Summary: not enough stars
Review: this movie is beyond your imagination. the storyline, special effects, the dialoge is awesome. so many great lines: "there is no spoon" "dont think you are, know you are" "do you think thats air your breathing?". I could go on for pages of all of the great lines. this movie is great. the symbolism is inspiring. so many deeper levels to this movie. I've watched it at least thirty times, and everytime i discover something new. so, if you havent bought this movie, your missing out. thats all.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Special Effects Ever.
Review: This movie is easily one of the best I have ever seen. The dialogue was revised to perfection. Great performance by Laurence Fishburne and Carrie Anne Moss. The special effects were amazing. The bullets, the explosions , and the kicks-oh the kicks. This has been a great experience in theaters. I also like it because it makes you question everything...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best of the 90's
Review: This movie is easily the best movie of '99 and possible the '90's. It's got it all, great effects, drama, action, plot and a smidge of romance. The filming is remarkable, and the plot is truly ingenious.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie EVER!!!!!
Review: This movie is excellent for many reasons. Not only does it have fantastic martial art special effects but it also has a somewhat beleivable story. Who knows we could be living in a matrix because you can't know. If you die you can know if there really is a heaven or a hell but iff you die you can't know if there is a matrix. nobody can't know and the story is multidimensional. Its a love story a sci-fi story a everybody story. Everyone who sees this movie will love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everbody loves it
Review: This movie is fast, adventurous, supenseful the whole chi-bang. Since it brought a new style to the show biz industry that many directors use in movies and television shows. I can watch this movie a billion times and not get sick of it. Its a great movie for parties because it has everything people like.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The 'magic' doesn't last.
Review: This movie is five years old now. It has spawned two sequels, and the Animatrix, and by the middle of 2002, the famous "Bullet Time" sequence had been spoofed in over 20 different movies. So to say the whole design of the movie is getting a little tedious now is an understatement now. The movie was revolutionary when it first started out, but now so many people have 'copied' the Wachowski brothers ideas, it's just not so great a film anymore. Well, the film is great, if very much about the talk rather than the action.

Matrix Revolutions has just come out on DVD. After the Matrix, Reloaded and Revolutions had a lot to live up to, and got absolutely slated in the press. I've been reading reviews for the DVD of Revolutions, and some of them have been very misleading - particularly one, which said it had no DVD extras. A sure sign of a reviewer not being able to be bothered to check out their facts first, when in fact, it's a 2-disc set, with a lot of extras.

Anyway, I just wanted to have a small rant about that :) before continuing. I have to rant to someone.

There's a lot of hard work put into the filming of the Matrix, as you can see just by watching it. Before filming, the main actors spent time with martial arts experts learning the fight movies, from October 1997-March 1998. Funnily enough, the actors thought originally this would only take a few weeks! Carrie Anne Moss was so afraid that she would get recast when she twisted her ankle, that she kept it quiet, which must have been extemely difficult!

There are many references that the Wachowski brothers have included in this, from comic books, to movies, to people! There are quite a few references to Alice In Wonderland; the traitor is called Reagan, and wants to become someone important and remember nothing when he leaves the Matrix, which could refer to former US President Ronald Reagan; when Neo is in the elevator to go and see the Oracle, he can see KYM carved into the wall, which refers to Kym Barrett, a costumer designer; and Neo's room number is 101 and Room 101 was the place in George Orwell's book "1984" where people were sent to be tortured and would end up believing something that wasn't true. (!)

Apparently, principal photography wrapped at 1:01am with the scene where the characters are inside the wall, climbing down. Principal photography took 25 weeks/118 days.

Before the Matrix, Keanu Reeves hadn't really had a major box office hit since maybe Speed in 1994. And there were a couple of good films inbetween that didn't get the recognition they deserved! :) But the Matrix trilogy has really propelled him to stardom, but no doubt, he'll leave it all behind now, and do some more 'bad' films.

I suppose everyone will always say this is the best of the trilogy. But once you have the first, you have to get the rest just to complete the trilogy. It's ridiculous to have 2 out of 3, or 1 of 3. The bit I hate about the whole movie, is the use of guns. They're overly used, and overall, guns are way overused in movies these days. But that's just my opinion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: absolutely mind stimulating!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Matrix : Real or Not
Review: This movie is full of great action packed stunts, moves, and special effects. Even though most of the special effects were created using a green room and computers, thwe still have the same effect as they live special effects do. The director has a way of making you feel like you are part of the action. He puts you right up close to what is happening, making it almost as if you are that character. It even makes you wonder if there really is something blinding us from the truth.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An action-packed movie that makes you stop and think
Review: This movie is full of special effects that will dazzle you. However, I found the story of the movie more interesting than the effects. I do not want to give away the point of the movie, but let me say that this movie is absolutely worth the price.
