Summary: the movie is about the story
Review: I noticed that many of the other reviewers were fixated on the special effects and all sorts of other alphabet soup. Special effects are not what these movies are about. These movies are about the story, the questions, the implications, and the philosophy. The special effects only aid in the visualization of neo's abilities and of the powers held by everyone who realizes them. If you think that The Matrix is about special effects then I suggest that you watch it a few more times and maybe then you will understand it. You can never watch The Matrix too many times.

Summary: There is no spoon.
Review: I originally rented The Matrix to "get even" for having to endure my spouse's previous choice of a "chick flick." She wasn't amused with the choice, but agreed to sit through it and ultimately said it "wasn't bad," which is about as positive as she would get for this genre.Short summary: Excellent special effects and great supporting characters. The Wachowski brothers do an excellent job of creating the environment and there is a lot of obvious effort made in maintaining the atmosphere. (To wit: Swallowing the pill, slimy rebirth) The DVD version has some wonderful behind-the-scenes footage. The explanation of "bullet time" and how the effects were done added to my enjoyment and helped me appreciate how much effort and training was involved by the actors. The story boards and the "Follow the White Rabbit" program worked really well. When I initially saw the movie, I felt there was a strong John Woo influence, confirmed in the interview with the Wachowski brothers confirmed it. The supporting characters Agent Smith (masterfully played by Hugo Weaving) and The Oracle (Gloria Foster) were, by far, the most interesting in the movie. After multiple viewings, I have special appreciation for the depth which Agent Smith is played and how he develops the seething rage at the world he's trapped in. The movie is excellent entertainment, and the DVD is an incredible example of what can be done with media. "There is no spoon."

Summary: WATCHED IT 100 TIMES
Review: I OWN ABOUT 30 DVD'S, BUT WHEN MY FRIENDS COME OVER THE ONLY REQUEST I EVER SEEM TO GET IS MATRIX. TURN UP THE SURROUND SOUND, SWITCH OFF THE LIGHTS AND LET THE BASS AND SPECIAL EFFECTS BLOW YOU AWAY. THIS ONE IS A MUST FOR YOUR COLLECTION.

Summary: Great movie to teens who love action/violence movies.
Review: I personally like "The Matrix" for the updated movie technology used. The plot of a group of people trying to save the human race from liers and one big lie, "The Matrix" is very intreging to me. Plus the little bit of love added in for the classic apeal is very captivating to a teens eyes.

Summary: Amazing special effects in a movie that questions reality.
Review: I personally rate this movie to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. Rarely do I go to the movie theatre twice to see a movie. Furthermore,I preordered the DVD in my anxois await to bring this movie home. In other words, I loved this movie to the end. Every part of it was fabulous. The special effects were cutting edge; the story line was original and inventive; and the actors played their parts perfectly. My favourite genre of movies are SciFi, and this movie definetly pulled the right strings!

Summary: Enter another world.....
Review: I picked up this DVD after the hype involved with new second movie- matrix reloaded. You must definately see the first Matrix before even attempting to see the sequel. The matrix creates a different reality that is quite hard to follow if not viewed in order.
The Matrix is a sci fi and action adventure movie that breaks the mold- it is beautifully shot, choreographed and filmed. AT the time of its release, its camera shots were one of a kind and are frequently copied.
The matrix stars Keanu Reeves-( i was never a fan of his until this movie.) He does a brillant job of portraying a computer analyst who is a hacker at night and stumbles onto "the Matrix". His guide into this new world is Morpheus- who is brillantly protrayed by lawrence fishburne.
Unlike most films, the Matrix gets better after each viewing as the action is fast paced and there is a lot of intricacy and nuances that you pick up each time you view it. It is a definite must purchase and is already a classic!
