Summary: The best action/scifi/conspiricy movie ever
Review: I seen this movie a few weeks ago and I think that the combination of action science fiction with the whole conspiricy thing was MAGNIFICENT. I thought that the special effects in this movie were superb, and that the action sequences were awesome and fast pace. I recomend this movie to anyone that likes action scifi or is just a special effects buff.

Summary: This DVD movie rocks. The best DVD ever. Extremely good.
Review: I seen this movie on my DVD player today, 16th September 1999, a whole week before USA. It was so cool and this DVD is a combined DVD Movie and Interactive DVD-ROM. 7,4 Gb Movie and 1 Gb PC stuff. Example you got a copy from the official Matrix web site on the DVD-Rom. The prerry good Matrix Internet Explorer which rocks with the original Matrix Soundtrack in background. Much better and more fun than the standard Internet Explorer from Microsoft. The Matrix Movie Trivia game is very good. Every question is linked to the movie and you can see the actual scenes directly in a own window. "The Storyboard" section is pretty good. You can see all the animated storyboards which was made to make the movie. The Storyboard have also lot of pictures from the movie and the whole story with dialogs and script to every scene in the movie. Very good idea. Unbelievable it is around 1000 Mb with PC stuff on the same DVD disc as the movie. This is how every DVD should have been. 95% of the dual-layed one-side DVD-disc is used. 8,3 Gb include the movie. This is to good to be true. You got also in the DVD ROM section 6 standard Mpeg movie trailers from movies like Mad Max 2 and 3, Soldiers, Demolition Man and of course Matrix. This can be played by programs like Windows Media Player. The DVD Movie Menu sections repeats itself with best movie scenes from the movie. Pretty good. The movie is normally 130 min. long, but you can also see the extra movie scenes that wasn't on the cinema version. Other things you get is information and pictures about the casts and directors in the movie. You can see the movie with american subtitles. Hear the directors when you see the movie. Hear the soundtracks in the movie without hearing nothing else from the movie. This is really soundtrack like you get on the Soundtrack CD. A very good idea also other DVDs should have. Documentary movies about the making of the movie and the special effects. Really good quality in sound and pictures in the movie made this DVD a example how other DVDs should have been. This is really 100% like the format DVD should have be. This is the best movie on DVD!!!!

Here in Norway where I live, the largest entertainment company have got 40000 copies of the Matrix DVD movie this week. It is very cool that I and many other DVD fans in Norway, got the Matrix DVD movie in our own mailboxes a whole week before the DVD movie is released in USA. In few days I will also got the DVD movie of The Mummy. In Norway many people have modified DVD players and buy the DVD movies they like to own. American versions or European versions have very little to say. Nearly all in Norway can speak english. It is only around 300 DVD movies in Europe still but in USA it is more than ten times so much.

Summary: You have to pay attention watching this film
Review: I seen this movie three times last year.I had three dates last summer,and everyone wanted to see this film.The first time was fantastic.It was exciting,but you have to pay attention.The first hour explains the Matrix,then the adventure begins.Laurence Fishburne is the best actor in the movie,and he explans the Matrix to Keanu and the rest of us. You'll have a great time renting this Movie,and at the end it makes you think,maybe were all in the Matrix.

Summary: Fourteen times and counting. Signs & Symbols for the mind.
Review: I simply do not know where to begin; however, I will do as best I can.

When the movie was released the Wednesday prior to Easter, I knew something was up. I mean, my exposure to Matrix equations in undergrad led me to sense "balls to bones," that this was a must see. Therefore, I set out to see the movie when I left my office. Upon my arrival, the theatre was not as full as I anticipated; yet upon settling in, it got a little fuller, and I was ready for anything. Boy did I get it. When the movie was over, I sat there in awe. I peeled myself from my seat to leave. Having done so, I, once outside of the theatre, decided to see it again; that evening. I have seen it so much, my colleges are suggesting that I have a "problem." I reply, that seeking knowledge, and its accompanying behavior has, for millennia, been regarded as "weird."

This movie is crammed with many levels of information that I, like Morpheus, tell others "The Matrix, no one can tell you what it is. You have to see it for yourself."

By far, this movie is a thinking person's movie. In that it deals with juxtaposing our world as we "know" it with the created world of "The Matrix." In other words, we create the reality, collectively and individually, we experience at any given moment. Be it our clothes, careers, institutions, constructs, or places of residence. We create it all. It is the proverbial "dream world."

I am choosing my words carefully in an effort not to give the movie away. Yet, I must say if you are looking for an understanding of the world around you, please see/buy this movie. Please remember, everything in this movie has a meaning; EVERYTHING. Its philosophical, theological, sociological, and esoteric messages will cause you to become not unlike myself, a walking question mark. Let your journey begin.

Travel in peace.

Summary: One of my favorite films
Review: I simply love the Matrix. Everything about it is wonderful. The plot, the acting, the lighting, action sequences, and the special effects all add up to make one of the best films I have ever seen. I know it isnt perfect, but I'm a sci-fi nut and kind of overlook the corny parts...

Summary: If you havent't seen this move
Review: I suggest you go to your local Blockbuster and rent the movie, then buy the DVD... It is a must for any movie library.

This movie reaffirms Laurence Fishburne's pedigree as an actor, lends Keanu Reeves respectability, and launches a bright new star in Carrie Anne Moss.

Don't be the last one to watch the best cinematic genius to come out of Hollywood in a long time.

Summary: Do I really have to put a rating on this?
Review: I swear, if you haven't seen The Matrix yet, the run to the local Blockbuster and rent it. Even better, buy it right now! This is by far the greatest special effects, mind boggling movie of all time! Superbly acted and edited, I completely understand why it won a few Academy Awards, but I can't remember how many or what for. This is a definite must-see.

Summary: The Matrix is awesome because it IS philosophically correct
Review: I take issue with the earlier review dissin' The Matrix for the very fact that it questions reality. This film differs from other reality-bending movies because it confirms that there is in fact one reality and it is possible to reach it, not by some mystical faith, but by using your mind. While this is a very cool action movie, the characters must first use reason to discover the true reality. With that firmly in place then they need guns, "lots of guns."

Summary: Who knows?
Review: I think I have discussed this at length elsewhere, but I think this is an ideal forum for mentioning that I have never so far watched the Matrix without falling asleep. This is surprising for me, because I've always been a fan of science fiction (until I got married), and in principle, this should have been absolutely riveting. However, there are very compelling reasons why this should have happened. Firstly, there may have been some after effects of the wrestling sessions I was having at the local gym just before I saw each screening - and secondly, there may have been secret subliminal messages transmitted during the film. I'm still checking my body for unexpected metallic objects/implants. Also for cuts, bruises, and sprains from the wrestling. Any comments or offers?
