Summary: What is the Matrix?
Review: Keanu Reeves' now signiture role is introduced in this soon to be trilogy movie. This was more acclaimed for it's special effects than confusing storyline.
Still the DVD is full of information and had to be supplimented with The Matrix: Revisited, DVD in 2000.
Now that the series is finished for now, a large box set containing all three movies and extra discs wouldn't go amiss.

Summary: Perhaps the Most Overrated Film of All Time
Review: Almost all style and almost no substance.

Summary: WONDERFUL!
Review: I love it when writers, producers, and directors dare to go outside the box and make a film that is unlike anything we have ever seen. I dreaded not going to see this in theaters. I waited until the DVD came out to rent it. This is such a good movie. It is almost hard to review because there is little to say about it, it is just good. I do warn people, that don't like movies that are hard to follow to maybe not see this move. You have to be very attentitive when watching this film. You cannot take your eyes off of it. All in all the movie is unlike anything that has ever been on celluloid. One of the better films of 1999.

Summary: Great Movie! Why is it R tho?
Review: This is one of the best movies of all time. But would someone please tell me why it is rated R. The thing on the box says "sci fi violence and brief language", sorry i missed the language. I have seen worse violence in many PG 13 movies.

Summary: FX movie with no plot
Review: Theres no denieing the fact that somebody came up with a few new speichel effects and decided to quickly rush them into a movie. Apart from the effects which have been copeied and done to death so many times since this movie, this movie has absolutly no plot, no intrest, no point, and if this movie did not have the SFX shots that it does, no body would even have known what this movie was, except for the Keenu Reeve fans.Purchase all 3 if you want to see some stunning visual FX but all based around a completly pointless, or, IF ANY plot at all. If the movie had plot ideas, it could have been somthing, but its highly given credit to, when every one cant denie its just the SFX that people are stunned by, not the plot.... watch the intro to that Olsen twins show if you wanna see the SFX from this movie! Bottem line; Take away the FX, you have a bad movie!

Summary: One of the best/original movies I have seen in a long time!
Review: Now that all 3 movies in the Trilogy are out. I will review each one. This Matrix is the first installment in the Matrix trilogy. It focuses on Thomas Anderson aka NEO. Neo is a software developer by day, computer hacker by night. He knows that there is something wrong with the world but can't quite figure out what it is. When he meets Morpheus he decides he wants to know what the Matrix really is. After Neo finds out he does not believe his eyes. Towards the middle of the movie, NEO finally comes to grips that the Matrix is just a computer program that humans are plugged into while the machines live off of them. After knowing this NEO slowly discovers that he can do superhuman things while in the Matrix because the Matrix world is not "real". Many of you already seen the movie so there is no need for me to go into much more detail about the plot. But I will say that this is one of the best movies I have seen in a long long time. After figuring out what the Matrix really was, I was blown away by the original storyline, and I began to think to myself "what if the world I'm living in is like the Matrix?" I have seen this movie at least 20 times, and I never get tired of it. The speical effects and fighting scenes are nothing short of spectatcular. This is a must have title for your collection. I can't believe anyone would give this movie anything less than 4 stars. Its not your average movie and it does require some thinking to see what is actually going on. If one does not really understand the storyline, then they will write this movie off as another action flick when in reality this movie goes so much deeper. 5 stars in my book!

Summary: Illussory Material World: the Matrix
Review: In the Matrix world, people live lives of virtual reality of materialism. In grealh reality, you are one of the generatorfs cell dreaming everything but having nothing material.
People are grown and when their bodies come to generate nothing e.g. die, are simply disposed of. It can be said that the management is perfectly rational and, may be some people would say; gWhy not?h, like Cypher did. After all, many people do not even know they live and die in the matrix world as something (not a human being) that the Matrix can use at its disposal. So, why should they not keep dozing in the virtual-material world? Now, what I believe is that we are born to this irrational, unequal and can-be-very-violent world in order to make our souls better, lighter and shinier ones.
So, one question here is: can you discipline your soul in the Matrixfs virtual reality? I believe the answer is gNoh.
That is why the gawakenedh should help people get themselves out of the Matrix and fight back against its invincible power, even though gawakeningh from the dream world of the Matrix means to re-born into the shabby and hopeless, thus, can-be-so-depressing real world. The good news is that: if you realize that there is actually no material world around you, you can release yourself from the physical rules of the Matrix world and can change gvirtuallyh everything with your free-will and, therefore, can live in freedom in spiritual sense. In the film gthe Matrixh it is only gthe Oneh who can do that, but, I think, everyone may have the potential to be Neo. Release yourself from the Matrix of your bodily limitations. Be Neo. Be free. Then all sufferings and agony will be gone ferever.

Summary: Good, but if you want to read the book,
Review: try Berkeley, descartes, Hume, the bible(that's just the beginning). I'm not saying i agree with all those philsophers. i'm jsut saying thats where wachowski's got the ideas abotu reality. I wonder if the matrix had philosphers conjecturing about reality. I wonder if there was a matrix like movie in the matrix. I guess we'll never know the answer to these and other questions...

Summary: GOOD MOVIE, RENT THIS
Review: What is this movie but a bunch of elves, dwarfs and fairys running around and killing each other over a wedding ring? It's all bad acting from the word go, and the music can't hype up what the story lacks. I have a theory on why people love these movies; they feel that because the directors and actors and writers try so hard to make an "Epic Saga of Biblical Proportions," that they (the movie-goers), must give the film makers positive reviews just for the effort. I am different. I will not give good reviews to a movie just because it's ten billion hours long. Good is good, fairyish is fairyish and my time is too important, as is yours, to be wasted on this midevil drivle. And now I will cast a spell. I call it the "I'm to influenced by movie advertising and special effects to think for myself spell." See, it's already working. Now go out and see the whole trilogy, fairy.
