Summary: Robots vs. Kung Fu
Review: This movie combines one of the best story lines in the sci-fi genera with the most original special effects and camera work ever. The plot is very thought provoking, volumes could be written on the scenario suggested in this movie. If you not in the mood to think, the Matrix is still the movie to watch. Incredible visuals and action scenes with the best gunfights and kung Fu ever. The directors seamlessly integrate the story line into the action, avoiding any drops in the energy of the movie. This movie is what DVD was made for!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not seeing "The Matrix" is not an option
Review: This movie combines sci-fi with an action adventure. With some of the best special effects that I have ever seen, you will be left dumb-founded and sitting on a curb after you view this masterpiece. A marvelous movie, and instant favorite among college students (the people that keep Hollywood in business).

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Movie without a brain
Review: This movie could have been so much more if only the writers used their brains. There is no such thing as perpetual energy. It takes more energy to keep humans alive than you could get out. Even if you bought into that, the "virtual world" which allows limitless possibilities ends up in a gun fight. How brainless.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: LOST 2 STARS BECAUSE OF KEANU!
Review: This movie could have been so much more, they had the cast (with the exception of one) the special effects (simply mindboggling! )and most importantly, a story worth telling.

I was one of many people standing in a very very long queue, eagerly waiting to watch this megamovie of the year, imagine my disappointment when I saw Keanus cardboard performance ruining a potentially brilliant movie, I dont like bagging an actor but in this case I cant help it, everytime Keanu was I on, I would close my eyes and imagine Carrie-Ann Moss doing those make me drool special fx moves! or pretending Laurence Fishburn with that oh so sexy voice and darkly cool good looks standing dramatically like a leather bound Nubian King! but even those images could not shake Keanus performance out of my head, and I tried, I really tried, I wanted to give Matrix 5 stars but I couldnt, so sorry to those who loved the film.

Keanu aside, this movie was awesome, I cant say enough positive things that adequately describe it so Ill just say it is visually stunning, dark and enthralling in parts, creative and watchable.

Slightly off the track, Ive heard a rumour that the sequel may have the incredibly talented Jet Li (Hes a martial arts megastar up there with Bruce Lee in my humble opinion! ) if that is true then Ill be in another very very long queue just to see his awesome performance (gauranteed! ), I have to add I wish Mark Dacascos was Playing Neo, if youve ever heard of him you would understand, hes just as awesome and better looking! and by the way I dont hate Keanu, I just think he was miscast!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The WOW factor
Review: This movie definitely has the WOW factor! The audio and the video on this disc are near perfection! The OSCAR award winning soundtrack,thunders and rocks my surround set-up. Although the disc makes no claims to be encoded with the new EX surround (5.1 Dolby Digital with 1 or 2 center rear surround speakers who's signal is matrixed out of the left and right surround channels,in my case with a Smart Jr. add-on unit,I'm using with my 5.1 reciever), the rear center speaker is very active,as are all the rest of the speakers for that matter,for this action packed thriller! On DVD the special effects are thrilling. Sometimes there's a bit too much shooting,but the very clever story more than makes up for this slight short comming! Besides,some of the bullet special effects are ultra cool! This movie will make your stereo or surround system jump and it sounds even better if you have EX in your system.I recently added EX to audition Star Wars Episode 1 , Japanese Laserdisc which claims to be coded for EX. The Matrix sounds even better using EX,as do most 5.1 soundtracks I've played thru it! This show has the WOW factor! Wow is it a fine movie and the presentation is X-tra WOW!

Summary: Good but not great, 3.5 stars
Review: This movie delivers as a sci-fi, action, movie. It is very entertaining. Though Keanu Reeves acting suffers badly. This movie is worth renting but not buying.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Modern version of an old story.
Review: This movie did not attract my attention when I first heard about it. It seemed to be just another one of those overdone sci-fi films. When I saw it I was amazed by its ability it take ancient philosophical ideas, like Plato's analogy of the cave and present them to a modern audience. There also seem to be many Christian themes creeping into the fray as well. This is a very cleverly written movie with some great filmwork to boot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent view into one possible future
Review: This movie found a very creative merger of technology and belief. Keanu Reeves plays a computer hacker that finds his life may not be all he imagined. He meets a woman who gives him clues to another "Super-Hacker" named Morpheus. Morpheus was a legend until now but "Neo" (Keanu Reeves" believes he might exist....

What follows is a journey into your creative mind. Neo finds reality mixed with fantasy in this superb story telling adventure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie Concept EVER !!!!
Review: This movie friggin rocked. I have seen it about 4 times nowand it gets better each time. The parallels between the Matrix andthe life of Christ are awesome. Don't listen to these who blast the movie due to Keanu's bad acting. Hey, he's no Oscar winner, but who cares. This story is so cool, that even Jennifer Tilly could have pulled it off. Please see this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
