Rating: Summary: You've Got To Be Kidding Me!!! Review: If you're a big Sci-fi fan you might love this. I am not. I'm actually astounded by how many people took the time to write a review. I'm equally if not more astounded by how many felt compelled to give it 5 stars. To each his own, I guess. I saw this on a rainy Saturday and it was not my first choice. I can't even remember what we originally wanted to see but it was sold-out so we got stuck seeing "The Matrix". Anyway, I will give this film the two stars for its ground-breaking special effects. They were cool. That said, I cannot for the life of me understand what so many people find so fascinating about this film. I read some of the 5-star reviews and it never ceases to amaze me. I might possibly need to see this film again to try and get what everybody else did and what apparently went way over my head. I know there was a ton of existentialist, futuristic, mumbo-jumbo philosophizing going on and truth to tell I was bored out of my mind. I honestly couldn't wait for the closing credits. The film isn't even that well-directed and for something that is supposed to be a suspense film I couldn't have been more relaxed. I loved The Wachowski Brothers' first film "Bound". But as far as "The Matrix", one word: Feh.
Rating: Summary: A real winner for SciFi fans, especially those into VR Review: If you're a SciFi VR enthusiast, DON'T miss this movie! It's got everything you'll want: great story line, excellent special effects, wonderfully developed characters, and an ending that will both satisfy and leave you wanting more. If you enjoy this sort of thing, be sure and read Jack L. Chalker's three book series "The Wonderland Gambit" and Robert Charrette's "ShadowRun" books. A great deal of the story in this movie was lifted from these books; all are excellent SciFi and drama.
Rating: Summary: matriXiting Review: If you're into a movie that gives your brain a good going over, with twists and turns and amazing special FX, then The Matrix is the one for you. It boasts stars like Samuel L Jackson and Keanu Reeves, who has, I think revived his flagging movie career with this movie. The Matrix also sets the scene for those who are fashion conscious. The very slick costumes and sunglasses add to the very cool, futuristic feel of the film. The dark feel of the film, which comes through in the characters and their costumes are continued in the awesome sountrack that accompanies the movie. (fans of Manson and Rammstein will love the music). All in all, I found The Matrix to be a very polished, thought provoking movie about our present and future society and the "Big Brother" complex that we seem to have in this technological age.
Rating: Summary: A stunning movie Review: If you're into Sci-Fi then you've already seen this and chances are you love it.For the rest of you it's a great movie to introduce you to the world of Sci-Fi without klingons or a dictionary.Nope you need not be a nerd to enjoy this.After seeing the trailor with it's sweet graphics and Laurence Fishburne who is one of my favorite,and underrated,actors I had to see the movie.I am so glad I did 'cause it's one of my favorites.Of course Laurence steals the show with his acting abilities.Keanu Reeves easily gives his best acting job in his entire career.Actually the entire cast does a solid acting job.I don't wanna tell to much about the movie 'cause you should see it for yourself.What I will say though is I'm really expecting the sequels 'cause I can't get enough.If you really loved the movie check out "Dark City",which is a masterpiece,and "Akira",an even bigger and better masterpiece.Both require you use your brain and imagination,especially "Akira" 'cause if you're stupid,be honest with yourself,chances are you won't like it 'cause you don't "get it"(and you won't get it on amazon since they don't even sell it).
Rating: Summary: It'll be a classic Review: If you're the type of person who'd want excitement, then "The Matrix" is the one for you. It's got action, adventure, and heart-pounding entertainment. This thriller, as well as its sequals, tell one story: a futuristic world controlled by artificial intelligence, all depending on humans beings as their power source. To control our lives, these A.I. have created "The Matrix", an ultimate system which has created a computer generated world where we can live in. But while living in the seemingly real world of the Matrix, human beings are blindingling living a life that does not really exist, living a life without physical or mental freedom. But are human beings to be under the control of the Matrix? Only the so-called "One" can free humanity from the evil Matrix, but who is this "One"? In "The Matrix", Keanu Reeves and Lawrence Fishburne star as heroes trying to free mankind from the Matrix. Keanu Reeves is Neo, who, by day, works for a computer company, but by night, he's a computer hacker. Sitting by his seat and using the computer has led him to contact with Morpheus (Fishburne), an opponent of the Matrix. With the help of Trinity (Carrie-Ann Moss) Morpheus is able to free Neo from the Matrix. But is Neo the "One" who will free all humanity from the Matrix? "The Matrix" is a combination of karate, action, and sci-fi. It includes state-of-the-art special effects that will blow you away. This movie's depiction of the futuristic "real world" (our world) was both stunning and disturbing. Its action scenes were are wonderous to behold. The way Neo dodges bullets is a memorable scene. Its storyline is very catchy and interesting! Our world is actually a hoax? Whoa! Dodging bullets, running really fast, jumping really high, and doing impossible things? Cool! Overall, "The Matrix" is a fiml for movie lovers out there. This movie is a sci-fi classic.
Rating: Summary: One of those you need to watch twice Review: If you've seen The Matrix only once and some parts left you scratching your head, watch it again. You'll catch new things on the second, third and fourth viewings. A beautifully complex and compelling film.
Rating: Summary: Science fiction/Adventure with a Kick Review: If your looking for a great action or sci-fi movie this is it! The Matrix has a great plot concept, one that really makes you think. It's really just a fun movie to watch. You might be warry that it might not have a great plot because it does have great special effects, but it has a very interesting concept. I really enjoyed this movie!
Rating: Summary: best movie of the millenium! Review: ima keep this short, whether u like action, sci-fi, drama, or w/e this is the movie for anyone and everyone. it has the best special effects ever. it has revolutionized movies. this is a must have...
Rating: Summary: Best Sci-Fi flick of the decade Review: Imagine a plot as thought provoking, or even at times confusing, as Total Recall but with more action, better special effects and acting. The music score and costumes combined with the slow motion action sequences will surely send a chill down your spine. At the same time this movie will also make you think about the surreal possibilities of the future. A must see if even only for the eye candy.
