Summary: IT WASN'T JUST KEANU REEVES WHO RUINED THIS ONE
Review: With rare exception ("Parenthood," "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"), Keanu Reeves is a detriment to every film he appears in. We've all seen him destroy great films like "Devil's Advocate" and "Bram Stoker's Dracula." This time, Keanu, don't feel bad, it wasn't you. The script in this film stinks! In a strange attempt to tell the story of Jesus Christ through a futuristic sci-fi film (doesn't sound like a bad idea, right?) this picture only manages to showcase the latest in CGI effects. I must mention, however, the one reason I gave this picture 2 stars instead of one: Hugo Weaver is brilliant as Agent Smith! He is also fortunate to have the only good lines in the film when Smith is telling Neo what he thinks of the human race and our world. What other movies has Weaver been in?

Summary: Does are some purty effects!
Review: Buy it. That is the simple advice I give to anyone remotley interested in this movie. The effects were spectacular and needless to say, lots of things get shot full of holes. The plot was downright creepy and the scene with all the humans in pink egg things was one of the coolest I have ever scene. If you are looking for a great movie with incredible special effects, this is the movie to own. Oh yeah, and that helicopter scene was neat to!

Summary: braver than You think
Review: Don't let Yourself get fooled by the 'special effects'. They are just a pretence in order to get the kids to see this movie. This movie is about the phony world we live in and one man's attempt to break into reality. It belongs to the bravest productions made in recent years along with 'They Live' by John Carpenter and 'Wag the Dog' by Barry Levinson. A weak point is the use of 'artificial intelligence' being the 'bad guy'. Replace that with 'technocrats' and You will not be disturbed by it. Our world is phony, You better believe it!

Summary: Visual Entertaining
Review: This is not a movie that requires a lot of thought to watch it. The movie was done completely for the special effects, the stop frame photograghy and computer effects. A lot of credit goes to the special effects personal. The acting is nothing special, everyone did a good job but no one did any acting that deserves particular attention. The plot is simple, and the story line keeps your attention long enough to get you to the next action or special effect sequence. Its simple a movie to watch and enjoy the visual effects.

Summary: A classic sci-fi movie already!
Review: This has become in my mind a sci-fi classic already. The reasons?
-Brilliant special effects -some might say none were groundbreaking. So what? The way in which they were integrated into a the story was just perfect.
-A great story. The perfect combination for a classic: compelling, universal and not-limited by time boundaries.Only thing I'd change: Keanu Reeves....

Summary: Not an excellent overall film, but...
Review: I give this beast a 5 star rating not for a totally engrossing, semi-believable, emotional story, or great acting, or even great concept. I rate this monster special FX film a 5 because of such great directoral features. These two brothers were able to come up with some of the coolest, hardest, most intense action scenes ever in a movie. I watch this on DVD everyday and just gape time and time again at the beauty of the "Pillar Scene." Some of the shots and moves are so unique that one has to wonder how two people could cooperate enough to come up with this. If you like neato action and beautiful women in leather, this is definitely your movie. If you want a deep storyline (and believe me, it's not as deep as one might think. anyone could get drunk and think something like this up. just check out 13th floor...) than go elsewhere, but give this masterpiece of movie making techniques a chance first!

Summary: The best dvd movie I own.
Review: By far, this is the best DVD movie I own. The video and sound effects are as good as it gets. The story is packed with little hints and suggestions as to what is happening. I'm still picking things up after the fifth time I've watched the movie. To own a dvd means that you will be watching it many times, and finding something new in the story each time keeps this movie top choice when selecting from my own library. The movie is also cheaper than most other DVD's, which I can't figure out. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Excellent--Two Thumbs Up from me! (I wish I had more thumbs)
Review: The Matrix -- the perfect masterpiece to celebrate the Digital Versitile Disc, or as most people call it, DVD. Crisp video makes the special effects more realistic than ever, and the sound is so clear, you can hear every single word in sharp Dolby Digital sound. This puts other Sci-Fi DVDs to shame. If you liked The Matrix on a movie screen, pop this into your home theater to expirience fun extras, like commentary and behind-the-scenes documentaries. Or slide this baby into your PC DVD-ROM drive for special features, like trailers shown in movie theaters and a cool trivia challange game. This is truly "The One" to own on DVD. If you didn't get the joke in the previous sentence, buy this now, or you could take the blue pill and never know how ignorant about your life you were.

Summary: cool effects, bad plot
Review: this is a very cool movie, fun to watch and i love keanu reeves. i also love sci-fi flicks so why did i give the matrix only 4 stars? the plot was stupid and lacking just about everything. not fulfilling in the way of a story at all. but dispite all this the special effects are the best i've ever seen and the matrix remains on my amazon.com wish list.
