Summary: Simply The Best Sci-Fi Action Film This decade.
Review: No words can really do this film justice, it is easily the best film I have seen in a long time. I saw it at the cinema twice and have watched the DVD twice within a week of getting it.

The action scenes are oustanding, acting excellant and what is even better is that there are two more Matrix films in the making :)

Oh yes.

On the DVD side of things, the Disc is top notch. The documenaries are brilliant, and the commentary by the editors & Carrie-Anne Moss is well worth listening to.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best movie ever!
Review: No, not 5 stars, 100+ stars easily! Perception:Our day-in, day out world is real. Reality: That world is a hoax, an elaborate deception spun by all-powerful machines of artificial intelligence that control us. Whoa. Those are the beginning words on the back of the case. I agree with it all. This movie rocked in evry way possibe, and the special effects were so perplexed and real it kills you. Everyone should see this movie, if you like techno slammin' visuals, or if you don't. This movie really makes you think. Keanu Reeves is awesome in this movie, and I loved the guy with the monotone voice. "How can you make a phonecall if you are unable to speak?" This movie is for everyone, you won't be mispleased! Note: If you hate movies where you have to think and use that big pink nugget inside you head, then you will hate this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is a raw movie!
Review: Nonsense? Maybe. Totally flipped out? Maybe. But The Matrix is still one of the best movies released in 1999. It's so original. I've never seen anything like this before. It deserves an Oscar for it's special effects. Keanu Reeves was nothing special in this movie, but he wasn't that bad. Either you love this movie or you hate it! I love it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fast Paced Futuristic Fantasy
Review: Normally I shy away from Sci Fi due to the usual goop and robot insect creatures, so I waited forever to see this movie. Keanu Reeves really got me hooked on the story. He is perfect as the software techie/hacker who moves from virtual reality to reality (they say).

The fear of machines taking over the world is exploited to the max. Humans are not
only used as a power source, they are bred for the job. Each living in their own virtual reality, while being hooked up to serve the planet. Anyway, that is a small part of the movie, although disturbing.

Neo (Keanu Reeves) is drawn into his own destiny through a phone call and phones become an intrical part of the story as the way the characters move back into a state of reality, where their bodies are hooked up ready for their minds to be programmed with the newest information at a minutes notice.

Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) is trying to save the planet from the machine takeover and is convinced Neo is the "one." Near the end of the movie, Keanu gets into some real power positions that are highly attractive.

He knows how the world should be, how it deserves to be, and everywhere he turns, he is faced with the fact that there is something wrong with his world. In fact, he is not in the real world, but in a virtual type reality that controls his life.

In order to conquer this world, he has to start to believe he can. During this fight for what he believes is right, the special effects really capture your attention.

I was pretty fascinated with all the concepts involved. It was not only intellectually fulfilling, but there is a ton of
suspense, action and of course Keanu Reeves.

Hey, It's a good reason to watch a movie
if I ever heard of one. ;)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good movie
Review: Not a Great movie. The action scenes hold up after multable veiwings but the story seems to fall apart. Little things start to get annoing (ie the green filter in the Matrix is cool but gets real annoing) Still it is a fun movie to whatch with some great dialog.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How can we make an action movie better than this one?
Review: Not only does the story include many intelligent literary references, that should be obvious to all of us but they not because we stupid, it establishes, like 2001, Alien, and even the Terminator before it, a new standard in filmmaking. It's not often you laugh because something is soo cool.

Rating: 5 stars
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: 4 stars
Summary: The best DVD they sell
Review: Not only is the matrix one of the bestaction movies of all time. But this dvd is loaded with all kinds of cool stuff. There is an actual screensaver of the matrix for those of you with a pc-dvd. The digital sound is neccesary for this one. If you don't have surround sound GET IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think the movie was full of action and forced you think
Review: not only was the movie exciting but if you think of the story line it was a great science fiction. it had the whats going on, the realization, and then the fighting part of the movie witch was all great

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWE INSPIRING
Review: NOT ONLY WILL THIS MOVIE ASTOUND THE VIEWER, BUT ALL OTHER ACTION DIRECTORS AROUND. THE MIND-PAUSING SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKE THIS MOVIE ONE OF THE GREATEST PRODUCTIONS EVER. I WOULD SUGGEST GETTING THE VHS COLLECTORS EDITION TAPE. IT HAS A VERY AMUSING "MAKING OF THE MATRIX" AT THE END AFTER ALL OF THE CREDITS. IT INCLUDES "BULLIT TIME" (WHICH I WON'T REVEAL, ~~YOU HAVE TO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF~~) AND MANY OTHER EFFECTS THAT YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS.
