Summary: Great special effects! Not so good story.
Review: The special effects were better than Episode 1's effects. THat's the only reason I gave it three stars. The story itself isn't that good. I would suggest seeing it know and then if you like seeing really cool stuff. If you just care about the story of a film then don't buy this.

Summary: A Classic
Review: I do not know what I can add that has not already been said about this movie -- it is great. Heck, when I found out this movie was coming out on DVD back in September I went and bought a DVD player and full surround sound system. The story is very good -- even though ideas and themes in the movie are borrowed from many sources, the execution of the story is enticing and refreshing. The action sequences are top-notch and are matched to a quality soundtrack. The special effects are not only great, but they do not steal from they show -- they only enhance the story. The combination of story, action, and FX make this film fun to watch over and over -- it never seems to get boring. This is a classic and Cyberpunk at its best.

Summary: Unexpectedly absorbing with phenomenal special effects...
Review: Since I was lucky enough to watch the DVD with surround sound (my first ever DVD!) I had the full effects and advantages of all the fancy technology...totally unique and amazing! I really enjoyed the added features of the DVD, including actor profiles and how the effects were done. A visual feast for anyone, especially those who enjoy sci-fi or futuristic drama. Although like most these days, this movie has enough people getting blown away by big automatic weapons to last for me for a millennium, the other details were just so amazing that I was able to look beyond that for once. I liked the fact that Trinity (Carrie Anne Moss), was a strong woman but still had a very compassionate and vulnerable side. Of course, Keanu Reeves is very easy to look at and was good in the character of Neo. This is one of the few movies I want to watch several times over. And the ending leaves you desperately wanting more...hurry up with those sequels Larry and Andy!

Summary: Cyber-punk cinema at its best
Review: The matrix is a wonderfully crafted movie with eye-pleasing special effects and an engaging storyline. I loved this movie and so far I have seen it four times. Everytime I have watched it i've noticed or learned something new. Lawrence Fishburne and Keanu Reeves are phenomenal.

Summary: The best DVD they sell
Review: Not only is the matrix one of the bestaction movies of all time. But this dvd is loaded with all kinds of cool stuff. There is an actual screensaver of the matrix for those of you with a pc-dvd. The digital sound is neccesary for this one. If you don't have surround sound GET IT!

Summary: Just buy it
Review: With hundreds and thousands of reviews here (which I haven't read), there's not much I can add. But here goes: This movie is a great action adventure, with great action sequences, and some very imaginative images (and mediocre acting, but hey, who cares). It might not make complete sense (wouldn't it have been less troublesome for the machines to harness nuclear power?), but then, what other movie does? It's just very cool. The DVD complements this beautiful movie with great production values. You get the best scenes running at the beginning of the movie, and in the background behind the menu. The transitions are very nice, without taking too much time. The behind-the-scenes feature is pretty fascinating. The commentary track is nice, and does give some more insight into the movie, but is not that exciting. The music track is great. It's amazing to hear the music without the actor voices or effects. It's just so cool, and I wish that more movies would do this. There's also an exciting feature called "follow the white rabbit", where a rabbit supposedly appears on the screen and you can then select it and see special things. I didn't see it at work due to the software player I use (and I had a bit of trouble with the other features, too). You also get some PC stuff, including a storyboard and some articles. The features didn't seem to fit that well with my screen resolution of 1280x1024, and are not terribly exciting, but the storyboard is nice. All in all, this is a great movie and a very nice DVD, a recommended addition to any home DVD library.

Summary: Oh my god!
Review: The effects, the acting, and the storyline were more than exceptional. Even though there aren't many movies with this kind of quality to compare to... I still think that this movie is an instant Sci-Fi classic.

Summary: A pretty enjoyable film!
Review: Yes, the story has holes...good heavens, does it have holes.I'll contribute one among many here: blocking out the sun would, uh,pretty much kill off all life on Earth, artificial or otherwise. I would say ESPECIALLY otherwise. :) But anyway...violations of even the simplest principles of thermodynamics and physics aside, this movie is startlingly enjoyable. Absolutely wonderful special effects, a fantastic cyberpunk atmosphere, and a nice enough story if you're willing to shut down a section of brain or two in order to allow the needed amounts of suspension of disbelief to kick in. It also doesn't hurt that Carrie-Anne Moss is absolutely stunning...it's hard to imagine a better, more heart-stopping actress for the role of Trinity. All in all, a fun ride, especially on DVD.
