Rating: Summary: An instant classic Review: This action maked movie takes a different perspecive on our life. They say we were taken over by machines and now we are plugged in the matrix to keep us happy and to power the machines. Neo was freed from the Matrix and is supposedly "The One". He is the one who can battle the machines and free the human race. Though the movie ends where you find out that he actually is the one. A great movie that needs a sequal. I highly reccommend this to anybody who doesn't have it yet. If you have a DVD player this is a must have.
Rating: Summary: The best sci-fi movie of 1999 by far Review: This action packed movie is one of the best sci-fi movies to come along. A smart theme, a great storyline, incredible graphics, one of the best soundtracs since Pi (3.14). The acting is a little bit sloppy, but in any other aspect, this is THE movie of the year.
Rating: Summary: Open your mind... Review: This ain't a Kung-Fu movie. The fighting in the movie is only one part of bigger picture (no pun intended). It's the best movie yet that prompts people to open up their minds and start questioning whats really around them, metaphorically speaking of course...;)The best thing about this movie is that I never got bored, and that's saying a lot. It's a very interesting story with great effects and photography. I'd also recommend picking up the soundtrack...it's one of the best!
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: This blew me away. The final confrontation with the agents in which neo finally masters his abilities is one of those special movie moments you remember for a long long time. If you really liked the ideas in this film, you will DEFINETLY want to learn about lucid dreaming, which also allows you to explore a different reality, just like the matrix does. Amazon.com has several books on this topic.
Rating: Summary: High art in the modest guise of pompous sci-fi action flick Review: This brilliantly crafted movie, while being one of the best and most original action films ever made, touches on important metaphysical questions: How is our destiny determined? What does our success require? How can we each control our own life? Should we concern ourselves with others' expectations of us? Are things really what they seem to be? Maybe everything you know is wrong. Or at least some of it. This movie may get you to think, or else only to have an intensely exciting and fun 2 hours and 16 minutes.
Rating: Summary: Are you living in a dream? Review: This by far is one of the best movies to come out of Hollywood in a very long time. I love it! When it was in theatres my sister and I went to see it, not once, not twice but Four Times! When it was released on video and DVD we knew we had to get it, and believe it or not, we got it on both formats. (We have DVD on our home computer but since the screen is small we also wanted a version we could watch on our large screen T.V. Oh well!) We are definitely hooked on the Matrix. It is action packed and it has a story that leaves you scratching your head and wondering "What if?" long after you see the film. Keanu Reeves was made for the Matrix or perhaps the Matrix was made for Keanu, whatever, the point is that he is perfect in his role as the reluctant hero Neo. Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity is the perfect female role model, she's beautiful, she's feminine, she knows how to take command of a situation and she kicks major you-know-what. The more times I see this movie, the more I grow to love it and the more questions I have. The Wachowski brothers have outdone themselves with this gem of a film and I can hardly wait for parts 2 and 3 to come out in theaters. If you don't own a DVD then you must run out and get one. Although it is OK to see it on video, the DVD version has so much more to offer and the special effects were meant to be seen on a digital format. My only problem, I wish I had a DVD for my T.V.
Rating: Summary: ** THE 1, THE ONLY, THE ORIGINAL ! ** Review: This by far is one of the top movies of all time. The second and 3rd installments don't even come close to the first Matrix. Worth buying ... you could watch this movie over and over again and not get bored. Everytime it comes on tv I watch it. Even my baby boomer mother was blown away by this film and all she likes are old westerns! BUY THIS, OWN THIS AND FREE YOUR MIND!
Rating: Summary: A movie that pushed the barrieers Review: This commercially popular take on the book Nueromancer takes film making to an entirly different level. The complex shots and thrilling action sequences make this one of my favorite movies. The good: The matrix is entertaing with a good story and superb acting. The bad: Keanu Reeves drags at parts and the added love story subplot was un-needed. The ugly: They are already starting The Matrix 2 & 3... sequels never match up to the original. I give it an overall of four. For being a great and intertaing movie that attempts to liberate the mind but falls up short for bowing in to commercialism.
Rating: Summary: It is a breathtaking rolercoaster of action Review: This concept is a very original one and a very interesting one too incorporating not only a physical and mental side to the film but a spiritual one too. It hits you from all angles.
Rating: Summary: Macintosh DVD-ROM Users DO NOT BUY THIS DVD! Review: THIS DVD ALLEGES TO BE COMPUTER FRIENDLY - HOWEVER, READ THE FINE PRINT ON THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE PACKAGE.

FACTORY INSTALLED DVD-ROM DRIVES WILL REPORT AN ERROR IN THE ENCODING OF THE DISC.
