Summary: I just like the Kung-Fu Scenes
Review: I really didn't care for the storyline. Interesting philosophy, but let's face it, I came to watch Keanu and his crew kick some Agent butt. And they did it with style! The leather duds and the shades just raise the ***-whooping factor to a new level of cool. Carrie-Ann Moss with those kicks -- you go, Girl! I'll have to admit that my favorite characters were the agents. I don't know why, but they were. They were lethal despite their non-chalant, expressionless demeanor. They're like the Secret Service without the paranoia. Totally unyielding and unimpassioned and completely static -- not your standard, everyday enemy. I normally don't watch action flicks without a decent plot, but this movie could get away with it. It bleeds cool. Check it out!

Summary: Why this movie matters?
Review: Have you ever imagined what would happen if the noble intention of bettering society through the use of technology would be misused for vicious motives? Have you ever thought if one person could stand up against an extraordinarily powerful entity that keeps updating itself in order to be invincible? Can a lowly computer operator overcome the tendency of going complacent and convince the general society that they were living a lie and to embrace the truth, despite the certainty that they would suffer grave consequences, the likes we haven't imagined before?Well, that is what The Matrix is all about. Deep mythology. Wild Action. A group of dedicated rebels for the cause of the truth. Oh, yes. That very annoying agent guy who keeps coming back. Watch the DVD and then save up money in order to watch the next two installments in the theaters. The Wachowski Brothers have done a brilliant job of pushing the envelope in filmmaking. When the next two movies eventually come out on DVD, make a note to yourself to play some banging electronica on your stereo system. :)

Summary: Friday night regular
Review: Whenever I am stumped at which movie to rent I always end up renting The Matrix. Without a doubt, this movie continues to amaze me with its special effects. It is expected that the plot would fall second to its special effects, but it holds its own quite well. I cannot wait for the next installment of the Matrix. I

Summary: Is Style or Story More Important
Review: I forced myself to put a 4 star rating on this film. This film has a story line that I had a hard time believing in, and I can't even say that the acting of Keanu Reeves made the film any better. I have never really been impressed with Reeves abilities, but I am less impressed now that ever. I loved the special effects though. They were spectacullar. I found myself rewinding the action packed scenes for a second go-round. The effets themselves probably could have made up for an actors short-comings, unless of course the acting was of an extrodinarly low caliber, such as was the case with Reeves. As I said I forced myself to give a 4 star rating. That is because the special effects were wonderful and the other actors and actresses have a fair amount of talent. The story line, although I wasn't convinced it could happen because there were to many open ends, was very orginal. If only it had undergone a little more development...

Summary: The Matrix
Review: The world we're living in is just a blanket, to hide you from the real world. You're dreaming, but you've never woke up. This is the concept of "The Matrix". Don't be fooled by the start, this movie gets very good. This is one of my favorite sci-fi movies, up there with "Minority Report". The action is great, and the effects are breathtaking. I would recomend this to anyone who feels like watching a different kind of movie, sci-fi fan or not.

Summary: The movie that redefined the action-genre.
Review: When previews for The Matrix hit the movies, people were probably confused as well as excited. Me, I was more confused then excited. But, I put my differences aside and I fell for the "what is the matrix?" ploy and then I was just blown away. This movie was one of the few that I have seen that can balance science fiction, comics, hong kong action and anime films all at once. You weren't sure what you were watching at first, but you didn't care. It grabbed you and held you as you went deeper into the world of the Matrix.
Yeah, it may not be the best movie I have ever seen, but it is high on the list. Even if Keanu is not an Oscar calibur performer, he is still enjoyable to watch as Neo. It's a great popcorn flick with a little philosophy and a lot of style.

Summary: 2003 is the year for the Matrix
Review: This is a definite 'must-see' action film. If you have not seen this film yet it is time to come out from under that rock. 2003 is the year for the Matrix. The follow-ups are to be released this year. The Super Bowl was yesterday and the trailer aired for Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions. It was the one commercial that changed the room of guys from roaring laughter from the Budweiser commercial into silence and put us all under a spell of awe-inspired concentration. We all make a vow to be there opening night. No one should miss out on these films of 2003. But before you consider the easy decision of going to the theater, you must take the action needed to see this film in order to prepare you for the rush of Reloaded and Revolutions. No decision here, if you want to see the sequels, you must see the origin.

Summary: Another great fear-of-technology flick!
Review: I love The Matrix. It's a great movie that reaches deep within the human psyche and deals with what could easily be considered one of today's biggest fears--the fear of technology and what kind of negative impact it could have on today's society. It tells the story of Neo (Keanu Reeves), who works for a large, faceless corporation by day and who is a system hacker by night. One night, however, he meets Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), who takes him to see her superior, Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), and that's when the REAL fun begins. I gave this DVD a high rating simply because everything about the movie was excellent. I was very impressed by Keanu Reeves in the role of Neo--he has come a long way from his Bill and Ted days, and can play any part with flair and panache. Carrie-Anne Moss was good as Trinity, and Laurence Fishburne's Morpheus was dazzling. I also loved Hugo Weaving's Agent Smith, the psycho nutjob who does everything he can to destroy Morpheus and Company. The best part about this movie is that it blends the action and storytelling so well, unlike most action films these days, which tend to be all action and no plot. The Matrix has a good, well thought-out plot that fits in quite nicely around the action scenes and makes the movie very enjoyable. All in all, a wonderful film. I'm looking forward to the sequels.

Summary: Computer Geek/Kung Fu Masters of the Universe
Review: What more can you say? It's not entirely original material; the basic concept has been explored before. But it's extremely well done and if you accept the "Humans as Coppertop Batteries" premise there are no serious plot holes. My only quibble with the big action fight scene is how when they emptied the weapon they simply dropped it and pulled out another - wouldn't it be easier to carry fewer guns and spare clips? Another movie in the same vein that I can recommend is Dark City.
