Summary: A deep prophetic vision of 21st century techno-collectivism
Review: It is thought provoking to say the least, though this movie is way out there. I'm no anti-tech luddite, but is this frightening world at all resembling the future were heading to? It is thought provoking. While people are in awe over the special effects, I'm in awe over the future and the whole dystopian premise of the movie, I find it a bit too new agey. The main character is basically cast as some kind of messianic savior of humanity who seeks to liberate man from the machine. Somewhat kooky, new agey and nihilistic. I've only seen it twice, so I wasn't exactly enamored by it. Is the matrix tenable? Read 'The Age of Spiritual Machines' about artificial intelligence developments and the future. Beastly self-aware computer systems like the Matrix seem to make HAL from Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey look fairly tame.

Summary: Special Effects+Hong Kong Action Cinema+Kung Fu=Entertaining
Review: It is unfortunate that the martial arts are so weak, because the rest of thefilm is really quite good. However, this is a great concept of a movie: combine greatspecial effects with the explosiveness of a Hollywood action film, martial arts and the camerawork and choreography of Hong Kong action films, and blammo! You got yourself a winner. Keanu Reeves trying to do martial arts, is kind of a letdown; but there is enough here to make you ooh and aah that force you to stay glued to the screen.

Summary: Sets New Standards
Review: It is very rare to find a complete movie in everything here is one for you. The Matrix, a great Thrilling ride, sets new standards for the film industry. Buy it you won't regret it, because I am still watch it from time to time, never felt bored. Simply, One of the best movies ever made.

Summary: um...the BEST MOVIE EVER
Review: it is. You are probably living in the Matrix right now. What's the point of anything... it's all just electrical impulses...? Even if you're not in the matrix everything is just a bunch of electrical pulses strung together and recieved by your brain...so what's really the point of anything? you have to find one...../ Yuri

Summary: WHY CANT ALL MOVIES BE THIS GOOD?
Review: it makes me MAD MAD MAD to hear people say "it just copies evry kung-foo movie and they stole a lot from Jon Woo and there isnt any plot and the characters cant act ECT....."...Excuse me, but iff all plots were this thought-provoking and all the special effects were this good, and all the acting so well done, then every movie would get 6/5 ratings!in the first scene with Trinity, I was like "Who's the good guy and whos bad?" and i still wasnt clear or that until the Sceene where Neo is being interigated. Most peoplesay " I had to watch it a couple times before i understood it." I understood it the first time through. But after seeing it a second and third and fouth and six hundred fourty eighth time I have always cought something new! It is amazing! I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE SEQUELS!!!WHOOOWHOOO

Summary: A Mindless Way to Spend an Afternoon
Review: It must be the "age-thing" because I just didn't find this film to be all that others said it was cracked up to be. The special effects were great but the story was somewhat confusing and muddled. The performances from the principles was adequate, although I had difficulty at times understanding both Fishburne and Reeves because of their "muffled" deliveries. Both - yes, BOTH - have done better work in the past. I suppose a big pay check was the reason for their decision to get involved in such fluff! This is one of the films that will not "age" well. Its use of contemporary terminology and fears about present and future technology will be meaningless in a few years. Thus, the film, no matter its current popularity, will not make anyone's great films' list. For all its Academy Award-winning SFX the flick was no more satisfying than a video game. A less successful film of the early 80's came to mind after I saw "The Matrix." Can anyone say "Tron?"

Summary: Great Sci-Fi Flick
Review: It seems to a a film which actually occur, which made it even more exciting. As a woman I don't care or this genre, but I was meserized.

Summary: Good Sci-Fi Philosophy/Comic Book Action film
Review: It steals from many comic books, and may receive a lawsuit for that soon, but it's a greatly entertaining film, I can't wait for the sequels, to see Keanu, the superhero fly. You've gotta own this DVD.
