Summary: The best action/scifi/conspiricy movie ever
Review: I seen this movie a few weeks ago and I think that the combination of action science fiction with the whole conspiricy thing was MAGNIFICENT. I thought that the special effects in this movie were superb, and that the action sequences were awesome and fast pace. I recomend this movie to anyone that likes action scifi or is just a special effects buff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE MATRIX OR THE WALL PART II
Review: Besides it's superb visual effects & action The Matrix is not one of those empty movies. It tells us not to beleive what we see what we think but try to analyze things from different ways. Plz don't only watch the movie but also Making of Matrix. Its really fun. See how actors, directors & visual effects made a great work. The movie is worth to watch after & after. Everytime you watch you cacth up another thing. Its worth to watch - Its worth to put in your collection. Don't miss it.

Summary: The best movie ever...in all history!
Review: This was absolutely the best movie I have ever seen! The BEST!!!!!!!! The animation and effects were incredible, the plot was magnificent, and did I mention the effects! The best! Kinda long, maybe boring at some times, but great!!!!!! I wish I coulda seen it in the theator!!! Some people say the scenes toward the ends with all the weapons and the black trench coat were the reason for Columbine...blah blah blah...but it was great!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Visually stunning, but Keanu still can't act.
Review: When I went and first saw Jurassic Park for the first time, did I care about the plot line - no. Did I care about the silly lines and the traditional use of scare tactics - absolutely not. I went to see that movie to see the dinosaurs, and I wasn't disappointed.

Such was my feeling when I saw The Matrix. One should not see a Keanu Reeves movie and except superior acting. One should expect action and suspense and awesome special effects. This movie did not disappoint, and the DVD version showcased each effect superbly. I especially enjoyed the "white rabbit" feature (buy it and you'll know what I'm talking about!). Those who are looking for incredible, state-of-the-art special effects and great action and martial arts sequences - and nothing more - will be more than pleased.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A real winner for SciFi fans, especially those into VR
Review: If you're a SciFi VR enthusiast, DON'T miss this movie! It's got everything you'll want: great story line, excellent special effects, wonderfully developed characters, and an ending that will both satisfy and leave you wanting more. If you enjoy this sort of thing, be sure and read Jack L. Chalker's three book series "The Wonderland Gambit" and Robert Charrette's "ShadowRun" books. A great deal of the story in this movie was lifted from these books; all are excellent SciFi and drama.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: INNOVATION IS STILL ALIVE!
Review: This movie is just so different, it's not about natural disasters, it's not about mafia, and it's not about aliens!!! i was getting fed up with movies copying each other, but this one is so different!!!

Don't miss it!!

Summary: The Matrix is NOT ORIGINAL
Review: The Matrix was ok, a light weight action flick. Matix fans who rave about the explosions and special effects get no argument from me. But when I keep reading in review after review how "original" The Matrix is, I have got to say ridiculous! Let's take the plot point by point. 1. Reality can be an illusion; This is the most overused story in sci-fi TV and movies, done at least 50 times on the Star Trek series and in Virtuosity, Strange Days, Lawnmower Man, Total Recall, 12 Monkeys, etc. 2. We are being controlled by an unknown power; Dark City, The Truman Show, going back to the Manchurian Candidate and the paranoid sci-fi of the 50's like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. 3. Machines take over the world; Terminator 1 & 2. 4. We are in a computer network; Tron (also see #1) 5. Millions of people wired in pods; See Star Trek, First Contact and all of the TV Star Trek Borg Shows. 6. A Messiah will save us; See Terminator 1 & 2, Dune and all the Star Wars films. 7. People can fly and have super powers! Super hero films; Superman 1 & 2, Batman and TV's Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman. 8. People can go to imaginary places and do martial arts! Over 50 Star Trek TV shows use the "holodeck" to create exotic martial arts fight scenes.

How about the "look" of the film. Let's start with Blade Runner or Blade which also have dark sets, trench coats and exotic clubs. How about the nonstop shooting, check out Terminator 2, Blade or Total Recall. You want people who leap and spin while they shoot; check out Desperado or El Mariachi. Some scenes in The Matrix are almost lifted from other movies. Compare the beginning of The Matrix and Scanners, they are very similar. The set where Reeves touches the mirror is a replica of the old apartment in Blade Runner. It's all been done before.

Now there is one thing that is a bit new in The Matrix. It is the idea that human beings can be used to create electricity. The machines in the film do not need this because they have fusion power (the same power as the sun.) Also, people are a lousy source of power. It is a bad idea and turns most of the reason for The Matrix world into a joke.

So what, this is a comic book story. You love this movie, fine but remember. The Matrix is NOT ORIGINAL!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Star Wars of the 90's
Review: I am a film buff, and no other movie has had me wanting more then the Matrix. It is the most original movie, with special effects that will change the way other movies do special effects, like the way Star Wars did. All I can say is prepare to be blown away. This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat, and when its all over, you will want more. Its not just for sci fi nuts, all of my friends who hate sci fi love this movie not only because of the action, but because of the killer soundtrack.
