Summary: The most exhilirating movie I've ever seen1
Review: The Matriz is a non-stop ride. The way the effects moe smoothly across the screen and you can barely tell that they aren't real is amazing. This movie ranks up there with Star Wars as one of the best sci-fi movies of all time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best movie i've ever seen
Review: The Matriz is the best movie i have ever see, and i've seen a lot of movies! the special effects were amazing, the actors were great, the plot was ingenious, i loved it, the thought that we might be living in a dream outside of real life is amazing, i loved it, and it gets better every time i see it! i loved it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ThIs Is ThE bEsT mOvIeS oUt ThErE
Review: The Matrx is the best movie ever made. The whole scenes about the guns and martial arts are the best. WB made a great job of making the movie from the beginning to the end. It deserves 5 stars straight out....maybe even 5 1/2 who knows? hehehehehe

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: You are the battery
Review: The media is the matrix. The Wachowskis control it today. You are the stupid little battery/powersource that feeds Hoolywood and makes them billionaries. If you want to make a revolution, don't but the video/dvd or see the matrix movies - if you have the power. But I suspect you don't.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: hidden message
Review: The message is hidden so deep.It's too hard to understand it.
People just see the amazing pictures.But the real idea is failed to be deliverd.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great action flick!!!
Review: The mixture of a cyberpunk story with Hong Kong style action makes for a fun movie. I think Laurence Fishburne and Carrie-Anne Moss are great (and Keanu isn't too shabby either). Only drawback is that the DVD commentary is a bit on the weak side...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Keeps getting better
Review: The more you watch this dvd, the better it gets. There is so much in it that you miss alot the first few times. Definitely a keeper. Can't wait for the sequel.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DVD doesn't work on all players
Review: The morons that produced this hack of a title has chosen to infect it with more unplayable bugs, that it's blowing up on MANY DVD players including Pioneer, Samsung, GE, Phillips, Toshiba and many others.

Perhaps someday they'll decide that this is a movie format and not some excuse to over-trick out someone's player into the trashpile. Until then the format is dodgey at best. And now? It's unplayable - a nice bookend of a release awaiting an upgrade to my DVD player as dictated by some production nerds at Warner Brothers.

frigging joy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PERFECT IN ALL AREAS
Review: The most accurate "barometer" of MATRIX is my wife's enthusiam about this movie. Ordinarily, she can't stand techno/science fiction films. She turns her nose up at action-adventure movies. In fact, her idea of a good movie is a documentary like PANAMA DECEPTION or ROGER AND ME. So when I imposed MATRIX on her it was impressive to see how she responded to the artistry embedded in the special effects that make this film so special. Like me, she loved it.

Directors Andy and Larry Wachowski do a superb job of sqeezing every ounce of the considerable talents from Laurence Fishburne who plays Morpheus, and Keanu Reeves playing Neo. Only Neo can save the world from cosmic evil, and he doesn't know it. After finding him, Morpheus must find a way to get Neo to accept not only the awsome responsibilty of saving the world from a cosmic evil, but do so by unleashing powers that Neo cannot, at first, believe he possesses. [Perhaps this too is a metaphor for the classical notion, there is more capacity in each of us than we know]. The daytime, computer hacking Neo is recruited by Trinity (played with great drama by the severly punk gorgeous Carrie-Anne Moss). Morpheus is a sort of prophet-leader of those who can flow between an electronic ether and the so-called real world.

Underneath the well choreographed, costumed and incredible sets in which the cyberspace action-adventure is played out there flows a commentary on the banality and annonymity of modern urban life. We the audience are permitted to observe the action and violent pursuit of the characters against a strange backdrop of the mundane world ... the world outside of our living rooms and theaters. Everyday life on the street goes on routinely and monotonously as the forces of good and evil do battle all around "us": on the streets, in subways and down back alleys ... and in the electronic fields that surround our everyday life.

MATRIX is more than a feast for the eyes expanded by a brain message. It is science fiction theater at its best!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: incomprehensible
Review: The most incomprehensible plot since 'Mission Impossible'. I mean, what the hell is going on? How dare they subject us to this? The only nice thing I can say about the movie is Laurence Fishburn's voice & diction. Otherwise, awful!
