Rating: Summary: Features+ Review: The extra "stuff" on this DVD make it a must have. The red pill "What is the Concept" is my favorite. Follow the white rabbit is a great feature.

Rating: Summary: The next generation in movies Review: The fights in this movie represent total accuracy in the traditional ways of the old arts. Total perfection in tecnique. the actors trained hard to learn to do everything properly. somthing that I usually detest about other movies. the fighters zip around and make fantasticly new higher standards for martial arts to follow forever after. thousands will tell you the same thing over and over that this is the greatest movie yet made for mixes special effects to better the action instead of vise versa. it is as good as people say it is.Some of the greatest fights anywhere. I love this movie
Rating: Summary: This movie is a bad joke. Review: The film has a very interesting philosophic idea, and the plot is indeed unpredictable. But the movie itself is too bad. The main idea was well developed but it was not entirely original. It was taken from Total Recall and The Nightmare on Elm Street. And it was also unreasonably violent. All people around there were enemies. It was ok for the main hero to enter the federal building and start killing everyone he sees. What this movie teaches our children and us? The plot has too many holes. Why, for example, people have to die in reality if they were killed just in the dream? There was nothing great or special in the special effects. The actions were intense but still too primitive. Characters were not well developed. Bad acting. I was disappointed with this movie. It does not worth watching even once.
Rating: Summary: Verry entertaining. Review: The film is set in the future, aproximatly 3000 AD. The world as we know it is "normal 2000AD" -known as the Matrix- but this is an illusion as the humans are bread as batteries for machines. There are renegade humans, intent on freeing the other humans from the Matrix. The story centres on a man recently freed from the matrix, destined to destroy it. Other than that watch it and find out for your self.
Rating: Summary: Simply-wow! Review: The film of the century, nothing has come close in a long time! I am a sci-fi nut and haven't seen such suspense, special effects or great plot and story line since Alien or Terminator. Although watching it again and again does turn tedious, the film is one of the best. A great film and a great buy.
Rating: Summary: IT IS THE BEST FILM I"VE WATCHED IN YEARS Review: THE FILM WAS WELL CONCEIVED IT KEEPS YOU GRIPPING THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT FROM BEGINNING TO THE END.
Rating: Summary: Thin And Violent Review: The films's entire premise rests on the fact that reality is a dream and that the real real world is somehow different to the one that we perceive. This is Philosophy 101 and while providing a couple of hours of animated discussion over a few beers is hardly the 'deep' or 'thought-provoking' original experience most reviewers seem to think, unless they need Holywood to do all their thinking for them. The plot is so full of holes it is unbelievable, any truely great sci-fi film has to stand up to at least cursory examination (dont use humans use any less sentient but more efficient beings thereby obviating the need for the matrix(or a more efficient chemical or nuclear reaction), why have the agents wear sunglasses and suits? (in fact the whole agent thing is a mess)) and the level of violence using guns does seem to make this look like a commercial for the manufacturers, (why use brains or even a plot when you just have to shoot everyone in sight in gunfights that just seem to go on forever). Finally I didnt even really care what happened to the characters if that was humanity's best hope I'm afraid it left me cold. As to the special effects you only need to compare two previous efforts with groundbreaking effects, Lawnmover Man and Toy Story, both led the field in effects but the first was lousy the second great because, in the end, what matters is the script and the acting (even by cartoons). The effects soon become irrelevent particularly as as technology improves all films will be able to look like the Matrix but I hope at least some will provide a better use of 2 hours.
Rating: Summary: Welcome To The Real World Review: The first and the best of the trio of the Matrix movies. The Wachowski brothers spin a tale of a man, Neo, played Keanu Reeves, who is awakened from the dream that he has been living his entire life. He learns that his life has merely been part of a computer-generated matrix, a 'reality' created by machines for all of humanity in their version of a final solution. The humans dream their lives away while the machines siphon off their biological energy to power their world. As the "Chosen One," Reeves is trained for the purpose of defeating the machines by destroying their matrix--the computer programs that keep humanity enslaved. The movie borrows elements from Tron and injects philosophical and martial arts aspects. Many of the special effects are outstanding, as are the physical combat scenes between the heroic humans and the sadistic agents (computer programs that serve as assassins). While some of story goes unexplained--such as how Morpheus knew Neo was the "Chosen One," and how they manage to continually tap into the matrix with no opposition--it is still wonderful storytelling. The end of the movie is, actually, only the beginning of the story. Excellent sci-fi entertainment. It's a shame the sequels weren't as good.
Rating: Summary: started of genuis ended with generic action movie. Review: The first half of this movie reminded me of Dark City except the concept was a little darker but the actual sets were brighter. The first half was amazing and mind-boggling. But then they grab the guns and shoot at each other the rest of the movie. Really I think they really could have done a better job with a more intelligent ending to the movie. But it probaly wouldn't have made half the money. It's still worth seeing for the first half though.
