Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Matrix is a great movie
Review: This is a spectacular movie with outstanding visual effects! It is by far my favorite movie of all time!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THOSE WHO LIKE TO THINK WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE
Review: This is a thinking-person's movie. If sex and violence in movies is your thing, then stay way from this because it'll knock your socks off. You might want to study Christianity, some Eastern religions, and New Age-ism due to the inclusion of all these aspects into the movie. If you do, the movie will come even more alive to you. And then there's the FX. Outstanding! They're the type that makes you want to leave the theatre and take on everyone around you with the moves displayed in the movie. But spend more time thinking and less time on the adrenaline rush. You will find so much more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Keanu is THE ONE
Review: This is a truly great film. The premise is fascinating, the groundbreaking effects and the cast superb, the script full of poetic ideas that spark the imagination...but it all rests on Keanu Reeves. He IS Neo. No other actor could have done this...the innocence/wisdom, the physical grace. Like a god/prince in the quest for truth, the part fits him like a velvet glove and he makes the most of it.

It's a film that must be seen several times...it can't be absorbed in one or two viewings. This is easily the best sci-fi adventure I've ever seen, and Keanu is magnificent. Who could ask for anything more !

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A definate cult classic!
Review: This is a truly original, clever masterpiece of a film. 'The Matrix' mixes sci-fi with surreal fantasy and is a brilliant action thriller also. There are plans for 2 more films to be made but I think this will be the best as it's the original story. Not many people will hate this film, although it can be confusing in places.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Movie + Amazing Bonuses = Must Buy
Review: This is a very cool movie, but not necessarily something I would want to see too many times. However, all the extra features in this DVD are very cool. It really adds to the life of the movie. It defintaley makes this DVD worth it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: cool effects, bad plot
Review: this is a very cool movie, fun to watch and i love keanu reeves. i also love sci-fi flicks so why did i give the matrix only 4 stars? the plot was stupid and lacking just about everything. not fulfilling in the way of a story at all. but dispite all this the special effects are the best i've ever seen and the matrix remains on my amazon.com wish list.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great film for your eyes and mind.
Review: This is a very fun film, that mends action with philosophical concepts and religious symbolism. The film is fun to watch just because it has some very cool action scenes that are pleasurable for the eyes. Yet there exists a more intellectual depth for your mind. What makes it great is that, upon viewing it multiple times, you get more out of it. You discover different themes and messages, every person gets something different out of it. There are many interpretations and views you can arrive at.

The characters are great, the best being Morpheus and Agent Smith. The character of Neo as a doubting Thomas-Christ figure is played out well. And it is very pleasing to see a female action star that is not put on the screen just to showcase sexuality, but who is tough and can take care of herself.

Watch for the "Night of the Lepus" clip, and BULLET TIME special effects (that every new movie copies). 5 Stars. Check it out.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Hyped?
Review: This is a very good movie which also has a very intruiging plot. But it really is not the best of them out there. It sets some very interesting points to think about but don't take it too serious, if you do you'll spoil the whole movie because when you are using some serious logic you'll find a lot of flaws.

However; this movie is still very entertaining and the DVD is one of the best around. A very interesting feature of this DVD is 'follow the white rabbit'. Simply watch the movie as you normally would but whenever you see a white rabbit appear you can quickly press a button and you will be presented with an in depth explanation of how they made the scene you just saw.

Now the "rumour" circuit has it that there is a sequal coming, which also means that the price of the first will drop. This is the best time to get the movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good sci-fi, needed more action, and more of a plot
Review: This is a very good Sci-fi movie, but it takes forever to get to some action.

Neo:He is what Morpheus and the others, belive is the one. He is just a normal guy, that works, but the agents want him for some reason. When he decides to join Morpheus and his gang, he realizes how hard, strange, difficult, and unbeliveble the truth can be.

Morpheus:He has been serching all his life for Neo, whom he belives is the one. He is the leader of a crew that goes up agenst the odds in the real world and the vurtual world. Altho he's doinf quite good, his crew keeps on dying to agents, in the computer world. But the crutial question is this: is Neo really the one?

It took a real long time for me to get into the movie. This movie really didn't have a plot, and it took so long to finally see some action, which was why I gave the movie 4 stars for starting slow, but ending with a bang. If you love sci-fi, then by all means, check this out, but if you love action, just expect to sit through the first hour, whaching nothing but talking.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wierd!
Review: This is a very strange movie.
Some people i've spoke to, after seeing this movie, something 'clicked'..they walked out of the cinema in awe, and looked at the world in a different way for weeks..the movie had a massive impact, on many levels.

Others, came out saying..hmm, it was an ok sci-fi movie, good FX/action etc.
If it 'clicked' with you, you know exactly what i'm talking about..but i really can't understand why this happened to some, and not others. Does anyone know what i'm talking about. Or am i insane?
