Summary: Awesome From Beginning To End!!!
Review: This has to be one of the most exciting sci-fi action flicks I have ever seen!! What made it so great was the fact that the actors trained before filming the movie. The storyline made you think, and with the 2+ hours the movie lasted, it didn't drag one bit. I can't wait for the DVD version and all the extras.

Review: MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE MATRIX:"Whoa." What would you say if computers controlled you? What would you say if you could defy gravity? What would you say if your life was a computer simulation? Yes, that's right. "The Matrix" is a long, intense roller coaster ride into the future. What our world is today is a dream world, and The Matrix is the real world. Keanu Reeves is Neo, who is chosen by the head of a group, Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne). What Morpheus tells Neo is confusing at first, but at a part where Neo meets someone called The Oracle tells him something. I won't tell you what; you have to see it for yourself. The movie doesn't really tell you what The Matrix is directly, but gives you an implication of what might control the human race in the future. Technologists think that something called Artificial Intelligence (or AI for short) will control the way of life, and that is what this movie is all about. As computers grow stronger, and, what I like to think, more intelligent, the human race dies down and gets "sucked" into them. The very Internet that you read this on would be nothing compared what it might be in 1000 years. A Pentium Processor MCMXCVIII, that makes the picture on your computer pop out into reality? Create an artificial world? What you believe about the future is the key of life. THE REVIEW: "The Matrix" is not one of those ordinary action films...terrorist threatens, guy saves whatever or whoever is in danger, or those "Save the [Insert Subject Here]" type things (Well, maybe it is a little like saving the world). But is very different. That's why it got 4 1/2 out of five. An ordinary guy, Thomas "Neo" Anderson (Keanu Reeves) is picked out by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), the head of a team that tries to overthrow an evil Matrix to save the new one. The special effects are great. (I don't know if "Flo-Mo" is trademarked by the Wachowski brothers or not) What I mean by "Flo-Mo" is the so-called "Bullet Time" sequence, where Neo dodges bullets. Also, I can't imagine the vigorous training that went into performing the Kung Fu and other karate moves. This is the first movie of its kind that the REAL actors do their own moves. This movie should be a big hit across the Pacific. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss (Trinity) were a great pair-up for this movie. It is hard to explain the movie in a review, because there isn't anything to review other than the theme of the story, but it was good. It is probably the best science fiction movie I've seen. The movie is based on playing a game on the computer, about virtual reality. So, what is The Matrix? I can sum it up in 2 words: SEE IT (and buy it on DVD September 21st!).

Summary: Keanu is hot, the movie is hotter, I'm sweating already!
Review: Keanu is hot in The Matrix! All those rumors about him being fat were unfounded -- or else he lost the weight. Check out the bug in the abs scene! Yum! Lots of fun in a funky wrinkle-in-the-time-space-continuum way. Carrie Anne Moss looks like Lara Flynn Boyle, though. Hmm, three names -- coincidence? We think not! Filmed in Sydney, though they make it look like Chicago, but no deep dish pizza or Oprah. Highly recommended!

Review: The Matrix is so cool, you'll be remembering things about it for days. What's reality, and what's invention? You'll never know for sure.

Summary: suckfest
Review: Keanu dons a black trench and sunglasses to battle evil robots from the future with super-slow-mo kung-fu action and gunz blazin. Big whoop.

Summary: Great Sci-Fi Adventure
Review: This is one of my favorite sci-fi movies ever. Whel the Matrix Revolutions may be better than this, that does not mean that the original one is no good. In fact, I really go nuts over it. I like the story, too: a young software technician named Neo gets a visit from mysterious woman named Trinity who he embarks and an action journey with. Should have won fifteen Oscars.

Summary: Reality? You can't handle reality!
Review: Ever wanted to be important, to live a life that matters? Well take a look at "The Matrix" because it starts with the premise that we are all living pointless lives, slaves to frighteningly powerful beings that prevent everyone from knowing their true state. Here enters the myth. There will come a redeemer, who will see through all deception and become the perfect warrior in mankind's cause. He will be the "ONE".
I don't know what possessed the Wachowski brothers to turn a borderline successful comic book idea into a sixty million dollar extravaganza. But WOW! I'm so glad they did. Talk about entertainment, this film keeps your butt firmly on the edge of your seat and your jaw on the floor. The action is intense, the plot is multi-layered and the effects are sumptuous. I should also point out that for a cast that knows little about martial arts, (a few months training prior to the filming), they sure can fake it. You will believe a man can fly.
Science fiction has explored the implications of virtual reality fairly thoroughly over the past two decades. From Steven Lisberger's "Tron" to Star Trek's "Holo Deck", we're well versed on the idea that the virtual will some day rival the actual. With The Matrix however, it is all brought together into a frightening whole. At times you will wonder about your own reality... what if?
But then, we don't need to wonder, because it's laid out clear and sharp on the big screen. Imagine a world were the entire population lives in jelly filled pods, jacked into a simulation as real as God's imagination. Except for a few "naturals", who have either been born outside of the Matrix or brought out, the populous goes about their angst filled lives, little knowing how pointless it all is. Talk about an existentialist's wet dream. But what of those non-conformists on the outside?
We meet them through Neo, a corporate neophyte and part time hacker. The powers-that-be have turned their attention to young Neo, (Keanu Reeves), not for his illegal computer hobbies but because the mysterious Morpheus, leader of the underground, has shown an interest in him. Thus commences Neo's fall into wonderland and as with Alice, there are strange creatures, confusing situations and rulers who seem keen to take his head.
Dragged kicking and screaming out of the Matrix and into the real world, Neo learns the truth and finds he now has the responsibility of saving the world, thrust on his sculpted shoulders. He's not alone though, Morpheus and the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar (a strange and futuristic vessel that is their real world home), are just as keen to reclaim the planet. Morpheous becomes Neo's mentor, teaching him the skills he needs to do battle with the master machines. Their evil face is expressed within the Matrix in the form of seemingly invulnerable Agents. And all Neo has to do, is the impossible... with a little love on the side. Perfect!

Summary: Instant bliss!
Review: For movies, the cyberpunk/virtual reality genre clearly didn't work. Keanu Reeves had already tried it with "Johnny Mnemonic" and - admit it - failed miserably.
In 1999, seemingly from out of nowhere, comes "The Matrix". Neo (Reeves) discovers that humanity's everyday world is in fact a computerised virtual reality, known only as "The Matrix". The search for answers takes Neo to Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) who leads a group of guerilla fighters into a furious battle for freedom! Dazzling special effects, an intriguing story and spectacular action sequences make for a unique experience. You have never - and I mean NEVER - seen anything like this before! I feel I must especially mention Hugo Weaving for his excellent portrayal of the sinister Agent Smith. I don't think I've seen many villains in films that have impressed me more. The Matrix is no longer just a movie. It has become a phenomenon. A wonderful piece of cinematic work that you just can't afford to miss!
