Summary: This movie is a total rush!
Review: When I left the theater after seeing this movie, I was on an incredible high. My adrenaline was coarsing through my veins. I felt like I could have lifted my truck off the ground if I had wanted to. <g> I couldn't believe that a mere movie could make me feel this way. The Matrix was awesome. The fight scenes were INTENSE and the Japanese-influenced point of view wide shots were way cool. I was really excited to see that it was coming out on DVD a few months back, and I actually preordered it, which I've never done before with anything else. I can't wait to see it again!

Summary: This is one of the best movies I have ever seen!!!
Review: When I rented this movie it looked like a Star Wars type of movie I was wrong. It had the visual effects but ten times better. It had the coolest plot it might sound like a nerd movie but is defently not.

Summary: Wow, the best movie!!
Review: When I saw the advertising trailers in the tv channels I thought.."A stupid action movie again" But when EVERY friend of mine told that this cyber buddha story is a must see, the best movie of the 90s, I went, and it was extremely exciting, serius, spectacular. I suppose to have one, because I saw it 5 times, and the movie tickets are expensive! :)

Summary: But¿ it is REAL!
Review: When I saw the previews of this film I thought "Another sci-fi film" But when I finally saw it, I had to drop my jaw: It was as if they had adapted one of the last chapters in the last book by Carlos Castaneda. He states that such a situation as we see on the film is HAPPENING NOW! Of course not by robots but by some creatures he calls "flyers" which give us their mind. I saw the film only 5 times. I wish I could have done it more times

Summary: Very good but ...
Review: When I saw the trailer I immediately wanted to see this movie ... and I wasn't disappointed ! The special effects are so great, and the cast is good ! But the reason why I don't give a 5 stars rate is that I think the whole idea of the movie has already been seen in Alex Proyas movie "Dark City"! But still, "The Matrix" is a movie to be seen ! And I wish there were more films like that !

Summary: reminded me of mangas movies...it's great!
Review: When I saw this film for the first time, I knew I had to see it another time. The action is breathtaking, you can't even keep up with it. It's a breakthru technology in film making, and i think that movies should be made this way from now on. The idea, the mood, the action scenes..all reminded me of mangas cartoons, akira and the others, with the futuristic, mindblowing story... Great movie!

Summary: "Star Wars" of our generation
Review: When I saw this film some while back, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect nearly what I got. I thought Keanu would be doing the "Bill and Ted" thing, and I expected the plot to be nothing more than two hours of music video montage. I was wrong.

Keanu was good. He didn't play a typical role for him. Usually he's either the clear-cut razor-sharp hero or the mushy romantic. In this film he is the reluctant hero, which he played very well. He lost some weight for the role and is quite skinny. Overall I was very pleased with Keanu's performance and I look forward to him coming out with some other good films. Otherwise, the acting was superb from Fishbourne and others.

The story is wonderful. It's well thought out, intriguing, timely, original, and is not the least bit porous. It has left me waiting impatiently for the next in the series.

This movie broke all paradigms with special effects. They actually invented new technology to meet the needs of filming. You will see things that you have never seen before.

The DVD itself is remarkable. There are numerous bonus features contained on the disk, making it a very worthwhile purchase.

Lastly, I called this film the "Star Wars" of our generation. I believe this for several reasons. Like "Star Wars", "The Matrix" wowed us with new technology and a complex storyline that makes you believe that these characters and their world are real. The trilogy aspect is also recognizant of SW, and of course the religious undertones of both films are there if you look. Finally, SW was released when America was excited about space travel and exploration - it was timely. Similarly, "The Matrix" is released during a time of interest in the computer age, specifically artificial intelligence.

This is a DVD that you must buy. It will be a classic twenty years from now.

Summary: The best action movie ever made
Review: When I saw this in the theatre, I found I was hardly able to breathe through the whole movie. The plot is fantastic, the action sequences some of the most impressive ever put on film...

The DVD only gets better, with commentary by the director, commentary by the composer, and many short features on making different parts of The Matrix including a short documetary on making the "camera rotating around a subject" efffects that clearly shows how they are done and also does a great job of explaining the implications of just what such a filming technique can mean to a producer.

This isn't just the movie to buy a DVD player for. This is the movie that will make me buy a second player just in case the first one breaks down, and prevents me from a moment when I might be without The Matrix.

Summary: Mind blowing sci-fi action
Review: When i saw this in theaters i was blown away. this is one of the most inovative movies of any genre to come out in years. The Wachoskis are a talent to keep an eye on, they do a great job directing this masterpiece. The story contains many allusions to Jesus and Buddha and all that which is cool. In addition i liked the whole "what is reality" type theme. If u know anything about Eastern religion u know where they got that whole idea. As for Keanu, this is the role he was born to play for chris sake!! He does not have to talk and he looks good while kicking and shooting all the bad guys. The action is obviosly Hong Kong borrowed. IN intereviews the Wachoskies say they look Jet LI and John WOo movies, and when u watch the lobby shootout and the martial arts it shows. By the way, the action scenes, especially a jaw-dropping lobby shootout, are visually stunning!! This movie is brilliant and can be watched thousands of times. THE VE IS AMAZING!!
