Summary: Phenomenal film that can add much thought to our "reality"
Review: WOW! By far one of the best films i've ever seen and definately my favourite movie of all time! This film, not only blew my mind with it's amazing special effects, but also immerses one into buddhist philosophy and, i'm hoping, will make those who view it question our own, present "reality" - the matrix we live in and work in every day. Talk about character development - I even cared about Apoc, Switch & Mouse! Thank you Larry & Andy for creating a phenomenal movie with a truly enlightening story line & thank you to Lawrence, Keanue, Joe, Hugo & especially Carrie-Anne for breathing life into your characters!

Summary: A "coming of age" fairy tale
Review: The Matrix is a fairy tale of the "coming of age" of the neo-savior hero set within the science fiction genre. It addresses issues such as: Truth is not always reality, and reality is not always truth; humans as the "alien-other'; and the archetype of death and resurrection through the spiritual love of femininity as compassion. An excellent study of archetypes through cross-genre structure. A cult-film for the 90s, and an excellent candidate for the study of film criticism.

Summary: See it!
Review: Once in a great while a movie comes along that grabs ahold of me in some weird way I can't quite explain, and it won't let go. (Perhaps Morpheus can explain it...) When that happens, I have to see it multiple times to get 'free' of its spell. The Matrix has done that to me; it continues to captivate me.Okay, there were a few problems with the story - but there were so many astonishing points that those problems simply got washed away. There was hundreds of tiny little details in the production that you'll miss the first time around; but they add so much to the overall feel and effect of the film. The scipt was incredible in that it managed to put some complicated concepts into very simple, easy to understand lines - delivered in a sequence of events that helped to illustrate those concepts... The casting was great in that it matched such a diverse and tallented group (I am a fan of Keanu Reeves even in bad movies...) The character development was superb - especially that of the 'agents', with their ultra-precise movements and slightly choppy speach. And the special effects! I tend to be a nit-picker on sci-fi movies. On this one, I simply don't want to. I'm content to let the problems go. I very highly recommend it to any sci-fi fan.

Summary: really good - even if you dont like sci-fi
Review: I was surprised that i liked this movie as much as I did. The movie addresses several philosophical issues such as whether ignorance is actually bliss or are we better off always knowing the complete truth. Trust me, this is not something I have come to expect from a movie starring Keanu Reeves (I still occaisionally have flashbacks of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure). The special effects are unrivaled in my opinion. I was dazzled by them. In fact, as special effects are SUPPOSED to do, it made you think that it might actually be happening somewhere. all in all, highly entertaining. You should see it at least once.

Summary: The next Star Wars
Review: This movie breaks the barrier in the same way Star Wars broke the barrier in the 70's. The DVD version gives you many choices to watch this hit. If you like the music you can eliminate all dialouge except the composer talking about why he use different songs in different parts of the movie. Very cool. I must have for any Sci Fi buff!

Summary: Sci Fi?
Review: Yea yea no one like Keanu Reeves. I dont know why but everyone like this movie but hates him. Well he seems to fit this movie like a glove but I do admit Im sick of his same old acting technique. Its a sci fi thriller ment to jar reality as we know it (THE MATRIX HAS YOU). The only thing I really didnt like about this movie was the end...it made Keanu Reeves into a godlike honkie from Tibet (metaphorically). Oh well watch it Im sure you'll like it.

Summary: Save your money
Review: This movie is bad, and I don't mean "bad" in the sense of "funky bad" or some kind of negative slang for "good". It reeks. A ridiculous plot, saddled with some of the worst acting in living memory it stumbles along with dialogue that seems to have been lifted directly from bad "Friends" episodes. Every time my eyes began to glaze over there was some startling special effect to wake me up, but that's just not enough. A movie needs to do more than simply keep you awake. For those who thought Armageddon and ID4 were good pictures you won't be disspointed. For the intelligent human however and especially for science fiction fans, this movie holds absolutely nothing.
