Summary: A great Libertarian Science Fiction film
Review: More that just great special effects and a lead actor obviously born for the part this is a very Important film. Much has been said but think of it as a satire on the government, the importance of self, and the acceptence of reality this is a very meaningful film.

Summary: Art on the level of Star Wars.
Review: Most aspects of this movie were not original. The idea of everything being an illusion is old and Matrix adds little to the concept. The character development was the worst part of the movie, and only Morpheus was anything more than utterly shallow. The soundtrack seemed adequate. But...come on, people! This movie was fun! Like Star Wars 20 years before, Matrix draws on many cultural elements and ideas and weaves them together in a wholy original, well-executed manner. The result is at the very least refreshing, often creative, and always engaging. The parallels to Star Wars go further. There is a rich, compelling universe; a hero gifted with supernatural powers; top-notch special effects; and finally a background with a cheesy, but still meaningful and well-delivered message. It is the synthesis, not the parts, that make Matrix original (and more than a simple action movie).To me, a good movie is one that compells additional viewings and strives for originality. The Matrix acheives this at a level rarely matched in this decade.

Summary: "Welcome to the real world..."
Review: Most computer hackers use they're computers to escape the confines of reality. In 1999, Andy and Larry Wachowski took this idea, and completely flipped it on it's ear with this surprise box office blockbuster that some of us love, and others love to hate. Keanu Reeves plays Thomas Anderson, an employee for one of the largest software companies in the world by day; but by night he is Neo, a computer hacker who sits in front of his computer all night long, waiting. What he is waiting for he does not know, until one day he receives a message from a man called Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), and from that moment on, everything Neo knows to be real is turned upside down, as we find out that our day in, day out world is all a computer generated hoax to keep all of humanity enslaved. Hell of a concept eh? We all know what happens from there on, so I'll get to my thoughts on The Matrix. The first time I layed eyes on this film I loved it, I loved everything about it, the idea (even though it mirror's 1998's Dark City, a superior film and another one of my all time favorites), the special effects, the costume design (tell me that Neo, Morpheus, and crew don't look just plain cool), and how the Wachowski Brothers inject kung-fu style fight scenes almost flawlessly. Love it or hate it, no one can deny that The Matrix is not a landmark film in action and science fiction, and at the time it came out was the much needed sci-fi epic that fans have waited years for. If you've never seen The Matrix, stop reading this and follow the white rabbit to the Add to Cart button.

Summary: One of the all-time best movies.
Review: Most movies don't just grab me. This one did. I've got to hand it to the Wachowski brothers. They really came up with a gem with this one. Anybody who likes Sci-Fi, anybody who likes action, and anybody who likes to be entertained should definitely buy this film and watch it many times!

Summary: You can be "THE ONE"ΓΏ
Review: Most of my friends agree that this flick is worth owning for the effects alone. But the more you watch it, the more you realize what a truly classic idea this is----when the oracle tells Neo that he is not the one, but that knowing you are is like knowing you are in love. Anyone who has really loved something before instantly realizes that this is one of the coolest movies ever. If you have ever dreamed of being a super hero before, this is your chance to see it happen. Some people were bothered by a few scenes that really seem too incredible---but I say if they believed they could do it, it could happen. The world wasn't real, after all. What can you do in your mind?

Summary: It makes you think...
Review: Most reviewers like to focus on the special effects of this movie (which were absolutely incredible) or the acting (which was also incredible, despite Keanu Reeves). I'd have to say that the main reason why "The Matrix" is such an awesome movie is because it gets your brain working...it makes you think. Most movies out there don't do that, and it's rare nowadays to find a movie that stimulates the intellect quite so much. You can talk about the effects, you can talk about the acting, but what makes a movie truly great is how much it inspires the viewer. "The Matrix" is a treat for the mind. Go see it.

Summary: What is The Matrix - It's retro , futuristic and truly epic.
Review: Move over Phantom Menace and George Lucas cause The Matrix totally destroyed Star Wars 1.Our world a computer generated world made by artifical intel designed for one reason to make us slaves. Under there power to keep us under control for energy.Neo who is played by Keanu Reeves who is a software programmer and by night a software hacker is approched by a mysterious girl named Trinity a strong willed feedom fighter for a band or rebels. The question will be answerd for him '' What is The Matrix'' by a man named Morpheous. He gives Neo a choice either remain in the computer generated world or see and find out the truth he gives him a blue and red pill to choose from.He takes the red pill and after that he gets a slimey rebirth in a machine,challenges morpheous with super quick reflexes,learns how to rebound bullits,and holds a helicopter with his hands. Until Neo becomes the one with godlike powers like being able to slow down bullets and destroy The Matrix program. This is an eye popping visually stunning wild ride.Just as Star Wars did 22 years ago The Matrix did by designing there own style of visual effects and digital animation wich very well could get the Acadamy Award,it's much more lush than Star Wars 1 ,the dvd will give you an inside look a glimpse of bringing this hugely succesful movie to life and show you key scenes to a incredible science ficton epic.All in all The Matrix is a technical marval and a truly entertaining film it's a ride buckel up cause this one sky rockets.

Summary: Social critic or just chilly action?
Review: Mr. David Jones rated this movie as a chilly excitement for the masses... sorry, I disagree. The message behind the script is not just an "idea", but a deep critic to the modern western society. The tremendous value of this "chilly" kick and hit movie is that such a message is not just said... you can actually feel it.
