Summary: I'll Review the VHS
Review: I can be a technological dinosaur.The dvd was great, and a previous reviewer already went into the special features. No complaints here. The VHS... Overall, it was a great companion to the movie. It features interviews with Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Yuen Wo Ping, Bill Pope, the Wachowskis, Joel Silver, Kym Barrett, Barrie Osborne, John Gaeta, etc.; artwork, storyboards, behind-the-scenes footage, etc. Though it misses the ease of navigation of the dvd, it stands alone quite well.

Summary: Great behind the scenes look at the Matrix!
Review: I hesitated getting this DVD because I already own the movie's DVD which already has behind the scenes specials. The additional material on the DVD, however, was definately worth it. It was great to see and hear all the principal actors and creators reviewing the making of the original Matrix. There's quite a bit more detail on the martial arts training and filming, as well as on the visual effects. I only wish there was a gag real included, but you can't have it all. If you liked the Matrix at all, you'll really enjoy this DVD.

Summary: Fantastic supplement to Matrix
Review: I love "Behind the Scenes" footage, and this DVD met my expectations. It really goes down into HOW they made the movie; they cover the training, the journey to Australia for filiming The Matrix, visual effects, sound effects. One really interesting feature was the bullet cameras, which is very, very new in Hollywood. Hundreds of cameras take still pictures (making it slow motion) while another swivels around. I hadn't realized the effort it took to film, say, Trinity's kick in the beginning of The Matrix, or Neo dodging bullets. There are also several interviews with the actors themselves (Fishburne, Moss, Reeves, and Weaving-- in his own Australian accent, which I've never heard before.) and the directors, how they came up with this concept. I really think this is worth watching.

Summary: It's a "The Making of the Matrix" DVD"
Review: I originally thought that this DVD would include "The Matrix" movie and have additional commentary along with the scenes as an option. Actually this is what would normally be referred to as the second DVD in a collectors edition DVD set. This DVD should be labeled as "THE MAKING OF THE MATRIX" and in my opinion not worth what is being charged. If your a film buff or are just a Matrix Junky, then this is for you. If you are expecting more than a just another "The Making Of" DVD with a few ad's for the upcoming parts of the trilogy, then forget it. Save your money. It's worth a few bucks, but it's not worth the as much as would be normally charged for the movie itself.

Summary: Excellent - a Matrix fix which was long overdue!
Review: I was glad to see some hints and teases for the upcoming sequels! The DVD claims to have "hidden features." These are either very well hidden or not hidden at all. Regardless, it is worth every penny.

Summary: Best behind the scenes documentary
Review: I was hesitant to buy this DVD; I felt that the studio should have placed the material on a Matrix Special Edition DVD instead. But now I am so glad that I bought it! This is a 2-hour documentary on the making of the first film, with a few tidbits about the next 2 films. It's the best, most extensive behind-the-scenes film I've ever watched. It covers the making of the film from pre-production to principal photography to post production. There's a lot of coverage on how the actors trained for the martial arts scenes in the film, really grueling training. If you're into this type of material, it's worth buying. There are extensive interviews with the four main actors. Best of all, you can see the original fight scenes as played out by the Asian stunt team and compare this to the filmed sequences with the actors.

Summary: NOOOOOOT BAAAAD!
Review: If you're a fan of the hit movie "THE MATRIX" you have GOT to own this DVD. It goes even deeper down the rabbit hole than ever thought imaginable to give us an insight of the inner working of the brothers Wachowski's brain. These two fine fellows have a magical way of bringing their ideas to reality and I take my hat off to them. The enthusiasm they generate rubs off on all the cast and crew and I wait with bated breath for the next two Matrix movies. This is going to be the trilogy to top all trilogies. I love getting all the background information ~ conceptual, musical, editorial, graphical and the makers of The Matrix have outdone themselves with providing everything the avid fan wants and they also dangle the carrot before our eyes with what's to come. The cast went through "merry" hell to deliver the goods on this movie and KUDOS to you, especially Keanu Reeves who for most of the time was recovering from neck surgery. I agree with all and sundry and this film should have got more Oscar nods, but let's hope that The Academy do not fail next time to give credit to whom it is long overdue for the amazing piece of filmaking that is The Matrix. I would also add that I am very pleased that they included what the fans are saying because this film has generated fandom as never before. I would have liked to have been involved more with the international get together's and friendship this movie has made for the fans out there. Congratulations to "KYOTE", "KIRA", "AKS" and "LUCID DREAM" for getting their perspective out there. VERY WELL DONE!!

Summary: A perfect companion peice to a remarkable film.
Review: In, 1999 one of the most critically hailed sci fi films was
brought to life from the Washowski brothers, just like Star Wars
it was a groundbreaking and landmark film it was (The Matrix)and
it was awarded with 5 oscars,unheard of for any sci fi film but
the Washowski brothers did it and now almost two years later it
has it's very own fan following and even has been shown at some
theatres around the world at 12 midnight and has a highly and
anticipated sequel due out in 2002 and yet another film is in
the works.The producer and directors have answerd their fans
and the many who loved the groundbreaking film and have put out
this worthwhile supplemental to accompany the film that takes a
behind the scenes look at every aspect of the film from start
to finish and beyond.A look at the martial arts and website as
well as some hidden features such as charachter profiles and
a party mix of the DVD music , so as your waiting patiently
for the sequal this is worth it to pick up and you will have
plenty on The Matrix till then and find out what The Matrix is.
