Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Fantastic. This is just incredible! I've seen many great movies in my time, but this is probably my favourite! The special effects are awesome and the actors are beyond cool! The fighting scenes are so awesome that you cannot think of anything but the film for days after you've seen it. It has got everything a good film needs, and is just perfect. If you like movies, and have not seen The Matrix; be ashamed! See it, buy it, love it!!!

Summary: Cyber-Punk thriller feeling fresh
Review: Fast action combined with mind challenging logics. Advanced effects and animations with hi-tech gadgets and designerware. Just like in the W. Gibson novels.

Summary: Finally movie production is catching up with technology!!
Review: Finally a DVD worth giving a "Referance" title to. Both the video and audio transfer to DVD is impecable!! It may not have been the greatest movie as far as plot goes, but how many Theaterphiles actually see a movie for its plot. This movie is well worth the purchase if you own a QUALITY AC-3 Home Theater, otherwise don't bother because you will NOT be able to get the full effect!!!!

Summary: COOL COOL COOL
Review: Finally Keanu Reeves has found the perfect role: his Neo is a human blank slate who goes through a harrowing transformation while discovering the horrific secrets of The Matrix. An eye-popping, non-stop thirll ride, the Wachowski's super-cool movie astounds you at every turn, and its dizzying pop-psychology and wildly fantastic premise is actually thought-provoking. Like all good rides, it moves like lightning, so you better pay attention; this movie is crammed with lots of subtle touches, and the Oscar-winning special effects require at least a second viewing. Four stars instead of five for one reason: for all its slickness and entertaining thrills, the characters in this movie do not illicit the kind of pathos they might have with just a bit more personal history and interaction; it is more a series of posturing without real heart. With the hyper-cool Carrie Moss as Neo's potential babe, just a bit more stylized romance a la The Terminator would have made given this movie more emotional resonance, though as it stands it is a science fiction classic for the ages.

Yeah oh joy.So the movie as itself is very cool you have never seen better one.But on DVD the story really begins the special effects a here much better an can be normaly seen not like in the cinema where you can`t see a dust of this movie.I would recommend it to evryone who wants or loves actoin/s-f/romantic(I would bet there was a little romance on the end of the movie).It has evrything what the movie needs.

Summary: Best movie I have seen in years
Review: Finally! A sci-fi action story with enduring themes of spiritual awakening, realizing personal potential, etc. Worth rewatching. Beats the pants off of that tired star wars movie. Killer concept.

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: Finally! An action movie with a believable story! The sounds, the effects, the kung-fu and shoot out scenes, and of course, the bullet-time effects make this one a winner! This movie will definately make you think differently about the "real" world. What if our world really was a hoax? This film answers that question very well! A must have for any sci-fi and or action enthusiast!

Summary: Good movie with a few problems
Review: First I'll praise: 1) Those people who say that the effects are bad: IGNORE THEM. They are Oscar deservant (though not this past year, when Star Wars should have won, but in any other year) 2) Good story 3) Cool fights 4) As a film score buff, I enjoyed the isolated music track

However, it had some problems: 1) No emotion. During the fights, the actors kept a straight face, which made it look like they were doing about 1% of what they could have. 2) Hmmm... I can't think of a second.... so I guess I'm done

Summary: The best Sci-fi movie of the year
Review: First of all I must say to the guy in Blacksburg Virginia that he needs a pair of glasses! He definitely cannot apreciate a great movie like The Matrix. For me, The Best Movie of The Year, without exagerating. It's a great buy. Do it without fear.

Summary: Very good movie but poor formatting decisions on the DVD
Review: First of all I would like to say that this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It was incredibly well done and very enjoyable. I bought the DVD version for my computer and that was the only area in which I was disappointed. I have a G3 and playing it in my DVD drive was quite problematic. I had to go through special steps just to get it to play and then it repeated scenes while playing. I was not happy with teh formatting chosen by WB but when I finally got it to play it was incredible. would recommend to anyone with a regular DVD player.
