Summary: Amazing visuals, superb screenplay, in a nutshell, WOW!
Review: I like sci-fi, big-budget, far-fetched, over-the-top films. Thankfully, "The Matrix" came out last April. I went to go see it for my 13th birthday on the 20th. You guessed it, I saw one of the reasons for the Columbine shootings ON the day of the Columbine shootings. Weird, huh?Visuals: Amazing special effects, art direction, cinematography, everything! If this doesn't get a visual effects nomination at the Oscars, then there is no justice. Overall Visuals Grade: A+ Acting: They'll probably get nominated at the MTV Movie Awards, but they were all still very believable and good. Overall Acting Grade: A- Screenplay/Story: Though far-fetched, it is still a great story with no plot holes or weird sayings. Just smooth as a baby's a** writing. Overall Screenplay/Story Grade: A- Sound/Editing: Computer sounds and machine gun fire are just a few sound effects. Too bad I don't have a DVD player or I could watch this at full blast. Editing was flawless. Overall Sound/Editing Grade: A Comments: This is one reason to leave your kids home when you go to the movies. If they have a good sense of real and make-believe (also, if you permit your kids to see brutal violence) then they'll have no problem with this. MPAA Rating: R for sci-fi violence and brief language. The violence is fairly strong and too intense for younger children. There are no "F" words in this. Though, there are ample "S" words.

Summary: Real, whith sensivity and imagination...
Review: I like this kind of movies because they alert us for "the reality" that surround us all... by presenting us new futures... and we must prevent some disasters that we may provoce... giving us at the same time sensibility to inovate in a world of a constant progress...

Summary: one of my favorite movies
Review: I like this movie and it has some humor and violence and it is pretty good. But at that one place that guy won't stop saying "Welcome to the Real World" which gets annoying after a while.

Summary: The best one
Review: I like this one the best out of all 3. It shows hella cool stuff like when Neo first learned how to use his focusing abilities and running up the wall and stuff like that. It was also cool when he fought against Smith in the subway station and had to find his way back before the Sentinels got to the Nebuchadnezzer. I thought the best part was when he was on the roof top and dodging all of those bullets from Jackson. It was also cool how he defeated Smith at the end by blowing him up. It was a really good movie and anyone who loves action should buy this.

Summary: Simplistic and unrealistic portrayal of advanced technology.
Review: I liked this movie only for the idea of the matrix itself. I don't think anything else in it is likely to ever happen. I mean, if we created machines that could think for themselves and did not serve us, and even if they did take over humanity, don't you think they could find a better energy source than human bodies? In the movie, the humans are in comas and they have tubes coming out of them which supposedly extract the energy that the AI machines need. Even if they did do this, why would they need to put the humans in the matrix? If they're in comas, what difference does it make to them whether the humans have no consciousness at all, or they believe the matrix to be real life? Also, I think if the machines were this advanced, that they'd be able to totally eliminate any chance of resistance. But like I said, I found the concept of a matrix interesting. The matrix is already real in the sense of the internet-- it is certainly a "place" where things happen, people "go" and communicate, etc, yet it does not physically exist anywhere. It's all theoretical, but theoretically, an infinite amount of matrices could be created. Each person could be on his own matrix, interacting with people that do not exist. In the movie, the matrix was a copy of what the world used to be like, whereas meanwhile it has been utterly destroyed by the machines. In a matrix, anything can happen. A matrix could be used to punish criminals beyond imagination. If you liked this movie, read "1984" and merge the two. Scary thought, eh? With the matrix, a dictator could gain unlimited power. Since in a matrix, anything can literally happen, that means a dictatorship could do anything they wanted if they controlled a matrix world. On the other hand, a utopia could just as easily be created. The only problem is each person has their own idea of utopia but that is no problem either. A different matrix could be made for each person, or groups of people, etc. Also, people may get into a medical condition where they can be kept alive by having machines breathe for them and pump their heart, but not fully revive them. In this situation there are many people who would rather live in a matrix than either die or live indefinitely in a coma. The concept of a matrix brings philosophical questions. Is a matrix real? If you define "real" as something you can verify with the five senses, then yes, the matrix is just as real as the "real world." Yet, it just doesn't seem real even though I can't think of a better definition for "real." It also makes striving for a better world seem pointless because this world could be essentially erased like it was in the movie, and moreover, a million matrices could be created. So think of how insignificant you are in this world, and multiply that by a million. The only people with any real power at all (and they would have a LOT) would be the ones who design and operate the matrices. Although not stressed in the movie, it also calls into question free will. Surely in a matrix our free will could be totally taken away and our every movement and thought controlled by a computer, unknown to us. That is, if we even have free will. A scarier thought-- what if we're in a matrix now? How would we know? It reminds me of "The Truman Show," where Truman is filmed unknowingly and all his friends and neighbors are all actors in the show. But in the matrix, control over the subjects can become absolute. Truman eventually discovered what was going on and broke free from the set and into the real world. After watching "Artificial Intelligence," "Bicentenial Man", and "The Matrix," I have one question for Hollywood: "When will you make a movie that shows technology HELPING mankind, which is the whole point of it?"

Summary: WONDERFUL!
Review: I love it when writers, producers, and directors dare to go outside the box and make a film that is unlike anything we have ever seen. I dreaded not going to see this in theaters. I waited until the DVD came out to rent it. This is such a good movie. It is almost hard to review because there is little to say about it, it is just good. I do warn people, that don't like movies that are hard to follow to maybe not see this move. You have to be very attentitive when watching this film. You cannot take your eyes off of it. All in all the movie is unlike anything that has ever been on celluloid. One of the better films of 1999.
