Summary: The cyberpunk extravaganza
Review: Every sci-fi movie claims to be the best since Blade Runner,now there is a new standard The Matrix defines the cyberpunk action movie better than any live action movie ever made. This dvd has some of the best supplemental footage on any dvd to date with features that enhance the experiance not just tack on garbage that takes up space.

Summary: Great action, who forgot the story?
Review: There are some great action sequences here where the DVD sound quality and clarity of image combine incredibly. The action shots are remarkable, so why couldn't thet give it a story that might make some sense? Like "The Mummy" and "The Haunting", they choose to build the movie around the special effects with a story thrown in somewhere. The special effects are supposed to help tell the story! The story is not supposed to just support the use of special effects! The idea of the ship traveling around is so absurd. I can suspend belief for a certain amount of the time, but there is a limit! Should someone buy this DVD? It depends on how much you like action films. If you can withstand the story shortcomings, then buy it for the action. Why couldn't they have started with a better story? The premise of what is reality is always interesting, but somehow this movie killed the idea. Definitely worth renting the DVD just to check out the effects! Rent before you buy this one. I chose not to buy.

Summary: Outstanding
Review: In the begining God made the Earth. At the third day He created the Man. In the 20th century Man recreate God. In 1999 Larry Wachowski and Andy Wachowski create The Matrix. Do you want a different perspective of reality? See this one and think about life... Excelent production, great professionals and a variety of excelents actors made this movie real enough to buy and ask for more.

Summary: A fantastic start....and a dumb old hollywood finish...
Review: A fantastic premise degenerates into a impossibly crazed shoot em up.I found it a fun movie that almost touched on some poingant theories about human existance, but then decided it wanted to be about blowing stuff up. I will say that the fight coreography is up there with Ping's best work in Hong Kong...thought often a blatant ripoff of that same work. No problem though, most of us haven't seen it! Worth a rental, and for folks who want to show off how loud thier sub-woofer can go, worth a purchase.

Summary: Ooh! Pretty pictures!
Review: Okay, this film's kinda fun if you don't think about it too hard, but when people characterize it as "thought-provoking" or similar, I have to assume that they, ahem, don't read much. I mean, really: The Matrix doesn't have an original thought in its head. The "robots controlling humans" business plays *exactly* like something from an old issue of Heavy Metal (now THERE'S a shining bastion of literary quality), and the "what is reality?" affair has been done with *much* more aplomb by such authors as Philip K. Dick, Samuel Delany, and Robert Anton Wilson. And as for the characters...crikey. What can you say? Here's a fun game: read Neuromancer, then watch The Matrix and shout out each character's name as he/she appears. You shouldn't have much trouble. All in all, a truly preposterous film, yet strangely enjoyable. Just phase out the bits where it tries and fails to be profound, enjoy the goofily mindless action sequences, and laugh at the numerous unintentionally funny segments, and you should spend an enjoyable couple hours.

Summary: um...the BEST MOVIE EVER
Review: it is. You are probably living in the Matrix right now. What's the point of anything... it's all just electrical impulses...? Even if you're not in the matrix everything is just a bunch of electrical pulses strung together and recieved by your brain...so what's really the point of anything? you have to find one...../ Yuri

Summary: Matrix, scary idea
Review: Despite the accent on the spectacular special effects, the plot involving a scary idea, that our reality is only a virtual reality program, is well planned with a nasty twist. Only when K. R's character uses his inherent ability to manipulate the program in real-time do the spectacular special effects serve their real purpose. Still, stopping bullets in mid-flight WOW! Sometimes oppresively dark, The clarity of the imagery and the crisp stop motion make this film a natural for the DVD transfer.

Summary: matrix rocks
Review: If you have a stereo receiver with dolby digital capability and a good dvd player this movie is a must for your collection. Visually stunning and with the dolby 5.1 absolutely like being in the middle of the action. A perfect gift for Christmas.

Summary: "Welcome, ....... to the Matrix"ΓΏ
Review: Which shall it be? The RED or the BLUE? Hummm... Still undecided. Well, everyone has his or her own opinion about "how good" something is. The question isn't, do I like the movie. The question is. Is it worth buying? I had the same question BUT the movie wasn't available for public purchase yet. I had friends that were able to see the movie on the opening night. The following evening they dragged me out to see it. This was a movie I already had full intentions in seeing, so there was very little persuading involved. After I saw that movie, I purchased the Matrix the next time I fired up my computer... about two months before it was to be released for sale. Yes, I waited almost two months for it. Is it worth buying? Everyone at work that "borrowed it seems to think so" All my friends "borrowed it" eventually give it back. Is it worth buying? Yes, I think it is. Besides if for any off the wall reason you don't like it. It would make a great gift. ;o}
