Summary: matrix rocks!
Review: "The Matrix" is a very good movie, with a good plot and X-tremly cool special effects. I swear who ever thought of this plot is a genius! I thought that i wouldn't be interested in "The Matrix", because i wasn't a computer person. I WAS SO WRONG! Keanu Reeves puts on a proformance of a life time! And the whole thing was terific! Now that i have seen it, when ever one of my friends asks me what movie they should rent, the first movie that comes to my head is "Matrix"! I suggest this movie to ANYONE! Especially anyone who LOVES Keanu Reeves! (like myself!) if you want to see an action packed movie full of kick A#$ special effects, get "The Martrix" and you will be so glad that you did!

Summary: Liked the movie? You'll LOVE the DVD!
Review: "The Matrix" is destined to join that pantheon of cult classic Sci-Fi movies, like Blade Runner and Tron. The story, to non-SciFi fans, is probably predictable and weak. But the environment created to tell the story is very deep. With two, count 'em -- two, sequels in the works, you better get this excellent DVD (it's got lots of extras) so you're up on the story before the next one comes out! enjoy!

Summary: Great Movie!
Review: "The Matrix" is one of the best movies I have ever watched! Keanu Reeves is one of the main characters and does a great job in this movie. He leads a double life of being a computer programmer and master hacker, but finally finds his true lot in life when he finds out he is in control of not only his future, but the "matrix", which controls humanity. This movie relates to a higher power and that everything has to be controlled by someone to make the world a livable place to be in. "The Matrix" at times may seem to be a very serious movie, but there are times when it is funny too. I would recommend this movie to adults, because for younger childeren they might not get the plot and follow the movie as easily as older people do. You will find that there is some violence, but I guess it is average to the rest of any other movie.

Summary: Dazzling!
Review: "The Matrix" is one of the most dazzling and spectacular films ever made! It never slows down and has a fantastic visual style few films have shown this season. The screenplay serves only as a base for the action sequences. In fact, you could say that the only reason there is a script, is so the action scenes can make sense. But "The Matrix" manages to keep afloat an interesting plot and still present some stylish, breathtaking action scenes. "The Matrix" is the type of film you can watch without having to pay attention to the story. I had total, complete fun during this movie from beginning to end. This is a groundbreaking work in special effects. Like "Spawn," "The Matrix" can best be seen as an experimental art film. It's also quite original and has some strange yet interesting characters. This is a masterpiece in visual filmmaking.

Summary: "Subconscious Nonexistance"
Review: "The Matrix" is one of the weirdest movies that I have ever seen, by a country mile. A good bit of it is believable, but not when Neo gets shot twelve times and is alive just because some girl kisses him. This hit asks the question "Gee, are we living a life every day that is a part of our imagination? Gee, are our REAL bodies in a deserted cell, lying motionless like a catatonic patient?" The special effects are especially good, but having the same gun-toting quackers in expensive suits with handguns make this more like a lost effort. Parts of the science of this are interesting like the spoon(it bended, Keanu didn't balance it on his nose), but it shows Keanu and Lawrence in something that appears to be a fight with the mind, himself, it doesn't intrigue me or make much sense to me. Keanu, the only movie that you actually acted in was "The Devils Advocate". This movie is as overrated as Alexei Kovalev and the end of it...well, there really isn't an end after the phone is hung up. The proposterous question isn't answered and everyone just walks away from it.

Summary: What is "The Matrix"? A cool movie.
Review: "The Matrix" is the most exciting and original science fiction action adventure in years. Ranking up there with classics like the two "Terminators", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and the "Star Wars Trilogy", "The Matrix" is an ambitious blend of sci-fi themes and thrilling action. Like "Terminator", and "Star Wars" years before, "The Matrix" has raised the standard for this kind of entertainment for the next decade.The story is bizarre. It begins with a lone computer hacker played by Keanu Reeves who calls himself "Neo" and has uncovered a secret that affects the entire human race. From there his adventure begins as a mysterious figure played by Laurence Fishburne in top form, shows Neo what the world really is. Neo faces challenges from sinister agents who are determined to stop him and his new friends. This is where much of the great action comes from. Not only abundant but inventive and stylish as well, the action sequences are a major signature in this film and will be copied for years to come, and already have in such big films as "Mission:Impossilbe II". There are themes in "The Matrix" which are deeper than your usual sci-fi fare and even some similarities with the themes in "Terminator" and "StarWars". There is a hero who is conflicted with his two destinies and a post apocalyptic world ran by machines, sound familiar? This kind of subject matter can't adequately be resolved in a two-hour film, at least not well. So "The Matrix" is really a promise of great things to come and seeing that two sequels are being planned we don't have too long to wait.

Summary: Simply terrific!
Review: "The Matrix" is the most wonderful film I have ever seen, (even better than "Dark City" and the "City of Lost Children"). Keanu Reeves and Lawrence Fishburne are superbly cast; furthermore, I love the multi-ethnic ensemble. I'm tired of movies where everyone is all one color(?).

Summary: "The Matrix" scores with great action.
Review: "The Matrix" may not be a realistic venture into the future but it's a good ride. The fast non-stop action seems to come at you from all different angles. "The Matrix" is a breakthrough on how action films will be made. Incorporating new camera techniques and experimenting with visuals and editing. Most people that wouldn't enjoy the fast-paced story are stuck in Hollywood's past. After snatching four Academy Awards (editing, sound, visual effects and visual effects editing) you'd only hope that types of pictures like this continue to push the envelope.

Summary: Free your mind...
Review: "The Matrix" was a real sleeper hit of 1999. It is one of the few movies which incorporate a large amount of computer generated special effects and have them play a major role in the plot. Most movies with lots of computer help just have the special effects in the movie, but they are unnecessary. This film needs all the effects it has to make the story believeable. The movie tells us of a man named Neo(Keanu Reeves) who works at a software company (when he gets up on time), and does lots of illicit computer hacking work off the clock. He has been searching for a seemingly mythical figure named Morpheus. Through a series of strange events, Morpheus(Lawrence Fishburne) contacts Neo and brings him to a meeting with the help of the leather clad Trinity(Carrie-Anne Moss). At this meeting, Morpheus drops a complete bomb on Neo- that his life as he has known it means nothing. The world is actually controlled by machines who use human infants like batteries, absorbing the body heat for power. The computers invented an imaginary "Matrix" for the humans to live in, which is the world we now inhabit. Because we are so comfortable here, we don't try to break out and get away from the control of these machines. Morpheus and his select crew of assistants on his ship are fighting against the machines in the real world, which has no sunlight and has suffered mass destruction from the numerous battles over the years. Neo has to make a decision whether to join the battle or to go back to the blissful ignorance of the Matrix. The special effects in the movie are great and are well used. The fighting sequences and the jump sequences when the camera spins 360 degrees around the person are really cool. There is a scene where someone in the group has to be rescued from the Agents(machines in human form in the Matrix) and the effects of the gunfire and destruction are some of the best you will see. The film would suffer without the fantastic computer visual effects it has. Interesting, how much this movie references Christianity and the Bible. The last human city is called Zion, the character Trinity is a reference to the holy trinity, the character Neo is obviously patterned after Jesus Christ, as the one saviour of the world. How about Morpheus's ship being called the Nebukadnezzar, after the king in the bible? There is even a Judas type figure who betrays the whole group. In general, the Matrix is a very slick sci-fi thriller with lots of action, a cool storyline, and lots of effects which are real fun. The sequels (one of which I have seen and one I have not) simply can't match up to this. I recommend this film for any action fan's shelf.
