Summary: Exciting
Review: The Matrix starring Keanu Reeves and Lawrence Fishburne is the absolute epitome of "the" science fiction thriller. Neo (Reeves) is the reigning computer hacker in search of what is called the Matrix. He has been trying to make contact with a man by the name of Morpheus (Fishburne) to get clarity on the search. What Neo discovers, however, is that the Matrix is something that he was always a product of and never knew it. It is not until he is "unplugged" that he discovers he has been living in a dream world. He uncovers the gruesome truth that the Matrix was plugged into his brain and was sending images to make him believe that life existed as it was. He then becomes a superhuman machine with all sorts of sensational abilities and powers after adapting to a "new" system that was not based on rules. This is an exciting film with superb action sequences. The martial arts in this movie are absolutely explosive! I must reiterate that this film is "the" empitome of a classic science fiction thriller. It takes our fantasy to a higher level with pure ecstasy as its climax. The Matrix should secure a slot in everyone's DVD collection. Pure excitement! Kudos!!

Summary: Good effects is never enough
Review: The Matrix starts like an interesting story, but bad acting and script holes which would drive any educated person mad kills it. The script was written by someone who has no knowledge of laws of thermodynamics. I wish I could talk about that more without giving out anything of the movie... Add the great(!) acting of Keanu Reeves: and you have a good comedy with great visual effects. How can a professional actor not be able to say a decent "wow"? Look for that while watching and...

Have fun!

Summary: Hard to understand, bad concept.
Review: The Matrix starts off faast and gradually gets slower and slower to the point when you say, what the heck is going on. Sure the story is um...intersting but overall I was just disapointed in the end. Felling that I wanted more. The special features kept me busy, but unless your buying this for the special features look somewhere else.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best action film ever made.
Review: The Matrix sucks you in,turns you around and around until you dont know whats happening and unfortunately when it gets over it spits you out.Whoa.The Matrix is ultimately my favorite movie,Keanu Reeves is at his best playing hacker Neo,who isnt so sure about "reality".He meets the man that can explain to him what reality is,that man is Morpheus a leader in the real world,he explains to Neo that the world Neo lives in isnt real,but is actually a computer system built to enslave humans(once again,whoa).Now let me explain hopw good this movie is,critics praised it,people praised it,it won over twenty awards world wide.It was nominated for four Academy Awards,and took them all home(they are best visual effects,sound effects,film editing,and sound effects editing,whoa).The Matrix is a movie you have to watch over and over again to undertsand,and it ultimately is a powerhouse of a movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stunningly original.
Review: The Matrix surprised everyone in 1999 by being so utterly brilliant. A truly original film, it had a similar sort of impact to when Star Wars came out in 1977. (Incidentally, the Phantom Menace came out at the same time, but the Matrix more than held its own.) Written and directed by the Wachowski brothers, the Matrix is seemingly set in the present day, where Thomas Anderson, played by Keanu Reeves, lives an ordinary life by day, and is a computer hacker by the name of Neo at night. His night-time activities bring him into contact with a mysterious person named Morpheus (Laurence Fishbourne). Anderson discovers that reality as he knows it at the end of the twentieth century is an elaborate sham, a hoax. His world is simply the Matrix; in the real world, he, and the rest of humanity, are in bondage, enslaved by a malevolent artificial intelligence. The film follows Anderson's dramatic discovery of the real world, and ultimately, a dramatic discovery concerning himself. The film is set up for at least one sequal, but works well as a single independent film. The screen effects are unprecendented in their brilliance, and are enough on their own to keep you on the edge of your seat. Besides that however, the story is fascinating, and the script very appropriate. Keanu Reeves is not the greatest of actors, but he plays to his strengths here, highlighting the vulnerability of Neo. Fishbourne is very cool as Morpheus, and newcomer Carrie Anne-Moss supports them excellently as Trinity. The film is complicated enough to be difficult to condense into a review, and exciting enough for me not to want to spoil it by going into great detail; it simply demands to be watched.
