Summary: Real? What the heck is it?
Review: This extreme tensioned motion pictures make us veer between the world we're living and term "Real". In fact it confuses us at all. The film is must seen. Effect, sound are %100 suit for this Sci-fi motion picture. It will effect so many people, really. Bravo to Wachowski brothers. Believe the unbelieveable 'cause the unbelieveable is created already.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE MATRIX IS CRAMMED WITH SYMBOLISM...
Review: This fascinating movie is full of many biblical- prophetic symbols: Neo, "the One," represents either the Messiah (or more probably, Elijah, - one of the Two Witnesses of Rev.11); MOrphEouS represents Moses, - the second of the Two Witnesses of Rev.11. Everyone, I suppose, will have their own interpretations, but believe me: this movie has lots and lots of biblical and apocalyptic symbols laced throughout all the fast action. Look for all the deeper meanings that have a prophetic symbol...but don't look TOO hard...you might get lost...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Matrix - brilliance on DVD
Review: This film again reflects the hope that the human spirit can overcome all opposition and conquer a seemingly invincible enemy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A rather intriguing film with mind-bending special effects
Review: This film blew my mind. My first impression was an overly-hyped special-effects ridden, money-driven movie. What I got was an awesome tour-de-force of special effects action and one of the most engaging fighting sequences of all time. The writing is not the greatest, I agree, but it seems fitting at times for the film. I also thought that Lawrence Fishburne as Morpheus was a perfect cast (and they were going to cast Val Kilmer.) Carrie Ann Moss was awesome in her role along with whoever the actor was who played the head Agent. Overly-violent at times it still has some scenes that will stick with you for a long-time. The Matrix is one of those movies that'll have you questioning your reality at film's end. The Matrix is a gripping thriller with awe-inspiring special effects that is sure to become a cult classic and will be enjoyed for years to come.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: There is no spoon
Review: This film demonstrates that there truly are no boundries as to what the imagination can make real. This has become my all-time favorite film. The Matrix picked my world up and turned it inside out, and just when I'd adjusted to that, it turned it upside down, too. You will truly be drawn in by the cinematography. The special effects are seamless. I think that no other movie at this time is more suited to DVD format than this one. Inovation has always been a key factor in making a movie a classic film (especially in the sci-fi genre) and The Matrix will surely be one of them. It draws you in and when it's all over, it leaves you buzzing. Are you ready for the next one?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A visual of dazzling display
Review: This film doesn't require your mind. It's all action and martial arts. This is for the extreme action people only. I consider this one of the best action films to date. You've got to own this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Possibly the ultimate in film entertainment
Review: This film has everything you need. An excellent storyline written and directed by the Wachowski brothers, brilliant acting from Laurence Fishburne, Keanu Reaves and supporting cast, and enough action to keep you on the edge of your seats until the sequel comes out. Very basically the film is about the matrix. It is an elaborate deception, only to us real as life gets. We humans are reduced to a battery to keep the artificial intelligence we originally created alive, and in turn this keeps us out of interfering with their ultimate scheme of things. Not all of us accept this. This film is done extremely well in every manner. The way the film is shot gives you that almost dreamlike feeling when necessary, the action scenes are better than I have seen in any film before, the lobby scene especially. The script very well put together, has an excellent soundtrack and has the humour all in the right places. The worst thing about this film is that they almost convince us they're right, and we the audience are in the matrix too. The best thing is just about all of it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good entertainment
Review: This film has fantastic effects, and an interesting plot, with adequate acting. The result is good, solid entertainment. Don't see this movie if you want to analyze, or take the plot further than the confines of the 1 1/2 hours.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Take the red pill
Review: This film has it all, a superb action packed film with good acting and an excellent story. Basically the film is a sci-fi action movie, I would recomend watching the trailer as it doesn't spoil the movie as some do. The plot Basically is as Lawrence fishburn says "What is the differnce between the real world and a dream world, and how to we know when we wake from that dream ?" The film is based upon that our life is all a computer program and we are connected to the program living a "dream life". Some people compare this film to "dark city" but really it has everything that Dark City doesn't if you have seen dark city and you liked it or didn't like it then you will love this movie its awsome ! The DVD is one of the best released, superb special features and the Movie itself has superb picture quality with amazing room shaking dolby digital sound even if you saw it in the movies buy the DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: revolutionary
Review: This film has to be one of the all-time great. The Wachowshi Brothers sure did some experimenting throughout the film and it paid off big time. Carrie-Anne Moss was gorgeous as Reeves' romantic love interest whilst Fishburne's Morpheous was just excellent, even haunting at times, when he floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee with his outrageous one liners.

Reeves, however, I feel, has redeemed himself. After the disaster of Johnny Nemonic, he has realised that this was one film he had to give a performance of his career.

Roll on The Matrix!! Bring on the sequel!!
