Summary: Good movie
Review: This movie really set the standard for special effects. There were a lot of movies that followed such as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and many others that utilized the same technology. I'm sure I'll see the next Matrix movie that comes out, despite the fact that Keanu "Ted" Reeves is in it. Was someone joking when they told him he should be an actor? I've seen better actors in 3rd grade Christmas plays.

Summary: Great effects, average film
Review: The Matrix was, yes, a landmark in special effects the way tat Star Wars was. The plot, the script, and the acting is very forgettable. The cinemotograpy and editing are top-notch. Part of the problem, I guess, is that all of the famous taglines or scenes have been parodied to death in other films. Yes, I am still looking foreward to 'reloaded (check out my review on that). Some of the best scenes in the Matrix include the pills, waiting room, free your mind (roof), kung fu, and the office...

Summary: Take the red one!!!!!
Review: Having seen the Matrix on TV One too many times, I finally got the DVD. It came with so much stuff I was blown away so much you can still see the imprint on the wall! The "Making of" is really cool and it comes with bios for the actors. This is by far one of Keanu Reeves' best films. Be sure to also check out The Matrix Revisited also a really good DVD.

Summary: matrix a movie a science
Review: What is the Matrix? That's the question everyone's looking to answer in this sci-fi spectacular from Wachowski brothers. One thing it was -- groundbreaking both in the spectacular special effects that we've since taken for granted.
Computer hacker extraordinaire Neo (Reeves) has this gut feeling that life isn't all that it seems to be. Turns out he's right in a big way. A group of revolutionaries led by the thought to be mythical Morpheus (Fisburne) open his eyes to the Matrix.
The Matrix, it turns out, is nothing more than an elaborate computer generated reality intended to mollify humanity who are in reality nothing more than sheep or in this case a renewable energy source, to feed the machines that have inherited the Earth.
Morpheus believes Neo is "The One", a prophesized savior who can bend the Matrix to his own will who will eventually lead humanity out of slavery.

Summary: The movie is about hacking you 1 star bozos!!
Review: Ok so this movie has a lot of mind blowing and for some people meaningless action. A lot of people loved the movie for the action. Whether on purpose or accident Dark City was the father of The Matrix and the many other reality questioning movies that will come in the future. But let's get real here once Keanu Reeves character is made aware of what's really happening the remainder of the story could be depicted by Neo (a hacker legend) sitting at a terminal trying to break into the mainframe. The battles and interaction with the Smiths are either the fire wall,the operating system, or the mainframe itself but we should all get the point - the action is a symbol for what is really happening the manipulation of ones and zeros. Hacking is not visibly exciting hense we have the 1st of the Trilogy in all it's active glory. If you enjoyed the Philosophical and social questions it raised, fantastic your a thinker! If you enjoyed the innovations and the action, excellent! But don't tell me this movie was simple and lacks originality unless maybe your favorite activities involve things like riding a Barrel over Niagra, or Sky-diving nude over a volcano.

Summary: It's more than a great movie
Review: This movie is nothing short of an allegory. As I walked out of the theater I thought increduously, "I wonder how many people realize how true this movie is?" Not only does this movie deliver in terms of action, suspense, plot and soundtrack, it's here to teach us something. Waking up is no fun, but choosing to sleep is worse. Which will it be for you: the red pill or the blue pill?

Summary: Are you the one?
Review: The one who hasn't seen The Matrix? Well do yourself a favor and buy one of the best science fiction films of all time. This is a definite BUY recommendation. It's one of my favorite films. I saw this the first time in a sparsely occupied theatre. And it really was a random pick at the dollar show, because I hadn't heard anything about it during its first release at the larger theatres. When the film was over, I was in awe. It was probably the coolest things I had ever seen on screen. I was blown away. How many films (in your lifetime, even) do that to you??? To try to explain the story would be too difficult and confusing here. Let me just say that it's set in the future and machines and software are ruling the earth. Now, what does that tell you? Not much, huh? Even to the people in The Matrix, they had to experience it to get an understanding of it. And even then... Keannu Reeves is perfect for this role. His cool attitude really fits the character. Hugo Weaving is great as Agent Smith. Really, the whole cast is good. The cinematography, colors, costumes, sets, and special effects are great. And there's loads of special effects. Some of which have been copied ad nauseum since its release. It's fast-paced, engrossing, and intellectual. That's pretty rare. It was directed by the Wachowski brothers. They also directed Bound, another under-rated film. Although the transition to The Matrix was pretty phenomenal. I can't imagine how they'll top this with the sequel. A major reason why this was so awesome was that it was so original. Granted, seeing it on the big screen and seeing it on your tv is a big difference, but nowhere near worth downgrading it. It's still an awesome. And the DVD is loaded with interesting extras. Buy it.

Summary: One man's struggle to save the new world
Review: The Wachowski Brothers have succeeded in making one of the most fresh and innovative Sci-fi/action movies ever made, with a attention-grabbing storyline, nonstop action, and astrophysical acting performances across the board. Keanu Reeves (NEO) portrays an early sense of doubt and disbelief very convincingly, and makes a smooth transition throughout the film as he comes to terms with the "real world" and his struggle to save it. Laurence Fishburne,(MORPHEUS, the leader of the human resistance) delivers another exciting performance as his charisma and strong presence shine through in this movie. Carrie-Anne Moss (TRINITY) a member of Morpheus' crew as well as Neo's eventual love interest. The movie continues forward at backbreaking pace, offering enthralling plot twists, suspense-filled action sequences, and some of the best special effects ever to grace the big screen. Once you begin to watch this movie you won't want to stop. So get it now and be surprised to enter the new world.
