Summary: The Undisputed Heavy Weight Champ of the World!
Review: I wish Amazon would allow "10" Stars! Hands down, The Matrix is the greatest science fiction movie of all time. Need i say more? It has it all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I wish there were 10 stars...
Review: I wish there were ten stars availiable to give this action packed thriller! I don't really care for Keanu, but in this movie, it doesn't matter. I would have been great no matter who was in the cast. But on another note, the cast did an excellent job in this film. The effects alone are worth the your time. I cant wait to see the second one! I give this movie a ten!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Alpha and Omega of DVD
Review: I won't bore you about the plot details of "The Matrix," except that I'll say that it is a first-rate action/sci-fi film. However, what you DO need to know is that this DVD sets the standard for ALL DVD releases: immaculate picture, bass-heavy 5.1 surround sound, and a wealth of features that will have you glued to the set for hours. If you're looking to start a DVD collection, "The Matrix" should be your first purchase.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Alright DVD
Review: I won't comment on the movie, except to say that it is horribly overrated.

The DVD is pretty good when it comes to the tech side. Great picture and fantastic sound. A boring commentary and some behind the scenes stuff. No trailers, which is becoming a very disturbing trend on DVD's.

A decent DVD, I just wish people would quit touting this DVD as revolutionary. Many SE's came out before this with many more features.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Fast-paced, cliche-ridden ride
Review: I won't deny it: I enjoyed the Matrix. It's a fun film. It's got great special effects, quick pacing, and a compelling story-line. In the end, though, it's nothing more than a fast-paced action flick with high production values but no substance or meaning, wooden acting, and a lack of original ideas. The story is stylish but cliched: A dystopian future run by machines, the search for a prophecided messiah, a ragged band of rebels fighting against the system, reality as a work of fiction, the choice between an idyllic life in slavery or a tortuous life in freedom--we've seen all of these before, just never with so many guns and black coats.

The special effects are great, the action is quick-paced, and the story is fun to follow, but that's about as deep as this movie gets. It is an expensive, mindless blockbuster, hardly the beginning of a brilliant, inspired mythology for the new millenium.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a DVD should be.
Review: I won't fill this review with a summary of the movie, or with a feeble attempt at criticism. If you are interested in buying the DVD, you have probably already seen the movie, and been captivated by either the special effects, or the paradox of virtual reality.

This DVD package - which includes several "making of" documentaries as well as commentary on the music and special effects - is what a DVD should be. They allow a causal viewer to see the movie in the way it was intended, and allow the fan(atic) to watch what went on behind the scenes. If you are a music buff like me, the commentaries on the score are especially cool. Best of is the "white rabbit" setting, which allows you to view some behind the scene footage in the context of the movie. All of the extras are outstanding - certainly worth the price of the DVD alone.

If you loved the Matrix, get the DVD - even if you don't have a DVD player. You probably will have one eventually, and when you do, this is the disk you are going to want to slip in first. Trust me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!!
Review: I won't lie to you - I've seen many, many movies in my life, but this one takes the cake. The Matrix is by far the best movie I have ever seen in my entire life. The non-stop action mixed with drama and suspense is a killer, and the plot line keeps moving at a very fast pace. I went back to see it again, and found that there were many things I had missed the first time. Even if you do not like action movies, you will love The Matrix. Also, despite popular opinion, this movie is NOT gory at all. There is very little blood shown, except for one or two scenes. The plot line also really gets you thinking. I'm not saying that any of that is REAL, but it at least makes you think about it. I left the movie the first time with adrenalin pumping through my veins and an unimaginable about of ideas going through my head. And Carrie Ann Moss - she's hot, she's spontaneous, she's an awesome actress, and she is a major contributing character to both the plot and the action of the movie - what more can I say? Keanu Reeves has another great part in this movie, and the Agents - what can I say? They're cunning, ruthless, and very well played. The entire movie is phenomenal - I assure you, you will not get bored. If you've already seen this movie, see it again. If you haven't seen it yet, WHAT ARE YOU DOING READING THIS!? GO SEE IT! I would definitely recommend this movie in any format you can get - I'm planning on getting it in DVD, VHS, and anything else I can (maybe two copies in case one breaks). I don't know how else to describe this movie, so I'll say it again - THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE! Watch it and, whoever you may be, you will not be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST for Kung-fu-Sci-fi junkies!
Review: I won't mince words here... I REALLY enjoyed this movie. If you like loads of guns, Chinese-action theater, and effects...you will LOVE this movie. DVD owners will be impressed!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The real Phantom Menace!
Review: I wonder if George Lucas saw this little gem of a movie coming. Not only did it steal some of its thunder, it stole some of its box office preventing it from beating Lost World in opening weekend stakes!

What! How could a film hosting Keanu's brilliant acting abilitys steal some of 'The Phantom Menace's' thunder. I'll tell you why! Breath-taking action and fight sequences, amazingly cheesy dialogue. Yes, you got it in one! Even cheesier than the dialogue found in 'The Phantom Menace.'

One major problem, maybe the action scenes are too few and the explanation of the matrix too many. I find now, when I watch it, I fast forward to all the action sequences cos lets face it. Everything else about the film on second watching is boring!

On a whole, this film is a well-polished little gem that sneaked up unawares on the public just like in the story of 'The Tortoise and the Hare!'

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: AWFUL!
Review: I wonder why I even went to see this movie.....I was told it had a good plot but after watching it for over 2 hrs, all I could see was special effects......I couldn't figure out the plot because this movie was so weird and all it was was visuals and people fighting in fights that I didn't even know what they were fighting about! I couldn't believe I saw this movie....what an utter bore!
