Summary: It was an awesome move
Review: The movie the Matrix was about a person who had a descent job in the day but at night he was a computer hacker named Neo. Neo wanted to find out what the Matrix was.One night he had fallen asleep and then his computer said follow the white rabbit and then it said ring and the door bell rang at the exact momment.So then he sold a computer chip then the guy said come with us to a party he said no then he saw a girl with a tatoo of a white rabbit on her back. So he went to the party and he met a lady that knew about the matrix.To know about the rest of the movie you'll have to rent it.This is probably one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Summary: Paradigm for a classic film
Review: The movie was incredible. The plot was complete with a sappy but enchanting love story, breathtaking action and fighting sequences, and an edge-of-your-seat climax of twists that led to an orgasmic conclusion of events. The story line had seemingly endless depth that seemed simple to put together, but upon close scrutiny, was a cover for various subplots (some intentional, some are haphazardly conjured up by passionate Matrix freaks like myself). The parallels wih the story of Jesus, for example, seem irrefutable. The cast played their characters to the utmost. Even middle-aged Lawrence Fishburn's (Morpheus) karate scenes were unsettlingly believable. Keanu Reeves (Neo)demonstrated superior martial arts technique (with the help of digitization and wires of course) as well. The screenplay was absolutely riveting. The breakthrough visual effects, like Neo dodging bullets in detailed slow-motion, or the (now hackneyed) "jump-and-remain-in-the-air-while-the-camera-does-a-360 degree-turn-around-the-action" effect, all leave the viewer in a visual and mental bliss. In my honest opinion, the Matrix is the greatest movie of the decade...(yes, its better than that movie too...whatever it was you were thinking isn't nearly as great, trust me). It's one of those movies you watch 50 times and still be able to find some new, integral piece of the story. The best part of the movie is the fact that it is going to be a trilogy. Star Wars eat your heart out.

Summary: The Matrix
Review: The Movie [The Matrix] Contained on the VHS format is excellant,however I am really disapointed about the dvd edition.I recently purchased a dvd player and was blown away by the picture.How ever when I purchased The Matrix I discovered that the only format in which I could watch it in was wide screen.It, for some reason does not give you the option to watch it in both the normal full screen formats and wide screen formats as all my other dvd's .This is very puzzling to me and therefore I have written to Warner re this topic.To me it denies the full appreciation of the movie in DVD with wide screen being your only option.I have a large 57inch projection T.V. but I still can barely see the picture.To me it seems like the boarders encompas more of the screen then the actual picture.My suggestion to future buyers would be that if Warner does not come out with an optional wide and normal full screen format,then stay clear of the DVD version and be content with purchasing the VHS version. T.F.

Summary: A lone star, as a reminder of what is real
Review: The mythical rise of the loner-as-hero which constitutes much of « The Matrix » has certainly attracted its share of reclusive techno-geek types, as the many twists in the plot might have rung a bell or two, encouraging strong identification with the main character ; but, ultimately, the movie carries little food for thought, apart from a bunch of cheapo socio-philosophical concepts thrown together to impress and flatter. The staged rebeliousness, the fight against the « system », the whole concept of the movie is a gigantic smokescreen, a Dr FeelGood sort of thing, that has proven able to keep millions of generous souls soundly asleep, as the world keeps running its reckless course, spinning out of control, like a toy in the hands of a bunch of kids, too stupid and selfish to even bother about anything else than their own amusement. True, the movie is an apt metaphor of our world. But who are the machines ? « them » or us ? « They » are truly human, after all : greedy, arrogant, and utterly senseless. On the other hand, we have become predictable clockwork mechanisms, rushing to get our share of stimuli. So, basically, we are being fed the stuff to keep us quiet. Don't be fooled by it : understand it for what it is. And remember, as Lenin said -and in that case he was quite right-, capitalists will sell us the rope to hang them. The Matrix, which is, for « them », only a money making machine, might well prove to be that rope, if only anyone could see it. Think about those execs summing up sales figures in their cosy offices. Think about that newly released second episode. You've read the raving reviews ; you've seen the crowds, eager to get their share of « action », desperate to know where the story goes ; you've witnessed friends and relatives, hopelessely addicted to sequels. Do you like it like that ? Do you really think you've discovered something ? What is « real » ? So, why not forget about the Wachowskis for a while, and read Chomsky. You should know better.

Summary: A groundbreaking film
Review: The number of features on the DVD make it an absolute must. Very few DVDs available right now take advantage of the possibilities. In terms of seeing what a DVD can do, this is definitely one to buy. The movie itself is stunning. "Bullet-time" scenes, and the speed of action make this a fun movie to watch. Kudos to the Wachowski brothers for taking the risk to make the story a reality.
