Summary: Sci-fi with brains (mmmm, brains)
Review: Very rarely have I watched a movie that was both exciting and intellectually stimulating. Most flicks put all the action on the surface. The Matrix layers the action over a plot with deeper philosophical implications: What is reality? Is the physical world, as I know it, all that there is? Am I in control of my life, or am I under the control of something above and beyond me? Is this greater power good or evil? The film borrows heavily from a syncretic mix of world reglions, most notably Buddhism and Christianity. But the overarching themes of the film are definitely Christian. But beyond this, the film is a technical masterpiece. The visual effects are stunning. In fifty years time, I think the Matrix will be looked upon as one of those seminal works that changed the way movies are made.

Summary: This is what DVD can do
Review: We all know how good the Matrix is. What we need to center on here is what The Matrix DVD is. If anyone wonders why they should get a DVD player, this is the one to show them. Besides a crisp picture and great sounds, The Matrix DVD comes with one of the most comprehensive DVD extra's I have ever seen. Besides the commentaries, we have a few behind the scene documentaries. We have mini-games to play (I love the addictiveness of the little shoot-ep-up. It's like a level from an old arcade game).But the best is the Follow the White Rabbit feature. You play the movie through this option and whenever you see the white rabbit pop on screen, you press your menu button where you are whisked away to a behind the scenes featurette where they show you how they did the scene. When it ends you are plopped right back into the movie from where you left off. Great for a soecial effects mobie like this where you scratch your head and say "How'd they do that?" There is no magician's secrets here, they are all too happy to show you. Excellent DVD.

Summary: warning
Review: This is a warning: this film is NOT a sci-fi movie about hackers. This movie IS a call for VIOLENT MARXIST revolution. This is not a joke. Please think about what it means when they say that "reality is what we make." Please ponder what they are saying when Morpheous says that "..if they are not for us, they are against us..." then they massacre security guards. Please understand what it really means when Neo chooses the RED pill. I am not joking. If you don't believe me, email me, or read the "Manifesto of the Communist Party" by Karl Marx yourself. See this film for what it is, and think about the irony of millions of people enjoying it.
