Summary: sf from the Bible
Review: Not the most original of basic story concepts, of course. After all, SFfilm-as-Christian-allegory has been common since The Day the Earth Stood Still. Admittedly, the Bible has inspired as much SF moviemaking as any other ancient myth: Terminator 1 was, in its simplest terms, the Annunciation; Terminator 2, the Flight to Egypt.But, debates about originality notwithstanding, this is a well-crafted film and a great thrill ride. The W Bros. and their editors have successfully enhanced a tight and taut script: acting, cinematography, choreography, special effects, and sound track are maintained in complete balance. Each aspect of the film contributes to its overall effectiveness. Just enough characterization, just enough acting, etc. to propel the film along at an appropriate pace. Don't bother thinking about the existentialist aspect of the plot--it's only window dressing for this exciting version of the Christ story. And it will go down as the apotheosis of Herr Reeves acting career, just as T1 was for Arnie, an actor of similar range and density.

Summary: Get this movie already
Review: Excuse me, but I must start this review off with a question, if you do not mind. Why are you reading this review? You should of already seen this movie, hence the reading of any review is not needed! If you have not seen this movie already, you are indeed a sorry little man(or woman). This film is without a doubt a a ground-breaker for a whole new level of special effects and action sequences. It has to be seen to be believed. The story, although based on a old philisophical premise, is a god-send for Hollywood. I don't want to say to much, because it might ruin the whole thing. Trust me though, it good... real good. And when you thought it couldn't get any better, The Matrix comes packed with solid extras. Behind-the-scenes-documentaries; cast/crew commentary; music only track; "follow the white rabbit" and "take the red pills" mode that will unlock ever more secrets of the The Matrix; and last filmorgraphies.

Summary: It's just... FUN!
Review: "Fun" is the exact word to describe this film. It features wonderful visual effects, the music is fabulous and the cast is outstanding. Keanu Reeves as Neo is the perfect cast. Neo is the hero figure, which symbolizes a certain ornament to the general plot, other than being the plot. Much like Keanu himself. The movie may seem a little childish at first, a little shallow. But you'll feel an uncontrollable urge to see it again. And once you do that, and you will, you'll find this hidden depth. You won't be sure of it the first time, so you'll see it again, trust me... you will. I bought it a few months ago and I'm trapped in this cycle ever since. And I'm a happier man. :)

Summary: Hard to understand, bad concept.
Review: The Matrix starts off faast and gradually gets slower and slower to the point when you say, what the heck is going on. Sure the story is um...intersting but overall I was just disapointed in the end. Felling that I wanted more. The special features kept me busy, but unless your buying this for the special features look somewhere else.

Summary: It's terrific!
Review: It's a very good movie. It gets better with repeats. You notice more details the second time. It's about this guy whose the Chosen One. He will be the one to free the humans from the evil robots. He didn't just get his special powers; he had to work for it. You know how you always want main characters to have special powers and be really special? Well, you get your wish here. I love the end. He destroy the bad guys and they were so surprise. I'm not going to tell you how he did it. You're just going to have to watch it. It was sad that a few of the good guys died, but the really important characters did not so don't worry. I think the movie had quite a bit of action so action fans should be please. Hope this review helped you.

Summary: Elementary Philosophy
Review: Nice try. I liked this film better the first time when it was called TRON. Stupid philosophical schmaltz passed off as the real thing. Is the idea of illusionary reality a new thing? For fans of the Matrix it may be. Go read some books and find out how watered down this movie really is. I hated it all the more due to its tedious marketing and hub-bub. Tron had Jeff Bridges, the Matrix has dumb-face. Tron had GOOD computer special effects that were unlike anything seen before. Matrix has off the shelf effects that we've seen before in about a thousand video games. Is this a film or a video game intro? A bunch of worhtless garbage. Go buy it and tell your friends how great it looks and sounds on your Sony.

Summary: Matrix IBM
Review: Usually one-glanced as an untouchable classic, some may see otherwise. The pace is too slow and the action scenes aren't convincing enough. Also contains no suspence whatsoever. Idiot cybernetic is good for this movie which the old timers will enjoy.

Summary: The fake world...
Review: The everyday world is experienced by you every day. It's so easy not to think about it but what if it's not real. A man is told the matrix has you... He wants to know what the matrix is. He discovers the truth about what has been happening his whole life. He has been in the matrix all along! It's all around you. He enters the real world and finds out the time is closer to 2199 than 1999. There are huge fields where humans are no longer simply born, they are grown. Morphis believes this man is the one than will save mankind. Long ago a prediction was made that the man that freed the first of us would later be born again and destroy the matrix. It became clear that the fake world was stopping us from being free. It's a prison built to control us. As long as it exists we are trapped. Some people spent their whole lives looking for the one. Now Morphis believes the search is over... He must fight the agents and everyone who previously did has died. But the one would not have to fight based on rules like gravity and logic! When he's ready he won't have to dodge bullets or be afraid. In the end we even see our hero come back from death to end the final battle against the agents. The special effects are amazing when he jump into an agents body and bursts out! A woman is told "the man you love will be the one". He is left alone to fight while the others have gone through the exit. We learn that the future CANNOT be foretold. Even the one doesn't know how things are going to end... But he decides (in the last scene) to show everyone a world without rules, where anything is possible. In the sequels I would love to see time-travel because you could just rewind as it's NOT real anyway!
