Summary: Among My Favorites
Review: What can I say? I love this movie. The special effects were amazing--and obviously trend setting. I loved the story, the clothes, the music, the colors--everything. Every time I watch this movie, I learn something new about it. The first time I watched it, I knew it would be a favorite. A must have for science fiction lovers.

Summary: Wow! Just- wow!
Review: What can I say? This is one of the most original movies ever created, taking advantage of people's already high "techno-phobia". The movie starts out with a woman on a computer, who then gets chased by the police. Your first impression of this is "Great, another conspiracy movie." After she jumps over a great distance from one building to another, and when her enemy does the same, you start to wonder "What just happened?" The complicated plot then starts to unravel, always one step ahead of you. The best reason to buy this movie on DVD is simply because this movie has incredible, INCREDIBLE special effects which you just can't fully appreciate with vhs quality. One last thing is that the cast was great. Even though I hate to admit it, Keanu Reeves was the bet pick for Neo. Good movie, incredible speical effects- my final rating, 4 stars.

Summary: Follow the white rabbit
Review: What can one say that hasn't already been said about this movie. See it with open eyes, or to have your eyes opened.It does not matter whether the story could happen, as some reviewers would have you believe. I don't want to give anything away for those who have not seen the Matrix. I will say, buy it, rent it, take it home... and if you have a good sound system, crank it up as loud as you dare. This is one of the most original movies ever. "The world as we know it has been pulled over our eyes to blind us from the truth." This movie will make you think! Excellent picture and sound quality. A must see!

Summary: ESSENTIAL
Review: What can you write about the Matrix that hasn't been written? Hands down one of the most innovate and original movies to come along in a long time. The reason this movie has taken DVD by storm is because other movies just aren't original any more. On top of that, this movie is perhaps the most essential DVD for demoing a home theater. The computer-aided action and filming is incredible. While the movie is rated R (which kept me from seeing it for so long) I couldn't find anything in it to justify that. There are some tough fight scenes (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had fight scenes too) but the language and fighting combined justify a PG-13 at the most. I would assume they got it rated R so that more people would be interested in seeing it.

Summary: grossly overrated, pretentious eye candy
Review: what exactly is it that people see in this movie? it's just one more sci-fi/shoot em up flick in the long line of that sad tradition. far from the plot being all that fascinating or philosophical, anyone who attended college could have written this garbage up as the movie was shot. and who can actually take keanu reeves seriously?? during all that drivel about 'introducing a reality with no rules' or whatever, i just kept expecting him to break out and scream "gnarly dude!" the reason people rave about these kind of ridiculous, ephemeral (...) fests is because the rest of the movies out there are even worse and do not bother pretending (as this one does) to have substance. call me too artsy or cerebral, but i want more out of a movie than pointless shooting scenes and busty women, and i would really appreciate it if the director took me seriously enough to do something other than string me along with a sadly fake and laughable attempt at depth or meaning. it really is a sad state of affairs today:even blatantly obvious pretenders to the throne are superior to the norm. this movie does not even work as what it basically is, adolescent escapism. and escapism, contrary to what the majority think, can in fact be great and even substantive, when it is done the right way. anyone with a little bit of a brain must have been depressed but nonetheless slightly amused as they exited the theater after this atrocity mercifully ended and overheard the lively chat about how deep it was. many of my friends talk enthusiastically about what a profound comment on reality this nonsense is, and i agree in the sense that it drives home quite firmly the reality of everything that can go wrong with a movie. you can just see the directors of these things laughing to themselves privately as the bucks roll in and secretly wondering, "what idiot said that you can't fool all the people all the time?"

Summary: I went to see it expecting an action flick.
Review: What I *got* was something that, while it does have spectacular special effects, also actually has a *plot*. The last notable movie I'd seen in theaters was Titanic, so you can imagine that it came as pleasant suprise. There's an element of wish-fufillment (like movies wherein the bully gets beaten up) in Neo's sudden freedom. I loved the use of color, action, shadow, suspense...pretty much everything. Reeves turned in a startlingly good performance, and every straight guy and gay/bi girl I know declares that Carrie-Anne Moss is both hot and a good actress. Little details really perfect many of the scenes, and often it takes several times watching it to pick up on them. It's definitely a movie worth watching, even buying.

Summary: Best movie I have ever seen.
Review: What I had heard most about the matrix is it's awesome special effects. For this reason, I waited untill the DVD was released to watch it at home on my widescreen television with Definitive Tech. system. It was well worth the wait because everything I had heard about this movie was true. Not only were the special effects great but the storyline was also good. If you are thinking of getting this DVD, you are on the right track to getting a great collection.

Summary: The greatest sci-fi thriller ever made.
Review: What I've recently found out is that the people that don't like this movie is mainly because they can't understand the deep plot and storyline involved with "The Matrix". Broaden your minds you all! This film has the most spectacular special effects ever seen in a motion picture, Lawrence Fishburne is perfect in his role as Morpheas, has awesome kung-fu fights, and of course slow-motion shoot outs. What else could a die-hard action movie fan possibly want! Even though this was really meant for us teenage people, some adults may find this to be an excellent Show. This probably the best DVD out there. Go buy it today!

Summary: WHAT IS THE MATRIX? AN AWESOME MOVIE!
Review: What if the world you live in is a dream, and you are never going to wake up??? That's the question posed by the Matrix, a film by The Wachowski Brothers. The film has a chilling plot, and lots of philosophy stuff. But, when our hero ( Keanu Reeves) gets into action, we are blown away with a slow- motion effect copied but never matched. The Matrix is the Ultimate adrenaline junkies film.

Summary: I SALUTE TO EVERYBODY OF THIS MOVIE!!! "VERY ENLIGHTENING !"
Review: WHAT IS REALITY? IF YOU ARE A STUDENT OF EASTERN RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY, THIS MOVIE IS QUITE A HELP TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS "MAYA" OR "MARA". I HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS MOVIE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND EVERY TIME I FIND THE ANSWER TO MISSING LINKS IN MY UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY. THE BEST SCENE IS WHEN NEO VISITS THE ORACLE AND SHE ACTUALLY TELLS THE TRUTH IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY WHICH LATER MORPHIUS CLARIFIES WITH NEO THAT YOU LISTEN TO WHAT YOU WANT TO LISTEN... AND EXACTLY IN THE SAME WAY YOU SEE AND UNDERSTAND IN THIS MOVIE WHAT YOU WANT TO. WHENEVER I AM RELAXED I PUT THIS MOVIE ON AND EVERYTIME I GET SOME INSIGHT.
