Summary: A sci-fi film that's actually good!
Review: Although a few people seem to disagree, I really enjoyed THE MATRIX. The plot, acting, special effects, and music were all good. I don't really like science fiction movies, but this one was really good. The story is creative and unique. The special effects were awesome! From explosions, to vanishing; it was all great! Whoever did the casting did a great job, also! Keanu Reeves isn't my favorite actor in the whole world, but he played Neo flawlessly! I also liked Carrie Anne-Moss as Trinity-I hope to see her in more films. I understand there is going to be two sequels, and I can't wait to see them! Just one tip when watching this film: pay close attention! Don't do laundry or read while watching this! You must pay close attention, but you'll love the revelations :)

Summary: Pure entertainment
Review: Although I didn't find this film to be as profound as many of the other reviewers did, it is certainly clever and very smartly written. I was impressed at how smoothly the Wachowskis managed to fit the conventions of martial arts films into a technological context. The story is pure comic book--and I mean that in the best sense of the word. A seemingly average guy meets some mysterious types who introduce him to the reality behind our everyday world and becomes a superhero to battle the evil he finds there. One of the most interesting facets of the story is the fact that our heroes exist in two worlds simultaneously--in one they are superhuman, while in the other they are nearly helpless.

Summary: A best film on several counts, and a great DVD experience
Review: Although I do not currently own this movie on DVD, it will be the first that I buy on getting my DVD drive installed. I watched it on a dark night on the computer of a friend of mine, and the personal experience of computer DVD and the intensity of this movie made it one of the best viewing experiences of my life. The music is top notch. I bought the soundtrack and ws introduced ot several great groups, and recomend it also. Bound, Matrix, ... I want to see what's next!

Summary: "The Matrix"...quite a ride!
Review: Although I'm not a big science fiction fan, I really enjoyed this DVD. Lots of action and special effects to keep your interest. All the electronic stores in this area use this DVD as a demo. Buy it and you'll see why! Just remember when you view it to ask yourself the question, "Do you understand what you just saw?" I give it "two thumbs up!"

Summary: Absolutely stunning
Review: Although many found the concepts hackneyed, the acting stilted and the action sequences borrowed, I say, let them think that, they're letting analysis and higher thinking get in the way of what is one of the most enjoyable movie watching experiences I can call to mind. The plot, although it has its holes, is engaging and complex, and even semi-spiritually based. The action sequences are, IMHO, thrilling and exquisite. The effects are unmatched. And the acting, again IMHO, is GREAT. I am NOT a Keanu fan, far from it, but I enjoyed his performance thoroughly, and Fishburne was great as well. The bottom line is, if you're going to watch this with the intent of tearing apart, you'll have plenty of handholds. But, if you watch this ready to suspend disbelief and have a EXCEPTIONALLY good time, then that is most certainly what you'll experience. This is in my top 5 favorites now, and I consider myself fairly discriminating, although definitely a "common man" in my tastes (Raising Arizona, Vertigo, The Princess Bride, The Crow and Pulp Fiction are other favorites of mine, as a point of reference.) Add to that the fact that the DVD will have commentaries, behind-the-scenes clips, documentaries, still galleries, and a DVD-ROM internet event in November, and what you have here is one INCREDIBLE deal for a mere $15. Best money you could spend, this is a SHOWCASE DVD title.

Summary: Great combination of Action, script and storyline
Review: Although some may think that this kind of plot typifies sci-fi novel, this movie manages to get a right combination of action, special effects and great sense of excitement. This is a definite keeper for those who love sci-fi flicks.
