Rating: Summary: BEST DVD FOR SALE TODAY Review: I saw the Matrix in the movies twice and rented the video countless times and even own it today. The Matrix is a great story that can kind of relate to our unreal lives today with a certain degree of irony that makes you think. Besides the story, I LOVE the documentary they did on how they made the movie. It is simply brilliant. Your DVD collection is not complete without this one.
Rating: Summary: Great premise, good start, but a bad finish Review: I saw the Matrix only because so many people reccomended it to me, and the idea did sound intriguing. And I was pleasantly surprised up until they woke Keanu Reeves up and brought him into the real world. After that not only does it become necessary for him to act, but the movie descends to sickening levels of testoscerone and explosions. It's a shame that they thought it was necessary to keep interest going by blowing things up and shooting everything. But the real shame is that it ruined what could have been a good movie.
Rating: Summary: GREAT Review: I saw the movie and loved it i thought that it was one of the great movies in life and actually made me think what if...
Rating: Summary: Mega rollercoster ride Review: I saw the movie in a theater. My Zenith dvd player rejected it with a screen message: "Disc error-1". Are ALL copies defective???? Because of CD rom and Music soundtrack features ,the DVD players may be getting them confused with an audio CD. So the reviewer from Pittsburgh is not alone. My dvd player played other dvd's with no problems.
Rating: Summary: Best original sci-fi next to STAR WARS Review: I saw the movie twice in the theatre. However, I am sceptical of buying the DVD because of the problems people have been experiencing. If anyone has had problems watching the movie on an RCA DVD player let me know so I don't waste my money.
Rating: Summary: Home entertainment at it's best! Review: I saw the movie when it came out but had no idea what effect it would have on me in the home. I've watched it at least 6 times in the past 7 days and I hit the "play" button at least once a day. I see new things every viewing. The commentary track is fascinating but what really surprised me is the music score-- no dialog , no sound effects,just the orchestration which makes such an impact by itself, it really is an education.
Rating: Summary: The concepts behind this film are mindblowing! GREAT JOB! Review: I saw this film HEAPS of times at the theatre, and could watch it over and over again - the last film I had this type of hype for was the orginal Highlander with Christopher Lambert!! Right from the moment The Matrix starts, you've had it - you're engrossed! Great concept, great actors, real great SOUND/music and great special effects!! I have recommended this film to tonnes of people! You can tell from my email address that I am a sucker for The Matrix!
Rating: Summary: far more than eye candy, but it is sweet eye candy! Review: I saw this in the theater with a friend of mine... we had both agreed that the trailers looked pretty cool, but we weren't expecting anything but a few special effects. WOW! Were we ever in for a surprise. This film totally surpassed my wildest expectations and hopes for an incredible visual, intellectual and thrilling experience. This movie has the most incredible special effects you've ever seen... but special effects are absolutely worthless without a story to back them up and actors that are convincing enough to make the effects believable. The story is unlike any you've heard before, but I can't tell much w/o revealing important parts of the plot... but suffice to say, you will have this film and story on your mind for several weeks after watching it as it will be hard to get some of these concepts out of your mind. I have this on DVD and I have watched the movie at least 20 times at home. It is easily watchable over and over again. This DVD is feature packed! The cast/crew commentary is enlightening and the behind-the-scenes featurette shows you how the cast trained and prepared for 9 months before they even started shooting. Built-in interactivity allows you to set up the DVD via your remote so that a white rabbit ("Alice in Wonderland" reference) blinks on the screen... you click when you see it and you get to see how the special effects were created in the exact scene you're watching. For DVD-ROM players on a Windows computer, you can view storyboards, the screenplay, games and more, but sadly, these special DVD-ROM features are not available on the Macintosh platform. Nonetheless, the movie is watchable on a Mac and the DVD is still feature-packed when viewed on a standard DVD player. This movie is not "Speed" or "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" in space or anything... it is a great concept and story... and non-stop action. Some movies seem cool at first blush, but when you start thinking about them after the fact, you start realizing all the holes in the plot and all the improbabilities. This does not happen with "The Matrix. " It is an extremely well-thought-out story that will keep you thinking long after you've seen it. The question the trailer asks you is, "What is the Matrix?" The movie answers this question. Believe the hype... this movie will blow you away!
Rating: Summary: My personal all-time fav!!!!! Review: I saw this in the theatres, it was unbelievable! The story itself is a cross between the Easter Story and Alice in Wonderland. The special effects are like no other. Great movie if you like Sci-fi or just great action! It definetly makes you think a lot after. You MUST see this movie in your lifetime!
Rating: Summary: 9 times Review: I saw this movie 9 times in the theatre, and watch the DVD weekely. If I can do that, you can see it atleast once. Keanu shines as Neo, Laurence Fishburne brings intelligence and depth to the roll, and Carrie Ann Moss has a great future in films based on this performance. " What is The Matrix?" One helluva movie.
