Rating: Summary: excellent Review: great storyline - great movie. Whether its your first DVD or not, its well worth adding to your collection.
Rating: Summary: The Best Movie of the Century! Review: This movie was amazing! From the story to the special effects. The part I like best about the DVD of the Matrix, is that you can watch your favorite fighting scenes. The story was well thought through. The stunts were absolutely amazing.
Rating: Summary: The Matrix Review: The premise of this film is novel and well covered. It is difficult not to like this movie if you like action/adventure at all. It is better than most, a little dark (similar to The Crow), and the acting is excellent.The one thing that could have been left out was the little "love" scene that was beside the point, unnecessary, and obviously gratuitous.
Rating: Summary: The Best Action Movie of 1999! Review: Totally cool and awesome! Great action and the best fight sequences outside of Hong-Kong! Came out of the theatre with the same feeling as everybody else - "WOW!". Just don't get too deep into the story, enjoy it for what it is. If you get the DVD, think of it as a good excuse to get that projector and surround sound system! ;-)
Rating: Summary: Unusually provocative Review: The Matrix is a gem of a movie. I experienced it as a highly emotionaly and brilliantly choreographed science fiction fantasy. The Wacowski brothers are talented directors. Many of the action sequences are hard to forget due to their John Woo-esque poetic quality.
Rating: Summary: Bending the Spoon Review: If you don't watch this movie at least 3 times, you miss out on half of the goodies. At first the effects attack you with their jarring edginess, and then the idea of a real Matrix, and finally the philosophy becomes the sharpest edge. My whole family is full of conspiracy theorists, and this is our new favorite. An oracle that hands out cookies? Yes indeed. Spoon bending as a parlor trick and mind-numbing metaphor? Uh-huh. I am waiting breathlessly for 2 and 3. I understand, also, why some may not enjoy it. There is alot to absorb. And some of us are just too deep in the Matrix.
Rating: Summary: UNBELIEVABLE Review: This film is the best film i have ever seen.The special effects are UNBELIEVABLE and for the acting, it was brilliant.This is a must see movie.
Rating: Summary: Entertaining, Thought-Provoking, Compelling Review: Synopsis: A premiere sci-fi film with a lot of action and a thought-provoking premise Overall Entertainment Value: Excellent Violence: Abundant, but not gory Plot: Thought provoking, but not high brow or preachy Special Effects: Well Done and Visually Compelling Suitable For Age: Mature 16 Few movies compel me to watch them more than once. Fewer still can completely hold my interest a second time. This is one of the rare movies that I can enjoy every few months. Like Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and even Star Trek/Star Trek NG, The Matrix invites you to examine your notions of what being "alive" means. Ironically, the special effects that draw you into accepting the reality of The Matrix ultimately support a plot that forces you to challenge any notion you may have about objective reality. How do you *know* your reality is *the* reality? No, it's not some high brow intellectual art film; and yes, its violence, while not gory, is abundant. This is not a movie for early teens! Nonetheless, if you come away from it without wondering about the relationship between perception and reality (or whether objective reality can be proven at all!), then you'll have missed the point. If so, just go back to watching reruns of Seinfeld - and other shows that are proudly about nothing at all. For the rest of you, buy this on DVD because I suspect a VHS tape will wear out before your interest in this movie.
Rating: Summary: Matrix : a futureistic movie for today! Review: I think this movie makes you think about your life and how you deal with reality. It kinda wakes you up , so you see things in a different light. A must see for sci-fi fans!
Rating: Summary: First DVD experience Review: Matrix is the first movie that I loaded into my new DVD player. The visuals and sound tracks far surpassed the VHS movies that I am used to. The movie is fast paced, and a startling concept. I've watched the movie six times and have not found any glaring future-tech blunders that usually ruin these types of movies. I find Matrix to be a very satisfying future/sci/tech movie that I highly recommend.
