Rating: Summary: One of the best of the year Review: The Matrix is one of this years best movies.This movie has jaw dropping special effects that will amaze anyone.You won't know what the "Matrix" is until half way through but it is a great ride.
Rating: Summary: Make sure you keep the volume down! Review: The Matrix is one of those films that make you ask your neighbor, "What do you think is going to happen next?" I avoided all previews of the movie, and thankfully, I was surprised right up to the end. The only problem I had with the movie, I recieved complaints from my upstairs neighbors about the volume during the 10 minute gun-fiesta scene! Fortunately, when I showed them the scene (at a decreased volume) they asked me to start the movie all over again!
Rating: Summary: The red pill or the blue pill? Review: The Matrix is one of those great movies that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. There is out-of-this world action sequences, excellent story, and likable and hatable characters throughout. It tells the story of Neo(Keanu Reeves) who is searching for the meaning of the Matrix. A group of people who have been looking for him reveal the secrets of the Matrix much to his disbelief. I won't say much more because this movie needs to be seen to be understood. At times a little confusing, this is a truly great movie. What everybody remembers about this movie is the action sequences which are truly great. The scene where Neo and Trinity enter the Agent's building is one of the best gunfights ever put on screen. Also, the performances in the movie are above average. Keanu Reeves is very good as Neo with Laurence Fishburne giving a great role as Morpheus, the mysterious leader. Carrie-Ann Moss is excellent as Trinity, the main female role in the movie. Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith steals the show as the character bent on destroying the others. The DVD is good, but not great. There are some good featurettes, a good documentary, and interesting commentary, but so much more could have been done with this great movie. For action fans everywhere, go watch this movie!
Rating: Summary: killer movie Review: The Matrix is one of those movies that defines what DVD is all about - incredible action and sound, not to mention a pretty good story line and direction. The Matrix gets a spot in the home DVD library because you can watch it over and over.
Rating: Summary: A favourite of mine Review: The Matrix is one of those movies that is either loved or despised. The story is a pretty ordinary tale of a person who is unaware that he is destined to save humanity. (Keanu Reeves is excellent as a man who is never quite sure what is going on.) The setting is imaginative and well portrayed, although not groundbreaking. The special effects, however, most certainly are. The DVD contains a behind-the-scenes look at how those freeze 'em then spin 'em in the air scenes were created. I'm still not completely sure why, but the combination of special effects and original setting goes to make this movie compulsive viewing.
Rating: Summary: Don't Forget To Take Your Red Pill Review: The MATRIX is one of those movies that, based on the theatrical trailer, I didn't quite no what to think about the movie. I was intrigued enough to buy my ticket and see what it was all about. In the end, as almost everyone knows, the film turned out to be one of the provocative science fiction films ever produced. Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) is drawn into a new reality, where, nothing is as it seems. He is told by a being called Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne), that the real world is an illusion, and that the deception is being fostered by all powerfull machines, that control our true destiny, that we must now fight for, to reclaim. The MATRIX is what I like to call, smart sci-fi, that doesn't "dumb down" its audience. Sure, there's plenty of action, and cool visuals, but all of this eye candy is backed up by an interesting premise. Written & Directed by the Wachowski Brothers, the film is a feast for the eyes and the mind, that will leave you wanting more. I can't wait for the second and third films in this trilogy to come out. When I bought my first DVD player some 3 and a half years ago, the MATRIX, was among the first discs that I purchased. The disc is packed with extras. There's so much bonus material that it took me quite a bit of time to go through it all. It is one of the most comprehensive discs available. Aside from everything that you might expect, in the way of extras, there are "hidden" features as well. If that weren't enough, there's also a wealth of DVD-ROM content on this disc, for you to enjoy ***** stars
Rating: Summary: WEIRED! Review: THE MATRIX IS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES YOU HAVE TO SEE ABOUT 6 TIMES TO FULLY UNDERSTAND! GREAT ATING, ACTION, SPECIAL-EFFECTS, SLOW MOTION SEQUENCES!
Rating: Summary: sorry about the violence Review: The Matrix is one tough film and it had the foundation (Act 1 and 2 )to blow you away. However Act 3 falls short with the same old solutions of violence and fear. "Dark City" takes us to another level and Matrix could have gone to another level far beyond but did not. I look forward to seeing more from the minds of these directors. It is a great film and they will only get better.
Rating: 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: Summary: The greatest sci-fi movie ever Review: The Matrix is perhaps the most original sci-fi movie that has come out in a very long time since the first 'Star Wars' movie. The plot has profound themes about humans and computers. But the movie's sophisticated and immense theme makes the viewer want to see it twice in order to understand every detail behind every scene. At first, the intensity of the story line appears difficult to grasp. But as the viewer inmerses into the plot, the movie almost seems belieavable enough to the point of making us wonder if something similar to this could really happen some day. But as Morpheus said: "Unfortunately, No one can be told what The Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."
