Rating: Summary: Really, I love this movie. It's the best thing ever made. Review: Now let's take time out to praise the genius of "The Matrix." Really, this movie must be a work of genius because the characters have cool NAMES like Trinity, Neo, and Morpheus (*swooning*). This movie must be the best movie ever made because when people shoot guns, the bullets can go in slow motion and leave TRAILS (*gasping*). This movie must be 'more than meets the eye' because it plays out like an expensive videogame (*cool!*). This movie has to be a treat for all those 'intellectuals' out there, who think sub-Shakespearian monologues sandwiched in between pointless FX scenes make for an intelligent film (*stimulated*). And of course, keeping up with style, this movie must be GREAT because the characters wear very chic black leather outfits! These are all the makings of an American classic, if you ask me.Please, people...if you need something to open up the neural floodgates, go with "Fight Club," a movie that's truly original and loaded with ideas and doesn't hide behind smoke and mirrors to pass itself off as an intelligent film.
Rating: Summary: "Your Empty" Review: Well to tell you the truth this movie is anything but empty. This movie is great, the acting is okay, but the special effects really make up for that. The Matrix has great visual and special effects. This movie is a winner, you must own this movie. If I could I would give this movie an 10.
Rating: Summary: finally Review: I have never been so intrigued by a video, the Matrix is where it's at for today in the movie industry. I have never been able to watch a video more than twice due to excrutiating boredom, but i have sat through the matrix 10+ times and find something new everytime. Not only does the movie have killer fighting scenes, but it's ability to make you look deeper and actually have to think helps make this the movie of the century. The movie line was believeable, and though it may appear corny at first, after watching several times paying close attention to the action, you'll notice it is superbly done(take for axample Neo in the helicopter rescuing his mentor). It's almost as if the brothers who wrote this made the video, watched it over and over again finding each little detail that may have appeared unbelievale or corny and fixed it, and then watched it again just to make sure. In this rather serious and deep movie they add just enough comic relief, while still maintening(and not detracting from) the theme and story line. The foreshadowing was excellently done, partly due to it's subtlety. It's metehpors and symoblism to the bible was also a nice touch. I enjoyed the casting, because due to the fact that the cast wasn't very well known so it wasn't easy to confuse the actors roles in this movie with those of past works. Over all this is the best movie, bar none, that I have ever seen. I cannot wait for the sequals which are in the works as you are reading this.
Rating: Summary: What a Movie!! Review: Wow, what a movie. The effects are unbelieveable, the story is great but a little confusing, but overall it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The widescreen isnt that small, so you can actually see the movie. The special features in the movie are ok which include follow the white rabbit. Follow the White Rabbit comes up at the bottom of the screen, you press enter, and they will show you how they shot that scene. I like this special feature the best. The acting is also great in this movie. I hope to see more movies like this one in the future.
Rating: Summary: One of the best DVD's made. Review: I believe this is one of the best dvd's ever made. The visual effects are stunning, and as a bonus, you get a movie with a good, original plot. I got this movie as my first dvd and it is still the best out of many others I have viewed.
Rating: Summary: Best Movie Review: One of the best movies I've ever seeen in my life. Keanu and carry did amazing performances ... A must buy DVD ...
Rating: Summary: Free Your Mind Review: Just as the movie began to take off, it suddenly hit me that the whole thing can be viewed as a metaphor for spiritual growth. This is one of the most inspired, complete films ever made. The weak spots are few--even Keanu is good. In the years since it's been out, there's been a lot of discussion about whether this movie is as good as some people think it is, whether it's original, whether it's entertaining. I can't answer that for you--you need to see it for yourself. For me, this movie brought together a lot of personal questions and actually led me to a place where it was possible to "free my mind." It's slick, moody, and arguably original in presentation and content. The acting is great for an action flick. It's worth watching, and like any movie where the cast and crew gave their best effort, it might teach you something. Or it might not. Maybe it's not the best movie ever made, but I've found that any film that people argue about for years deserves attention.
Rating: Summary: Pure entertainment Review: Although I didn't find this film to be as profound as many of the other reviewers did, it is certainly clever and very smartly written. I was impressed at how smoothly the Wachowskis managed to fit the conventions of martial arts films into a technological context. The story is pure comic book--and I mean that in the best sense of the word. A seemingly average guy meets some mysterious types who introduce him to the reality behind our everyday world and becomes a superhero to battle the evil he finds there. One of the most interesting facets of the story is the fact that our heroes exist in two worlds simultaneously--in one they are superhuman, while in the other they are nearly helpless.
Rating: Summary: Good reason to buy a DVD player Review: Can't decide whether to buy a DVD player or keep on watching VHS? Here's the reason. If you don't like the story line, the effects will blow you away. And with VHS, you don't get to see how they were done - on DVD, you get the "making of" material.
Rating: Summary: this film is very cool Review: i like this film and i think he is very interesting
