Summary: best damn movie I ever seen...
Review: It had the best specialeffects and great soundtrack. It's a possible world, not far from the truth. The directors knew just what they were doing and it showes in the movie, big time. I really don't know what else to say, then I loved it, and It's a movie I surley will buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Knock Knock HAL, Decker & Neo and The Terminator Are Waiting
Review: It didn't take long for cyberspace to fill up with comparisons between The Matrix and Blade Runner - but where are the comparisons to 2001 and The Terminator. When Blade Runner was originally released in 1982, it was considered to be a truly visionary prediction on what the future could hold. We knew that technology would have a profound effect on us, but Rigley Scott's masterpiece envisioned technology embodied in the form of human beings. Blade Runner borrowed the concept of machines struggling to be human from another great science fiction epic of the late 60's, 2001 - A Space Odyssey. Although Kubrick and Scott both demonstrated an incredible sense of foresight, they could not have anticipated how technology would truly develop. James Cameron, who recently sank the Titanic to cash in $$$, also demonstrated vision in the sci-fi/action magnum opus, The Terminator.

Fast-forward 17 years from Blade Runner and The Terminator to 1999 and the birth of The Internet. Andy and Larry Wachowski take Kubrick's original vision plus 30 years of technological innovation and blow past Scott and Cameron to create what should be considered the best science fiction /action movie that Hollywood has ever made. This is a movie that races beyond almost everyone's imagination and the majority of people's comprehension. I have spoken to a number of non-net savvy people about their thoughts on this movie and most have indicated that although the action sequences were great, they weren't really sure what was going on with the plot.

For people who understand the potential impact of the Internet on our society, this movie is generally considered to be a thought-provoking masterwork. When HAL was introduced in 2001, the general public could easily understand the concept of a computer attempting to invoke human emotion. The Terminator's concept of machines displacing/eliminating people was easily understood in the 80's because people started to lose their jobs to technology. Decker's moral conflict on the cold blooded murder of machines challenged the general public to stretch their imagination towards the potential problems created by technology. All three represent relatively easy concepts to understand. The Matrix makes these ideas seem like child's play.

In addition to the profound subject matter, the Wachowski brothers demonstrate an uncanny knack to combine all of the "hip" elements of our culture into one very slick package. Many of the great visionary director styles are demonstrated in this super charged flick. Scenes range from the John Woo's "bullets falling from the sky" and martial arts sequences to David Fincher's dark and foreboding background shots. The characters are all great (Amazingly - Even Keanu Is Good) and the action is relentless. The concept of virtual reality plays perfectly to the suspension of disbelief and this movie soars because of it. If you want to be challanged by a thought provoking concept, this is the total package!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: -Expletive- Amazing
Review: Its just amazing buy it and enjoy it, the plot's clever but turns a bit silly with all this goth dress, but switch off pick up the basic plot.

And be amazed by the shooting. As an action film its superb as a sensible film its not. If like me you prefer deeper films such as la confidential or Young poisoners hand book you'll love it. If you liked the big lebowski youll love it since every one whos seen the big l i know loves the matrix :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest film of all time
Review: The matrix had all the elements of a great film. A well thought out plot, a story that captured your imagination. Action scenes that were creative and well thought out. The best performance by Larry Fishburn and Keeanu Reeves that I have ever seen. Include some great and unique cimematography and non-traditional mood music and this movie becomes the greatest film of all time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent DVD
Review: This is the reason DVD exists. The creators put a lot of effort into it and it pays off. I hope future DVD releases are of this quality. The Dolby Digital track leaves nothing to the imagination. Every casing can be heard hitting the marble floor in the shoot-em-up scene in the building lobby.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: The Matrix is a very cool movie. It has a good plot

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Matrix has special-effects that takes Your breath away.
Review: The Matrix is our worst nightmare. The reality is not real! Our lives are not real! Personally I don't like Keanu Reeves that much, but he is actually quite brilliant in this incredible motion picture. He plays the naive but skillful computerfreak, who earns his money in a not all legal way. Soon he finds himself involved with a group of people, which claims to know The Matrix - The Real World. Off course there are also bad guys involved, and this is probably the meanest lot I have ever seen. The Matrix is in no way ordinary, and that is what makes it so incredible - You will either love it or hate it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best available for special effect junkies
Review: I've watched it three times so far. The effects are some of the best i've ever seen. The storyline is thought provoking and kept me glued to my seat. I liked it the first time at the theater, but on my DVD, it's even better because of the facinating extras. BUY THIS DVD NOW.
