Rating: Summary: Confusing but excellent movie Review: Excellent sci-fi film very well made. With excellent performaces and graphics. Definately worth watching!
Rating: Summary: Awesome movie Review: I've seen the movie a hundred times, and it still wows me each time.
Rating: Summary: This is not a Movie. Review: Okay. I know this was suposed to be a story of man who uses a new technology and I guess is transported to some new alternate reality. But with all the effects and the really poor editing of this film. I really could not make heads or tails of this movie. I don't think movie is really the correct word to desribe this film....Try a cross between a video game and a poorly written comic book story.
Rating: Summary: Great Minds do Think Alike...almost. Review: Everyone who enjoys eating take out Chinese food will love this awesome retelling of every Kirosawa movie ever made. My all-time faveorite scene is the one with the guy who took the blue pill, but was color-blind by staring into the sun too long.Definitely NOT a spoiler review.
Rating: Summary: Good Stuff Review: This is the coolest movie i have ever witnessed! Getting this on VHS is not good enough as the movie itself is too much for a pathetic VCR to handle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ okay, basically if the whole fake reality is real them we are living in a computer generated dream world designed to keep us under control to turn a human body into a battery for the use of AI(artificial intellegence) machines. A scary thought yes but with the help of some renegade humans who escaped from the matrix, the "agents" are gonna be put on a run. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I would explain more but as no-one can be told what the matrix is, you'll just have to get it for yourself untill the truth is clear to you.
Rating: Summary: Buy This DVD, DAMMIT! Review: I am urging you, even if you are not a fan of action movies. to buy this DVD. The principals (Keanu Reeves {"Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure", "Speed"}, Laurence Fishburne {"Othello", "Higher Learning"}, Carrie-Anne Moss {"Red Planet", TV's "Models, Inc."}, Joe Pantoliano {TV's "The Sopranos", "The Fugitive"} and Hugo Weaving {"Babe", "Babe: Pig In The City"-both voiceover work, "Bangkok Hilton"} ) all give stellar performances. The story is believable and moves well. The action sequences (are great)(my particular favorite is the lobby scene).
Rating: Summary: All a Sci-Fi Movie should be... and MORE. Much More! Review: This is one of the best sci fi movies you will ever see.. It can be viewed and appreciated on a dozen different levels. The story, editing, and cinematography are all stellar, and the special effects are second to none. The storyline and plot are way out there... but the film is carried off well enough that the viewer has no problem suspending disbelief. But on a completely different level you can go back and watch the film just to check out the incredible camera work and editing. The sets and wardrobe combine to create a sort-of postmodern, neo-apocalyptic cool. The soundtrack is very well matched to the action/feel of the film. The fight scenes are nothing short of jaw-dropping, especially considering the fact that most include Lawrence Fishburn and/or Keanu Reaves neither of whom are world-class kung fu masters (There ARE a dozen or so real life Kung Fu masters in the credits so I'm sure there was some stand-in action going on... but it is very smoothly done). Fishburn is awesome as "Morpheus" and really carries a lot of the plot development... Reaves is a little "cardboard-ish" in places but has really come a long way from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". If you are looking for some escapist brainless action, see this. If you are looking to have your mind blown by an incredible story with fatastic effects, see this. If you are looking for a masterpiece of the cinematographer's art... see this... but above all SEE THIS MOVIE! Oh, by the way... Is somebody on your list getting a dvd player from Santa? Get'em a copy of this movie so they can appreciate all that hi-res, hi-fi, super-mojo digital magic their new goodies can provide!
Rating: Summary: Movie of the Millenium Review: The Matrix. When anybody hears that word they would usually think of Keanu Reeves in a trench coat bending over backwards as bullets graze inches over him in slow motion, or Carrie-Ann Moss suspened in a kick in mid air while the camera spins 180 degrees around her. These two things are some of what made the greatest movie of the millenium, the Matrix. The funny thing about this movie is how I didn't have any desire to see it when it came out, it just never caught my eye. I regret every bit of that. I never saw this movie in the theater. The first time I saw was on the little six inch screen in my friends van. Although the soung was coming out of two little speakers and the screen was about 300 times smaller than that of the one in my local movie theater, I was still more immerssed, more blown away, and more impressed than I had ever been by a movie before in my whole life. Everything about it was perfect, the story was amazing, Keanu Reeves easily put on his best performance to date, and the action/kung-fu scenes just blew me away. The story is not something I should tell, although nearly everyone has seen the movie, I bet there is still one reader out there who hasn't yet experianced the total awesomness of this movie. The story is exactly what sci-fi story should be. Science fiction is the one genre where the rules of reality cannot hold the writer back, allowing them to just let their imaginations run wild. That is exactly what the Wachowski Brothers did, they applied every element needed to make not just a great science fiction story, but an all around amazing movie. The Matrix will be looked one of the greatest movie achievements ever. It went beyond the limits of any movie, went where no movie had gone before, the Wachowski Bros. dared to mess with our minds, and the result was amazing. You must see this movie.
Rating: Summary: Are you living in a dream? Review: This by far is one of the best movies to come out of Hollywood in a very long time. I love it! When it was in theatres my sister and I went to see it, not once, not twice but Four Times! When it was released on video and DVD we knew we had to get it, and believe it or not, we got it on both formats. (We have DVD on our home computer but since the screen is small we also wanted a version we could watch on our large screen T.V. Oh well!) We are definitely hooked on the Matrix. It is action packed and it has a story that leaves you scratching your head and wondering "What if?" long after you see the film. Keanu Reeves was made for the Matrix or perhaps the Matrix was made for Keanu, whatever, the point is that he is perfect in his role as the reluctant hero Neo. Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity is the perfect female role model, she's beautiful, she's feminine, she knows how to take command of a situation and she kicks major you-know-what. The more times I see this movie, the more I grow to love it and the more questions I have. The Wachowski brothers have outdone themselves with this gem of a film and I can hardly wait for parts 2 and 3 to come out in theaters. If you don't own a DVD then you must run out and get one. Although it is OK to see it on video, the DVD version has so much more to offer and the special effects were meant to be seen on a digital format. My only problem, I wish I had a DVD for my T.V.
Rating: Summary: Only the best movie ever made!!!!!!!!!!1 Review: What can I say. Even Keanu Reeves is good in this one. Carie Ann is the bomb. I love this girl, she should have been laura Croft! What were they thinking. If you dont like this movie you must be dead.
