Summary: Great Movie
Review: The Matrix was a splended example of what computer technology can do to enhance our viewing and entertaining capabilities. When you watch this movie, you must use an open mind. Keanu Reeves is excellent as always. Great movie!

Summary: VR, CG experience I (sadly) won't forget..........
Review: The Matrix was a waste of my time. I could have spent the money on something useful. The acting, trite and sometimes melodramatic, did not help things at all. The special effects, sadly, are the only high points in this film. Judging by the trailers and teasers, I thought we were in for a treat and that this was going to be the kind of movie that defines a decade, the kind we'll be telling our grandchildren about. I was sorely mistaken. I always enjoy a good story, but this is one place I looked and failed to find one. The script was filled with trite remarks and predictable dialogue. This movie was basically nothing but a very expensive cut-and-paste job, blatantly stealing ideas from predecessors -- I found many John Woo, Ghost In The Shell, and Akira ideas here, among others. Is this cutting edge? Is this the best they could do? I hope not. Find something better to do with your time.

Summary: Wow! It's like a two hour rollercoaster ride!
Review: The Matrix was an awesome cinema experience - if you didn't see it on the big screen you really missed something! This film is awesome because it scores on two fronts.Firstly it's an incredible story, a dark thought-provoking futuristic sci-fi thriller - the main premise of the movie will blow you away the first time you see it. Secondly, The Matrix looks and sounds incredible. It's beautifully shot, the action sequences are some of the best I have EVER seen on film. The main players all trained with martial arts experts full time for 4 or 5 months prior to shooting - and it shows. Add in a hard pumping soundtrack, and The Matrix is like a heart stopping ride for both your eyes and your mind.

Summary: techno-savvy movie with a great cast-save one.
Review: The matrix was an extremely entertaining film. The key was this for me: In todays motion picture industry, it seems that George Lucas's ILM can make anything appear before our eyes, but in the Matrix-the effects actually seem original and groundbreaking. The plot was not as good as Reeves's "The Devil Advocate" but was certainly above average for a film of this genre. I give it four stars, with a recommendation to anyone except those rediculous nitpicky reviewers that compare everything to the best movies in history.

Summary: DIGITAL MASTERPIECE!
Review: The Matrix was AWESOME! This movie is spellbinding! The Matrix asks the question: "what is real?" Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves...DUH!) is an average guy, who is also a computer hacker who goes by the alias NEO. Neo wants to know what the Matrix is. Well, he soon finds out, and also finds out that he is prophecized to save the world! After the frightening truth is revealed, Neo trains for his mission: Destroy the Matrix. This action and violence packed movie will keep you guessing until the end! The whole SHABANG is great: the actors, the plot, the action, but mostly the special effects! The plot is delivered to you in such a conceiveable manner, that you will find yourself feeling the back of your head! (watch the movie and you will understand) This is a MUST SEE! Do not miss this face-paced digital masterpiece! Remember, THERE IS NO SPOON! Also, be sure to pick up the Soundtrack too. GREAT SONGS!

Summary: Real? What is real then?
Review: The Matrix was brilliant, superb special effects, excellent storyline which has the ability to play on your mind for ages afterwards. Wouldn't it be weird if life were actually like that and none of us knew, all going about our daily business with not a clue. When Keanu Reeves does find out the truth however, it was interesting to see how it made him violently sick, mind you, so would you be if you had been fed lie after lie all your life and then found out what the truth really was - rather like changing eating habits after a lifetime of rubbish, he must have wondered what had hit him, especially as it was more bizarre than he had ever imagined. I have no idea when The Matrix II is coming out, all I do know is, when it does appear I will be purchasing it. Great film!

Summary: Totally shocking... Just amazing.
Review: The Matrix was excellent. Everything about it was so sci-fi, and it all fit the main theme perfectly. Just when you thought the movie was getting boring, (which may have been once) suddenly everything went on edge. The effects in the movie were some of the best i've seen, and just the concept alone was mind-boggling. If you watch this movie, and you hate it, you have absolutely no taste for a good sci-fi movie! I would give this movie a 6th star, except they don't allow it... =)

Summary: The Matrix is whatever you want it to be
Review: The Matrix was hailed as the best action thriller of the year, and I have to say I have never seen fight scenes like them, the only film that comes anywhere close is the excellent Blade. A brilliant script, fantastic performances from the cast, and a good directing job have combined to make this film highly watchable to anybody. However the categorisation of sci-fi action thriller is often met with cries of 'Oh no I won't like that' or 'It's really not what I like to watch', but trust in me even if this is not the kind of film you would normally watch it is well worth a look in, and that much it certainly deserves. Keanu Reeves is on top form as Neo, the main character, expelling rumours of his sawdust like brain, wooden acting talent, and general stupidity. This is him at his best and he is as good as any big name I've seen recently. Laurence Fishburne plays the arcane and sinister Morpheus to a tee, his riddles will drive you insane after a while, but that is part of the film, and watching how the riddles solve themselves is highly enthralling. Carrie-Ann Moss is good in her supporting role as Trinity, but in my opinion it's Hugo Weaver as Smith, the patronising agent who steals the show, he is the character you love to hate, but you can't help but like his character, he's so devious. The Matrix is a brilliant film, it's plot however is highly complicated, and it helps to have someone to explain it to you, or at least watch it twice. You may be tempted to give up due to the complexity of it all but be patient and trust me this film is more than worth perservering with, and even if you don't like it, just give it a try. Enjoy viewing.
