Summary: The 'magic' doesn't last.
Review: This movie is five years old now. It has spawned two sequels, and the Animatrix, and by the middle of 2002, the famous "Bullet Time" sequence had been spoofed in over 20 different movies. So to say the whole design of the movie is getting a little tedious now is an understatement now. The movie was revolutionary when it first started out, but now so many people have 'copied' the Wachowski brothers ideas, it's just not so great a film anymore. Well, the film is great, if very much about the talk rather than the action.Matrix Revolutions has just come out on DVD. After the Matrix, Reloaded and Revolutions had a lot to live up to, and got absolutely slated in the press. I've been reading reviews for the DVD of Revolutions, and some of them have been very misleading - particularly one, which said it had no DVD extras. A sure sign of a reviewer not being able to be bothered to check out their facts first, when in fact, it's a 2-disc set, with a lot of extras. Anyway, I just wanted to have a small rant about that :) before continuing. I have to rant to someone. There's a lot of hard work put into the filming of the Matrix, as you can see just by watching it. Before filming, the main actors spent time with martial arts experts learning the fight movies, from October 1997-March 1998. Funnily enough, the actors thought originally this would only take a few weeks! Carrie Anne Moss was so afraid that she would get recast when she twisted her ankle, that she kept it quiet, which must have been extemely difficult! There are many references that the Wachowski brothers have included in this, from comic books, to movies, to people! There are quite a few references to Alice In Wonderland; the traitor is called Reagan, and wants to become someone important and remember nothing when he leaves the Matrix, which could refer to former US President Ronald Reagan; when Neo is in the elevator to go and see the Oracle, he can see KYM carved into the wall, which refers to Kym Barrett, a costumer designer; and Neo's room number is 101 and Room 101 was the place in George Orwell's book "1984" where people were sent to be tortured and would end up believing something that wasn't true. (!) Apparently, principal photography wrapped at 1:01am with the scene where the characters are inside the wall, climbing down. Principal photography took 25 weeks/118 days. Before the Matrix, Keanu Reeves hadn't really had a major box office hit since maybe Speed in 1994. And there were a couple of good films inbetween that didn't get the recognition they deserved! :) But the Matrix trilogy has really propelled him to stardom, but no doubt, he'll leave it all behind now, and do some more 'bad' films. I suppose everyone will always say this is the best of the trilogy. But once you have the first, you have to get the rest just to complete the trilogy. It's ridiculous to have 2 out of 3, or 1 of 3. The bit I hate about the whole movie, is the use of guns. They're overly used, and overall, guns are way overused in movies these days. But that's just my opinion.

Summary: The Matrix : Real or Not
Review: This movie is full of great action packed stunts, moves, and special effects. Even though most of the special effects were created using a green room and computers, thwe still have the same effect as they live special effects do. The director has a way of making you feel like you are part of the action. He puts you right up close to what is happening, making it almost as if you are that character. It even makes you wonder if there really is something blinding us from the truth.

Summary: An action-packed movie that makes you stop and think
Review: This movie is full of special effects that will dazzle you. However, I found the story of the movie more interesting than the effects. I do not want to give away the point of the movie, but let me say that this movie is absolutely worth the price.

Summary: don't be a sheep
Review: this movie is fun to watch, but so many people devote their lives to proclaiming how great it is, the script is weak, and and the stylizing is bleak, boring and cliche, but the action seens are very well done, i just wish they where in a different movie and with a story that did have so many loose ends, but you will probably love it

Summary: Incredible
Review: This movie is good on so many levels that it cannot be fully described in less than 1000 words. Of course, I will try. Cinematography- The special effects in this movie are like none ever before seen. Aspects such as perspective and shot angle are also masterfully done. Story- fast-paced and engrossing The authors manage to provide a sci-fi explanation for virtually every major trend in religious thought, as well as many popular superstitions and definite allusions to Jungian psychological theory. acting- Although Reeves does occasionally add a little cheese to the story, even he can't manage to screw this up. Overall, excellent performances were turned in by the entire cast.

Summary: Cheap Rip Off.
Review: This movie is good. It just has one problem which makes this movie stink. Most of its ideas were stolen off of Jack L. Chalker's books titled the Wonderland Gambit. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen type movie. I liked it but they shouldn't steal others ideas without permission or compensation.
