Summary: Perhaps the most influential (best?) film of the year
Review: Certaily the best sci-fi film of the year. Easily Accessable to non-sci fi fans as well. Neat underlying themes: "There is a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path". Great religious undertones and faith exploration. Thought provocing evolutionary themes: Man vs. Computer. Hugely entertaining! Great action and awesome special effects. Cinematograpghy was fantastic. Notice the color differentiation in the different worlds. Pokes at our natural curiousity for the truth. What is the Matrix? Perhaps the best and easily most fun film of the year.

Summary: Visually Stunning !
Review: The storyline provided the vehicle for an absolutely visually stunning movie. Special Effects provided a part of the thrill but the Blade Runner-eqse film-noir is nearly as equally stunning.

Summary: killer movie
Review: The Matrix is one of those movies that defines what DVD is all about - incredible action and sound, not to mention a pretty good story line and direction. The Matrix gets a spot in the home DVD library because you can watch it over and over.

Summary: Great movie and awesome sound effects!
Review: This is probably one of the best sci-fi movies of all times. And watching it in DVD makes it even better! The documentaries and making of the movie are a great plus in this DVD edition. The only complain I have is that it only comes in widescreen format. It would have been great if we had a choice of widescreen or fullscreen, like in other DVDs.

Review: total lack of computer & scientific logic by the producer director and script writer, not to mention bad acting bu the main cast

Summary: Great...
Review: Well, apparently you know what the movie is about, so I'll not dwell on that. But what strikes me is that's how a movie becomes a classic: it has style (great music and direction), intrigue, pathos and even a drop of love-story and, what's more, all together it makes sense and makes you think afterwards, what is unusual! Modern technology and special effects are used to enhance the plot, not to replace it (like in laughable, childish Phantome Menace, Ep. 1). Even Mr. Reeves, whose career soared after some time spent in oblivion, deserves highest merit (of course, apart from the scenes when his head is shaved...)

Summary: The WOW factor
Review: This movie definitely has the WOW factor! The audio and the video on this disc are near perfection! The OSCAR award winning soundtrack,thunders and rocks my surround set-up. Although the disc makes no claims to be encoded with the new EX surround (5.1 Dolby Digital with 1 or 2 center rear surround speakers who's signal is matrixed out of the left and right surround channels,in my case with a Smart Jr. add-on unit,I'm using with my 5.1 reciever), the rear center speaker is very active,as are all the rest of the speakers for that matter,for this action packed thriller! On DVD the special effects are thrilling. Sometimes there's a bit too much shooting,but the very clever story more than makes up for this slight short comming! Besides,some of the bullet special effects are ultra cool! This movie will make your stereo or surround system jump and it sounds even better if you have EX in your system.I recently added EX to audition Star Wars Episode 1 , Japanese Laserdisc which claims to be coded for EX. The Matrix sounds even better using EX,as do most 5.1 soundtracks I've played thru it! This show has the WOW factor! Wow is it a fine movie and the presentation is X-tra WOW!

Summary: This movie was terrific!
Review: It had everyhting that I look for in a fine film. Action, special effects, better than decent acting, rich plotline, and a decent soundtrack. The Matrix conquered all those and more. Put it this way- you need to see it if you haven't already!

Summary: Great Science Fiction -- But Keanu Doesn't Cut It
Review: Excellent science fiction and storytelling. Action and plot are fastpaced, well thought-out and unpredictable. What more can you ask?Well ... how about a different lead. Keanu Reeves is "okay". But for a movie of this intensity, someone is needed with far more charisma and presence. Reeves does better as the beach dude or the introspective brooding type. He just isn't believable as a lead or as a ladies' man -- both his (goofy) looks and his prissiness just don't quite measure up to this level of movie.

Summary: MAXIMUM ROCK
Review: I know this may seem weird, but I have watched this movie everyday for the past 2 weeks. IT ROCKS THAT HARD!
