Summary: It'll be a classic
Review: If you're the type of person who'd want excitement, then "The Matrix" is the one for you. It's got action, adventure, and heart-pounding entertainment. This thriller, as well as its sequals, tell one story: a futuristic world controlled by artificial intelligence, all depending on humans beings as their power source. To control our lives, these A.I. have created "The Matrix", an ultimate system which has created a computer generated world where we can live in. But while living in the seemingly real world of the Matrix, human beings are blindingling living a life that does not really exist, living a life without physical or mental freedom. But are human beings to be under the control of the Matrix? Only the so-called "One" can free humanity from the evil Matrix, but who is this "One"? In "The Matrix", Keanu Reeves and Lawrence Fishburne star as heroes trying to free mankind from the Matrix. Keanu Reeves is Neo, who, by day, works for a computer company, but by night, he's a computer hacker. Sitting by his seat and using the computer has led him to contact with Morpheus (Fishburne), an opponent of the Matrix. With the help of Trinity (Carrie-Ann Moss) Morpheus is able to free Neo from the Matrix. But is Neo the "One" who will free all humanity from the Matrix? "The Matrix" is a combination of karate, action, and sci-fi. It includes state-of-the-art special effects that will blow you away. This movie's depiction of the futuristic "real world" (our world) was both stunning and disturbing. Its action scenes were are wonderous to behold. The way Neo dodges bullets is a memorable scene. Its storyline is very catchy and interesting! Our world is actually a hoax? Whoa! Dodging bullets, running really fast, jumping really high, and doing impossible things? Cool! Overall, "The Matrix" is a fiml for movie lovers out there. This movie is a sci-fi classic.

Summary: The Matrix Is Close To Our So-Called Reality
Review: The Matrix is more real than we think. We are in short symbiotic creatures created by a higher being programmed to do one thing: to live and better ourselves to become divine-like beings. That is the purpose that we are exist in this earthly world. Just think about it for one second...Without purpose, we are just some mindless people that are roaming the earth to comsume up natural resources and enjoy our lives out meaninglessly. This very meaning, if think through thoroughly, can help us understand our existence. The Matrix is truly a masterpiece putting together to teach us one thing. The world is not shallow and one dimension. That our existence has a purpose that allows us to elevate to another higher dimension if we understand what life is all about. It is our decision to choose how to live it because we have free will. But when you realize what you can capable of become, you can be on higher level than everyone else and that makes you become the "One" -an anomaly. This then will help you see what many others can't see. They can only perceive through you but not what's in you. Take knowledge for example. People say, I quote, "Knowledge is power!" Power of self. Power of devine. Power of greatness.

Summary: 4.5
Review: THE MATRIX is the most popular film to come out in recent years and definitely the best since 1995's CASINO. It is the creation of The Wachowski Brothers who were, until this film, basically unheard of. That's changed a lot with this sci-fi/action/thriller masterpiece. THE MATRIX stars Keanu Reeves as Thomas Anderson, known to the computer world as Neo, a young computer hijacker who continues to receive messages on his computer from an unknown person involving a thing called 'The Matrix'. From there Neo is swept away from what we call reality - which turns out to be a computer-generated world created to keep us happy. What we think of as 1999 is actually closer to 2199 - and out of the "perfect world", it shows. The skies are black, the ground a desert, our cities crumbling (hmmm...sound familiar, i.e. THE TERMINATOR?) - and the world run by machines who create humans in fields. Woah. From the flawless special effects, the great cast, the action-packed screenplay, the commendable directing and the perfect choreography by martial arts master director Yuen Wo Ping, THE MATRIX is a non-stop thrill ride that is almost flawless. I should definitely recommend THE MATRIX to anyone looking for a good time. OVERALL: 4.5 [Masterpiece] out of 5 [Perfect]

Summary: Enter the Review
Review: I watched this movie because it had Elrond (Hugo Weaving), but then I found out it was good! aliens conquered the world and attached all of huminity into a computer. Some realized it was all fake and escaped. The agents (the computer's physical form) will stop at nothing to kill the escaped humans and to keep humanity. The hero, Neo, begins to realize he is destined to end the human/computer war. Humanity will risk everything to keep him, and the computer will stop at nothing to destroy him. The special effects are breathtaking. the people in general are somewhat interesting. Neo and agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) are the interesting ones. You should see it.

Summary: A lone star, as a reminder of what is real
Review: The mythical rise of the loner-as-hero which constitutes much of « The Matrix » has certainly attracted its share of reclusive techno-geek types, as the many twists in the plot might have rung a bell or two, encouraging strong identification with the main character ; but, ultimately, the movie carries little food for thought, apart from a bunch of cheapo socio-philosophical concepts thrown together to impress and flatter. The staged rebeliousness, the fight against the « system », the whole concept of the movie is a gigantic smokescreen, a Dr FeelGood sort of thing, that has proven able to keep millions of generous souls soundly asleep, as the world keeps running its reckless course, spinning out of control, like a toy in the hands of a bunch of kids, too stupid and selfish to even bother about anything else than their own amusement. True, the movie is an apt metaphor of our world. But who are the machines ? « them » or us ? « They » are truly human, after all : greedy, arrogant, and utterly senseless. On the other hand, we have become predictable clockwork mechanisms, rushing to get our share of stimuli. So, basically, we are being fed the stuff to keep us quiet. Don't be fooled by it : understand it for what it is. And remember, as Lenin said -and in that case he was quite right-, capitalists will sell us the rope to hang them. The Matrix, which is, for « them », only a money making machine, might well prove to be that rope, if only anyone could see it. Think about those execs summing up sales figures in their cosy offices. Think about that newly released second episode. You've read the raving reviews ; you've seen the crowds, eager to get their share of « action », desperate to know where the story goes ; you've witnessed friends and relatives, hopelessely addicted to sequels. Do you like it like that ? Do you really think you've discovered something ? What is « real » ? So, why not forget about the Wachowskis for a while, and read Chomsky. You should know better.

Summary: Future
Review: I think it was a good movie because it shows another point of life that computers are in control not the other way around.
It made me think about stuff I never thought about before. What if we create a computer that is smarter then us? The world could come to an end or we could become slaves to our creations. It was a good movie and I'm going to see the second.

Summary: Top-notch, standing all by itself
Review: I first went to see "The Matrix" at the theater in 1999, and at the point where Neo (Reeves) is taking his martial arts training with Morpheus (Fishburne), I decided that my mind was not in a condition that day to be blown, so I postponed watching the rest until a further date. My attention span must have improved since then, for now I see a fantastic movie, all the way through. The description of just what the Matrix is, while a bit lacking in solid technical details (what is "Bio-Energy"? what does "120 volts" have to do with power?), answers the question in a way that is disturbingly hard to deny. "Why not?," the open-minded may argue. Perhaps what we see is a literal presentation of the kind of backgrounding that is in fact already done on citizens and subjects of the world, through computer systems. The day that sentience finally arises in the non-living will certainly be enough to chill the souls of the humans who are responsible. It has all grown so complicated, that no one could really prevent such domination, if it had enough of its own will. The idea that the human is ultimately the better...entity...is shown by motifs like the use of martial arts ("I'm going to learn...Jiu Jitsu?").
If nothing else, we have one powerful metaphor for the way things "really work", which is at a variety of levels and a variety of motivations. Though reviews of the "Reloaded" sequel have been mixed, the original "Matrix" was one hard precedent to follow. It will be on my list of films I can watch, over and over.
