Summary: this is the movie DVD was invented for!
Review: you simply can't enjoy THE MATRIX properly on video cassette. If you're planning on getting this movie, just get a DVD player and this DVD. The sound is awesome, the picture is excellent, and there are some really nice extras too. THE MATRIX was the best movie of 1999, you must get it!

Summary: It's visual appeal far outweighs it's intellectual appeal.
Review: You'd think THE MATRIX was a very special movie indeed based on all the extremely positive comments preceding this one. I must admit that it is quite entertaining and has no boring moments. It features some great special effects and is visually exciting. But these adjectives could also be used to describe an MTV music video. In fact, it seems music videos, along with Japanese animation and the slow motion action scenes from John Woo movies, were the main inspiration for this film. Throw in a science fiction plot containing lots of pseudo scientific jargon and you have a movie that is not only action packed but seems quite intellectual as well. But it is this intellectual aspect of THE MATRIX that I feel has been overrated. The film's central question, -- `Just what is reality?' is drowned out by all the action and not examined in any great detail. A motion picture that tackles this very same question in a much more fascinating manner is 1998's highly underrated DARK CITY. Both films explore similar territory, but because DARK CITY was not geared towards the mainstream by incorporating a modern music score and a shoot-em-up sensibility, it was not as popular. Like little children fascinated by bright colors and loud noises, modern audiences tend to be transfixed by films like THE MATRIX. But this movie's lasting power (like last months number one pop hit) won't be long term. Entertaining - yes, great or meaningful - No.

Summary: An Instant Classic!
Review: _The Matrix_ is a film that measures up favorably to such other classic science fiction films as _Blade Runner_, _12 Monkeys_, _Aliens_, and the Terminator films. In fact, I wouldn't at all be surprised if this becomes the _Blade Runner_ of the 90s (in reference to the incredible influence that film had on the look of films which followed). It's hard to believe that the creators of _Bound_, which was an enjoyable, though forgettable film, could have such an incredible second act waiting. I love this film--not since _Brazil_ have I seen a film worth watching multiple times while it was still in theaters. And the DVD presentation lives up to the film--this is one of those DVD's you want on hand to show your friends what the format is capable of, a "show-off" disc. I give the film my highest possible recommendation; it lives up to repeated viewings, has a great soundtrack, and the FX are truly groundbreaking. Can hardly wait for the sequel!
