Summary: Not Poifect.
Review: This is not a perfect film, but it is a great one. I have it on DVD and it is one of the best DVD's out there, despite the fact I can't find the frickin trailer. I now only watch the fight scenes, all the other scenes are unbearingly boring after you have seen the movie a few times. I am one of the few people who are a little bit sceptical about the two sequels. The Matrix is set up very well for them but I am very worried the Wachowski brothers' hubris may get the better of them. They may believe all the hype about them and that can make them think that they can do no wrong. That, in turn, could lead to them doing a halfa** job on the second one. It wouldn't rule out a third one. No matter how bad the next one may be, it does have a chance to be good, people will see it in droves. Hey we're Americans (most of us), we're used to bad, big-budget movies.Also, I don't believe that the matrix is real. Don't become paranoid and think that you're actually living in a dreamworld. Look at it this way: if the matrix were real wouldn't the agents have stopped the Wachowski brothers from making the film? Now were you reading my review, or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?

Summary: $72 for one disc??
Review: This is not a review of the movie - the Matrix is by itself an interesting subject - but instead this is review of what's available in the package you get. I had The Matrix on DVD from back when it first came out. Somehow, when the son moved to College, I lost my Matrix DVD, so I finally decided to replenish my collection and get, what I thought was a 2 disc version with more behind the scenes stuff. Instead, I get a single disk, with the excat same content as my old (collection happy - buyer is not), a poster, some pictures and a frame of the movie blown up. Is that worth the additional $50 (at least)?? I don't think so. But the quality of the DVD is great - as the old one. However, the box, pictures and posters will soon be archived under T for Trash.

Summary: Awesome movie!!
Review: This is one great movie, not only for its special effects and action, but also for its ability to make you think about the "real world." I recommend this to anyone who either is into sci-fi or action!! :)

Summary: Exelent Movie. It makes you think.
Review: This is one movie that you WILL need to watch more than twice to pickup all the twists in the story, or even get the right answer to the question "What is the Matrix?". I found the use of camera angles and reflections very powerful. What I liked most about the movie was that there was no swearing and no sex scenes, just action and a great story. You'll need to watch carefully to truely appreciate the story line. If you don't get drawn in completely you'll miss out.

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: Incredible Film, Even More Incredible DVD :)
Review: This is one of only two movies that I have ever seen THREE times in the theater...and, since I bought it on DVD a year ago, I have probably seen it a total of at least 10 times by now. It is a movie that draws you in, not just with its mind-boggling special effects, but also with its underlying story. The story is so neatly woven into it all, and the whole film is so fast-paced, that on first (or even third) viewing, it's difficult to be able to follow it all. Sorry, all you "dissenters" out there, but if you didn't like this film, then you obviously just didn't get it. I'm a relatively smart moviegoer, but I did not totally get all the details in the entire movie myself, the first few times around. I loved it the very first time I saw it, and I knew that it was a great, groundbreaking film. But honestly, I got maybe about 40% of what was going on. I began to lose track of what was happening after Neo takes the red pill. Fortunately, this movie works on so many levels, that it can even be enjoyed on the level of a high-tech, high-kickin', sci-fi-action thriller. But something about this film intrigued me so much, the way "The X-Files" on TV used to intrigue me. The second time I saw THE MATRIX, I was up to about 60% in my understanding of it. At this point, I got most of the major details, (like what happens after Neo takes the red pill) but I still didn't fully understand exactly what the agents, or the sentinels, were. On my thrid viewing, I finally got this point, but I wouldn't say that I got 100% of it--I got maybe up to 90%. But everytime I have seen it since, it adds something new to my understanding of the incredible world of THE MATRIX. This is the mark of a GREAT FILM: One that makes you want to come back for more, even when you don't understand everything in it, and gives you something new every single time you see it. THE MATRIX was great to see in the theater, but it is an even greater experience on DVD. It was cool on the big screen, but on DVD the film is much sharper (it almost makes you think that your TV set is HDTV), and it has all the great extras that you would expect from a DVD--plus many great ones that you WOULDN'T expect. Besides the great behind-the-scenes documentary "HBO First Look: Making the Matrix," you get the incredible feature "Take the red pills to view two hidden special effects documentaries: "What is Bullet Time?" and "What is the Concept?"" which delves much more into what the special effects are and how they are accomplished. Plus, there is the feature that allows you to see the film and, at certain points, a "white rabbit" pops up on the lower right-hand corner of the screen. If you click "ENTER" on your remote while the white rabbit is up on the screen, you get taken to a mini-behind-the-scenes-featurette on exactly how they made that particular scene (this is NOT taken out of the HBO behind-the-scenes feature. It's pretty incredible! Of course, the Commentary by Carrie-Anne Moss, editor Zach Staenberg and visual effects supervisor John Gaeta is also very cool. Overall, it's like nothing I've ever seen before. I can't wait for THE MATRIX 2, or whatever its title will be, to come out!! Bottom line to all this: If you loved the movie, you'll go ga-ga over the DVD!!!!
