Summary: A stylish mess
Review: This film is so dull and boring and is a major dissapointment after the brilliant Dark City. It clunks along at a very slow pace every now and again throwing in a fight sequence to releive the boredom. It tries too hard to be too many things. It never reaches the mythological, adventurous or down rite fascinaiting levels of the four Star Wars movies. Neither does it bring home a "man against machines" message that the Terminator films do. The Matrix looks good just like Keanu Reeves. But like it's star it has nothing to back that up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The first movie everyone should own on DVD
Review: OK, if you don't own this movie, close your browser right now. This is, by far, the best combination of complex/fascinating plot, action, special effects and acting ever created. Keanu's role is kept carefully dry while the other characters reveal the dark, somber realities of The Matrix. Trust me, if you don't want to buy this movie, I'll send you the money for it, and you can pay me back when you feel like you've gotten your money's worth -you will watch it again, and again and again...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The first DVD I bought...and 40 DVD's later, still the best.
Review: If ever a movie was made for DVD, it's The Matrix.

It's not a coincidence that Professional Testers of DVD hardware use this movie as the Benchmark. It's visually, aurally, and feature-wise the BEST DVD in the market.

I've watched this DVD over 30 times. I don't mean I've watched certain scenes...I've watched the ENTIRE movie over 30 times. If you throw in the number of times I've seen the "FREE MORPHEUS", "MORPHEUS vs. NEO", and "MORPHEUS vs. THE AGENT" scenes, and the features then I've probably logged the equivalent of a week watching this remarkable DVD.

I won't go into the plot...you all probably have all seen this before or heard about it.

I will go into the features though. If you ever wanted to know how they froze Trinity in the air or how they did the bullet fire, you'll love it. The featurettes are thoroughly educational. Being a tech-junkie, I was enveloped by the teachings of the technical creators.

The play-along commentaries by the actor who played Trinity, special effects wizard, and producer are entertaining. They were all in the same viewing room so the commentaries are conversational. It really is like watching the movie with 3 of the key contributors of this GREAT movie in your living room.

If you are going to own only 1 DVD...THIS IS THE ONE. If you just bought a DVD player...scroll up to the top of this page and ADD IT to YOUR CART!!!

Summary: THE Sci-Fi Classic of Our Generation
Review: You may ask, "What's all the hype about?". I would answer, "What rock have you been under?" This film grabs you.. and drags you unapologetically through a futuristic world of an alternate reality, leaving you winded, bruised and thinking in the process. It is a fast-paced, slick barrage of visuals that seemingly jumped from the pages of Heavy Metal and were put to a great soundtrack. Stunning special effects that were developed for the film immediately started showing up in other films and television shows, including Superbowl coverage. The Wachowski Brothers struck a perfect balance between thought- provoking "What If's" and heart-pounding action sequences. Matrix has a tight script that requires 2 or 3 viewings to catch all the nuances. It is among my very favorite movies, which I've seen many times and have yet to tire of.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Movie Rocks, set sucks
Review: If this was only for the DVD, i would give it 6 stars, that's how much i like this movie, but the set is not worth it. why would you use half of these things, all you need is the DVD, not lobbycards, or a special case!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie!!!
Review: This is a great movie to watch!! The special effects are great and the story is very different from other action packed movies!! Good acting by keanu, carrie-anne moss and lawrence fishbourne.

Watching The Matrix on DVD makes it even better because you can watch it in widerscreen and the sound is clearer!! This dvd also provides behind the scenes look and dditional features for the dvd-rom. This movie also won 4 oscars, including 1 for special effects and one for the soundtrack, so watching it on dvd is great, cos you can choose on only listening to the background score of the matrix while watching the movie!!

All in all, this is a good addition to your dvd collection! See it now

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mindbending!
Review: I went to see this film at the movies, and was not expecting much.Boy, how wrong could i be! i enjoyed it so much i went back the following day and watched it again! Although i have the region 2 version of this film, i'm sure there is not many differences, i would reccomend this to any one who doesn't mind thinking about a film, as a lot of people i know said they found it confusing, i did not however.Excellent special FX , excellent acting, excellent storyline. It makes you fell like a kid again, by the way it makes you want to be Neo, and learn Kung-Fu in a few minutes.I can't wait for the sequels. :o)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: total ...
Review: extremely bad writing (what is this ridiculous religious subtext mixed in with insane inaccuracy and "my way or the highway" dialogue???), extremely bad acting. the special effects are not very good and are often very out of place (the only reason people liked them is because they are a-plenty). a horrible effort. the only thing worth some merit is that some of the action sequences pack some punch. other than that, says nothing, does nothing, and isn't worth anything. not recommended
