Summary: An excellent idea poorly executed
Review: To me, The Matrix is a film made by nerds, for nerds (I can see the 'unhelpful votes' tally rising as I type). The Wachowski brothers, like the audience this film is aimed at, clearly see themselves as Neo, transporting themselves into a CGI otherworld to save mankind, with mysterious, beautiful women like Trinity falling at their feet. It's as if they are trying to reassure themselves that they aren't really nerds and that sitting in front of a computer is actually exciting, or better yet...dangerous. And herein lies the problem. The Matrix has an unfriendly, exclusive feel to it; unwelcoming to the computer illiterate. It is also very slow, and the device of freezing characters mid-fight destroys any sense of building tension or momentum during the many action sequences. However, there is much going for it. It is simply one of the most beautifully made films I have ever seen. Bill Pope's green-hued cinematography is a standout; and the teams behind the effects, sound and editing certainly earned the Oscars bestowed upon them. The most interesting character is the one everyone else I know seems to hate - Hugo Weaving's agent. His dry, precise delivery and mannered poise is really quite entertaining to watch. Anyway, thanks largely to Keanu Reeves' attractive screen presence, The Matrix makes for a diverting enough two hours or so of your time

Summary: Surprisingly good
Review: To preface this review...I am not much of an action fan, and CERTAINLY not a sci-fi fan. It just isn't my choice of genre. So, when everyone praised this movie and all of its special effects, I was skeptical. I have to admit, though, the special effects blew me away from beginning to end, and the plot was surprisingly good too. I first saw this movie on VHS and immediately wanted it on DVD...the DVD definitely adds a lot of dimensions that you can't get the full effect of on VHS. I highly recommend this film for everyone, not just for sci-fi or action fanatics.

Summary: Matrix on DVD, magical
Review: To put it simply The Matrix is a special effects laden Sci-Fi film. Although the Special Effects and action sequences are great, they are very little compared to the films great script and acting. The best performance in it comes from the comic relief provied my Mouse(matt doran. Mouse never shuts-up, but in the procces of talking, poses some interesting questions. The Matrix is one of the few Sci-Fi films I have seen that is enjoyed by non-sci-fi fans. So what if all Keanu reeves does is look confused? that's the point. So what if the end is predictable, that just sets it along with Star Wars as a modern day myth. --This text refers to the DVD edition.

Summary: Simply the best DVD ever made
Review: To put it simply, The Matrix is the best DVD ever created by mankind. But a little strange. I'm not trying to put it down, (because personly I think it deserves 6 stars) but Neo having 2 lives? Coming back to live? I don't know about you, but I take that as being a little out of the ordinary. But like Final Fantasy, you need to watch it 2 or 3 times for it to make complete sense. But I just watch it for the action, not the storyline(although it still has a pretty good one). And the whole thing's not people kissing, witch most intense action movies are.But who cares, it's still A MUST HAVE! CLICK THAT ADD TO SHOPING CART BUTTEN NOW! YOU WON'T REGRETTE IT!

Summary: Cyberspace will never be the same.
Review: To sum it up: Not what it was all dressed up to be. It was better. This thought-provoking theater explosion features a plot like no other, but is sometimes a throwback to old horror movies in their approach. You'll find special effects that never end, and hundred of people being riddled with bullets in the last half-hour, which is basically the whole movie. Like George Lucas' Star Wars movies, it keeps you waiting until the very end to see the most breathtaking action. Be prepared though; if you couldn't handle James Bond, this one will knife you in the head. A must-see for every teenager!

Summary: Follow the white rabbit
Review: To think that humans are nothing more than energy for machines. That the world, as we know it, has been pulled over our eyes to blind us from the truth! If you have not yet seen this movie, you are probably dead or in a coma. It's a mind bending movie that should not be missed. From the storyline to the sights and sounds, it's a visual candy store that will make you wonder for quite some time, what if this were true? Rent it, buy it, do whatever it takes to see this movie. If you have a good sound system, crank it up as loud as you dare, then sit back and?
