Review: Okay to be perfectly honest, I didn't think the special effects were very good, they looked fake to me, but that is because I work with special effects, so I know how it is done, and I know the CGI doesn't handle human movement very well, but for the time they did this the did one heck of a job. The special effects were actually easy to do, it is just know one had a script in which they could use them until now. Anyway I found this movie was very similar to Total Recal and Tron, but the characters in this movie knew how to dress. This movie didn't have a confusing plot or story, and the acting wasn't great, but it was good. Anyway The Matrix, the codirecting Wachowski brothers Andy and Larry annihilated any suggestion of a sophomore jinx. Set in the not too distant future in an insipid, characterless city, we find a young man named Neo (Keanu Reeves). A software techie by day and a computer hacker by night, he sits alone at home by his monitor, waiting for a sign, a signal--from what or whom he doesn't know until one night, a mysterious woman named Trinity seeks him out and introduces him to that faceless character he has been waiting for: Morpheus. A messiah of sorts, Morpheus presents Neo with the truth about his world by shedding light on the dark secrets that have troubled him for so long. Ultimately, Morpheus illustrates to Neo what the Matrix is a reality beyond reality that controls all of their lives, in a way that Neo can barely comprehend. Neo thus embarks on an adventure that is both terrifying and enthralling. Pitted against an enemy that transcends human concepts of evil, Morpheus and his team must train Neo to believe that he is the chosen champion of their fight. This was a very good movie but it is overated. Now the sequels look better than this, so if you haven't seen it, do so. Yes it is dated in terms of visual effects, but it is worth a look.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: special effects. woohoo.
Review: it was groundbreaking, but now it has been surpassed. It is interesting, but there are better. Its morality is questioned, its value is medium.

I used to love this movie. I was one of the fanatics when it came out. As I have grown since then, I have thought about it on occasion, and I do not believe it to be the wonder that everyone thought it was. I wont deny its interesting, or that it has some pretty sweet sound effects, but I no longer feel the need to even own it. anyone want my copy?

Summary: My Favorite Movie
Review: The Matrix is a great movie in all aspects. The action sequences are intense, and the special effects are amazing. But The Matrix is more than just guns, Kung Fu, and CGI. The story is very clever and thought-provoking. It reminds us that reality is more than just the world we live in. It also reminds us to never quit in the face of despair, to strive for excellence, and to seek the truth.

About the rating: Call me a square, but I usually don't see R-rated movies. However, fear not. I can't think of a PG-13 movie I've seen that is less offensive than The Matrix. It is quite violent but is not gory or graphic. The language is milder than most PG-13s. While I would not suggest it for children because of the sustained gunfighting scenes, I see no reason for the R rating. ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yes, the movie rocks, but what about the DVD?
Review: Needless to say, I loved this movie and was thrilled to get the widescreen edition on DVD. I give it 5 stars for THE MATRIX itself and 5 stars for the bonus features. If you're not into production notes or "Easter eggs," then buy THE MATRIX strictly for the movie, but the additional features are rather nice, including a short HBO documentary, commentary by Carrie-Anne Moss (Trinity) as well as editor Zach Staenberg and visual effects supervisor John Gaeta, and a music-only track. Explore a little further, and you'll stumble upon a demonstration of Gaeta's "Bullet Time" effect from conception to final realization, not to mention a few other video goodies.

As an aside, if you don't have home theater speakers for your DVD yet, THE MATRIX should give you an excuse to buy some. Or at least buy a subwoofer. Enjoy!

Summary: One word: WOW!
Review: The Matrix could be viewed as a turning point in modern movies. It was the first major production that introduced the idea that the world isn't what it seems. Lots of the special effects were created for the movie. I thought the whole thing was very innovative.
Thomas Anderson was a fairly normal guy. He had a day job with a respectable programming company, and he did a little less honest business on the side. The only thing that was wrong was that he was looking for the answer to a question: what is the matrix? Unfortunately, no one can be told what the matrix is, but they can be shown. Somewhat to his dismay, he was shown. Some problems arise, as you may have suspected, and Anderson, better known as Neo, finds a nice violent solution. Generally I avoid 'R' movies, but this one is an exception. I would say that only reason it was 'R' was because of the disturbing, sci-fi themes; anyone without a firm, established belief about life may end up a little rattled by the end of the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome DVD
Review: This is an awesome DvD that is packed with extra features including the making of "the matrix" and others. The main movie is great too with extra scenes deleted from tv, and enhanced picture. Obviously, we all know the story of the matirx, a man realizes that his world is a computer simulation, and a man named morpoheus is set to free him from the "program", because he believes he is the one who can put an end to it. This movie is awesome, and i can't wait until the sequal comes out this summer.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not the greatest film I ever saw
Review: The Matrix - great special effects - one hell of a lousy movie. The movie just tended to be rather dull without all the action. Their attempts at making what the Matrix really is about is rather dull and heavy handed. Other than that the film was high on action but not enough on class

Incidentally I thought Fight Club was a better movie - had more humour in it
