The Matrix - Platinum Limited Edition DVD Collector's Set

Summary: a cheap reason for expensive effects
Review: This movie is the most disappointing film that I have seen. That doesn't mean it was the worst, just disappointing after such high hopes for it.
It has horrible actors. Keanu Reeves should really not be allowed to play any parts that involve speaking. The lines Trinity (Carry-Anne Moss) are rather uninspiringly lame, akward, and sound so unnatural when she speaks.
The story is based on an interesting idea, that challenges our idea of life. However, the way that it was developed was so terrible. The movie focused more on something that would have cool effects, than something important. The ending was probably the worst. It was dumb, horribly disappointing, and it almost seemed as the director was shooting for generic.
Even most bland action movies at least had cool action sequences if nothing else. The millions of dollars for computer special effects actually detracted from the movie. Most things in the movie, like the fight scene between Neo and Morphius, looked slow and very synthetic. You do have to hand it to the special effects department for some cool looking graphics.
In summary: horrible story +story development, uninspiring script, terrible acting, and slow and artificial action. If you still believe in a good story over overpaid visuals, you should definetly stay clear.

Summary: A MUST-SEE MOVIE
Review: This movie is THE sci-fi film of the 90s. It has suberb visuals and a smart script. The soundtrack also contributes to the atmosphere. The DVD is LOADED with special features and it would be a crime to own a DVD-ROM and not have this movie in your collection.

Summary: Better than Star Wars
Review: This movie is the the coolest idea since the first Star Wars movie. Every penny spent on special effects was well worth it. I'm not much of a Keanu Reeves fan, but he was excellent in this role. I heard a lot of people complain about the ending and I would just like to tell those people that it is a trilogy. By trilogy I mean 3, this is only the first installment of this captivating and intense cinematic experience. See it, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Prepare to experience the Matrix...
Review: This movie is too good to be true. Finally, Hollywood comes out with a movie that has great actors, awesome plot, suspense out the wazoo, and the most incredible special effects. You had better go to the bathroom before the movie starts becuase you will not want to get up at ALL. And when the last hour of the movie comes around, prepare yourself...hoo boy. This is THE ride.

Summary: One word - Whoa!
Review: This movie is too good to put in words. The special effects were great, but not the best reason to see this movie. The story is smartly written and acted out. Keanu Reeves, I know, is not the best actor in the world, but I think he did good as Neo. I actually went to see this in the theater for the special effects, whick my friends say were the best, but I left thinking only about the actual story. I thank my Grandma for buying me this for Christmas. Since then I must have watched it ten times!

Summary: Great Movie
Review: This movie is totaly awsome. The special effects are excellent. This is a must buy film. If you don't buy it you have got to rent it. The acting is okay, but the plot and the special effects make up for that. You have GOT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!

Summary: A masterpeice
Review: This movie is truly a masterpeice. It has a great story and really makes you think about what the matrix is and if it's real or not. Even though you'll ask somebody else and they say, "what are you talking about? It's only a movie!" how do they know? To them the world is real and they are too small-minded to consider the posibility. If you have ever asked the question: What is the matrix?, then this movie is for you, just to find out.

Summary: The Matrix brings home the gold!
Review: This movie is truly fantastic. The way the action scenes are taped in true 3D and in slow motion makes me crazy! I love the way the entire movie pulls you in and makes you wonder if that could ever happen, or if it already has........If you dont have a DVD player, get one and watch this movie in Dolby Digital. It will blow your mind away. Especially the scene where Trinity and Neo go into the office building to rescue Morpheus. A wonderful sci/fi flick for all you computerheads.
