Summary: The Matrix Is Close To Our So-Called Reality
Review: The Matrix is more real than we think. We are in short symbiotic creatures created by a higher being programmed to do one thing: to live and better ourselves to become divine-like beings. That is the purpose that we are exist in this earthly world. Just think about it for one second...Without purpose, we are just some mindless people that are roaming the earth to comsume up natural resources and enjoy our lives out meaninglessly. This very meaning, if think through thoroughly, can help us understand our existence. The Matrix is truly a masterpiece putting together to teach us one thing. The world is not shallow and one dimension. That our existence has a purpose that allows us to elevate to another higher dimension if we understand what life is all about. It is our decision to choose how to live it because we have free will. But when you realize what you can capable of become, you can be on higher level than everyone else and that makes you become the "One" -an anomaly. This then will help you see what many others can't see. They can only perceive through you but not what's in you. Take knowledge for example. People say, I quote, "Knowledge is power!" Power of self. Power of devine. Power of greatness.

Summary: Life Changiing Movie
Review: The Matrix is more than a well made sci-fi genre film, it questions the very essence of reality as we know it. I found it deeply spiritual and philosophical plus very exciting and great special effects rich :)

Summary: Puts Star Wars to shame!
Review: The Matrix is movie of the year for a number of reasons. One, it is an intelligent movie, well balanced with nuances that never go over the top or undershoot. It is a timeless story about repression, delusion, and the soul's stirring to wake up. It is allegorical and tells us the story of how all of us really are asleep to reality, living our lives in ignorance in this shadow land of the material world. The Matrix is in all our minds and this movie is closer to the truth than most would care or dare to admit. That is why it is so powerful. Those who laugh at the story line and think it is just a clever movie miss the point entirely. And it is not about anarchy although some may read that into it. What it is about is what we are all about: freeing ourselves from the limitations imposed upon us by our own minds.

Summary: You don't gotta be the one to see this movie
Review: The Matrix is no doubt one of the best movies of it's time, with in your face action and awsome special effects you could and will want to watch it over and over again.
Unless you have been living under a rock you would know the general premise of it so there isnt any need for me to say it. Exept for the fact that it blows you away every time you watch it with new hidden meanings and forshadowing, which I would watch it just for.
Anyway lets talk about the acting. Keanu Reeves { Neo} acually did a great job. Now before you just skip over this reveiw because you think im being overly enthusiastic just read for one more second..... People critize him for being " wooden" and not showing much emotion, and that he doesn't seem like anything special { which I TOTALLY disagree with, but thats besides the point} well thats why why he is soooo PERFECT for this role, he is suposed to look confussed and guarded during the film, which is why i give the casting so much credit, as well as Keanu because lets face it, could you see brad pitt or will smith now as Neo? So I really believe he deserves more credit then what fans and critics have given him.
Anyway where was I, Lawrence Fishbourrne, he was great in the part of Morph. He was very confident, in a good way, but he was also able to put lots of emotion into the easily dense part of "the captain". Finally we come to the runaway hit of the matrix....... Carrie Anne Moss. She was beautiful, strong, kick ass, emotional, simply wonderful. Every time I watch it I'm blown away by the presence she has, it's not a big over blown one, just you always want her on the screen { and not just because she is beautiful}. By the way, if you liked her in this you should definatly check her out in Memento, which is my second favorite movie behind this.
So basically what im saying is Screw lord of the rings, buy the MATRIX and of couse it's sequels but thats for another review.

Summary: A New Layer Revealed in Each Viewing
Review: The Matrix is not a movie that you can completely understand after one viewing. It has so many layers that you'll discover something new each time you watch it. Often ignored is it's strong connection to the gnostic worldview: Perhaps we live in a world that's only a dream and need a savior to show us what is real. That's what Neo discovers in his search for the meaning of the Matrix. He discovers that he and the rest of humanity have been plugged into the Matrix and have been dreaming rather than truly living. The question is, "Is Neo "the one" that can lead them from their computer-generated dream world to the real world?" The movie is entertaining without an understanding of Gnosticism, but is absolutely intriguing with insight into story within the story.

Summary: The Matrix: Definetely one of the best sci-fi movies ever!
Review: The Matrix is not just another sci-fi movie. It is THE sci-fi movie. After I saw this for the first time, I was left with so many questions about life. It was that real to me. I quote Keanu Reeves from the movie,"Whoa." This movie absolutely blew my mind and made me think that maybe it wasn't just a movie, maybe it's the truth that has been hidden from us. I'd also like to say that I LOVE the part with Neo and the Oracle when she says,"The thing that is really gonna bake your noodle later on is if I hadn't told you about the vase, would you still have knocked it over?" For those of you (if any) have not seen The Matrix, GO SEE IT NOW!

Summary: The Most Impressive Sci-Fi Movie
Review: The Matrix is NOT simply another action/adventure sci-fi movie with spectacular visual effects to come in and save it from it's shallow plot. Not in the least. The Matrix has a plot so complex that it even rivals some of the greatest science fiction novels of our century. The Matrix excels where most other sci-fi movies fail in bringing the philosophical aspects of science fiction to life combining one of the most intensly thought provoking plots with the best of effects to form a truly superb movie. It outrates every other sci-fi movie I've ever seen and occupies a place in my mind next to my favorite novels by Asimov, Heinlein, and Niven.

Summary: Wonderful movie, special effects -- made me think.
Review: The Matrix is not your average 'shoot-em-up' Sci-fi flick (though there is a lot of violence). There is a clear message that doesn't get lost in the amazing special effects. DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE FIRST 10 MINUTES. They are a little slow, but the movie picks up very well, and stays at the faster pace. The plot, though a tad predictable in places, isn't contrived. There are several unexpected plot twists. The special effects are unbeliveable, yet fit in perfectly with the premise. This is not a "we have a great effect, how can we use it" movie, but a "we have a great script, how can we film it" one. This is not a movie to miss. The only con to getting this movie is that it isn't wide-screen.
