Summary: Excellent Sci-Fi Action/Adventure
Review: An enjoyable, intelligent Sci-Fi adventure that manages to make a complicated plot understandable without being condescending towards the audience.

Summary: Generally good with an exeptional storyline
Review: An exeptional Science Fiction movie needs to provide many key aspects, many of which the Matrix has forfilled. One of the key qualities the movie owns is a storyline which is not only unique and original but captures the imagination of the audience.The action scenes of course provide the basis of the movie,and although this is a common fault of the modern film industry, fantastic technology and correography back this up. To sum up this still does not compare to the all time greatest sci -fi film of 2001 but is worth a watch

Summary: A Genre-Busting Sci-Fi for the New Millenium
Review: An exhilerating action flick with adrenaline-pumping kung fu choreography. A tribute to late 90's special effects and CGI. And most importantly, a thought-provoking plot full of unprecedented premises, with an underlying message for everyone to live by: if we believe in ourselves, we are all The One.

Summary: Simply The Best
Review: An intense plot, incredible music, extraordinary acting and stunning visuals are combined to create one of the most impressive science fiction movies out there. While the visuals are, for lack of a better word, simply awesome, the reason this movie was so popular was because of the philosophical plot. You only really start to understand the great number of metaphors the second time through (unless, of course, someone spoiled the main plot prior to your first viewing). As juvenile as it seems, the action scenes themselves are so impressive that even if a decent story was lacking from the movie (which is most certainly not true) it would still be worth a viewing. The amazing soundtracks add so much to the intense, suspense filled movie. And all of this has not even come close to scratching the surface. This Matrix will leave anyone in awe.

Summary: Great special effects battle a confused and muddled script
Review: An interesting idea for a movie, with dazzling special effects, degenerates as quickly as possible to a tedious barrage of noise and action movie cliches for those with short attention spans. It's as if the script writers have fallen asleep while this work was in process. But not the special effects people and artists. The visuals do a good job of distracting you from how lame, one-sided, inconsistant, and un-inspired the story really is. Finally, in the last five minutes, the movie completely falls appart, making no attempt at logic whatsoever, leaving you with countless unanswered questions. The very last scene is incongruous to the rest of the movie. If a sequel is made, let's hope it's more consistant and thoughtful than this one. You could do a lot worse than the Matrix, but it failed to live up to it's hype.

Review: An intresting view of what could come!

Summary: Follow the White Rabbit
Review: And definitely take the red pill.This is somewhat of a rarity - a science fiction action movie with an actual science fiction story. The Wachowskis have crafted a loud, fast-paced ride through an alternate reality made believable by superb effects. The film's soundtrack meshes with the action scenes to provide a visceral punch to the often jaw-dropping visuals.The acting in a movie like this is usually secondary, but Laurence Fishburne is very good as Morpheus, and, even if you don't much like Keanu Reeves, he's fine here (only one "Whoa").The movie as is can be enjoyed for its visual and technical aspects, but also, if you're interested, provides much material for thought and discussion.

Summary: Best Sci-Fi in a decade!
Review: And I thought that the big science fiction hit this year would be "Star Wars" - Guess again! When this movie came out, I expected a vaguely interesting 2 hours that would tide me over til Episode 1 came out. What I got was probably the single best science fiction movie I have seen in quite a few years - this decade anyway. Definitely a must rent-buy-see movie!

Summary: Very high quality science fiction flick!!!!!
Review: Andy and Larry have delivered a rocksock cyberpunk film that is a one of a kind rollercoaster ride. The effects were astounding and the storyline was very crafty. I was shocked to learn that these were the same brothers who wrote the Stallone/Banderas flick ASSASSINS. There are several more things I would like to say to the viewer who felt really sorry for the people who own a Macintosh: 1. I have one. 2. I have a program called VIRTUAL PC which runs Windows 98 on the Macintosh. 3. I played THE MATRIX on the computer using Windows 98 and was also able to access the PC features. Might I add that they worked very well? Still feeling sorry for me?
