Summary: Beautiful looking scifi film
Review: All my friends really love the Matrix. Having seen it recently, I find it hard to like. The plot is something that I could have written on a boring history class , and the pacing is not done very well. On the other hand, the film has some beautiful special effects(you can see the influences of Hong Kong action films and japanese anime). But they cannot hide the fact that its basically just an unoriginal film made with lots of money. I saw Blade Runner recently and it showed that a film can have beautiful visuals and interesting content.

Summary: What is social perception?
Review: If you heard about this movie and never seen it, then you are missing the experience many people get. It's a cult classic apocalyptic sci-fi movie that is similar to Terminator, but on a different dimension.

Summary: Escaping the Matrix
Review: This movie bites off a bit more than it can chew. It wants to pose the question: what is really real? It also wants to make us think about the meaning of our lives--a point overlooked by almost all reviewers.--Are we just cogs in a tremendous impersonal machine that is the world? Are we no more than fuel that sustains civilization? What is this civilization? And who is it for? Of course, these are all good questions. Too bad the characters in this movie are flat and the acting is mediocre. I felt no sympathy for any characters in this contrived and predictable film. And I felt relieved when it was all over.

Summary: WOW!
Review: This is the best movie I have ever seen! The movie is so good words cannot describe it! The story line is the best I've ever seen, the fx are the best, this is the best movie out there. If you can only get one movie, this should be it. I gave this movie five stars because I couldn't anything I didn't like about it. The bottom line is this is the best movie ever made in the history of movies.

Summary: if the movie is excellent, just guess how good the special..
Review: If the movie is excellent, just guess how good the special will be, look at it in perspective, The Matrix on VHS was great in itself. Now add tons and tons of extras and you get the limited edition PLATINUM version. Now, I have the The Matrix on VHS and the tape is starting to wear out because of the obsessive viewing! Now i will try not to scratch this beauty up, OK! BUY IT BUY IT!

Summary: Stunningly original.
Review: The Matrix surprised everyone in 1999 by being so utterly brilliant. A truly original film, it had a similar sort of impact to when Star Wars came out in 1977. (Incidentally, the Phantom Menace came out at the same time, but the Matrix more than held its own.) Written and directed by the Wachowski brothers, the Matrix is seemingly set in the present day, where Thomas Anderson, played by Keanu Reeves, lives an ordinary life by day, and is a computer hacker by the name of Neo at night. His night-time activities bring him into contact with a mysterious person named Morpheus (Laurence Fishbourne). Anderson discovers that reality as he knows it at the end of the twentieth century is an elaborate sham, a hoax. His world is simply the Matrix; in the real world, he, and the rest of humanity, are in bondage, enslaved by a malevolent artificial intelligence. The film follows Anderson's dramatic discovery of the real world, and ultimately, a dramatic discovery concerning himself. The film is set up for at least one sequal, but works well as a single independent film. The screen effects are unprecendented in their brilliance, and are enough on their own to keep you on the edge of your seat. Besides that however, the story is fascinating, and the script very appropriate. Keanu Reeves is not the greatest of actors, but he plays to his strengths here, highlighting the vulnerability of Neo. Fishbourne is very cool as Morpheus, and newcomer Carrie Anne-Moss supports them excellently as Trinity. The film is complicated enough to be difficult to condense into a review, and exciting enough for me not to want to spoil it by going into great detail; it simply demands to be watched.

Summary: What is the Matrix?
Review: A fresh, new, innovating movie, which has set new standards for Y2K cinema. And you discover new things every time you see it again. But after a while you've seen it too much, anaylized it till it's last line and the introducing scenes get old... Actually the whole movie gets old after seeing it too much. But it's still great. Keanu Reeves made a great comeback and Laurence Fishburn is just magnificent as Morpheus. His voice is much kewler than Darth Vader's. The DVD is quite good. The movie presentation is high above average. The sound is excellent, boasting DD 5.1's capabilities. The extra's are quite good. Except for the commentary track. It's too boring and turns quiet frequently. What happened to Carrie-Ann Moss? You shouldn't pass on this disc. But considering the sales rank, I suppose you already haven't.
