Summary: Nearly a revelation.
Review: To deal with the flaws in 'The Matrix' might take a while. It isn't a high-brow or particularly profound film. What is it? An exhilarating, exhausting, immersive ride through some imaginative filming and unimaginative writing.Complaints about Mr. Reeves can, in my opinion, be more than cancelled out by applause for Mr. Fishburne, who is nothing short of magnificent for the first half of the film. Hugo Weaving is also a great surprise as the inhuman Agent Smith, and should be raking in cash for his next few roles, if there's any justice in this world. Give thanks, please, for the moody and perfectly-placed soundtrack, the clever SFX, and the enthralling fight sequences. Niggles 'The Matrix' may have, but, while you're watching, you won't have the breath to criticise. And that's all you can ask from an action/sci-fi movie. 'Blade Runner' it ain't.

Summary: The Matrix. Almost revolutionary.
Review: This is, without a doubt, one of the best movies to be released in 1999. It's a visionary tale about mankind, that has superb tecnical values. My only complaint it's it's thin screenplay. It has great ideas but if it were a little more consistent and complex, the Wachowsky Brothers could have made a revolution on SF genre. But, as it's stands, it's an excelent movie. With outstanding special effects and great camera work all around. The actors manage to give good performences, specially Laurence Fishburn. It's pace keeps the spectator amazed every minute of it. Visionary, outstanding look but thin in plot (although the plot it's very interesting, it is very short and little complex...) this is a must have for any science fiction fan. The best since Dark City... A cult movie that has very little weaknesses.

Summary: Cyberspace will never be the same.
Review: To sum it up: Not what it was all dressed up to be. It was better. This thought-provoking theater explosion features a plot like no other, but is sometimes a throwback to old horror movies in their approach. You'll find special effects that never end, and hundred of people being riddled with bullets in the last half-hour, which is basically the whole movie. Like George Lucas' Star Wars movies, it keeps you waiting until the very end to see the most breathtaking action. Be prepared though; if you couldn't handle James Bond, this one will knife you in the head. A must-see for every teenager!

Summary: Astounding!
Review: The Matrix is one of my favorite movies. Everything about it is exceptional. The writing, editing, visual effects, acting, plot, etc. I find no flaws with this movie. Not only is this movie a great action flick, but it has a deeper message to be on guard against technology becoming our rulers. I cannot say enough good things about this movie. Rent it, buy it. I promise you'll love it!

Summary: Worth buying a DVD player for
Review: I love this movie. I saw it 3 times in the theater. If you haven't seen it, there are any number of glowing reviews on this page to interest you, but I'm speaking to those people who already like this movie and are debating whether to get the dvd. Get it. The visuals are unbelievably crisp and the sound is very very good. But the extras alone would be worth buying the dvd for. You finally get to see how they do that incredible freeze-frame surround effect, and they also show the actors learning martial arts. Yes, that's really Lawrence Fishburne and Keanu Reeves fighting... they spent 5 months learning how! As you can see, I really enjoy this dvd. If you liked the movie, I'm sure you will, too. Don't hesitate to get it.

Summary: Good but could be better
Review: I was realy excited about the Matrix and for the most part it lived up to my expectations. It has an interesting plot, great special effects, and some incredible action sequences. But despite all these, it isn't "perfect" as many people have claimed and also isn't better than the latest Star Wars film(in fact it has many similiar problems). The actors are a mixed bag. Laurence Fishburne does an excellent job as Morpheus and helps set the tone for the entire film. Keuno Reeves does a decent job as do villians of the film. The real problem is Trinity who is a very one-dimensional character. She is ment to be a strong female lead but ends up just being boring. Another problem is that the fight sequences are way over done. I LOVE martial arts films but the fights look so cheesy that they are funny at times. I know they wanted to make them look realistic but sometimes more is less(Jackie Chan looks subtle in coparison). The story is very interesting but it has a one small problem to it. Without ruin anything for you despite everything the characters do in the film it seems like they are doomed from the start. Even with these problems however the Matrix turns out to be one of the best Sci Fi films available and should not be missed.

Summary: OK but extremely over-rated!
Review: This is a fun sci-fi movie but not at all thought provoking. The film takes itself way too seriously. The alternate world/alternate reality theme simply doesn't remain consistent and consequently just doesn't work. But, if what you want to watch is a fun, silly, but kind of cool movie then watch this. But don't expect much more than that.
