Summary: Bending the Spoon
Review: If you don't watch this movie at least 3 times, you miss out on half of the goodies. At first the effects attack you with their jarring edginess, and then the idea of a real Matrix, and finally the philosophy becomes the sharpest edge. My whole family is full of conspiracy theorists, and this is our new favorite. An oracle that hands out cookies? Yes indeed. Spoon bending as a parlor trick and mind-numbing metaphor? Uh-huh. I am waiting breathlessly for 2 and 3. I understand, also, why some may not enjoy it. There is alot to absorb. And some of us are just too deep in the Matrix.

Summary: What a ride!
Review: If you enjoy an intelligent, multi-layered plot that is absolutely non-predictable, you're going to love this movie. If you delight in meticulous detail and some of the coolest special effects ever created for celluloid, you are going to love this movie. If you like a story so complex you enjoy it even more on the second and third viewing because of more content you were able to extrapolate, you are going to love this movie. And if you love to watch smart characters doing logical things while interacting with cogent dialog, you will love this movie. Unless you have access to a 6,000 horsepower, nitro-burning funny car and can get your jollies in a sub five-second pass that changes the curvature of your eyeballs, then rent this flick. What a ride!

Summary: Style over content.
Review: If you enjoy overacting, hopeless plot development, and whatcan be best described as a 'two hour rock video' then leave thisturkey well alone. It is utterly pathetic, a desperate attempt to make money (which it did) by having flashy effects and graphics. Did some one say action? well how about following that up with 'John Woo'. Effects mean nothing. Plot and direction is everything. This film tried, it tried hard. A for effort, F for film. Film making has reached new levels of idiocy.

Summary: Matrix DVD and PowerMacs
Review: If you have a Blue and White G3 or a new G3 Powerbook don't despair!! You might just be able to get that great DVD to play. Press and hold command-option-i before/as you close the loading tray. You should get a regular cd icon on your desktop. Now open Apple DVD player and wala...enjoy. Just remember Think Different.

Summary: A five star movie
Review: If you have a dvd player and you don't own the matrix, you might as well give your dvd player away. The WOW factor in this movie is non-stop, with great special and sound effects, and a smart script, there's no way you can go wrong by buying this movie. In other words, stop reading this review and order your movie right NOW!!!! You'll thank me for it.

Review: If you have a stereo receiver with dolby digital capability and a good dvd player this movie is a must for your collection. Visually stunning and with the dolby 5.1 absolutely like being in the middle of the action. A perfect gift for Christmas.

Summary: WITHOUT A DOUBT A MASTERPIECE OF A MOVIE
Review: If you have never seen this movie, I envy you. I keep wishing to somehow have temporary amnesia, enabling me to experience "The Matrix" for the first time all over again. Yes, this movie is THAT GOOD. Never before has reality been questioned so effectively. The intentional depth of this movie is astounding. It seems to have layers that peel back to reveal more layers. I guarantee you will keep analyzing the movie long after you've seen it. As you watch, you'll realize that somehow everything came together flawlessly, from the screenplay, the directors, the actors, and everyone else involved. If I had to use one word to summarize "The Matrix", it would be PERFECTION. This movie was the reason people made the transition to DVD. DO NOT RENT... BUY THIS MOVIE NOW.

Summary: Come on - it's the matrix
Review: If you haven't seen or heard of this movie by now, then you need to go rent it. Once you've seen it, if you like it and there's one DVD you're going to own, this is it. It's one of those movies you can keep watching.This would probably always be a good choice as a gift too, if you're thinking of buying for someone else.

Summary: I love this movie
Review: If you haven't seen The Matrix, buy the DVD right now! The scenes are excellent, as are the picture and sound. This is a quality flick. Really, there is only one drawback; the case. Most DVD's have a solid plastic case, but not this one. It has a cheap paper one, with a plastic clip. But, no reason to not buy this movie, just something for the companies to think about. If you want to test the abillity of your sound system, or your HDTV, this is the movie to do it.

Summary: Best Movie Ever Made!!!!!
Review: If you haven't seen this movie yet you're in for a wonderful surprise! Buy this DVD/VHS and watch it.....it will become your prized possession and you will watch it over and over again year after year. I'm amazed that human beings can actually pull off such a stunt as this and end up with such a wonderful vision so brilliantly laid out! I can't rave enough about this movie. I've been doing it ever since I saw it in the theater twice on the first two days it played here. It has made me recapture an old feeling I first had back in the sixties that something incredible,--ineffable,-- was going on with the human race during my lifetime(!!), and it's thoroughly refreshing. I wish I could personally thank every last person who worked on this picture. Everyone who knows me is getting this movie for Xmas this year, for starters.
