Summary: $72 for one disc??
Review: This is not a review of the movie - the Matrix is by itself an interesting subject - but instead this is review of what's available in the package you get.I had The Matrix on DVD from back when it first came out. Somehow, when the son moved to College, I lost my Matrix DVD, so I finally decided to replenish my collection and get, what I thought was a 2 disc version with more behind the scenes stuff. Instead, I get a single disk, with the excat same content as my old (collection happy - buyer is not), a poster, some pictures and a frame of the movie blown up. Is that worth the additional $50 (at least)?? I don't think so. But the quality of the DVD is great - as the old one. However, the box, pictures and posters will soon be archived under T for Trash.

Summary: Commentary Mostly Silly & Useless
Review: For those who care, the full length commentary was not at all helpful. I would have bought the DVD otherwise.

Summary: A Must See!
Review: The first time I saw this movie, I was blown away by the special effects, and by the "Free your mind" motif. Each time I watch it, I pick up more and more allusions to other literary works and historical/biblical references, and each new discovery adds to the amazing power of the movie. Recommended to all action fans and also a great literary movie- never to be forgotten!

Summary: Easily the Star Wars of our time
Review: People will be talking about The Matrix the exact same way for years to come that Star Wars used to be spoken of. The reasons for its success are too numerous to count, but one thing is easy to see already--the art of the movie will never be the same after The Matrix (just as it wasn't after Star Wars). Potential purchasers: wait for the special edition boxed set to come out with extended footage in all three movies.

Summary: Free your mind...
Review: "The Matrix" was a real sleeper hit of 1999. It is one of the few movies which incorporate a large amount of computer generated special effects and have them play a major role in the plot. Most movies with lots of computer help just have the special effects in the movie, but they are unnecessary. This film needs all the effects it has to make the story believeable. The movie tells us of a man named Neo(Keanu Reeves) who works at a software company (when he gets up on time), and does lots of illicit computer hacking work off the clock. He has been searching for a seemingly mythical figure named Morpheus. Through a series of strange events, Morpheus(Lawrence Fishburne) contacts Neo and brings him to a meeting with the help of the leather clad Trinity(Carrie-Anne Moss). At this meeting, Morpheus drops a complete bomb on Neo- that his life as he has known it means nothing. The world is actually controlled by machines who use human infants like batteries, absorbing the body heat for power. The computers invented an imaginary "Matrix" for the humans to live in, which is the world we now inhabit. Because we are so comfortable here, we don't try to break out and get away from the control of these machines. Morpheus and his select crew of assistants on his ship are fighting against the machines in the real world, which has no sunlight and has suffered mass destruction from the numerous battles over the years. Neo has to make a decision whether to join the battle or to go back to the blissful ignorance of the Matrix. The special effects in the movie are great and are well used. The fighting sequences and the jump sequences when the camera spins 360 degrees around the person are really cool. There is a scene where someone in the group has to be rescued from the Agents(machines in human form in the Matrix) and the effects of the gunfire and destruction are some of the best you will see. The film would suffer without the fantastic computer visual effects it has. Interesting, how much this movie references Christianity and the Bible. The last human city is called Zion, the character Trinity is a reference to the holy trinity, the character Neo is obviously patterned after Jesus Christ, as the one saviour of the world. How about Morpheus's ship being called the Nebukadnezzar, after the king in the bible? There is even a Judas type figure who betrays the whole group. In general, the Matrix is a very slick sci-fi thriller with lots of action, a cool storyline, and lots of effects which are real fun. The sequels (one of which I have seen and one I have not) simply can't match up to this. I recommend this film for any action fan's shelf.
