Summary: One of the best sci-fi movies to come out in years
Review: I was amazed by this special effects mega-movie but I knew that if I could get my computer jaded son to like it, this would be the ultimate stamp of approval. He LOVED it! The computer related stuff was so far removed from anything he could identify that it didn't distract him from the movie itself. He now even sports a Matrix screen saver on his computer. I highly recommend this "on the edge of your seat" story.

Summary: <<<question>>> What was the name of the hollow book?
Review: The hollow book, which hid illegal sony minidiscs in an earlyscene, is labelled "Simulacra and Simulation". If you wantto learn what "The Matrix" represents, read this book. It's not easy reading, and is translated from French (post-modern thought). (exerpt) "Such is simulation, insofar as it is opposed to representation. Representation stems from the principle of the equivalence of the sign and of the real (even if this equivalence is utopian, it is a fundamental axiom). Simulation, on the contrary, stems from the utopia of the principle of equivalence, from the radical negation of the sign as value, from the sign as the reversion and death sentence of every reference. Whereas representation attempts to absorb simulation by interpreting it as a false representation, simulation envelops the whole edifice of representation itself as a simulacrum. " (p.6, Simulacra and Simulation, Baudrillard)

Summary: widescreen format: a hoax.
Review: I love science fiction movies, and I think the matrix is one of the greatest movies in this genre. However, I was dissapointed when I buyed the DVD version and discovered the horizontal top and bottom black bars displayed on the screen actually hide parts of the picture that are viewable in the standard version (you can watch scenes displayed in standard format on the DVD's special features). I conclude that DVD technology is great, but not exploited in full.

Summary: Excellent Effects
Review: This is one of the first DVDs I saw and I must say that this film is exceptionally remarkable when viewed on this media. Ok, so some people have pointed out anamolies in the story line. Honestly, when you see this film, you may wonder about or debate these small points, but I think that is part of the whole idea. Not only do you enjoy the wonderful effects, the storyline is intellectually stimulating as well, notwithstanding the possible gaps in logic. A great DVD to rent or own.

Summary: Get the DVD version, it is the best!
Review: Of course "The Matrix" was the greatest movie of 1999 and the special effects were awesome! If you are thinking of buying this movie, I highly recommend the DVD version. The effects are much more effective and will pull you right out of your chair. Of course, combine this with a good sound system as well, and this is about as close as you can get to seeing it in the theater. If you don't have a DVD player, I recommend you buy one just for this movie!

Summary: THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Review: out of ALL the many movies i have seen throughout my life, this is THE best. from the suberbly choreographed kung fu scenes, to the in depth biblical referenced storyline, it is the best movie i have seen, i've seen it at least 10 times and know theres people out there whove probably seen it 3 times that at least.not much more else to say except that it still is not perfect, (the phone dropping and door bouncing-through-flames special effect) but for anyone who has not seen this movie, i command you to go RIGHT NOW and watch it! enough said

Summary: best sci fi I've seen in years
Review: I've enjoyed intelligent sci fi films, such as Blade Runner and RoboCop (the first), and this movie definately fights its way to the top of my list. I am in my forties, a woman, and I still loved it. The story line helps you overlook the flaws in some of the "logic," but the special effects are superb. Give it a try, even if you are wary of special effects laded sci fi movies.
