Summary: A special effects masterpiece
Review: The scintilating array of special effects in this movie are like nothing that I've seen before. A true zenith of movie making. The effective and interesting plotline also adds to this movies appeal, but the action and effects are clearly the clinchers. Fishburne, Reeves, and Moss mesh together well to form a team of people trying to save mankind. Lastly, the Dolby Digital is amazing, perfect sound. If not for the slow beginning, this movie would have gotten 5 stars. A must have on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Can't wait for more Matrix"
Review: WOW! This has to be one of the most exciting and brilliant sci-fi movies to come out in the last few years. It starts out fast, the action taking you for a ride, and it slows down just enough when Morpheus(Fishburne) first begins to explain to Neo(Reeves) about what the Matrix is and how it works. This movie was put together very well, and the martial arts scenes showed a lot of time and effort was put into them. I can't wait for Matrix 2.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is amazing and it will change the way you think!
Review: You'll love it, any sci-fi fan would and many more. I also can't wait for the next two movies as it was originally intended as a trilogy. Do yourself a favor and check this one out, I used to have dreams that were something like this! when I was younger and more creative! :) I especially liked Morhpeous, don't know if I spelt that right!

p.s. oh and if there's any of you Transformer's fans out there run on over and click on DVD format, throw in your vote for it to come out on DVD! You'll be making a lot of people happy! =)

Summary: Sci-Fi meets Anime
Review: This was an amazing movie. Everything about it rocks. The very dark look and cinematography reminded me of movies like Dark City and Brazil. The story was unique and original without being contrived. The action in this movie has some of the most amazing scenes I have ever seen. The fight scenes rival those of even John Woo films such as The Killer and Hard Boiled. The actors were all excellent, even Keanu Reeves, who gives a minimalist, yet realistic performance. I recently got it on DVD and was amazed at the transfer quality. Both the picture quality and the sound are simply amazing. Buy this DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie you'll ever see!
Review: I absolutly LOVED this movie! The special effects, the sounds, and ESPECIALLY the plot are the best I've ever seen. I watched this movie 3 times over when I rented it and I still can't get enough. I agree with anyone who says they wanted more at the end, and anyone who knows ANYTHING about a sequel better e-mail me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great
Review: at first when i saw previews for this movie i thought it was going to be stupid. but when i actually saw the movie it was great. i loved it. It may seem a bit dull in the beginning, but its well worth the wait. neo looks real good in the black.. w/ the guns.. its a great movie. i love watching it. i recomend that if you haven't seen it, see it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Just Realized Something!
Review: After watching this movie in the theaters I was incredibly confused. I couldn't understand why Keanu came across so believable. I knew from past films that his acting is bad (borderline atrocious). Remember Bill & Ted? Point Break? Dangerous Liasons? Speed? I can go on.

Well. I recently came to a revelation. Keanu played Neo so well because..... HE ONLY HAD LIKE 10 LINES IN THE WHOLE MOVIE!

But seriously, this is the best out there in terms of visual effects, sound, and pure imagination. And the DVD has plenty of goodies for all those "behind-the-scenes-buffs". I haven't experienced any glitches in the DVD. All smooth and constant picture and sound. Enjoy. And for the next 2 installments, let's pray that Keanu shuts up again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A 4 star movie transformed to 5 stars through DVD
Review: Matrix is a perfect example of how a movie can shine brighter on DVD. The sound effects were great and crystal clear and the extras are the best I have seen. The viewer has the option of watching the movie as normal, except when a white rabbit icon appears, you can click it and see the special effects scene being created. When the "extra scene" is finished, the movie picks up where it was.

As for the movie... I found the plot original albeit a little difficult to follow. Like most people, I think "K. Reeves = Topical plot". Well that is wrong in this case. I have watched the movie several times without boredom setting in. The stunts, effects and action are fresh for a high budget movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Overrated, but good.
Review: I think this movie almost put me into a coma the second time my friend dragged me to the theater. I dislike this movie a little more than I should simply because I think it's overrated. But I bought the DVD anyways on sale, if only for the eye candy.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A Mindless Way to Spend an Afternoon
Review: It must be the "age-thing" because I just didn't find this film to be all that others said it was cracked up to be. The special effects were great but the story was somewhat confusing and muddled. The performances from the principles was adequate, although I had difficulty at times understanding both Fishburne and Reeves because of their "muffled" deliveries. Both - yes, BOTH - have done better work in the past. I suppose a big pay check was the reason for their decision to get involved in such fluff!

This is one of the films that will not "age" well. Its use of contemporary terminology and fears about present and future technology will be meaningless in a few years. Thus, the film, no matter its current popularity, will not make anyone's great films' list.

For all its Academy Award-winning SFX the flick was no more satisfying than a video game. A less successful film of the early 80's came to mind after I saw "The Matrix."

Can anyone say "Tron?"
