Summary: Great movie - Wrong Format
Review: The story line of this movie is great and very original. Very entertaining. The action is non stoping and the visual effects are unsurpassed. I found a problem with the movie which is also common to many other movies on DVD: the anamorphic format. this format which is not standard 4:3(standard format) or 16:9 (true wide screen)make the faces to appear squeezed and unnormal. Perhaps it is time that the editors think more in the integrity of the movie than in their desired to show more movie en less space. For great entertainment I recommend The Matrix.

Summary: Visually Stunning !
Review: The storyline provided the vehicle for an absolutely visually stunning movie. Special Effects provided a part of the thrill but the Blade Runner-eqse film-noir is nearly as equally stunning.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Matrix
Review: The title of the video that I like is The Matrix. One reason that I like The Matrix is that it has computerized graphics in it. The second reason is because it is awesome and also they go to two different worlds. The third reason is because it has a cool movie star, Keanu Reeves. He is awesome in this movie. If you like action movies you'll get his movie.

Summary: Coppertopped, but not quite Duracel
Review: The true test of any movie is how it fairs after you have watched it several times - and on this count "The Matrix" just doesnt have the necessary staying power to make it an enduring Sci-fi classic. This is a shame, as Larry Fishburne's performance as Techno-sage Morpheus is truly mesmeric, a kind of Kung Fu Obi Wan Kenobi sans light-sabre. Its Reeves' lifeless (yet accurate?) potrayal of a Hacker which does the most damage to the film, but the blatant disregard for the laws of physics at the start of the film before the viewer is made aware that this isn't the 'real' world but is a computer-generated one could also put some people off. But hey, its not all bad news as the action scenes are eminently watchable, and any film that can succeed in making hacking/hackers look interesting must have something going for it.

Summary: In the same league with Dune.
Review: The W. Brothers? Who are they? Now, I know!! Their sci-fi movie is worthy to be placed in the same league as Dune, which prior to this movie was the best I've seen on the screen or anywhere! Although it's another version of Disney's Tron, it goes much further into the possibilities of what truth is actually about and who may be controlling your idea of it in the not too distant future! Fact is, our reality today is just about the way it is in the movie except for the software mirage the movie poses - or does it? It has me wondering! I'm watching it at least 2 more times. Something I don't do hardly anymore.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: The Wachowski Brothers are phenomenal keeping you gripped to the living room sofa throughout the whole movie, with special effects so good it really brings out the kid in you and brilliant acting especially from Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus. After seeing the film 18 times I really want to go out there and buy a pair of sun glasses, the Nokia 7110 Mobile phone (its not exactly the same but still) and a large leather jacket then sit and wait for the sequel

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 'The Matrix'- A TRUE Classic
Review: The Wachowski Brothers are surely brilliant. 'The Matrix' practically created the Bullet-Time genre, in which was spoofed by over 20 movies, yet this movie does it the best. The gut-pounding action is great, and the special effects are superb. The visuals are absolutely stunning. Though this is only their second directing ('Bound' being their first,) 'The Matrix' breaks so many boundaries, and is hands-down one of the greatest, no, IS the greatest Sci-Fi film of all time. I really do not see how this plot can be so 'confusing'. Begin Summary: A man, named Thomas A. Anderson leads another life as a hacker named Neo. He realizes that he has been living in an artificially created world known as 'The Matrix'. He meets the one and only Morpheus, who sends him to the real world. There, he finds out that when A.I. was invented, the machines needed solar energy to live because they were fighting with the humans, so this is how 'The Matrix' was created. Neo and other freed members must fight and destroy 'The Matrix' so the human race can be free. End Summary. Simple as that. Now if people just followed the story line and PAID ATTENTION, they would get the plot. I pretty much love this film from start to finish, and the soundtrack is great. If you're a Sci-Fi fan, make sure to pick this up on DVD with awesome features. And there's only two weeks left until 'Reloaded'...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Welcome to the "REEL" World: Where the Medium IS the message
Review: The Wachowski brothers certainly have a handle on the art of filmmaking for the new millennium! 15 or 20 years in the future, aplethora of both historical and imaginary virtual world venuesavailable at your fingertips, via your virtual reality headgear, youwon't be asking yourself, once immersed in the world of your choosing,"Wait, how did I get here and why am I here?"

MATRIXillustrates just how insightful and prophetic Marshall McLuhan'sassertion "The Medium is the message" has proved to be! DoesMatrix glorify violence? Is it really original? Does it border onblasphemous? Most of the discussion and critique of MATRIX really seemto miss the point entirely. MATRIX is the essence and epitome ofstyle...not substance.

Through a seamless symbiotic blending ofdiverse visual and auditory elements, most notably the 360ยบ sequentialsurround photography of artfully choreographed and precisely executedhuman action scenes, the Wachowski's have achieved a truere-definition of the cinematic experience, on their ownterms. Engaging, engrossing and bombarding your senses with theirsignature style, ultimately transporting you to a virtual world muchmore convincing than any drug-induced one.

MATRIX clearly speaks tous in a newly formatted cinematic language. My recommendation: Putaside any negative preconceived notions and just listen.
