Summary: WHOAH!!!! The Best Movie This Year!!!!
Review: I've been waiting for this Dvd ever since March 31st 1999 the day The Matrix came out in theaters I was there for the 1st show of the day and I was totally blown away by this movie. This is the most visually stunning and original movie I have seen in a long time easily the Best Movie I Have Seen This Year!!! Most movies have me getting antsy in my seat before the standard 90 minute movie is over but the Matrix which runs almost 2 and a half hours had me asking for more after it was over This is not your average big-budget actioneer (most of which I dont care for because of their lack of imagination and storylines)The Matrix on the other hand offers an immersing story, revolutinary state-of-the-art-effects, Great characters, Mind Blowing Action and Kung-Fu sequences, and camera work that takes you on a roller coaster. Dvd offers a ton of extras like "Follow the white rabbit" and many other hidden extras only wish I had Dvd-rom on my computer to access the other extras like script to storyboards, Trailers to tests to see if your "THE ONE". I believe this movie is a landmark a pioneering film that will be looked back upon as the movie that started a whole new style of imaginative filmmaking. Iv'e seen this movie 5 times already and it just keeps getting better, Well anyway I can't tell you what The Matrix is you have to see it for yourself!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great movie butttttt
Review: I've bought two copies of the DVD. Scenes repeat, KUNG_FU for one and then there's the problem where the sound goes out of sync. Untill the bring out new and improved DVD buy the VHS

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best sci fi I've seen in years
Review: I've enjoyed intelligent sci fi films, such as Blade Runner and RoboCop (the first), and this movie definately fights its way to the top of my list. I am in my forties, a woman, and I still loved it. The story line helps you overlook the flaws in some of the "logic," but the special effects are superb. Give it a try, even if you are wary of special effects laded sci fi movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Technically the best
Review: I've grown up with movies starting in the 50's, with the all-to-obvious special effects, until now with Matrix. I was blown away. And the extras on the DVD showing how they were created didn't take a thing away from the wonderful complexity of what they created.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still one of the best
Review: I've had this DVD for a while but never written a review. Still stands as one of my favorites - not just because it's a good movie, but because the extras on the DVD were so well done.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but overrated.
Review: I've heard people say this is the best movie they've ever seen. I don't agree with that, but I do think it's a pretty good movie. The effects are great, the story is pretty good (the idea is especially interesting and discussion-invoking), but the characters aren't very interesting. The worst part is that you never learn about the supporting characters before they're blown away. The addition of more info on them, plus just a little humor to crack the characters' stone-cold faces, would have made this a 5-star movie, not just a 4-star.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: I've never seen a movie quite like it. The special effects are awesome. This movie was action packed and even had romance! Throughout the entire video, all you can do is think!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie EVER.
Review: I've never written a one-line review before, but here goes: The Matrix is the best movie EVER.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie rocked!!
Review: I've only seen the movie once, but I plan on seeing it at least two more times. Whoever said Keanu can't act needs to see this movie. In my opinion he and the others did an excellent job. Go watch this movie!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: I've seen the Matrix six times in the theater, and I've figured out why it's so good. Other than the first Die Hard (my second favorite movie...hint, hint), this is the only action movie that I can think of that tells you everything right up front, and then lets you sit back and enjoy the action without making you think a lot. Most action movies have crazy plot-twists and surprise endings that try to jam in a reasonable explanation before the credits roll. At the 40 minute mark of the Matrix, the entire plot is explained; you know who's good and who's bad, and then you can just stop thinking, sit back, and let the goose bumps flow.

Also, I can't understand why someone who likes action and sci-fi movies wouldn't love the Matrix. The only explanation I can think of is that they just didn't get it, period. They'll argue with me, but my response would simply be..."an insane person doesn't know they're insane."

One last thing...if you don't buy it on DVD, then you should be shot. If you HAVE to buy it on VHS, and you don't buy the widescreen version, then you should be shot twice.
