Summary: Read This Review!
Review: So, having trouble understanding the "Matrix"? Let me try to assist you in your clouded view. The Matrix is not a film about computers. Nor is it a film about guns and violence. Nor is it even a film about the future. First, erase any of these notions from your mind, and we'll start from there. The matrix is a film about the human race finding an energy within themselves that will allow us maximum results from our measley existence. An inner 'God' if you will. To understand the meaning behind a film with such a vast vision, one must be able to step outside himself (as when the film's characters went back to the spaceship) and see a world beyond the tangible one we live in. The film is rife with psychological meanderings which culminate in Neo's visit to the oracle. If you'll remember the oracle asks Neo (in so many words) if he thinks he is "the one". Neo says "no". Had Neo said yes, then he would've surely been recognized as the one. It's simple: everyone is "the one"! and the theatrical fact that there was a race of machines smarter than ourselves, which created the world we see and feel while really hiding their true agenda is a fantastic metaphor for finding that space within ourselves that can allow us to 'bend spoons' mentally. And to have the world on a string. The action in the movie serves to keep you focused on plot. Now, having read this review, watch the film again and understand it's true meaning.

Summary: whats the big deal?
Review: I have to say that this movie suffers from "scream syndrome".What this means is that a movie that is not even that good is hailed by the masses as a classic.Not that this is a terrible film. But give me a break, when Keanu "dies" he comes back to life just because that woman said she loved him? Thats as cheesy as the ending of "The Fifth element",in which we find out that the fifth element is of course,love.And its also a cop out for screenwriters who had a cool beginning but didnt know how to end it.The story is lame and predictable and could have been written by a 16 year old.Keanu is also not at his greatest here, I understand that the ladies like him for his looks...but hes simply a moron in this film.He spends half the movie with a "what the hell is going on?" look on his face.I had the same look on my face when I realized I paid to see this.Dont waste your $ just see this on cable.

Summary: Beautiful.
Review: This was the best movie of 1999 by far, and it's the only reason I bought a DVD player. If I spent $320 just to see this movie, the least you could do is rent it.

Summary: Good Movie + Amazing Bonuses = Must Buy
Review: This is a very cool movie, but not necessarily something I would want to see too many times. However, all the extra features in this DVD are very cool. It really adds to the life of the movie. It defintaley makes this DVD worth it.

Summary: Incredible
Review: This movie is good on so many levels that it cannot be fully described in less than 1000 words. Of course, I will try. Cinematography- The special effects in this movie are like none ever before seen. Aspects such as perspective and shot angle are also masterfully done. Story- fast-paced and engrossing The authors manage to provide a sci-fi explanation for virtually every major trend in religious thought, as well as many popular superstitions and definite allusions to Jungian psychological theory. acting- Although Reeves does occasionally add a little cheese to the story, even he can't manage to screw this up. Overall, excellent performances were turned in by the entire cast.

Summary: The best action flick of the year
Review: OK, so Keanu Reeves has the acting range of a shop window mannequin, but not even his wooden thesping can diminish the quality of this visually awesome sci-fi spectacular. Action and FX fans won't be dissapointed, neither will those looking for a good story. Sueprificial, but fun.

Summary: Exhilerating
Review: The Matrix was a movie that you had to understand, to recognize it's genius. I beleive that the matrix is the best movie I have ever seen in my entire life, whats better is that i got to view it on my 60" Television. This motion picture combines special effects, mind ploys, exceptional sound, directing, and acting, to create an amazing action packed movie. Not only does it require you to understand it to take part of it, you have to take some thought to it or it won't have nearly the same effect as it had on me. I don't think i'll ever be the same, the effect the movie had on me was dramatic.

Summary: A MUST-SEE MOVIE
Review: This movie is THE sci-fi film of the 90s. It has suberb visuals and a smart script. The soundtrack also contributes to the atmosphere. The DVD is LOADED with special features and it would be a crime to own a DVD-ROM and not have this movie in your collection.
