Summary: Very Cool!
Review: The matrix is one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. The special efects are cool. I Liked the martial arts alot. The fight between Neo and Morpheous was the best fighting seen. You have to watch this movie at least twice to understand it fully. This film is defently Keano Reeves best movie next to Speed. I like the way they explain everything in the first half of the movie and then the action picks up. I really wish I could have seen it in the theater. A must see for people who are into technology and action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More than cyber-thrills and spills
Review: The Matrix is one of the few movies that I enjoy watching over and over. Each time I view it, I discover something new in the story or scenes. It has a rare and interesting plot, and it appeals to the imagination, emotions and intellect. In this age of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, "e"-everything and cyber-everything, the theme of the movie is a relevant piece of work. A friend of mine said that he does not like the movie because it is "unrealistic" and far-fetched. Well, to those who feel this way, I would like to say that it is, after all, a science-fiction movie, not a science documentary. As a sci-fi movie, it has to go beyond what we normally regard as "realistic" , and The Matrix certainly stretches way beyond those boundaries.

This is also one movie which is even the more interesting and mind-blowing when followed with other on-line resources or web information, such as the numerous uncanny Biblical parallels and symbolisms (such as Neo readily sacrificing himself to save humankind from the deception and bondage of a malevolent force, then coming back alive to defeat his foes), as well as analysis of some of the characters and their names.

I first watched the movie simply for "eyes-lolly" Keanu as Thomas Anderson, but as I watched the video again, I find the other characters growing on me too, such as Trinity, Morpheus, Tank, and yes! even the 3 agents Smith, Jones and Brown, esp. Agent Smith. All in all, it is a great movie with a good cast, cool, stylish stunts and special effects.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SMART, FAST & FUN - "THE MATRIX" HAS IT ALL !!!
Review: The Matrix is one of the finest sci-fi action movies to come along in years. This movie successfully combines a gripping, quick paced story, and deep plot with some of the most fantastic imagery and action sequences ever shot. I've seen it twice and could easily watch it with keen interest many more times. In short...if you haven't seen The Matrix, you're missing one of the best movies ever made!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SEE THIS MOVIE!
Review: The Matrix is one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time. It's has state-of-the art special effects, and eye popping stunts. Although Keanu Reeves' performance is weak, it doesn't matter with a great story. So that's why I give this 5 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Difficult to describe the greatness of this movie
Review: The Matrix is one of the most brilliant, mind-blowing, heart-stopping sci-fi movies of all time. The special effects, sound, and action sequences are so spectacular that they move you and absorb you all at once. The four Oscars this movie won for special effects, sound editing, and other technical achievements were well deserved. This movie will take your breath away and stimulate the facets of your mind to twist in ways you've never imagined. What happens when Neo takes the red pill and tumbles down the rabbit hole? Watch this film and you won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Matrix
Review: The Matrix is one of the most eye-opening, electrifyingly original movies to hit the big screen in years with Keanu Reeves finally bringing a touch of respectability to the much-maligned virtual reality genre.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Important Film
Review: The Matrix is one of the most important films ever made. It speaks to all of us who are struggling to stay awake in on going nightmare. At stake is our free will. The future of mankind is at a pivotal moment. We have the choice to return to the comfort of the womb and pretend that all is okay. Or we can stay awake and risk our destruction. Even before Plato's "Alegory of the Cave" some men and women have been aware of this great struggle. But now the Matrix makes it even more pressing. I love this movie, and its message. I highly recommend it to all thinking people who have felt the splinter in the mind.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Prodding the brain...
Review: The Matrix is one of the most spectacular Sci Fi Movies of the 20th Century. Not totally originally, but it combines elements of so many previous Sci Fi flicks that it's more like a tribute to those previous stories. It may not be totally original, but the combination of aspects have never been more originally executed. The use of the wires during fight scenes and the rotating angles (bullet speed as they call it) give the movie a visual sense of a created world, something that is not real and can be manipulated. The movie takes place somewhere in the future, opening with a glimpse of the life of Neo (Reeves in a role he was most likely born to play), a computer programmer working for a large corporation who does hacker work in his off time. After being discovered for his illegal extracurricular activity, Neo is intercepted by a mysterious woman, Trinity (the striking Carrie-Anne Moss) who claims to know what or actually who, he is looking for; Morpheous, a charismatic mystery man played by Fishbourne, who gives a strong leader performance. Morpheous believes Neo is the coming messiah who will save mankind, but from what? That is where the question, 'What is the Matrix?' comes in. Explaining it takes a few different scenes and although it's a fairly simple concept, the motivations behind it all take a little more length in detail. As the questions unfold, Neo starts to realize his destiny and the action escalates as the movie moves on. The inclusion of high energy martial arts fighting scenes are so ingeniously integrated into the movie as well as other aspects of action, that you have to applaud the writers and directors. With this concept, you could put almost anything into this story line. To state anymore may ruin the plot but simply put, Matrix makes you wonder about your own world. The disturbing questions it brings to the surface make you question the validity of your own existence, and that is where the most frightening aspects of The Matrix lie. Part Science Fiction, part twilight zone, part action movie and part big-brother paranoia propaganda, The Matrix suggests that we should question everything around us and supplement our minds with things that are outside the realm of what we accept as everyday thinking. Packed with extra features for the DVD player as well as the DVD ROM for your PC, this is definitely worth the money. No one can be told what The Matrix is, you have to see it, so buy the DVD and see for yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest movie ever made!
Review: The Matrix is one of the most unbelievble movies ever. I just loved every minute of it. At first, when I saw it at the cinema I was saying to myself: "Man, I oughta get this movie on DVD once it gets out, it was just amazing!" And so I did, I got the DVD the day it went out. The sound is AMAZING! Especially on a new AC-3 system. My advice: GET IT NOW!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Star Wars Blows it Away!
Review: The Matrix is one of the worst films in a long time. The dry, lifeless plot matches the dry, lifeless characters. Don't waste your time on this film. It's one of the most irrelevent ,pointless movies ever made. Instead people should turn to any of the 4 Star Wars films , the true Sci-fi epic the Matrix will never be.
