Summary: The best action/sci-fi movie EVEEERRRR!!!!
Review: This has got to be the coolest action movie ever. It has a very creative and interesting plot, great acting, great cinematography, and best of all, the coolest and most unique action scenes ever, which have inspired many movies after it. They even inspired video games, most notably Max Payne.
Just put it this way, this movie is a work of art. This is one of the few action movies that I feel should have gone up for oscars such as best picture and best director. You can't be a serious action fan if you haven't seen this movie at least five or six times already. Take this advice from the master.

Summary: BREATHTAKING! One of my all-time favorite films
Review: This has to be one of my top 10 favorite films. The plot is unique; a world where virtual reality is more real and more dangerous than actual reality and where the borders between them are tenuous at best. The shock scenes that reveal the truth are so well done, I can't begin to describe them. You just have to experience it. The special effects in this film changed forever how such effects are done in film. The actors move in ways you can't imagine. The Kung-fu scenes are so good, I watch them again and again. Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne and Carrie Ann Moss give phenomenal performances in the Matrix. The entire film is done with such incredible quality of effects, direction and acting, that it's no wonder this was an immediate cult classic. The score is great, too. It's worth having the widescreen edition to appreciate the cinematography, and DVD for the surround sound, as the score is so good.

Summary: Awesome From Beginning To End!!!
Review: This has to be one of the most exciting sci-fi action flicks I have ever seen!! What made it so great was the fact that the actors trained before filming the movie. The storyline made you think, and with the 2+ hours the movie lasted, it didn't drag one bit. I can't wait for the DVD version and all the extras.

Review: THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE SMARTEST ACTION MOVIES MADE IN A LONG TIME. WHEN I FIRST SAW THE PREVIEW, I WAS LEERY. I DIDN'T SEE THE MOVIE UNTIL I WAS BADGERED BY A COUPLE FRIENDS OF MINE, AND IT HAD REACHED THE DOLLAR SHOW. MENTIONING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS MOVIE WOULD RUIN THE MAIN SURPRISE OF IT. SEE THIS MOVIE, THEN BUY IT.

Summary: Good video game, lousy movie, total waste of time
Review: This has to be one of the worst movies of all time. Great special effects but so video games have those and don't purport to be a decent movie. Has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. At least if it was a video game I would have only wasted a quarter.

Summary: Dances with bullets
Review: This is a brilliant film in some ways. It is also a deeply disturbing film in other ways. It is brilliant in the technical execution, the pacing, the atmosphere and tension it creates. It is deeply disturbing in the way it blends religion, violence, reality and fiction. Most of the fascination of this film comes from the American myths it employs to capture the audience. There is the fight for freedom from suppression (what the American Revolution was all about), there is the individual who fights for self-actualization (the self-made man), there is the savior who defeats the empire of evil (the Christian motif), there is romantic love as individual fate (the Hollywood myth). Engrossed as we are, watching these myths unfold in a new story, we do not realize that we enter a matrix of our own making. It is right there in front of us on the screen, or rather, in our heads. "The Matrix" shows us a world that we are supposed to take for real while we are watching. Without our knowing it, we tend to accept the values and myths promoted by the film. That is no problem as far as quintessentially American myths are concerned. But the film also promotes violence as an attractive and appropriate means for solving problems. And not only that. In my opinion, the film also asks us to believe that a savior has the right to kill in order to liberate other people from their wrong beliefs. The disturbing part about this thought is that radicals of all hues (Muslim radicals, Christian radicals, Hindu radicals, Fascists, Communists, you name them) think the same - "a savior has the right to kill in order to liberate other people from their wrong beliefs." Bob Herbert, a columnist in the New York Times, recently wrote an article about violence in America from which I would like to quote a few lines: "The nation is saturated with violence. Thousands upon thousands of murders are committed each year. There are more than 200 million guns in circulation. Murder is so routine, including the killing of children, it doesn't even warrant serious news coverage in most cases. We don't know what to do about all this violence. We don't know how to process it. We don't even know how to cover it. We sensationalize it, glamorize it, eroticize it. We are fascinated, not by the victims (or by the people with serious ideas about how we might prevent some of this violence) but by the killers." As much as I admire "The Matrix" as a film, I think the message it conveys and the beauty of its slow-motion killing scenes contribute to the problem of violence in America. If anything, this film glamorizes violence. And to top it all, it presents the man who fires bullets so skilfully as a savior in the Christian vein: "Neo", the "new man", "The One", reborn after having been shot dead, rising to the skies to liberate us all.
