Summary: the story is familiar; long live bullet time!
Review: One of the classic sci-fi/cyberpunk storylines is that our perceived reality is actually an illusion. Those who have enjoyed variations on this theme (Total Recall and Brazil come to mind) will be on familiar ground here. What makes The Matrix so enticing is the latest use of computer-generated and -assisted special effects, particularly bullet-time photography.Not since the dogfight sequences in the final battle around the Death Star of Return of the Jedi have I been so bedazzled by the latest FX technology. With bullet-time, slow-motion has never looked so flawless and witnessing the 3D pan around the action made my heart race. Like the dogfights around the Death Star, I was giddy. I will always prefer to watch movies in big-screen cinemas with the best sound system available. Otherwise, watching a fun movie like The Matrix at home on a big-screen TV with an equally excellent sound system makes it just as worthwhile. The added benefit of commentaries, behind-the-scenes material and other stuff makes it moreso. I've also played this DVD on my Mac and had just as much fun, although the picture could be bigger. :-) Speaking of Macs, I would never know your review had anything to do with the movie. The only people I know who speak so ill of the Macintosh are Mac-ignorant and PC-arrogant. For the record, DVDs are cross-platform; there's no such thing as a PC-only DVD (I certainly haven't seen one). Anyone who is having problems playing this DVD on their computer either doesn't have a DVD-ROM or you need to apply a software patch or upgrade. As for Macs, OS9 will take care of everything. Otherwise, go to for a workaround. on playing The Matrix on any computer. (I swear, I have no alliances with PCFriendly.)

Summary: Like, Totally!
Review: One of the coolest DVDs I have ever seen! The special efects blew me away. With surround sound is very capturing. Don't get it if you are scared of a lot of stuff. If taken seriously can REALY freak out a person. There is a little bit of violence bunch not a lot of blood shed. Lots of bullets though. VERY COOL! HIGHLY RECAMENDED!

Summary: What is the Matrix?
Review: One of the most spectacular and visually interesting sci-fi movies to date. Great BGM that's appropriate for certain scenes. I love the details you can see during slow motion scenes such as all the brick and dust flying from pillars during the assault to free Morpheus. The DVD version has great clarity to colors and sounds, but I did notice that it suffers some artifacting during scenes with alot of black. I tested the disc on both my stand alone Philip Magnavox unit and my portable Panasonic DVD-L50. This movie would be a great gift alongside Dark City for those with sci-fi significant others.

Summary: Unclear Motive
Review: One of the reasons given for the war against "the agents" and their matrix, is the survival of "Zion". But Zion appears to be nothing more than a dark and filthy hole in the Earth-- definitely not worth fighting for. An interesting film with dazzling special effects, though.

Summary: Must-buy DVD!!!
Review: One of the two best films (not all movies are films) of 1999 (the other is The Sixth Sense) In order to truly enjoy the amazing (never-been- seen-before) SFX at home, you should buy the DVD. I plan on buying both a DVD player and preordering this DVD, because the movie rocked so much. If you are a scifi fan that hated Phantom Menace, you will probably love The Matrix.

Summary: Movie of the year
Review: One of thew greatest sci-fi movies of all time is finally out. 14.99 seems like a pretty good deal, but I think it's cheaper at 800.com.

Summary: reminder of the days when action movies had a point
Review: One part gunfight, one part martial arts and one part science fiction, the Matrix is harkens to the 80s action classics - before studios realized they could make just as much money by releasing shallow special-effects extravaganzas with no point or ideas whatsoever. The Matrix does a fine job of tapping into 90s troubles of over-connectiveness and dehumanization in an ever more information-driven world - where it's easy to feel like meaningless cogs in a great inhuman machine. Just as we can look back on films like the Blade Runner and appreciate how real the prospect of an high-tech urban wasteland felt back then, I believe we'll see our own 90s fears mirrored in the Matrix in years to come. As for the DVD itself, it comes packed with extras. Even the chapter selection screens have actual mini-displays of the film in action, rather than just thumbnail stills. One oddity, however, is the theatrical trailer is only available using a PC DVD-ROM drive. Be warned! The Matrix is a hybrid DVD with so many extras that many older players have had trouble handling it. If yours is among the first generation of players, you may want to consider renting first to make sure yours can handle it properly.
