Summary: No, it's not perfect, but it's still fun!
Review: Yes, there are some parts of the story that don't make sense (if they just need a body for the energy it produces, what's wrong with dogs or cows?) But to hell with that, it's still a very, very fun ride, and I'll watch it many times. As to technical problems; it appears that the problems are with the players. This disc is one of the few to exercise this many features in the DVD standard, and some players (particularly older ones) can't handle it. My advise? Buy this disc and see if your player can handle it, and if it can't, get the maker to fix it; this would be a "quality of workmanship" error, since the disc DOES MEET THE DVD SPEC. Worth the price just to make sure your player is up to snuff. (FWIW, I think any new player can handle it).

Summary: The extra goodies on the DVD are better than the movie.
Review: Yes, they get points for it the first people to do the particular FX. Yes, I like Keanu Reeves. However, he was better as Siddhartha in "Little Buddha" (1994). Their little trick with pills reflecting off the classes was good.They have rehash stories. This is a formula movie. From Outer limits among others. All this virtual stuff has been around for ages. This is just a pure Shoot-em-up movie without any real breakthroughs and if you go for popcorn you will not missed the plot.

Summary: The Matrix
Review: Yes, this all the amazing things you heard about. This movie is nothing sort of amazing. Neo wakes up in a world where nothing is real, everythings fake. A woman meets him at a club and tells him to follw her, he does, and ends up meeting a warrior named Morpheous, who tells him about the world he lives in and about the truth, the machines control everything and a small group of people have awaken from there alternate reality, The Matrix, and that he is the chosen one that will save them from the machines...

Summary: Cliched and dense but never boring
Review: Yes, this is a somewhat convoluted story and pretty much "copies" many Phillip K. Dick stories, but I can say I was never truly bored. There's always something to find out in this movie, it just never reaches it's full potiental. And I really didn't think the visual effects were all that great. But I am looking forward to the sequels, but I'm not going crazy over them.

Summary: Over-rated, Unoriginal, Poor Acting, Poor Action - Nice FX..
Review: Yes, You're thinking i'm some moron who doesn't know what i'm talking about... But guess what? I do. Its amazing - most people think this is the best film ever... its really sad. This is my opinion - however, if you look a little closer after what I just said - you'll realize, that The Matrix isn't all that, and used fx to cover the "been done before" script, and a few plot holes... Anyway, here we go. *Spoilers* We already know that most of the movie ripped off "Dark City", "Lawnmower Man", and of course "Metropolis." The movie seems a little "too" identical to them... Take Dark City for example - In that movie, we see bad guys talking about how they really hate their kind... Matrix also does that. D. City was written before Matrix... The Professional also known as Leon' had their ending stolen, which was surprising - because some of it looked like it was "from shot to shot." There are more movies then just Dark City that have been ripped off, people - ignore the fx - and almost watchable performances, and chances are you're gonna see a story - that has been done a number of times. This is also my favorite - I was impressed with the new camera angles, and special fx... However, with two years of training for the kung fu fights - you would think they could have done a better job... Keanu can't fight, obviously can't act - and I did "not" pay $7.50 to see him say "whoa." And if you think the bullettime (dodging) scenes were new... guess again - They are also done (with arrows) in John Woo's Hard Target. The staircase sequence (in the opening) has been done before and a lot better in John Woo's A Better Tomorrow II... hmm... you know - all the action styles have been stolen from Mr. Woo... Its really sad. The Whackowski Brothers should know better then to take from Mr. Woo, because he is always one step ahead - creating something bigger, better, and utterly breathtaking. The only "good" acting in this movie was from Lawrence Fishburne... everyone else was really laughable! The soundtrack was very nice, and Don Davis's score was actually decent. But, sadly thats about it - and for other plot holes, that I didn't mention - check out imdb.com , they actually show one that is very noticable (if you ignore the fx)... see - FX can't make a movie. I'm sure, what you're thinkin is - i've heard many people say this crap and don't know what they are talking about... but - guess what, why don't you rent some of the other Sci-Fi films, and John Woo films that I mentioned - chances are you'll notice that the only saving grace of The Matrix was just fx and hype.

Summary: History in the making
Review: You don't need me to tell you how incredibly amazing this movie is, how stunning the graphics, or how complex the plot. It is quite obvious already, seeing as The Matrix has been out on DVD for more than a few months and it is STILL at the top of the charts. The Matrix is about a man named Neo who leads a double life. He contributes to society just as everybody else does, but somehow he knows that there is something missing in his life: The Matrix. He doesn't know what it is, and he doesn't know who "Morpheus" is, but he's been looking for both his whole life...and both have been searching for him. This is a movie about realization and fate. Both play a big part in Neo's character development. Aside from all this, The Matrix is a sci-fi action thriller. It has been compared to the great "Star Wars" and rightly so because the screenplay for this movie was written as only the second chapter of a trilogy. Sound familiar? In a year or two, the sequel to The Matrix will come out, followed by a prequel (so for those of you who pooh-poohed the seemingly brief romantic development of Trinity and Neo, it's only the beginning). If you want to buy a movie worth watching twice, or 50+ times, I assure you that this is the one and only choice. Think of every genre there is; it's right in this film. Moreover, this movie has revolutionalized movie making. It's special effects alone are worth buying the dvd for. But the most compelling reason: If you want to fuss over and obsess about something truly wonderful that represents how advanced our culture is, WATCH THIS.
