Summary: Cartoony, but fun to look at
Review: The plot of this movie was. . . . well. . . . a bit like a complicated saturday morning cartoon thing, as were some of the characters. And some of the dilaogue (not the acting, the dialogue) was kinda cheesy, but when you take a story like that and put awesome special effects into it (meaning no matter what you do, you can't tell its actually not real) you get something that is just a blast to see. A word on the Format, i haven't actually seen it on DVD, But i noticed it did a little squeezing on the actors on Deep Blue Sea, which is a movie that rocks but i wish it had this movie's FX. Oh well, don't take the matrix too seriously and you'll have a great time.

Summary: Perhaps the most thought-provoking movie of the year!
Review: The Matrix, as you've heard by now, has groundbreaking visual effects, thanks in part to a stage surrounded by 120 still cameras and two motion cameras which facilitate exploring a moment in time from all angles. The movie is also a non-stop action roller-coaster, perhaps the most entertaining movie I've seen of that genre. Where I believe the Matrix really stands out is in the way that it makes you evaluate reality.Realities are contrasted more than once in the movie. To start, there is Neo's (Keanu Reeves) alternating between underground hacker Neo and his daytime software programmer alias Thomas A. Anderson, working for respected software company, Metacortex. Later the main contrast, between 1999 "reality" as we know it and the true reality enslaving the human race, forces the characters and viewer alike to grapple with timeless questions. "What is real?" asks Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) to Neo after Neo has learned that his reality is not as it seems. "How do you define real?" "If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain." For those that are spiritually inclined, the movie made me feel a parallel between The Matrix, as defined in the story, and the physical world in which we live today in light of spiritual reality and the world to come. A friend of mine expressed similar feelings. We are, of course, bringing our own interpretation beyond what the writers had intended, but that is what is so great about the movie. The Matrix forces you to evaluate it on a level beyond bold action-adventure, powerful effects, and a little romance for good measure. This is more than a must see - you must add this one to your video library. Five stars for sure.

Summary: AWE INSPIRING
Review: NOT ONLY WILL THIS MOVIE ASTOUND THE VIEWER, BUT ALL OTHER ACTION DIRECTORS AROUND. THE MIND-PAUSING SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKE THIS MOVIE ONE OF THE GREATEST PRODUCTIONS EVER. I WOULD SUGGEST GETTING THE VHS COLLECTORS EDITION TAPE. IT HAS A VERY AMUSING "MAKING OF THE MATRIX" AT THE END AFTER ALL OF THE CREDITS. IT INCLUDES "BULLIT TIME" (WHICH I WON'T REVEAL, ~~YOU HAVE TO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF~~) AND MANY OTHER EFFECTS THAT YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS.

Summary: What is the Matrix?
Review: The Matrix is an experience that all movie lovers must see on DVD. The sound and picture are simply unbelievable. I've seen the movie in a theatre, at a drive-in theatre, on VHS, and finally on DVD. I, by far, reccommend the DVD format. Watching from the comfort of your own home and experiencing the beauty that is dolby digital surround sound is absoulutely the best way to go. It is well worth the few extra dollars that DVD is more than the VHS copy.

Summary: my favorite movie
Review: This movie is the best action moive ever! Most of the actors really did an excellent job and they truely fit their parts. I have seen "The Martix" 7 times and some parts still make me think but that is why I love to watch it over and over again. It has a great plot that really makes you think about the world today. Most of the scenes are breath taking. I have the sound track and it on DVD. It is a movie to remember.

Summary: Best Film Of 1999
Review: The Matrix is the best movie of 1999, it's incredbile sense of Cyber Punk with a mixture of sci-fi action delivers absolute awe with each passing sequence. The DVD is very well done, but has it's drawbacks with it's format and postitioning (it cuts off people's heads) but the DVD film version is also the original version the Wachowski Brothers wanted thier vision to represent. The Matrix is the best film of 1999, hands down.

Summary: its finest hour
Review: cyberpunk has truly reached its finest hour in this latest cinematic addition to the genre. this film appeals to a more educated crowd with its twisted plot and potentially realistic plot. it simultaneously maintains the interest of the nintendo generation by throwing at the viewer a mind blowing array of whiz bang cgi effects and a hot babe in tight vinyl pants. all in all, the wachowski boys have done themselves proud with the most addictive film released this year.
