Summary: Matrix Moments
Review: I watched the Matrix and found some really interesting parallels between the Matrix and some of the stories in the bible. I'm not saying the Matrix is a Christian movie but I had some important scenes in it that were very close to what happened in the bible. Such as, the ones that I found most amazing were how Neo is like Jesus. Throughout the movie he was referred to as "the one" and he had come to "save" the world. In the beginning one of the characters actually said, "You're my savior, my own personal Jesus Christ". What I found really interesting was how Neo had gotten shot but came back to life and saw the world in such different eyes, it was the same when Jesus dies on the cross and he had also came back to life when he had risen. Maybe this is all a coincident but the movie parallels with other people in the bible as well. Such as Morpheus is like John the Baptist, they both have come to prepare the way for the messiah which is Neo/Jesus. They were both mistaken as to being the actual saviors but they insisted that "the on" will be so much better and be able to do things you couldn't imagine! This movie got me thinking about things that I never would when watching this type of movie. It was excellent, and even though people interpret it differently, for me it was the above and for others it may be the action, with or without my interpretation it was an awesome movie!

Summary: Oh, boy! I'm Impressed!
Review: I watched the movie on Saturday in a theater here in Drammen. Today is Thursday - and I just cannot get the movie out of my head. The story line is captivating, you get a nagging "what if this was true" in your head. The special effects on The Matrix are state of the art and extremely impressive! I am an F/X buff, so this element does NOT pull down the overall impression of the movie either...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Extraordinary action and Impressive effects
Review: I watched the special feature available on the DVD which shows the making of the film. Excellent! I have a great appreciation and reverence for martial arts...the extensive training that went into making this film was manifested in the realistic fighting scenes. I have seen this movie a few times already, and never grow tired of watching Neo and Trinity kick Agent-butt...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: AWESOME! DON'T MISS IT!
Review: I watched this film twice and loved it! It was thought-provoking, tantalizing, invigorating and exciting. The Matrix requires the viewer to actually THINK and its story is deliciously deep and twisting, its concept both frightening and infuriating.

I don't like films that depend on special effects. I also don't like films that advertise them and execute them poorly. The Matrix used special effects about as well as I have ever seen in any film. Not overdone, and when used, executed to absolute perfection. The use of slow-motion combined with comic-book style action was the beyond anything I have ever seen--simply mind-blowing!

As for nuts and bolts, this film used clever angles and interesting perspectives, focusing in on otherwise mundane situations (falling bullets for instance) to suddenly make them thrilling. The sound effects and music were perfect, not blowing out your eardrums, enhancing--not taking away from--the pace of the story, and adding to the overall enjoyment of the film.

The cast was excellent. Nobody was overblown, nobody "stole" the show to take attention away from the others; the film took time to let us get to know the characters, both the good and bad.

As you can see, I loved this film. I would not give it a four star rating because it did have some flaws that I felt hurt the story, although I happily forgave the few problems that I immediately noticed. However, I cannot be overly critical of a film that did such an otherwise astounding job from start to finish--but naturally, I wish it had been perfect!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Enter the Review
Review: I watched this movie because it had Elrond (Hugo Weaving), but then I found out it was good!

aliens conquered the world and attached all of huminity into a computer. Some realized it was all fake and escaped. The agents (the computer's physical form) will stop at nothing to kill the escaped humans and to keep humanity. The hero, Neo, begins to realize he is destined to end the human/computer war. Humanity will risk everything to keep him, and the computer will stop at nothing to destroy him.

The special effects are breathtaking. the people in general are somewhat interesting. Neo and agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) are the interesting ones. You should see it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Where the heck is the action scenes?
Review: I watched this movie on the cinema and then I bought it on DVD. The first thing I wanted to see again on the DVD was the shootout when he hides behind the walls in a building and he spins in the air and shoots the enemys at the same time. But, where can I find the scene?which time on the counter? I havn't found it yet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awsome
Review: I watched this movie over 15 times, 5 on vhs and 10 on DVD(much better, yet my decision is totally biased, cause DVD is so cool) and i never got tired of it, it took me 2 tries to fully understand it but the special effects and action sequences were the best ever, and when you see keenu reeves walk through the metal detector with 22 guns strapped to his body it somehow makes the whole movie worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY AWESOME
