Summary: Outstanding!
Review: The plot alone is outstanding, but the movie is also done very well. I love movies with a twist, and this has a great one. This movie is famous for the special effects, they have been copied a million times since, but they are still good.A computer wiz is leading a double life, He has his normal day job, and is a computer hacker by night. He thinks he is one of the best but because of his insight into the world of computers, he finds there is some kind of conspericy happening, bigger than anyone knows. Another hacker invites him to find out what it is. He accepts the invition. He is givin a choice to go back to his normal life, or to find out what the matrix is. If he takes the second choice, his life will never be the same again. The reality he learns of is so unreal that he wishes he never found out about it, but unable to return, he must join the battle against an evil with unbelievable power.

Review: The plot of the movie is new and refreshing, and the more you thinkabout it, the more you want to see it again! The F/X, costume designs, andcinematography are spectacular! There are some moments in the movie which move slowly, but as they say in the ads, the rest of the movie ROCKS!!!

Summary: Cartoony, but fun to look at
Review: The plot of this movie was. . . . well. . . . a bit like a complicated saturday morning cartoon thing, as were some of the characters. And some of the dilaogue (not the acting, the dialogue) was kinda cheesy, but when you take a story like that and put awesome special effects into it (meaning no matter what you do, you can't tell its actually not real) you get something that is just a blast to see. A word on the Format, i haven't actually seen it on DVD, But i noticed it did a little squeezing on the actors on Deep Blue Sea, which is a movie that rocks but i wish it had this movie's FX. Oh well, don't take the matrix too seriously and you'll have a great time.

Summary: The Best Movie I've Ever Seen!
Review: The plot was pure guiniess. A one in a million. It all fit so perfectly together that you don't even see how well it was put together till the second viewing. I won't give it all away though, see it for yourself.

Summary: I'd give it zero stars
Review: The powers-that-be in Hollywood are laughing their butts off.The formula: Create cartoon characters that are completelyunbelievable; get a "star" for your main character, even if he is a scrawny, wimpy, completely unrealistic action hero (see Reeves); make sure, because the hero is white, that the villains are also white and that there are plenty of sympathetic minority supporting players, lest anyone scream bigotry; come up with an "original" idea that in reality was lifted from a 30-year-old Star Trek episode; and (drumroll) fill this baby up with special effects. Bottom line: no characters, no original story, plenty of video-game special effects that, no matter how "cool" they may look, still look fake.END

Summary: The Matrix
Review: The premise of this film is novel and well covered. It is difficult not to like this movie if you like action/adventure at all. It is better than most, a little dark (similar to The Crow), and the acting is excellent. The one thing that could have been left out was the little "love" scene that was beside the point, unnecessary, and obviously gratuitous.

Summary: One of the best movies of 1999
Review: The previews on TV didn't do the movie justice. This is the best cyberpunk movie yet. I like the original (more than most) storyline. The reason for extrapping the humans seemed stretched but otherwise the movie was very consistent.

Summary: Nothing can top this movie
Review: The problem with most movies lately, particularly those that fall into the action genre, is that no matter how much good story telling there is, they just don't make you think. The Matrix contains post apocalyptic philosiphies and theories that do just that. The complete shock of this movie is that it could happen, it could be true; and there are certain paradoxes to point to this, the famous Zeno's Paradox is one of them. Also something that we rarly see in action films of todays generation is strong acting, something that The Matrix is full of. Reeves drops the "California surfer dude" act and is just plain great. Fishburn is at his best as Neo's teacher, providing insight into his life, and ours. The thing I must applaud the Wachowski Brothers with the most however, is that the special effects (which are out of this world) do not drown out the plot or actors, as is the case with every other special FX flick of the last few years. This movie comes with the highest recommendation possible. It gets five stars because I couldn't give it six.
