Summary: I may not know whats real, but this movie is really good
Review: To those who saw Johnny Mnemonic, and thought, there is a lot of potential here but they didn't quite pull it off, The Matrix is the answer. Here we have a scifi movie that doesn't come short on any end. When we look at films which use a great deal of special effects, they form two catagories: Films which have built their plot around the effects and Films which build the effects around the plot. An example of the first would be Star ship troopers...enough said. The Matrix fall under the latter category. Where amazing special effects are used to portray amazing ideas. The Matrix not only uses these effects near to perfection, but takes the genre to a whole other level. The combination of ground breaking special effects, with an intelligent plot, a pinch of Japanese Animation spirit, and martial artestry second to none, makes this I dare say the best Scifi/action movie since Aliens. In one word: Flawless. good night

Summary: Must Have
Review: Today, the Matrix is found in almost any dvd collection, whether part of a larger collection or the only one you own. C'mon, dvd's were made for movies like this. With the Matrix's amazing digital effects, only the clarity of a dvd can do this movie justice. Not to mention, this was a great movie which is spawning two sequels. Got a dvd player? Your next step is to purchase this movie.

Summary: The Best Action Movie of 1999!
Review: Totally cool and awesome! Great action and the best fight sequences outside of Hong-Kong! Came out of the theatre with the same feeling as everybody else - "WOW!". Just don't get too deep into the story, enjoy it for what it is. If you get the DVD, think of it as a good excuse to get that projector and surround sound system! ;-)

Summary: come on guys, just enjoy this fabulous film
Review: True, this movie DID emulate some antecedent sci-fi, action, thriller filcks and all, but the film we saw (and repetitiously enjoy, hopefully) is still undeniably a peice of delicious eye-candy is it not? Yes, there were sporadic incidents which the W-bros used techniques that were seen in other movies (i.e. the scene when Neo touched the broken glass and became something remeniscient of the liquid-metel T-1000 in T-2. i.e. #2, in the showdown between Neo and Agent Smith in the subway where they both exhaust their clips and acknowlege it at an identical moment, which showcased the highlight from the opening Face/off gunfight between two flamboyant actors...), but so what? This doesn't take any pleasure away from the viewer and it pays tributes to 2 of the most explosive action films ever made, what is condemnable about that? For you critical movie-goers out there, just consider all the inferior films in which you busted a communsurate 8 bucks to watch, and for you extremely critical reviewers who diss this movie just because its a genuine crowd pleaser and HAS an abundance of SE's, I advise you to write a critical essay on some other sci-fi action wanna-be that's really worth your effort (i.e. Battlefield Earth, The Avengers, etc.). The Matrix definitely earned itself a place in this over-apreciated genre by smoothly combining thought-provoking elements from others. By the way, for those of you that like The Matrix will surely appreciate Pitch Black as well. Thx for reading this!

Summary: One of the best sci-fi movies ever
Review: Truely makes you think about what is around you, and what you are. It pushes your thought processes to the next level.

Summary: mind-boggling/mind-blowing plot & special effects- THE ONE!
Review: Truly a sci-fi CLASSIC that made the 90's richer in terms of what it means to the internet generation. It unravels a plot that caters to the virtual illusions of cyberspace and the unreality of a real world "as we know it". Lets all TAKE THE RED PILL and indulge ourselves, again and again, in this ONCE IN A LIFETIME escapist ride
Rating: 
Summary: An imaginative, mindblowing SF achievement
Review: Truly one of the best films ever conceived on the desktop. Storyline, special effects, even Keanu's acting are superb. Thought provoking on many levels, not your normal shoot 'em up, predictable action bore.
