Rating: Summary: Kick-Butt Extras! Review: Not only is THE MATRIX an excellent film (full of many different elements that make it a fun, thrilling, unique creation), THE MATRIX DVD is loaded with so many options that it takes FOREVER to enjoy them all....but I'm not complaining, to say the least....Well worth the money....

Rating: Summary: Bad character development, no plot It could have been great! Review: I enjoyed the special effects of "The Matrix," but that is all. As deep as the plot may appear to be, there actually is none. Many of the story elements are very interesting, unfortunately they never pay-off in the film. We never see Zion, we never see a main villain, we never go anywhere. Neo plays catch-up with the audience the entire first half of the film, which grew on my nerves because I really wanted this film to get moving.The fight scenes are spectacular and original. However, they are also fluff and extraenous to the plot. One of the first rules of a screenwriter is that if a scene does not propel the plot forward, it shouldn't be in the film. But considering how none of the scenes in this film propel the plot forward, I can see how it is easy to miss this fact when it comes to the fight scenes (such as Morpheus kung-fu training Neo). Yes, I am aware that this is planned to be a trilogy now. HOWEVER, there is no way the Wachowski Bros. knew this film would hit it big like it did. they could have hoped and dreamed with all their hearts, but they did NOT leave their script the mess that it is so that they could add on to it with two more movies. Anyone that says the flaws in the film I point out are okay because it's a trilogy is mistaken. If it was true, that is a horrible excuse for this sloppy script. I would be glad to discuss this with all of you "The Matrix" lovers out there, if you'd like. I really wanted to enjoy this film, but there were just too many flaws for me. :(

Rating: Summary: THE MATRIX Review: THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTELY GREAT MOVIE DONT LISTEN TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAID IT STUNK THEY DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A GREAT SCI-FI MOVIE I RECCOMEND THIS TO EVERYONE BUT YOU MAY NOT CARE ABOUT MY REVIEW BECAUSE IM ONLY THIRTEEN BUT IT WAS AWESOME!
Rating: Summary: Dual nature of the movie Review: I loved the movie in the theaters and watching the extras included on the DVD were well worth it. I liked this movie because it is thought-provoking but not overly philosophical, full of action but not "violent," and fun. The movie was also fantasy but also delightfully realistic. I had to watch it five times before I got bored with it.
Rating: Summary: Matrix: Sci-Fi with Bite Review: The Matrix totally rocked! This movie was incredible before I bought the DVD. Once I got the DVD, the thrill was pumped up a few hundred notches! The only reason that I only gave it 4 stars, is because I wish it had been packaged in a plastic KeepCase, and a trailer or two. Some of the TV spots would have been cool, too. Also, why do we have to wait so long for the other two installments of this new movie trilogy? Matrix rules! It's a real-life comic book.
Rating: Summary: Great Action/Sci-Fi Classic Review: Being a sci-fi lover, and living in Sydney, this was one movie that I had to watch. Thankfully it did not dissapoint. The special effects were one in a million (ooooh bullet time, one of the best concieved peices of special effects since Star Wars), as was the acting. Keaunu Reeves was his usual charismatic self (whoah), Laurence Fishburne was brilliant as the mysterious Moebious and local actor Hugo Weaving was brilliant as the evil construct of the Matrix. Seeing Sydney in an International film like this was particularly entertaining, always trying to spot landmarks that we knew and loved was an extra bonus. All in all this movie was an entertaining sci-fi movie, written well and produced on the widescreen (as well as DVD) brilliantly. Recommended for any sci-fi or action lover.
Rating: Summary: The history of future Review: I think this film is a very interesting and exciting. You cannot leave the TV screen until you see the last cadres. It seems to me to be a history of a probable our future.
