Summary: Enjoy The Matrix... Until You Unplug...
Review: This is an exceptional film, full of action, suspense, mystical philosophy and symbolism. The story is set in a sci-fi future where AI machines have taken over the world and plugged biological humans into the Matrix, where they experience an illusory reality while their body serves as a battery/energy source for the machines. "Neo" Anderson ("One" "Son of Man"), played smoothly by K. Reeves is contacted via hacking of the Matrix by a group of renegade humans who have been able to hide from the machines and escape enslavement while they prepare for the "One" expected to lead humanity to freedom. Adventure ensues when Neo is unplugged and joins the freedom fighters. This story is a wonderful allegory for human existence and civilization, and the film has excellent effects, solid acting, and an impressive script for a movie of this genre. The DVD has cool bonus features and is a must for those seeking subtle symbolism and other nuances of the film.

Summary: What More Can I Add?
Review: As far as fans are concerned, there's nothing more to add with this review. And as far as the critics are concerned, nothing I can say will change their minds. So I post this review only to add another 5-star rating, hoping to boost the average.

Summary: This movie couldn't be better
Review: The Matrix is a very good movie. Some people said it was confusing and hard to understand, but I didn't find it confusing at all. It is the story of Thomas Anderson also known as Neo. I can't explain the story because you have to see it for yourself, but it is not as complicated as you think. The visual effects are ground-breaking and are gonna be imitate by every action movie in the future. The Matrix is better than his sequel The Matrix Reloaded, who has less story, but more action. The DVD has some cool extras, but buy it, at least for the movie.

Summary: Unique and amazing visuals!
Review: I didn't know what to expect going in to this movie. I had heard lots of good things about it, but most people couldn't explain the storyline in a way I could understand. I finally saw it and was just blown away by the first scene alone (maybe I am easily entertained?). The Trinity fight scene in the beginning is just a great start to a fantastic movie. The storyline is intriguing, though it's difficult to understand completely the first time. I've since seen the movie several times and finally understand it better. The visual effects are incredible, especially with the creation of "bullet-time." The DVD is pretty good, though I haven't checked out most of the special features yet. Well worth buying, IMHO!

Summary: Unclear Motive
Review: One of the reasons given for the war against "the agents" and their matrix, is the survival of "Zion". But Zion appears to be nothing more than a dark and filthy hole in the Earth-- definitely not worth fighting for. An interesting film with dazzling special effects, though.

Summary: Ying, Yang and Bang Bang
Review: The only reason I went to see this movie was to see the Episode One trailer that had been advertised in it newspaper being sh own with this movie and I was so impressed with it that the Episode One trailer took a backseat to my excitement!
I'm sure everything that I like about this has been said before and I could not think of a better film to recommend to someone. It has something for everyone. As for extras, this one is a bit light compared to the Electronic Press Kits that are standard fare these days, but this DVD was released at a time where DVD's weren't that popular and were still outsold by VHS. In fact I think I remember reading somewhere that this is the first DVD to sell over a million units!
I think a director's commentary would have been a great tool to help get around the philosophy of the film instead we have the effects guy and Bulletime(TM) creator John Gadea and Joel Silver and Carrie Ann Moss providing some insight but it's intermittent and can really be distracting sometimes

Summary: A Stunning Visual Spectacle
Review: The Matrix was the most popular R-rated film when it came out in the theaters, and it has reason to be so. Obviously the most stand-out feature of this film is the special effects, which are flaunted from stem to stern. Awesome jumps over highways, lengthy shoot-outs in pillared rooms, and martial arts combat with a sentient program, this film has it all.
Keanu Reeves as Thomas A. Anderson AKA Neo is in his element in this film, and he comes off very well with his sunglasses and ankle-length leather jacket concealing a veritable arsenal of rapid-fire weaponry. Carrie-Ann Moss as Trinity gives a good screen presence, and pulls off a tough-tender mix in her character--there is a vast difference between her ferocious karate chops at the beginning of the film and her loving words to Neo close to the end. Laurence Fishburne is very good as Morpheus, even though he is in manacles for a good part of the film.
Then there is Hugo Weaving. This masterful actor can convulse the audience with his drawn-out speech and delliberate movements, or he can have them pitying and encouraging Neo as he hurls the good guy into walls and pummels him with super fast fists.
The Wachowski brothers, the directors and writers of the film, handle it well with good camera angles and a fine screenplay.
For those searching for thrills and a heavy slant toward visual effects, this is a good movie to look into.
