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.

Summary: ..watch for the woman in the red dress..
Review: Science Fiction is a story which can be accomplished without the assist of 'magic'.. although there are some that would say that the Matrix could never happen.. I would challenge that assumption... neuro-interfaces today that could very well be the forerunner of things to come in this area.The film has a lil bit for everyone and is handled quite well.. you have the techie stuff, the conflict, suspense, action.. the only thing lacking as the family pet in peril. The special effect, a necessary component in any movie it seems now-a-days are well done and add to the overall impact of the movie. The interesting premise of this movie, is that the 'reality' that we take for granted each day... is in fact a hoax.. the sensations we experience... the sight, the touch, the smell, the taste, what we hear... are all simulated ... fabricated by a massive computer system running the this 'Matrix' program. Watching the movie provides the diversion we are looking for.. but soon after, at least for a moment, causes us to question our own reality.. ".. what if... what if this was happening to 'me'... how would I know.. ? .." Most will not allow much energy to be devoted to considering such an alternative.. but the fact that they consider it at all.. is to the credit of how the movie was presented. Excellent film.. could never happen for real... right?... (keep an eye out for the woman in the red dress... just in case).

Summary: No problem watching this one over and over and over .....
Review: There have been a few movies that I have no problem watching over again within a relatively short time span. This undoubtedly is one of the top members of this set. If you haven't seen it ... see it. Do yourself a favor though and wait until you have a chance to watch it in digital surrond, hi-res large screen, and crank it up!

Summary: It's a good thing Keanu is cute
Review: Another bad movie by Keanu Reeves. I've been told that if I didn't like this movie it meant that I didn't get it. Oh, I got it...bang, bang, shoot 'em up cheese fest. The plot was thin, the violence was overdone, and the effects were well the only salvagable part of the movie. Laurence Fishburne is too good of an actor to have made such a mistake. Even his talent couldn't save this film. I like sci-fi, I like dark, this movie was simply trite.

Summary: What is...Real?
Review: Are you a fan of "what if?" or "did you ever wonder...?" If so, you're in for an thought-provoking, action-packed experience. Having an open mind to endless possibilities in our existence lets you enjoy the "what's wrong and how can I fix it?" burning question. Visual effects are stunning - Keanu Reeves is a great action hero - strong, yet unsure. Carrie-Anne Moss is a knock-out - a strong, beautiful and very human woman - taking care of business! Laurence Fishburne is solid! "Mr. Smith" is memorable as a program with an attitude! The rest of the cast help bring it all together to - what an ending! or a beginning?

Summary: Get your money's worth from your DVD player
Review: This is a first-rate action/sci-fi thriller. It also showcases the capabilities of DVD, with multiple soundtracks, on-screen links to behind-the-scenes footage of the action sequences, and mini-documentaries about the special effects. The DVD allows you to watch the film with music and commentary only, commentary only, etc. The music and commentary track should be fascinating to any student of film, allowing the viewer to concentrate on the impact that a well-crafted soundtrack has on the overall film experience.

Summary: See It Twice
Review: This movie must be seen twice in order to be fully appreciated. The first viewing should be spent enjoying it for its eye-popping special effects, for its outrageous action, for its killer industrial soundtrack, and for the pleasure of watching Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss run around looking fabulous. The second viewing should be spent contemplating the questions The Matrix raises about our perception of reality. It's hard to believe that such a slick, glossy production starring Keanu Reeves conveys such deep, mind-boggling concepts, but it does. The directing Wachowski brothers (the guys responsible for the wonderfully outrageous Bound), have been influenced heavily by other filmmakers, authors and artists, and they don't try to hide it in the least. However, rather than a blatant rip-off, this plays more like a reverent homage. Laurence Fishburne projects a powerful presence as the wise Morpheus, although it often seems that he employed William Shatner as his dialogue coach. Keanu Reeves is in his element. The Matrix maximizes his strengths (his ability to look completely dumbfounded and his unique physicality) and minimizes his weaknesses (just about everything else). The role of Neo is tailor-made for him. The real standout in the cast, however, is Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity. She is a real find, and while she is stunning in a shiny black cat suit, her purpose in this film is not simply ornamental. She is responsible for at least half of this movie's excitement, and she gives it its emotional heart. The Matrix is two movies in one. One is a truly awesome action movie, and the other is a deep meditation on the nature of reality. It can be enjoyed equally on both levels, but maybe not on first viewing. See it at least twice. Stay tuned after the credits for 4 behind-the-scenes vignettes, one of which shows Reeves, in full wicked-bad regalia, perform a hilarious, unintentional pratfall.

Summary: Thought provoking
Review: I am usually not a fan of sci-fi films, but I didn't stereotype this one and went to see it anyway. I tend to judge a movie on what it has to say, and not just the visual effects. While the effects were great I think what makes this movie stand out is the theme that it presents. The entire premise of the movie is about belief. At the beginning when the Agents and Trinity jump between buldings and the cops say "That's impossible." Or when Neo and Morpheus are fighting and Morpheus asks "Why did I beat you? Do you really think being stronger or faster than you matters in this place?" You see there are certain things ingrained into human consciousness. If you asked a man two hundred years ago whether man could fly his answer would have been "That's impossible." You see there maybe certain rules within society, but eventually they are broken. Today people say that interplanetary travel is impossible. Sure maybe today, but what about in the future. Belief is very important. We all have personal limits to overcome, but the human mind is a mystery in many ways and can accomplish a lot more than anyone can imagine. "I'm going to hang up this phone and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you, a world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries, a world where anything is possible..."
