Summary: MATRIX
Review: If you do not appreciate the matrix with the utmost sincerity, then you truly do not understand the matrix, and even if you do, there's a high chance that you do not fully understand either. This, of course, is not to say that I completely understand myself. The Matrix redefines cinema and bridges the gap between film and reality. To call it a rip off is a baseless insult to those who are 5000 times more seeing and visionary than yourself. Bravo to the Boys.

Summary: NOOOOOOT BAAAAD!
Review: If you're a fan of the hit movie "THE MATRIX" you have GOT to own this DVD. It goes even deeper down the rabbit hole than ever thought imaginable to give us an insight of the inner working of the brothers Wachowski's brain.These two fine fellows have a magical way of bringing their ideas to reality and I take my hat off to them. The enthusiasm they generate rubs off on all the cast and crew and I wait with bated breath for the next two Matrix movies. This is going to be the trilogy to top all trilogies. I love getting all the background information ~ conceptual, musical, editorial, graphical and the makers of The Matrix have outdone themselves with providing everything the avid fan wants and they also dangle the carrot before our eyes with what's to come. The cast went through "merry" hell to deliver the goods on this movie and KUDOS to you, especially Keanu Reeves who for most of the time was recovering from neck surgery. I agree with all and sundry and this film should have got more Oscar nods, but let's hope that The Academy do not fail next time to give credit to whom it is long overdue for the amazing piece of filmaking that is The Matrix. I would also add that I am very pleased that they included what the fans are saying because this film has generated fandom as never before. I would have liked to have been involved more with the international get together's and friendship this movie has made for the fans out there. Congratulations to "KYOTE", "KIRA", "AKS" and "LUCID DREAM" for getting their perspective out there. VERY WELL DONE!!

Summary: The fil is great but this pack is not worth the price.
Review: Ok, the movie is GREAT, I love it, but this edition did not satisfy my. The dvds are just the same that were released previously, the film and the matrix revisited. No extras, no deleted scenes ( I believe there are none though :) ), no extra making of... Pay more than the lord of the rings - the fellowship of the ring, that even come with the statues, and 5 DVDs, 2 only for the movie, with great compression quality and dts sound. they could at least reencoded the film and removed the documentary from the movie dvd, saving space for better video quality, using more disc space. There are no other languages, but english, both for audio and subs. I regret payin 90 buck for a fake film frame, tha not even has dolby digital sound printed on it, like the Star wars episode 1 vhs special edition had. PLEASE buy the normal combo: the matrix and the matrix revisited, its the same thing for much less money.

Summary: OK! Be a sap
Review: The Bros. Wachowski (aided by the secret people who control things) take the basic story line of the life, both past and future (as recorded in Revelation, Daniel, and the 4 Gospels) of Jesus, rewrite the characters a bit, add some great special effects, add LOTS, and I mean LOTS of schmootz, and even more creative arrogance (and license), and shake it, up until it just barely looks like plagiarism, take out a ton of difficult to deal with matter, garnish with contemporary nonsense, and voila...You have The Matrix. These guys get rich and laugh all the way to the bank while you work your 9 to 5 and believe with all your heart that they are geniouses. If you just have nothing more to waste money on, go for it, but understand that the Hollywood crowd has discovered new ways to milk BILLIONS from the very foolish viewing public.

Summary: The Revolution
Review: The Matrix redefined the movies and has been copied to no end. Perfect in every sense: acting, story, depth and effects. Phylosophically deep to the point of spawning several books and essays on it's study. Ignore second and third parts.

Summary: Absolutely Amazing
Review: This film is simply one of the best films I have ever seen...add the amazing gift things (high quality slipcase, 35mm image in frame, etc.) which I'm always a sap for, and you get simply the best "Matrix" version out there. Plus there's the indispensable "Matrix Revisited" DVD, which has great insight into how they made the film, plus info about the upcoming ones (Matrix 2 and 3). I can't recommend this enough. If you're buying this (which you should, definitely), and you're into the psychology part of it (reality vs. simulated reality, etc.), then buy these as well: "Simulacra and Simulation (The Body, in Theory: Histories of Cultural Materialism)" by Jean Baudrillard "Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems and the Economic World" by Kevin Kelly "Introducing Evolutionary Psychology" by Dylan Evans; et al "The Matrix and Philosophy: Welcome to the Desert of the Real (Popular Culture and Philosophy, V. 3)" by William Irwin Oh, and a Merry Christmas to you all. :-)
