Summary: sorry about the violence
Review: The Matrix is one tough film and it had the foundation (Act 1 and 2 )to blow you away. However Act 3 falls short with the same old solutions of violence and fear. "Dark City" takes us to another level and Matrix could have gone to another level far beyond but did not. I look forward to seeing more from the minds of these directors. It is a great film and they will only get better.

Summary: The Matrix has special-effects that takes Your breath away.
Review: The Matrix is our worst nightmare. The reality is not real! Our lives are not real! Personally I don't like Keanu Reeves that much, but he is actually quite brilliant in this incredible motion picture. He plays the naive but skillful computerfreak, who earns his money in a not all legal way. Soon he finds himself involved with a group of people, which claims to know The Matrix - The Real World. Off course there are also bad guys involved, and this is probably the meanest lot I have ever seen. The Matrix is in no way ordinary, and that is what makes it so incredible - You will either love it or hate it.

Summary: The greatest sci-fi movie ever
Review: The Matrix is perhaps the most original sci-fi movie that has come out in a very long time since the first 'Star Wars' movie. The plot has profound themes about humans and computers. But the movie's sophisticated and immense theme makes the viewer want to see it twice in order to understand every detail behind every scene. At first, the intensity of the story line appears difficult to grasp. But as the viewer inmerses into the plot, the movie almost seems belieavable enough to the point of making us wonder if something similar to this could really happen some day. But as Morpheus said: "Unfortunately, No one can be told what The Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."

Summary: Complete. Amazing. Completely amazing.
Review: The Matrix is possibly the best sci-fi movie I have ever seen in my whole life. Long before I saw this in the theatre, I felt that this movie is something extra. I have heard people talk about it, I read about it, I saw pictures. But I really did a good job to stay out of too much information before I finally watched it. And that was the best thing I did. When I finally saw the movie, I was surprised by one thing in the plot. And then I knew that the rest of the movie would be awesome, and I also knew that I am going to love this movie. And I did... Almost every minute of it. The plot was simply wonderful, the actors were great and the special effects were something I never seen before. It was an experience that I can recommend everyone to at least give a try. Even if the plot seen only from a technical perspective is truly amazing, it is also another message: You can achieve more than you think. This movie is also about that, and about freedom. You can do more, since you have more freedom, once you get to learn about the Matrix. But also seen from technical perspective, it is not a very happy vision of the future we are about to see. The truth may be very different than you think. Matrix made me think and to imagine how it would be if the Matrix was real? Would we ever notice? Is it possible? This movie is the absolutely one of the best sci-fi movie I ever seen. Star Wars? Blade Runner? No way! They are way behind! They are over rated, while Matrix never can be. The Matrix is awesome.

Summary: A Jewel!
Review: The Matrix is probably one of the most clever, original, entertaining and well directed movies of the last decade. All the FXs are appropriated and go hand in hand with the great plot. A must see. Absolutely.

Summary: Sound: 5+, Special Effects: 5+, Story: 1, Acting: -0
Review: The Matrix is probably one of the most overrated movies in film history. But then, I also thought Mad Max was a waste of celluloid. The resemblance being: the meaningless of life, a ridiculous storyline only an adolescent could believe and an ending that leaves you depressed.The acting was far too serious, rather "over the top" as drama goes. I sensed that the actors were trying there best to believe the lines given them throughout this unbelievable premise of a story thus their intense consentration is mistaken for acting. The storyline is: nothing is real except what is really real and no one knows what's real except for the real people. In other words we are not really here, we are somewhere else, we just think we're here, consequently not knowing where "here" is, we need someone to tell us where we are. If that sounds familiar to you you're right. Charlie Manson brainwashed his tribe into believing that same philosophy! Between these struggles of belief and disbelief are characters that can survive all manner of certain death and then wind up in another scene trapped, helpless and whimpering. Maybe I missed something looking at my watch. Matrix is the zenith of a heterosexual teen-age boys fantasy-adventure if they find distinguishing right from wrong in their lives bothersome. No wonder it was the favorite movie of the two Columbine students who slaughtered their classmates. But hey, it's just a movie, right? If you love both visual and audial effects then this could be a movie worth seeing as a novelty, because the characters take second billing in this multi-million dollar epic devoted to state of the art movie magic, just don't get sucked into the underlying shell game philosophy that the film espouses I must say again the sound effects are astonishing, be sure to play the DVD through your surround system, for that alone I stayed around for the finish, otherwise I would have had to ask somebody how it ended.

Summary: If you suffer from paranoia, do not watch this movie.
Review: The MAtrix is probably the best movie I have seen all year. I am a huge Stare Wars fan, but let me tell you this movie puts Star Wars to shame. The story is excellent. I am a writer myself and I only wish I had written this one. So, Keeanu Reeves isn't a very good actor, so what, the guy is getting better. Look at Brandon Lee, it wasn't until the Crow that he found his niche. I believe that Reeves has found his in this movie. Lawrence Fishburn is in top form for this movie. I would suggest that anyone watch this movie, except maybe those who suffer from paranoia.

Summary: One of the worst movies I have ever seen.
Review: THe Matrix is probably the worst movie I have ever seen. Keanu Reeves' acting is horrible, as well as the rest of the cast. The story has been repeated in over a hundred different movies, the whole "machines have taken over the world" thing. Most of the movie is mindless violence with flahy special affects. And how am I upposed to feel sympathy for Neo when the acting is so poor. I cannot believe the Matrix got such rave reviews.

Summary: There's better sci-fi out there
Review: The Matrix is pure fluff with some style. Granted, the special effects were great, but the plot loopholes are just too much to take. For instance, why do supposed " freedom fighters " kill innocent human SWAT members? How can Keannu destroy an entire office floor and hit everything except a sitting-still Fishburne? Why would a computer create " agents " and give them less than perfect aim? The plot is nothing new and occasionally lapses into gibberish. It's a shame that people are calling this the future of sci-fi. If you ask me, I would much rather watch good sci-fi like 2001 and Alien. Do yourselves a favor and watch a show like The Outer Limits for better sci-fi on a way smaller budget.

Summary: This movie kicks cyberass!
Review: The Matrix is quite possibly the best movie I have seen in the last two years! I enjoyed the superior cinematography and special effects. I have heard that the Matrix is only the first installment in what is supposed to be a trilogy. With a strong showing at the box office, I believe that this rumor could be a fact. To those who say that Reeves is a lowsy actor, you get up on stage and try it! Let me remind you that he has been the focal point of many hit films and a few that even got recognition from critics and film review boards. You must see this flick, it is cool.
