Rating: Summary: Great Special Effects, Great Movie Review: This is one of the best movies that I have seen in quite a while. While bending the mind with abstract concepts, it at the same time stays so close to reality. If you are a lover of special effects make sure to buy this movie, especially if you have a DVD player. The DVD version shows how some of the effects were done.
Rating: Summary: What is reallity? Review: This is one of the best of the 90's. Very similar to another film called "Dark City", in the sense that it makes you question what is real. The special affects are mind blowing, especially if you get to experience it with high end video and audio. A must have for anyone who owns a dvd player. Great extra's on the disk as well.
Rating: Summary: Great Science Fiction! Review: This is one of the best popcorn movies of the 90's but it is also extremely smart, has a great premise with an intelligent plot, nicely executed action sequences and breath-taking special effects. Keanu Reeves is great in the role of Neo, who carries the responsibility of disconnecting the human race from the Matrix. Laurence Fishburne is also great as Morpheus; Neo's mentor. Hugo Weaving also draws one of the best sci/fi villains as Agent Smith. It ultimately succeds in being an extremely entertaining and well done action/Sci-Fi movie. Only flaws are mis-casting in vital roles and a few plot-holes. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film an 8!
Rating: Summary: All a Sci-Fi Movie should be... and MORE. Much More! Review: This is one of the best sci fi movies you will ever see.. It can be viewed and appreciated on a dozen different levels. The story, editing, and cinematography are all stellar, and the special effects are second to none.The storyline and plot are way out there... but the film is carried off well enough that the viewer has no problem suspending disbelief. But on a completely different level you can go back and watch the film just to check out the incredible camera work and editing. The sets and wardrobe combine to create a sort-of postmodern, neo-apocalyptic cool. The soundtrack is very well matched to the action/feel of the film. The fight scenes are nothing short of jaw-dropping, especially considering the fact that most include Lawrence Fishburn and/or Keanu Reaves neither of whom are world-class kung fu masters (There ARE a dozen or so real life Kung Fu masters in the credits so I'm sure there was some stand-in action going on... but it is very smoothly done). Fishburn is awesome as "Morpheus" and really carries a lot of the plot development... Reaves is a little "cardboard-ish" in places but has really come a long way from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". If you are looking for some escapist brainless action, see this. If you are looking to have your mind blown by an incredible story with fatastic effects, see this. If you are looking for a masterpiece of the cinematographer's art... see this... but above all SEE THIS MOVIE! Oh, by the way... Is somebody on your list getting a dvd player from Santa? Get'em a copy of this movie so they can appreciate all that hi-res, hi-fi, super-mojo digital magic their new goodies can provide!
Rating: Summary: Must Buy! Review: This is one of the best sci-fi movies i have ever seen. to anyone who wants to see something mind boggling, see The Matrix. ttyl.
Rating: Summary: Totaly Awesome Review: This is one of the best sci-fi movies to along along in a long time. Not only does it have graphics that will blow you away, but its plot is one of the most original plots I've ever seen in a movie.
Rating: Summary: We all need the little red pill Review: This is one of the best sci-fi/action films of recent times. Those of us who are huge fans of George Lucas, do not want to betray our loyalties to him and say that there just may be a movie with bigger and better special effects that Star Wars. This movie is hear and it cannot be ignored. It is the matrix. Keanu Reeves is the savior of the human race against the evils of artificial intelligence. Lawrence Fishburne is the man behind bringing Reeves to the realization that he is the "one". The outstanding performances of all those cast in the film is another plus. Very much like Star Wars, all of the cast members are for the most part little known and so talented. Every minute of this film is unbelievable.
Rating: Summary: Well Written, Acted, and Produced Review: This is one of the best Science Fiction videos I have seen. The effects are stunning, but not overdone (in most cases). Perhaps the best effect in the movie is how they managed to mask all of Reeves' poor acting...he actually is bearable in this film! The story line is straightforward, and is blisfully absent of the 42 plot twists that most movies these days seem to feel are necessary. The only complaint I have about the movie is the over-the-top violence. I am not squeamish by any means, but a couple of sceenes in the movie left me wondering, 'WHY?' The DVD has the added 'follow the white rabbit' feature which allows you to see how a certain effect was done while in the movie. When you see the white rabbit, click it, or press ENTER on your remote to see how the effect was produced...wonderful!
Rating: Summary: dig this movie Review: This is one of the better directorials of the two brothers that has been around the market place. For those of you with the desire for science-fiction/drama movies that have plot and depth...this could be the one for you. Happy watching!!!! ")
Rating: Summary: The Best Review: This is one of the better movies I've seen in a while. It has plot, action, drama and suspense as well as being thought provoking. The special effects really kick!!
