Summary: grossly overrated, pretentious eye candy
Review: what exactly is it that people see in this movie? it's just one more sci-fi/shoot em up flick in the long line of that sad tradition. far from the plot being all that fascinating or philosophical, anyone who attended college could have written this garbage up as the movie was shot. and who can actually take keanu reeves seriously?? during all that drivel about 'introducing a reality with no rules' or whatever, i just kept expecting him to break out and scream "gnarly dude!" the reason people rave about these kind of ridiculous, ephemeral (...) fests is because the rest of the movies out there are even worse and do not bother pretending (as this one does) to have substance. call me too artsy or cerebral, but i want more out of a movie than pointless shooting scenes and busty women, and i would really appreciate it if the director took me seriously enough to do something other than string me along with a sadly fake and laughable attempt at depth or meaning. it really is a sad state of affairs today:even blatantly obvious pretenders to the throne are superior to the norm. this movie does not even work as what it basically is, adolescent escapism. and escapism, contrary to what the majority think, can in fact be great and even substantive, when it is done the right way. anyone with a little bit of a brain must have been depressed but nonetheless slightly amused as they exited the theater after this atrocity mercifully ended and overheard the lively chat about how deep it was. many of my friends talk enthusiastically about what a profound comment on reality this nonsense is, and i agree in the sense that it drives home quite firmly the reality of everything that can go wrong with a movie. you can just see the directors of these things laughing to themselves privately as the bucks roll in and secretly wondering, "what idiot said that you can't fool all the people all the time?"

Summary: I went to see it expecting an action flick.
Review: What I *got* was something that, while it does have spectacular special effects, also actually has a *plot*. The last notable movie I'd seen in theaters was Titanic, so you can imagine that it came as pleasant suprise. There's an element of wish-fufillment (like movies wherein the bully gets beaten up) in Neo's sudden freedom. I loved the use of color, action, shadow, suspense...pretty much everything. Reeves turned in a startlingly good performance, and every straight guy and gay/bi girl I know declares that Carrie-Anne Moss is both hot and a good actress. Little details really perfect many of the scenes, and often it takes several times watching it to pick up on them. It's definitely a movie worth watching, even buying.

Summary: Best movie I have ever seen.
Review: What I had heard most about the matrix is it's awesome special effects. For this reason, I waited untill the DVD was released to watch it at home on my widescreen television with Definitive Tech. system. It was well worth the wait because everything I had heard about this movie was true. Not only were the special effects great but the storyline was also good. If you are thinking of getting this DVD, you are on the right track to getting a great collection.

Review: What I've recently found out is that the people that don't like this movie is mainly because they can't understand the deep plot and storyline involved with "The Matrix". Broaden your minds you all! This film has the most spectacular special effects ever seen in a motion picture, Lawrence Fishburne is perfect in his role as Morpheas, has awesome kung-fu fights, and of course slow-motion shoot outs. What else could a die-hard action movie fan possibly want! Even though this was really meant for us teenage people, some adults may find this to be an excellent Show. This probably the best DVD out there. Go buy it today!

Summary: WHAT IS THE MATRIX? AN AWESOME MOVIE!
Review: What if the world you live in is a dream, and you are never going to wake up??? That's the question posed by the Matrix, a film by The Wachowski Brothers. The film has a chilling plot, and lots of philosophy stuff. But, when our hero ( Keanu Reeves) gets into action, we are blown away with a slow- motion effect copied but never matched. The Matrix is the Ultimate adrenaline junkies film.

Summary: I SALUTE TO EVERYBODY OF THIS MOVIE!!! "VERY ENLIGHTENING !"
Review: WHAT IS REALITY? IF YOU ARE A STUDENT OF EASTERN RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY, THIS MOVIE IS QUITE A HELP TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS "MAYA" OR "MARA". I HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS MOVIE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND EVERY TIME I FIND THE ANSWER TO MISSING LINKS IN MY UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY. THE BEST SCENE IS WHEN NEO VISITS THE ORACLE AND SHE ACTUALLY TELLS THE TRUTH IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY WHICH LATER MORPHIUS CLARIFIES WITH NEO THAT YOU LISTEN TO WHAT YOU WANT TO LISTEN... AND EXACTLY IN THE SAME WAY YOU SEE AND UNDERSTAND IN THIS MOVIE WHAT YOU WANT TO.WHENEVER I AM RELAXED I PUT THIS MOVIE ON AND EVERYTIME I GET SOME INSIGHT.

Summary: One of the best sci-fi fantasy films I have seen.
Review: What is the Matrix? I wasn't quite sure what to expect the first time I saw The Matrix. It looked like it would yet another special-fx movie with a boring cast (Keanu Reeves) and no story. But was I pleasently surprised. Although I could still never refer to Keanu Reeves as talented actor at least I can say he has been in a movie worth shelling out $7.50 for at the theatre. The Matrix gave me a new perspective on society. In many ways we too live in a matrix--a future that is decided for us from the day we are born. It makes you wonder if what we see and do is real or maybe we are living in a dream world. It shows just exactly what can happen once you become to dependent on your own creations. Now that's a scary thought--you invent a machine to do your chores and it instead revolts against you and takes over the world. It proves that ignorance is bliss, but that if you really want to enjoy your life you need to learn new things everyday. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone.

Summary: matrix a movie a science
Review: What is the Matrix? That's the question everyone's looking to answer in this sci-fi spectacular from Wachowski brothers. One thing it was -- groundbreaking both in the spectacular special effects that we've since taken for granted.
Computer hacker extraordinaire Neo (Reeves) has this gut feeling that life isn't all that it seems to be. Turns out he's right in a big way. A group of revolutionaries led by the thought to be mythical Morpheus (Fisburne) open his eyes to the Matrix.
The Matrix, it turns out, is nothing more than an elaborate computer generated reality intended to mollify humanity who are in reality nothing more than sheep or in this case a renewable energy source, to feed the machines that have inherited the Earth.
Morpheus believes Neo is "The One", a prophesized savior who can bend the Matrix to his own will who will eventually lead humanity out of slavery.

Review: What is the matrix? Well let me tell you it's one heck of a movie. I saw this on DVD and I was blown away. It was beter than the theater. The sound, intense graphics and picture quality was all too much. This movie, to me, is one of the best action and sci fi movies ever made. With a stunning story line every time you go to sleep you will think if you will wake up in a different world.
