Summary: An Instant Classic!
Review: _The Matrix_ is a film that measures up favorably to such other classic science fiction films as _Blade Runner_, _12 Monkeys_, _Aliens_, and the Terminator films. In fact, I wouldn't at all be surprised if this becomes the _Blade Runner_ of the 90s (in reference to the incredible influence that film had on the look of films which followed).

It's hard to believe that the creators of _Bound_, which was an enjoyable, though forgettable film, could have such an incredible second act waiting. I love this film--not since _Brazil_ have I seen a film worth watching multiple times while it was still in theaters. And the DVD presentation lives up to the film--this is one of those DVD's you want on hand to show your friends what the format is capable of, a "show-off" disc.

I give the film my highest possible recommendation; it lives up to repeated viewings, has a great soundtrack, and the FX are truly groundbreaking. Can hardly wait for the sequel!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Effects & Storyline
Review: I'm a sci-fi fan myself, I've seen other movies like The Terminator, Armageddon, and even Deep Impact. They were good at their time but now its The Matrix's time to shine. Special Effects are common in movies but in this movie they make you go wow. One example of this would be when the visual fight between Neo and one of the Agents. If you know what I mean then you to know that it was cool as well.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I LOVE This Movie!
Review: I saw it strictly for Keanu and wound up buying it. The special effects are incredible -- but it's the storyline that grabbed me. It's definitely not a movie to half-watch while you're paying bills and yacking on the phone....but once you start watching you won't want to anyway.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Extremely overrated
Review: clearly overrated and totally unoriginal

it's just a mixture of william gibson's neuromancer (william first introduced us to the matrix.. almost ripoff warning here) Ghost in the Shell and Dark City + some hong kong martial arts

and so there are uncountable holes in the plot

i give it a little credit for the special effects and i can't deny i enjoyed watching it.. but i demand much more than that from a film

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Stunning visuals, very entertaining, somewhat-woodenly acted
Review: This movie is a lot of fun. The visual effects are awe-inspiring and fresh-looking and the story is very imaginative. I was intrigued the whole way through even though some of the acting was a bit stiff or, in some cases, overplayed. Since the characters are secondary to the universe surrounding them and since some of the performances are quite good, the few mediocre actors never really hurt the enjoyment of the film as a whole. I'd definitely recommend seeing it on DVD, too. The picture and sound are staggering.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Matrix
Review: Awesome special FX. As usual great performances of Reaves and Fishburn

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What is The Matrix - It's retro , futuristic and truly epic.
Review: Move over Phantom Menace and George Lucas cause The Matrix totally destroyed Star Wars 1.Our world a computer generated world made by artifical intel designed for one reason to make us slaves.

Under there power to keep us under control for energy.Neo who is played by Keanu Reeves who is a software programmer and by night a software hacker is approched by a mysterious girl named Trinity a strong willed feedom fighter for a band or rebels. The question will be answerd for him '' What is The Matrix'' by a man named Morpheous.

He gives Neo a choice either remain in the computer generated world or see and find out the truth he gives him a blue and red pill to choose from.He takes the red pill and after that he gets a slimey rebirth in a machine,challenges morpheous with super quick reflexes,learns how to rebound bullits,and holds a helicopter with his hands.

Until Neo becomes the one with godlike powers like being able to slow down bullets and destroy

The Matrix program.

This is an eye popping visually stunning wild ride.Just as Star Wars did 22 years ago The Matrix did by designing there own style of visual effects and digital animation wich very well could get the Acadamy Award,it's much more lush than Star Wars 1 ,the dvd will give you an inside look a glimpse of bringing this hugely succesful movie to life and show you key scenes to a incredible science ficton epic.All in all The Matrix is a technical marval and a truly entertaining film it's a ride buckel up cause this one sky rockets.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST MOVIE
Review: this is the best movie there is,and probably ever will be.(except for maybe the sequel)This movie is pure genious!I had to watch Matrix more than 2 times before i understood it, but now that i do it is auwsome!I watched blade,thinking it would rival MAtrix,but it didnt live up to my expectations because of minor flaws.Go out now and watch and or rent this movie!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: great...eccept...
Review: i really enjoyed the movie...the concept was creative and different i thought. It was a fast moving movie with lots of special effects...it was really good right up to its limp end...i was left feeling...thats it? thats all of it?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Great idea!
Review: Fantastic idea..maybe even a little too close for comfort! But shame about the film, mediocre acting,very ordinary photography ( I was hoping for something on a par with bladerunner here )....a B movie with ingenious special effects....Edward Muybridge must be smiling to himself up there!
