Summary: Don't think I blinked through the entire show!
Review: WHAT IS THE MATRIX? Within this question lies the very essence of the movie. "Mind-blowing"? Today's special effects thrillers toss this and other extreme terminology around loosely. But what of the first movie since the Star Wars Trilogy to actually EARN this description? This is it, friends, an out and out mind-blower! The cast, plot, and effects of The Matrix combine to make this the film achievement of the decade.

Summary: Bullet Time
Review: What is the Matrix?!? - A Quite Amazing film. The Story line being quite complex however, so you might have to sit down and watch this one a few times. I have seen this film so many times I have lost count, The effects in the film are so outstanding they will blow you away. One of the stand out effects for me was Bullet time - never been seen before except on Japenese films, Andy and Larry Wachowski (Bound) really push the computer effects to the limit when Neo (Keanu Reeves) decides to dodge bullets fired from an enemy gun. The Story line basically goes like this. A computer Hacker named Allias Neo (Keanu Reeves) is searching for the question, the question is "What is the Matrix?", he thinks that when he finds the answer to this it will make sense of his life. Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) Is the comander of a ship who is searching for the one, now he has found Neo he thinks that his search is over.

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.

Summary: It's the cheesiest!
Review: What is this? Wanna-be Hong Kong movie + wanna-be Western movie + Wanna-be SF? I felt kinda sorry for all the money that spent on that movie. Yes, the special effects and all that but nothing impressive. But if you liked it, then go to watch "The Cell". You'll probably like it, too.

Summary: Defining the start of the New Millenium
Review: What more can be said about this groundbreaking film? It absolutely redefined the entire action genre, and did so with unrivaled flair and panache. The film does for Generation Y what the original "Star Wars" did for the younger half of GenX. Not only are the film's special effects groundbreaking and visually stunning, but the action is superb as well. From dazzling mid-air martial arts to bullet dodging to the shoot-em-up "lobby" scene, it is little wonder that this was the first DVD in my collection. My only regret is that I never experienced this film in a theater--I saw it for the first time on fullscreen VHS, which simply does not do it justice. The movie succeeds on all levels, but perhaps the thing that most clearly indicates the greatness of this movie is that I never tire of watching it again. The special features on bullet time and the commentary tracks are insightful and interesting, making Matrix a must-have for any DVD collection.

Summary: Computer Geek/Kung Fu Masters of the Universe
Review: What more can you say? It's not entirely original material; the basic concept has been explored before. But it's extremely well done and if you accept the "Humans as Coppertop Batteries" premise there are no serious plot holes. My only quibble with the big action fight scene is how when they emptied the weapon they simply dropped it and pulled out another - wouldn't it be easier to carry fewer guns and spare clips? Another movie in the same vein that I can recommend is Dark City.

Summary: a typically dumb billion $ hollywood production
Review: what more evidence does one need to prove the simple minded, special affects laden, monotoned mentality of the red white and blue comic book audiences?

Summary: Matrix review #2,433
Review: What other reason do you need to buy this movie? It looks great. Has great sound. BUT the features fall short.
Where are deleted scenes? What about a decent commentary track? Do yourself the favor and purchase "Maxtrix Revisited" in addition to the movie. That disc kicks @ss. Look it. You will want it.

Summary: An into to a great franchise
Review: What people say about this movie is really misleading. There is hardley any action in it untill the last half hour. But.....
the last half hour is GREAT. I could watch it over and over and over again. I would of gave this movie 3 stars, but I realized this movie was just an intoduction to great franchise. I've seen the new trailor that came out around 4/11, and it was awsome. The next two Matrix's may be some of the best movies of the decade.
