Summary: The most original/entertaining sci-fi in decades.
Review: This film is simply the best. I am yet to here anyone say a bad word about it. If you can't appreciate this film in the slightest then there is clearly something wrong with you.However make sure you go in cold, don't let anyone tell you anything about it, do not read extensive reviews, simply go and watch it and be entertained.

Summary: A stylish mess
Review: This film is so dull and boring and is a major dissapointment after the brilliant Dark City. It clunks along at a very slow pace every now and again throwing in a fight sequence to releive the boredom. It tries too hard to be too many things. It never reaches the mythological, adventurous or down rite fascinaiting levels of the four Star Wars movies. Neither does it bring home a "man against machines" message that the Terminator films do. The Matrix looks good just like Keanu Reeves. But like it's star it has nothing to back that up.

Summary: The 2001 (Space Odyssey) of 1999.
Review: This film is so full of symbolism, it can be interpreted in many different ways. If you don't find any meaning at all in this film it says more about you as a person than it does about Keanu's bad acting. The only places this film falls short is in its attempt at pleasing action film junkies.
It is an action film, not an idiot flick.

Review: THIS FILM IS THE BIRTH OF ALL COMPUTER GENERATED GRAPHICS. NO ONE COULD EVER DISAGREE. WHEN THIS FILM FIRST CAME OUT I DONT THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WAS READY FOR WHAT IT SHOULD US. MANY PEOPLE TO THIS DAY STILL DONT UNDERSTAND THIS FILM AND SEEK THE ANSWER IN THE REST OF THE MOVIES. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THIS WOULD BE MY SECOND FAVOURITE MOVIE OUT OF THE TRILOGY. BAD.

Summary: Star Trek of the 90's
Review: This film possess many elements that would appeal to many people, whatever there preference. However, Those of you who enjoy complex stories would see the Matrix as a dramatic step-up from other sci-fi greats such as Star Wars and Star Trek. l believe this to be the case with the Matrix as it feels like a vastly more complicated film than Star Wars and Star Trek, even though it shares many similarities.

Summary: Highly polished and the most exciting film of the 90'.
Review: This film was created for me to love. It's a combination of science-fiction and martial-arts, the two most important things I do in my life.Looking at the film science-fictionaly I have to say the script must have been written with outmost care and heavy thought, and by someone who has read good hard sci-fi before. There are no holes in the theory presented, and that takes thought. Often, when I see a sci-fi film, I find it's flaws in a sec, like the immposiblity of the time-loop in "12 monkies" or even "Back to the future" (Yeah, yeah, I don't take it seriously too). Any way, the sci-fi level of "The Matrix" is very high, and it's nice to watch a film you can feel was made to meet the highest standarts. On the martial-arts side, what can you say? They brought YUEN WOO PING to train the whole cast for 6 months AND do the choreography. Yuen, if you don't know, is one of Hong-Kong's leading directors and choreographers. He is the one that made Jackie Chan a star (in his film "Snake in the eagle's shadow" and later in "Drunken Master"), besides, it's about time that Holywood notice the Hong-Kong action\Martial-arts cinema, and this film is a beautyfull token of aprreciation. Another point to raise is the philosophic one. The questions posed in the film, concerning the nature of reality and how much of what we believe to be reality is objectively real, wo'nt be new to a veteran sci-fi reader (more so if he likes Philip K.Dick), but they are posed very gently and elegantly and they keep attacking the viewer throughout the film, a thing that will make a viewer that is dealing with those questions for the first time to be amazed at this new avenue of thought revealed to him. The acting is excellent, the special effects are amazing, the pace is fast, the overall experience is MINDBLOWING. See this film.
