Summary: The must see movie of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I thought that the Matrix was one of the best movies I have ever seen. It has everything thing in it. The movie is packed with action, jammed with mind boggling details(I'm still trying to figure out some of the mysteries), and has a deep side (almost spiritual) to it were it isn't only violence. I also appreciated to cleanliness of the movie in the fact that it didn't have much swearing or any sex at all. It is one of the best all around movies of this decade. A MUST SEE!!!

Summary: Ender's Awesome Review
Review: I thought that this movie was awesome! I never was able to see it in the theatres, but when I rented it, it literally blew me out of my seat! The special effects are the latest availible and the storyline keeps you guesing until the end. I especially liked the guns. They were cool.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great story, and effects
Review: I thought that this was one of the best if not THE best movies that I'd seen in a long time. It was fully entertaining, along similar lines as Blade, but without the bloodsuckers...In short, it was a great entertaining movie with a decent plot and if you don't delve too deeply to find a great plot, you won't be disappointed

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Maybe an age gap?
Review: I thought the acting and special effects were very good, but I am still trying to figure out if I wasted a couple of hours or not. Everyone I know under 30 loves this movie, everyone over 30 isn't really sure if they like it or not. The entire premise of the movie is kind of hokey.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cypher had a point....
Review: I thought the movie I saw on the screen reflected accurately the movie I saw in my head as I read the screenplay. After seeing the movie start to finish at the theater and on video, I watched it scene by scene reading the screenplay for each scene beforehand. I was surprised at how close each scene on the screen was to each scene in the screenplay. It was also interesting to see how the mood of each scene, for both place and characters, was translated so accurately by the directors from the written word to the image on the screen. The dialogue on the screen was also very close to the dialogue in the screenplay.

This movie seemed to have a strong plot that took an unnerving premise and developed it through good storytelling using bigger-than-life characters that the audience could still relate to in some way. The action scenes, while dramatic and forceful, did not seem to get in the way of the development of either the plot or the characters.

The only thing I would liked to have seen is an acknowledgement by the protagonist (Neo), or one of his comrades (in reflective exposition by Morpheus perhaps), that Cypher had a valid point. Cypher's point that life in the Matrix for him could be a better choice than "real" life outside it. The price of that choice is, in effect, slavery but it is a price that after nine years of "reality" with Morpheus he was anxious to pay. Extending that thinking, it's clear that many other humans would share his view and create something of a problem for the resistance is "freeing" humans, some of whom would not want to be freed from the Matrix.

This idea was alluded to briefly by Morpheus when he told Neo that many people would have difficulty being freed from the Matrix and some would never give it up. I just thought that some acknowledgement by these freedom fighters that freedom was a relative thing for Cypher and, by extension much of humanity, would be a point worth developing. We often hold onto belief systems that have little support in the real world simply because we find comfort in them.

The fiction wraps around an idea that forces us to look at and question not only our beliefs but our reasons for holding those beliefs. This is uncomfortable for many of us. Especially if the belief system questioned is a spiritual one. It is an idea that should be thought about, not dismissed for minor plot points.

The plot point about batteries, I think that was merely an anology used within the context of the plot to explain the role humans had come to play in the new order - they were serving machines, rather than the reverse - and were doing so through the bio-technology, if you will, of their bodies that is more efficient than any mechanical device made by man or machine at that time in the context of the story. I believe that the exposition explaining this came from Morpheus to Neo early in Neo's awakening as a voiceover to the "human harvesters" scene doing their gathering of human infants from the fields.

It was a well-written, well-directed, and stunning movie at both the visual and auditory levels with a compelling idea - that our reality is what our brains tell us it is - and that reality, and our beliefs that are built on it, can be shaped for us by someone else for their own ends.

Whomever greenlighted this, I'm glad they did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent
Review: I thought the movie was a very rude awakening to what could be true. De ja vue. It was well thought out and well planned as to cover up everything that the matrix could be. Very good movie.
