Summary: The Matrix on DVD is like watching it at the theatre
Review: The DVD rocks, people, if you are a sci-fi fan you will love this movie. The picture quality is so high that I thought I have the original footage from Warner Bros. - A bonus on the DVD is the making of "The Matrix" which is very long and sophisticated. They have interviews with the directors, the special effects supervisor, the cast and the fighting scenes supervisors. All this is well designed and put in a great menue. A must for every DVD collection.

Summary: Could have been better
Review: It always seems as though the same concept gets sold to a variety of Hollywood producers at about the same time & a race is on to get out a product. Last year two big rocks came to hit the Earth in two different movies, for example. The current big trend is Cyber-Space or alternate reality.Three movies have been released at almost the same time about this theme: The Thirteenth Floor, eXisTenz, and The Matrix. Matrix is, admittedly, a lot of fun, even if it lacks the maturity of eXisTenz or the more pure Sci/Fi attitude of Thirteenth Floor. Matrix plays more towards an action/adventure crowd and makes frequent use of the same type of special effects as can be seen in those pants commercials where the kids are dancing, then seem to freeze in mid-air. Kind of neat, but we've seen it before, and soon it will go the way of "Morphing" which T2 brought to a whole new level but isn't used too often anymore because of the been-there, done-that attitude. Also, Keanu Reeves' final showdown with the Computer Agent felt contrived. He had a phone to catch, after all, and the fight with these bad guys could have waited until the sequel. Many have commented on the "what-if" our life is just a computer program. Kind of like what if our life is just a dream of the fantasy and science fiction novels of not so long ago. It isn't new, and Matrix, rather than try to make the idea new, turns it into the starting point for a story of a comic book hero. Most disturbing about this movie is the scene where the heroes walk into the lobby of an office building and shoot all of the guards. This was overly reminiscent of the man who walked into the lobby of the Capitol and opened fire. I found the scene difficult to applaud. This is in contrast with a scene in T2 where Arnold, after being told not to kill anyone, takes careful aim and shoots out tires and lights rather than people. The scene in Matrix might have played better if the heroes were given more fanciful weapons. Luke Skywalker had his lightsaber, Indiana Jones had a whip. These were pretty cool toys. Keanu Reeves, in the computer generated world, should have been able to come up with something similarly fantastic.

Summary: If you like bladrunner....you will like the matrix
Review: Both are based on philosophy of decartes. Decartes philosophized about the posibility of everything we sense being imaginary...that sensation, and therefore memory, could just be fed to our minds. Both films create great atmosphere, great effects and great characters. Sit back and enjoy.

Summary: Don't think I blinked through the entire show!
Review: WHAT IS THE MATRIX? Within this question lies the very essence of the movie. "Mind-blowing"? Today's special effects thrillers toss this and other extreme terminology around loosely. But what of the first movie since the Star Wars Trilogy to actually EARN this description? This is it, friends, an out and out mind-blower! The cast, plot, and effects of The Matrix combine to make this the film achievement of the decade.

Summary: Keanu reeves goes for broke in a Sci-fi acton blockbuster.
Review: Just imagine a futuristic society where you thought your dream was for real, but it turns out your life is just a computer program, and the dream was a reality that you really exisit in? The Matrix holds that answer. Keanu Reeves (Speed)stars in a Electrifying Sci-fi cinema hit, and a eye-popping action film too. The film has great classic Action, and state of the arts special effects. Reeves is a computer hacker whoses about to discover that the 20th century doesn't exisit. brilliant acting and good plot. I give the matrix. (9 and a half for action and special effects)

Summary: Awesome! A MUST to have, the first DVD for the 21st century!
Review: The Matrix is an amazing movie, with effects perfectly combined with action and superb storytelling. A mindbender for those who lack out-of-the-box thinking. A real hit, which probably will raise a generation of movies. I had a great time watching the DVD extras, storyboards, screenplay, interviews...It's all there and waiting everyone to take a sneak peak inside. Get it and have a LOT of FUN!
