Summary: This movie is ONE WILD RIDE!
Review: I'ts not often you get to see a movie that hits you HARD from the opening scenes and doesn't let up until it's over. What I liked about this movie was the fact that the plot isn't clear to the viewer for some time. That should be annoying, but it's not. The special effects and the way the story unfolds holds your interest in an unbreakable grip. And as the plot become clear, well, to borrow a line from the movie: "Buckle your seat belt Dorothy, cause Kansas is going bye-bye!

Summary: Not THAT original.
Review: I've always called the first Matrix film a rip-off. It's a mix of many different films put together with important parts stolen from the Terminator (robots rule the future and have enslaved the remainder of humanity), Total Recall (futuristic 'Is it a dream or reality' sci-fi) and even Johnny Mnemonic (futuristic cyberpunk genre starring Keanu Reeves as a guy who can plug computers into his head and 'go into them'), plus various other works by William Gibson and a lot of Anime.It does deliver a lot of potential (that the sequels failed to honor) and has been influential on post-modern action but no matter how much I know The Matrix is loved I just can't get over the fact that I've seen most of it in other movies. It's the style of the Matrix that's more fondly cherished than the story. It won 4 technical Academy Awards, proving that all the Matrix is is eye-candy. Call that narrow-minded if you want but I believe this movie is no more than a very, very popular cult movie. A contradiction in terms yes, but still the most appropriate way of describing it. I only bought this DVD because it was super-cheap and came in a new purple keep-case instead of the flimsy old snappers. The DVD is in 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen and has Dolby 5.1 sound.

Summary: WHOAH!!!! The Best Movie This Year!!!!
Review: I've been waiting for this Dvd ever since March 31st 1999 the day The Matrix came out in theaters I was there for the 1st show of the day and I was totally blown away by this movie. This is the most visually stunning and original movie I have seen in a long time easily the Best Movie I Have Seen This Year!!! Most movies have me getting antsy in my seat before the standard 90 minute movie is over but the Matrix which runs almost 2 and a half hours had me asking for more after it was over This is not your average big-budget actioneer (most of which I dont care for because of their lack of imagination and storylines)The Matrix on the other hand offers an immersing story, revolutinary state-of-the-art-effects, Great characters, Mind Blowing Action and Kung-Fu sequences, and camera work that takes you on a roller coaster. Dvd offers a ton of extras like "Follow the white rabbit" and many other hidden extras only wish I had Dvd-rom on my computer to access the other extras like script to storyboards, Trailers to tests to see if your "THE ONE". I believe this movie is a landmark a pioneering film that will be looked back upon as the movie that started a whole new style of imaginative filmmaking. Iv'e seen this movie 5 times already and it just keeps getting better, Well anyway I can't tell you what The Matrix is you have to see it for yourself!!!!

Summary: best sci fi I've seen in years
Review: I've enjoyed intelligent sci fi films, such as Blade Runner and RoboCop (the first), and this movie definately fights its way to the top of my list. I am in my forties, a woman, and I still loved it. The story line helps you overlook the flaws in some of the "logic," but the special effects are superb. Give it a try, even if you are wary of special effects laded sci fi movies.

Summary: Technically the best
Review: I've grown up with movies starting in the 50's, with the all-to-obvious special effects, until now with Matrix. I was blown away. And the extras on the DVD showing how they were created didn't take a thing away from the wonderful complexity of what they created.
Rating:
Summary: Still one of the best
Review: I've had this DVD for a while but never written a review. Still stands as one of my favorites - not just because it's a good movie, but because the extras on the DVD were so well done.

Summary: Good, but overrated.
Review: I've heard people say this is the best movie they've ever seen. I don't agree with that, but I do think it's a pretty good movie. The effects are great, the story is pretty good (the idea is especially interesting and discussion-invoking), but the characters aren't very interesting. The worst part is that you never learn about the supporting characters before they're blown away. The addition of more info on them, plus just a little humor to crack the characters' stone-cold faces, would have made this a 5-star movie, not just a 4-star.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: I've never seen a movie quite like it. The special effects are awesome. This movie was action packed and even had romance! Throughout the entire video, all you can do is think!
