Summary: The best sci-fi movie this decade...
Review: The Matrix is easily the best science-fiction piece of the year (better than Star Wars), and in my opinion, better than anything this decade. Some of the best special effects ever, an interesting plot, even Keanu Reeves was good. Honestly, I didn't see this movie until a few weeks after it was released. I saw it three more times in the theater, and I'll be first in line for DVD.

Summary: The Matrix ; Good or Awesome !!!
Review: The matrix is a movie that had everything it needed. I thought the best thing about the movie was the kung fu and other martial arts included. Keanu, Carrie, and Lawrence were all very good martial artists. The guy named, Agent Smith, was an excellent actor. The Matix is an awesome movie. After watching this film in the theatre many times, I thought to myself, " I am going to buy this DVD when it comes out!" This is my favorite movie in the world. Everybody should see it and love it. The trench coats and black shades are cool.

Summary: For this movie, what can I say but...WOW!
Review: The Matrix was, in my opinion, THE movie to see of the year. Forget Episode One: The Phantom Menace; The Matrix blew it out of the water! With it's amazing visual effects, gripping plot and storyline, and wonderful acting, it was a movie that kept me on the edge of my seat, and had me walking out of the theater wondering, "What -is- the Matrix, and is this possible?" This movie is definately a must-see for ANYONE!

Summary: NOT just an action movie- Matrix has great spiritual depth
Review: The only people who don't like the Matrix, are those who are either unwilling or unable to understand it on a psychological level. I've seen this movie eight times and every single character, every line, every scene is part of an intensely complicated metaphor that incorporates elements from Christianity, Zen, Buddhism, the hacker subculture, the drug subculture, various martial arts, etc. Those who dislike the Matrix, are probably also uninterested in those subjects. Such individuals are probably subconsciously unnerved by the message of the film, which is that unless you find a way out, you are merely a "copper top," I.E. battery that fuels the machines that enslave you. The thing you have to realize, is that this is not meant to be taken in a literal way but is instead intended to be a psychological metaphor for the way we are enslaved by mechanical thought processes that ultimately serve corporate interests and not our own. The bad guys all wear business attire, the good guys wear gothic-styled clothing. One must only venture onto the Matrix bulletin board, to witness the vast outpouring of analysis of this incredible motion picture. Even the acting (considering who they had) is quite good. So, if you like to watch movies in order to furthur hypnotize yourself away from the reality of your situation, then I recommend against watching the Matrix, reading any books by Gurdjieff, trying to understand the Beastie Boys, or meditation.

Summary: Easily the best Sci-Fi movie of the year
Review: I had no idea The Matrix was so good; the previews did not justice to the film. The Matrix is hyper satisfying on every level. Excellent soundtrack!

Summary: a very slick and entertaining slice of sci fi cool
Review: Well....what a wonderful surprise the matrix turned out to be. Kind of sneaking in through the back door while everyone was waiting in 5 mile queues for the Phantom Menace and delivering arguably the finest sci-fi / cyberpunk movie experience for quite some time. This movie is genuinely innovative on loads of different levels it is frankly difficult not to be swept up with all that's taking place on onscreen. From the polished direction courtesy of the Wachowski brothers (messrs Andy and Larry) to a not completely useless performance from Keanu Reeves. The supporting cast work extremely well, especially Lawrence Fishburne who looks cooler than cool with his pair of little clip on shades and not forgetting relative newcomer Carrie Ann Moss, who plays the hard as nails trinity. But the real stars of the show have to be the effects. From slo-mo kung fu fights that run the gamut of every Jackie Chan trick you've probably ever seen, to scenes of pure arenaline pumping bullet carnage that would frankly make master of hardware John Woo sit down and scribble a few notes. Yep, this is a movie that lives upto it's own hype, an excellent and inventive story, some brilliant eye candy and no Jar Jar binks to get on your nerves. Just remember to buy some band aids for your chin...for it will be hitting the ground quite a lot when you watch this film.

Summary: Bluntly, this movie rocked.
Review: In order to not give too much away, I'll have to be fairly vague about the movie. In a nutshell, though, it's good against evil, but with several twists. The plot is, to say the least, very good -- and the acting is just great. Mr. Smith is one of the coolest bad guys (including Darth Maul) that I've ever seen -- he's so deadpan, it's like he's Darth Friday or something. The fight scenes, for thems that likes, are just great. And *the* shoot 'em up scene beats, IMHO, Heat. Not by a lot, but Lordy -- I have to wonder how nobody actually got hurt. So: character devlopment rules, f/x rule, fight scenes rule, plot rules... what more is there to ask for? Five stars, definitely.

Summary: One of the best depictions of special effects.
Review: This is one of the all time greats that will be talked about for years. It depicts and outlines the future of all special effects and sets a new standard of expectations from all viewers. Matrix is also very entertaining and did not break down into a boring movie with good special effects. The tempo keeps you going non stop for over 2Hrs and was one of the most enjoyable movies I have ever seen.
