The Matrix

Summary: The Matrix
Review: The Matrix is an amazing movie. It has groundbreaking special effects as well as an interesting plot and good acting. The kung-fu scenes are amazing, and the actual actors/actresses were trained by Hong-Kong choreographers to do almost all of their own stunts. It has remained my all-time favorite movie for almost 3 years now. If you like good action, sci-fi, or just good movies in general, you will love this movie.

Summary: Wow, change your way of thinking
Review: The Matrix is an awesome movie. It made me change the way I looked at things. It is soo good that I saw it in the theatre at least 4 times. There is good eye candy for all plus an intriguing plot that makes you have to watch it more than once. Every time you watch you will find a new thing in the Matrix.

Summary: Great SF
Review: The matrix is an effective and interesting film. The reason for this is that it is succesful at two levels. The first level is that it creates an artificial world which it gradually explains. This world is based on an original view of the future and is a plausable basis for an action film. The second level is that this is an effective action adventure film set in that world. The dialogue is effective for an action film and not embarrasing. The plot is taunt and gets you in.

The roles are all played well and both Keanu Reeves and the female lead are great. The action scenes are tremendous and you can watch them again and again.

This film will no doubt have a number of follow ups and make the cast and director a lot of money. This they richly deserve.

Summary: One of the post-tech classics
Review: The Matrix is an entangling ride that goes down to the deepest of our fears: The fear that our lives are nothing but lies, anything but real. In the pursuit of creating a concept of fate (as opposed to our lives being one big controlled experiment by our own creations -- darn it's hard to do a review without giving out too much information -- :)), a seemingly ordinary hacker with some extraordinary powers goes on a quest to reclaim humanity.. Keanu plays one of his better roles, Laurence is absolutely marvelous as Morpheus and Carrie-Ann gives the impression that she reallly is in the movie business to stay.. Get it.. NOW :)

Summary: Good Graphics, good story line, good acting and a lot more
Review: The Matrix is an excellent film. The graphics are just out of there and the acting performed by the actors is very good but what i can't get over is how excellent the story is. I mean whoever came up with the story must be a genius! The story is a little hard to follow at the beginning but it all falls into place if you follow the story carefully. i've seen many movies but this is without a doubt one of the best movies i've ever seen!

Summary: Movie's Great...This Package, Not So
Review: The Matrix is an excellent movie that combines science fiction, shoot-em-up action, and philosophical questions about the nature of Reality. If you are plugged in to a computer, and that computer presents you with a reality that is completely indistinguishable from your own, is it any less real?

This movie has exceptional special effects, beautiful cinematography, an excellent soundtrack, well-crafted dialogue, and respectable acting. Keanu Reeves may be a lousy actor, but I think that the Matrix is probably his best performance to date.

The Platinum Limited Edition isn't really worth the extra money unless you're an absolute, die-hard, take the red pill, freak. I wish I had known that before ordering this product. It comes in a box about as thick as an encyclopedia, and is fairly large, so it won't fit on the shelf with the rest of your DVDs. Opening it up, I was rather disappointed -- most of the volume is filled with a cheap plastic tray that contains a celluloid clip of the film with a blown-up photo (decent, but nothing fantastic), a few postcard-sized stills from the movie, and a copy of the normal DVD in a normal case. Nothing fantastic. For this money, I was expecting a DVD with DTS sound, alternate angles, deleted scenes, etc., but just got the same old Matrix disc. A major drag.

Do yourself a favor. Buy the basic copy.

Summary: Glad to have taken the red pill...
Review: The Matrix is an excellent movie! Had some of the best visual effects, EVER, and a complex story, in the midst of some awesome action scenes and stunts. If you didn't like the story, or acclaimed lack thereof, then you must not have understood it. A terrific movie worth seeing many times.

Summary: Simply Entertainment
Review: The Matrix is an excellent science fiction film, the operative word being fiction. For sheer entertainment this movie has it all, brilliantly conceived FX, shoot outs, martial arts etc..

Movies of this nature are here to entertain and nothing else. They aren't meant to stretch your mind, or its perception of the world. The character of Neo isn't made out to be a god or messiah in any way, simply he has the ability to bend the laws of an artificial computer generated world. Thus this makes him "the one".

Get this movie simply because it is good entertainment, don't try analysing it to death.

Excellent movie.

Summary: What is the Matrix?
Review: The Matrix is an experience that all movie lovers must see on DVD. The sound and picture are simply unbelievable. I've seen the movie in a theatre, at a drive-in theatre, on VHS, and finally on DVD. I, by far, reccommend the DVD format. Watching from the comfort of your own home and experiencing the beauty that is dolby digital surround sound is absoulutely the best way to go. It is well worth the few extra dollars that DVD is more than the VHS copy.
