Summary: dazzling special effects, superb cast
Review: No one can be told what the Matrix is ... Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, Agent Smith are carefully developed and wonderfully portrayed in this deliciously thrilling cyperpunk extravaganza. Great martial arts scenes, cute tight black outfits on Neo & Trinity, philosophical questions, everything was near flawless. Hooray for the directors!!!

Summary: buy this DVD if you have even the slightest interest in MATR
Review: when i first saw the Matrix i fell asleep after the first half hour, though admittidely(?) i had had no sleep the night before. so i left the theatre thinking the last half hour was good but what was all that stuff at the start about, i usually get stuff like that i am a preety big film buff guy, but seeing as i missed almost 30 mins, i felt i needed to give the film another chance and find out what my friends were going on about. here in the UK the film only left theatres a couple of months ago, so i was priviledged to get the Matrix months before it will come out to rent here, and boy was i priviledged. why pay $25 for a film i didn't really get, well simply because of the amazing extras, they utilise DVD and remind me why i got exited about DVD in the first place - multiple angles, commentary, behind the scenes, essays, interactive features, soundtrack, and in my opinion the best part - screenplay and storyboards - this is so cool, to see the original ideas and how in many cases it turned out how the directors saw it, usually with big action films many of the ideas on paper aren't able make it to the screen, but with this it's different, it gives you a new respect for the scenes in the film. by the way the second time i watched it i totally got it, and watched it again a couple of hours later, which is rare for me. If you only have just the slightest interest in this film and you have DVD-ROM then buy the DVD, it's worth it.

Summary: My personal all-time fav!!!!!
Review: I saw this in the theatres, it was unbelievable! The story itself is a cross between the Easter Story and Alice in Wonderland. The special effects are like no other. Great movie if you like Sci-fi or just great action! It definetly makes you think a lot after. You MUST see this movie in your lifetime!

Summary: AWESOME MOVIE!
Review: On many levels, this movie was a truly spiritual event. That, on top of great action, special F/X, & wonderful plot. It was a mind, body and soul trip! This movie left me with a feeling that maybe, in a way, I TOO can fly. Sure, it was pure special effects, Hollywood pat, been done before, etc., but you know there IS nothing new under the sun. So any movie that can make it fresh-like-new-never-seen-it-put-like-THAT-before! is pure delight for me. It's one of the few movies I can revisit with the fondness that is usually reserved for a favorite book. A book that doesn't need to be critically acclaimed, Pulitzer prize winning caliber, true to life, etc. but a book that touches me on a purely personal level -- one that never fails to give me something for my time when I'm done.

Review: Any statement about the purpose of life is pure speculation; however, if creation is the creator we must have forgotten who we are...

Summary: If it's action you want...
Review: I can't help but feel a little silly endorsing a movie that describes itself as "mega-kick" action, but in this case, I don't have a choice. The Matrix is, perhaps, the best science fiction story in a generation. I also believe (for better or for worse)it defines our emerging cyber-punk culture. Many viewers point to holes in the plot as a reason for dismissing the entire movie. Before you do this, it is important to remember that this is a science fiction story. Science fiction is often about defining future possibilities that are a result of our present decisions or actions. Obviously, the Matrix explores a frightening (yet common sci-fi) theme--the destruction of mankind by machines. It is creative in its approach, though, and it suggests to us that on a subtle level, this may already be happening. For fans of Fahrenheit 451 (and similar stories) there are some parallels: technology changing humanity, a civilization blissfully unaware, and a small handful of rebels fighting a change that has already taken place. In reviewing this movie, it is also important to remember that the intention was to give the movie comic book qualities. This deliberate artistic decision will make a movie (like Batman--another Gothic film) seem unreal or fantastic. This movie is not for everyone, and it wasn't made to be. For example, it is extremely violent. Usually when a sci/fi action movie has this much violence, it is because the plot needs to be carried. This is not the case here. It is one of the "smartest" movies I have seen in this genre, and it introduces us to the next generation of visual effects. (I am still a Star Wars fan, but Matrix was much more impressive to me visually.) I would encourage every sci/fi fan to see it.

Summary: Awesome!!! Highly Reccomended
Review: This is one of the best movies I have ever seen on the silver screen. It is definately a classic and should start a new generation of sci-fi based theatrical movies. This being my first DVD title, I am fully satisfied with the special effects, action scenes, and work put into this movie. This is an excellent movie and I highly reccomend it.
