Summary: AWESOME IN-YOUR-FACE CYBER-PUNK THRILLER
Review: Eye-popping special effects. Amazing Doby audio. A surprisingly deep, disturbng and meaningful plot. High-value extra features for both your DVD-player and your DVD-Rom drive.The movie lends itself to Kung-Fu, Science Fiction, Cyberpunk and ala-Hackers movies, and imitates them all very well. The Matrix is godsend for those of you who love their action movies thick and fast with that little hint of intelligence. As testament to this, The Matrix grossed nearly US$500 million in the American box-office last year. The world as we see it is 'not really as it seems'. Instead, we are part of an alternate, simulated world; reality is alot darker than it seems. Keanu Reeves is outstanding as Neo, the person whom the story revolves around. To reveal anything more concerning the plot would spoil the movie. Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus) and Carrie Ann-Moss (trinity) also play their parts very well. The directors and the production team also deserve high praise for the superb camera work and sounds (they won several Academy Awards). The first viewing of The Matrix may be puzzling because of the complications involved in the story-line and script, but the second viewing really does reveal and uncover anything you may have overlooked the first time. Buy The Matrix to show your friends why you bought your DVD-player. Not only will they be impressed by the effects, the above-average acting and the camera-work, but they will be left genuinely puzzled by the enigmatic story. The Matrix is a smashing film on a smashing DVD, and for viewers who are will to allow for some creative-license and a reprise from more serious films, The Matrix is a must-buy. Also recommended (although totally unrelated): Aving Private Ryan, The Truman Show, Bladerunner, The Godfather, Philadelhpia

Summary: A Chilling Vision
Review: Fans of writers Phil Dick and William Burroughs will love the paranoia deep at the heart of this stylish movie. With a palette whose major color is a weird shade of black-green, the Wachowski brothers have made an intelligent, thought-provoking action flick -- a genuine rarity. Oh, there's one too many action cliches, and Keanu Reeves' acting is as close to dead as you'll see onscreen, but there's a lot to like here too. I'm especially fond of the way the script slowly unfolds our understanding, rather than trying to lay it all out for us, and the look of the movie is as close to genuine cyberpunk as anyone's yet come. The DVD has lots of extras, but a lot of them are empty fluff ("Are You the One?" -- now really!) and about half are accessible only on a computer with DVD capability, not on your standard DVD player. Still, you can't go wrong with The Matrix if you like intelligent sf, moody action, or witty paranoia.

Summary: Great idea!
Review: Fantastic idea..maybe even a little too close for comfort! But shame about the film, mediocre acting,very ordinary photography ( I was hoping for something on a par with bladerunner here )....a B movie with ingenious special effects....Edward Muybridge must be smiling to himself up there!

Summary: Best ever - Saw it THREE times in theaters!
Review: Fantastic movie with superb special effects. Keanu Reeves plays an intelligent, wide-eyed, computer geek/lad destined to save the world with an air of Zen-like calm and quietly spoken power. The plot is incredible, drawing you into it until you have no choice but to keep watching. Ever hear the phrase about the abyss looking into you? This movie fits it to a 'T'. You'll finish the movie with many more 'what if's' than you had when you turned it on. Terrific special effects, great lines, and bad guys whom you love to hate. GREAT!

Summary: Awsome special effects and storyline
Review: Fantastic Storyline. Actors were chosen very well for the parts they played. Easy to get wrapped up in this movie. It leaves you with the feeling that you cannot wait to reach this level of technology for real. The amount of control you have while being projected into a program and having control over your surroundings, is very hypnotic. I hope I live long enough to see a game that gives you these capabilities !!
