Summary: One of the best sci-fi fantasy films I have seen.
Review: What is the Matrix? I wasn't quite sure what to expect the first time I saw The Matrix. It looked like it would yet another special-fx movie with a boring cast (Keanu Reeves) and no story. But was I pleasently surprised. Although I could still never refer to Keanu Reeves as talented actor at least I can say he has been in a movie worth shelling out $7.50 for at the theatre. The Matrix gave me a new perspective on society. In many ways we too live in a matrix--a future that is decided for us from the day we are born. It makes you wonder if what we see and do is real or maybe we are living in a dream world. It shows just exactly what can happen once you become to dependent on your own creations. Now that's a scary thought--you invent a machine to do your chores and it instead revolts against you and takes over the world. It proves that ignorance is bliss, but that if you really want to enjoy your life you need to learn new things everyday. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone.

Summary: matrix a movie a science
Review: What is the Matrix? That's the question everyone's looking to answer in this sci-fi spectacular from Wachowski brothers. One thing it was -- groundbreaking both in the spectacular special effects that we've since taken for granted.
Computer hacker extraordinaire Neo (Reeves) has this gut feeling that life isn't all that it seems to be. Turns out he's right in a big way. A group of revolutionaries led by the thought to be mythical Morpheus (Fisburne) open his eyes to the Matrix.
The Matrix, it turns out, is nothing more than an elaborate computer generated reality intended to mollify humanity who are in reality nothing more than sheep or in this case a renewable energy source, to feed the machines that have inherited the Earth.
Morpheus believes Neo is "The One", a prophesized savior who can bend the Matrix to his own will who will eventually lead humanity out of slavery.

Summary: The Matrix is all that and more.
Review: What is the matrix? Well let me tell you it's one heck of a movie. I saw this on DVD and I was blown away. It was beter than the theater. The sound, intense graphics and picture quality was all too much. This movie, to me, is one of the best action and sci fi movies ever made. With a stunning story line every time you go to sleep you will think if you will wake up in a different world.

Summary: Don't think I blinked through the entire show!
Review: WHAT IS THE MATRIX? Within this question lies the very essence of the movie. "Mind-blowing"? Today's special effects thrillers toss this and other extreme terminology around loosely. But what of the first movie since the Star Wars Trilogy to actually EARN this description? This is it, friends, an out and out mind-blower! The cast, plot, and effects of The Matrix combine to make this the film achievement of the decade.

Summary: Bullet Time
Review: What is the Matrix?!? - A Quite Amazing film. The Story line being quite complex however, so you might have to sit down and watch this one a few times. I have seen this film so many times I have lost count, The effects in the film are so outstanding they will blow you away. One of the stand out effects for me was Bullet time - never been seen before except on Japenese films, Andy and Larry Wachowski (Bound) really push the computer effects to the limit when Neo (Keanu Reeves) decides to dodge bullets fired from an enemy gun. The Story line basically goes like this. A computer Hacker named Allias Neo (Keanu Reeves) is searching for the question, the question is "What is the Matrix?", he thinks that when he finds the answer to this it will make sense of his life. Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) Is the comander of a ship who is searching for the one, now he has found Neo he thinks that his search is over.

Summary: GOOD MOVIE, RENT THIS
Review: What is this movie but a bunch of elves, dwarfs and fairys running around and killing each other over a wedding ring? It's all bad acting from the word go, and the music can't hype up what the story lacks. I have a theory on why people love these movies; they feel that because the directors and actors and writers try so hard to make an "Epic Saga of Biblical Proportions," that they (the movie-goers), must give the film makers positive reviews just for the effort. I am different. I will not give good reviews to a movie just because it's ten billion hours long. Good is good, fairyish is fairyish and my time is too important, as is yours, to be wasted on this midevil drivle. And now I will cast a spell. I call it the "I'm to influenced by movie advertising and special effects to think for myself spell." See, it's already working. Now go out and see the whole trilogy, fairy.

Summary: It's the cheesiest!
Review: What is this? Wanna-be Hong Kong movie + wanna-be Western movie + Wanna-be SF? I felt kinda sorry for all the money that spent on that movie. Yes, the special effects and all that but nothing impressive. But if you liked it, then go to watch "The Cell". You'll probably like it, too.

Summary: Defining the start of the New Millenium
Review: What more can be said about this groundbreaking film? It absolutely redefined the entire action genre, and did so with unrivaled flair and panache. The film does for Generation Y what the original "Star Wars" did for the younger half of GenX. Not only are the film's special effects groundbreaking and visually stunning, but the action is superb as well. From dazzling mid-air martial arts to bullet dodging to the shoot-em-up "lobby" scene, it is little wonder that this was the first DVD in my collection. My only regret is that I never experienced this film in a theater--I saw it for the first time on fullscreen VHS, which simply does not do it justice. The movie succeeds on all levels, but perhaps the thing that most clearly indicates the greatness of this movie is that I never tire of watching it again. The special features on bullet time and the commentary tracks are insightful and interesting, making Matrix a must-have for any DVD collection.
