Summary: Take Another's Point of View
Review: The Wachowski Brothers did a terrific job in making a film about such a topic not usually discussed: the realness of reality. The special effects are mind boggling, including a new technique known as "Bullet-Time". Invented for the Matrix specifically by a genius of a man by the name of Mr. Gaeta. A movie that will have you thinking all week about the realness of your spouse, your job, your car, the food you eat, and your friends. A must see for deep-thinkers.

Summary: The Best New Age Of The World Of Science Fiction.
Review: The Wachowski Brothers doing a great job writting and directing this film. Visual Effects is superb, Keanu Reeves does impressive job in this film and his moves also, the same for Laurence Fishburne, Carrie Anne Moss and Hugo weaving. The Plot is new and it something never have in film history and it the best new thing on visual effects also since Terminator 2 and The Abyss. It also a new old Science Fiction Theme, it will always be remember.

Summary: Groundbreaking and Entertaining-Was it an Illusion?
Review: The Wachowski brothers have delivered an exciting movie, though not completely new - but knowntheless, good plot and "what is the real?" - and "Good vs Evil" theme. It is amazing, with so much going on, that they are able to deliver, partly because of innovative filming, a concise and interesting movie.Though some reviewers have critically "slamed" Keanu Reeves' acting ability, he is no doubt a perfect fit as he brillintly pulls off a confused, searching young man, trying to find his destiny. His calling, like many people in real life, is mulled and contemplated. In one instance, he is a messaih figure, more like "King David" than Christ, and in other instances, he is a superhero with extreme power. Fishburne is perfect as Morpheous, the mentor and "minor prophet." Carrie Ann Moss, is compelling as Trinity, a high-flying...kickn' women who falls in love with Neo (Reeves). I am not normally a "special effects" person, but I must admit, I found effects in this movie to be pure genius. There was enough to WOW one, yet, not too much to take away from the movie. One Amazon reviewer didn't like the martial arts scenes, but these mostly Kung Fu scenes are a perfect fit for this type of film. Sure it isn't Bruce Lee, but for a bunch of actors, it is very well done. Stunt doubles for fight sequences are kept to a minmium so the contnuity in the characters shows - a major plus. The villians, Hugo Weaving and Joe Pantoliano are extremely good in their respective parts. All in all, a masterful film from two young filmakers.

Summary: One man's struggle to save the new world
Review: The Wachowski Brothers have succeeded in making one of the most fresh and innovative Sci-fi/action movies ever made, with a attention-grabbing storyline, nonstop action, and astrophysical acting performances across the board. Keanu Reeves (NEO) portrays an early sense of doubt and disbelief very convincingly, and makes a smooth transition throughout the film as he comes to terms with the "real world" and his struggle to save it. Laurence Fishburne,(MORPHEUS, the leader of the human resistance) delivers another exciting performance as his charisma and strong presence shine through in this movie. Carrie-Anne Moss (TRINITY) a member of Morpheus' crew as well as Neo's eventual love interest. The movie continues forward at backbreaking pace, offering enthralling plot twists, suspense-filled action sequences, and some of the best special effects ever to grace the big screen. Once you begin to watch this movie you won't want to stop. So get it now and be surprised to enter the new world.

Summary: A fabulous sci-fi thriller!
Review: The Wachowski brothers really cooked up one monster of a movie with The Matrix. It's got everything a good sci-fi movie needs: Deep story, fabulous visual effects, a powerful score, and a wonderful cast! This is a movie I'll enjoy for many years to come, and certainly one of the most entertaining, and most well put-together sci-fi flicks of all time!

Summary: Style over substance
Review: The Wachowski brothers take on reality. Obviously it's a subject that should have been treated by someone with more intelligence as the film dissolves into the kind of anti-technological paranoia found in 'The Terminator'. It's true that the digital FX are awesome, but without a doubt do not touch the power of The Phantom Menace. The story revolves around a group of guerilla type freedom fighters who know that daily life is an elaborate constuct controlled by artificial intelligence also known as The Matrix. Indeed, in more typical sci-fi fair, the masses are not aware that they are, well, 'enslaved'. This of course is not unlike the awesome 'Dark City'. The rebels are lead by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), a paranoid Obi-Wan Kenobi type who is searching for 'the One' who will save us all. This 'One' is Keanu Reeves who acts as artifical as The Matrix. Though I guess we are not supposed to care he can't act because we feel sorry for his burden as humanities 'savior' (HA!). With such cool internet names as Neo, Cypher and Trinity they are distinguished by their just as cool black leather threads. Along with the obnoxious Techno/Electro rock tracks - it's MTV perfect. Though the pseudo Zen spiritual hokum and philosophy ("Human Beings are the cancer of the planet - We are the cure") may enrapture 16 year olds across the world, the film is too caught up in formula to have any real insight - Thousands of bullets fly, good guys don't get hit, *yawn*. Like some comic book, the fate of the world comes down to a big fist fight. Indeed, the real star of this film may be fight choreographer 'Yuen Wo Ping' who did great work with 'Fist of Legend'. Which really sums up The Matrix - An overdirected piece of Hong Kong flash.

Summary: A dazzling, eye popping, sci fi thriller !
Review: The Wachowski duo, is a duo to remember, they are the heart and soul of this film. I first saw this film, in the movie theater, on my birthday, in the front row. And I'm telling you, it was the best birthday present I could ever get. I was mind boggled from the outstanding visuals I saw in the beggining of this film. The "Bullet Time Photography" has never been used before, but I am sure will be used a ton of times in future movies. The story was sooo deep and so out of this world, i couldn't beleive it. The idea that humans are used as batteries astounds me. And its freakishly realistic too. This film is most definitly "The Best Science Fiction EVER."

Summary: DAM GOOD
Review: The whole concept of the movie was fantastic. I watched it three times. The whole movie had my attention from start to finish.

Summary: The Matrix was an on the edge of your seat kinda movie.
Review: The whole idea that we live in a dream world isn't really that far fetched. The Director, and the rest of the support group did an excellent job with putting the film together. If they would have hired any other man to play Morphus it would have been a tragedy. Mr Fishburne did and excellent job in his portrayal. The rest of the cast also did an excellent job. Just watching this movie once is not enough! The best part of the whole movie to me was in the end when Neo looked down the hall in the apartment building and the only thing he saw was numbers, and letters, aka the Matrix. This action packed movie is a thrill ride for just about anyone to enjoy.

Summary: CLASSIC (trust me, i know these things)
Review: THE WORLD ISN'T READY FOR THIS MOVIE yet-it's too advanced, alot of people really didn't 'GET' this movie(look at all the OAP critics who thought this movie was average).
Just like Blade Runner, this movie is ahead of it's time. In 20 years this will be in the Top 10 best ever movies--i guarantee!
Feel free to Email me, to talk the movie over.
