Summary: In my opinion, the best action movie ever!
Review: This movie has everything and action movie fan could want. Lots of guns, special effects, explosions, lots of fighting, good acting, and dare I say a good plot. It puts an interesting prospective on our world and it puts a new demension to action movies. It's just cool how they can run up walls, and dodge bullets.

If you like action with a good plot, then get this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GOD, I LuV THIS MOVIE!
Review: This movie has EVERYTHING! Not only is it the best movie to own at home THIS YEAR, it's one of the best purchases you'll ever make. If you've never seen it before, you will love it. The re-watch value is incredible. Consider the fact that I saw the movie 19 times in theaters before buying it, and the fact that I still watch it a good 3 times a week. I especially enjoy the performances by the great Laurence Fishbourn as Morpheus and the gentlemen who plays Agent Smith (I said I wathc the movie alot, not the credits:). I don't need to say anymore about the movie, because you probably heard it before. I am disappointed by the behind-the-scenes extra, however. It answers the question of how they created the wonderful scenes, but it's really cheap looking, and there's no interviews with the stars. Still, BUY IT! You will not regret it at all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding sci-fi drama you MUST experience on DVD!
Review: This movie has everything! Suspense, drama, a great story line and special effects that will have you jumping in your seat!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A instant classic !!!
Review: This movie has everything!, Kung fu, lots of guns, sci fi and most important; a cerebral plot. The acting was fine, especialy Carrie Ann Moss, her character trinity is the ultimate female action hero, very tough but very sensible too. The production design and the special effects are terrific!!, And the dvd has a great image and sound. This movie is far better than Episode 1.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: oh, please...
Review: This movie has exactly two things to recommend it:
1. Cool special effects.
2. Foetus farms.

Other than that, this movie is utter trash. Those of you who don't want your virgin eyes spoiled by knowing what the movie is about (like anyone doesn't know by now) should not read what follows, because it is a long list of everything WRONG with the movie--not counting the fact that the (supposedly mind-blowingly original) concept behind it has been done by countless sci-fi movies and books for decades--and I may accidentally drop a few hints as to the nature of the plot of this, um, flick.

1. The Oracle. It's stupid, it makes no sense, and it has nothing to do with anything.
2. The fact that Neo comes back to life when Trinity kisses him. I mean, come ON, can't we think of anything cleverer than THAT?
3. The idea of getting energy from humans, forgetting the fact that you'd have to put more energy into them than you'd get out.
4. Beings that control all aspects of your perception using fallible, killable agents that (mostly) obey the laws of physics, when they could just make you think an anvil fell on your head and crushed you.
5. The fact that unplugging someone causes them to die, rather than simply to come out of the matrix. Isn't that what happened to Neo when he took the pill anyway?
6. Telephones. This was the most irritating thing in the entire movie. WHY, may I ask, is it necessary to pick up a telephone to emerge from this virtual universe?
7. If deja vu is when there's a glitch and "they" reset something, shouldn't everyone get it at the same time?
8. The ripply-helicopter-building-crash thing. Some people explain this by saying that "they" don't know how to deal with disasters of that magnitude, but what about volcanoes, earthquakes, etc.?
9. All the stupid Biblical metaphors and whatnot. They really don't make that much sense once you analyze them.

So there you have it. On the one hand, you have the red pill--logic, reason, internal consistency, intellectual value. On the other, you have the blue pill--foetus farms. Which do you choose?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite movie of all time
Review: This movie has fabulous special effects, and great fight scenes. It puts you in another world and keeps you there from start to finish. I have seen this movie many times and I practically bought a DVD player just to be able to watch this movie! A must for anyone who even remotely likes sci-fi or action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE GREATEST MOVIE!
Review: This movie has great special effects and a great plot and great music and great acting. I love this movie. The video has a 26 minute behind the scenes look at it, too. A great movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent-- cinematic masterpiece!
Review: This movie has gutsy action and drama. A thinking man's "Hard Boiled" with a little sci-fi thrown in! Must own!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: wonderful!
Review: This movie has it all! Science, action, love and it really drags you in. Neo and Trinity are what makes the movie, you know something seems to be going on with them from the very beginning.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unbeatable entertainment!
Review: This movie has it all. Fast paced action, phenomenal visuals, superb photography, great soundtrack, weird weird plot, and some pretty good acting. I really don't care much for Keanu Reeves, which unfortunately caused me to miss this one in the theater. This would have been awesome on the big screen. But even Keanu does quite well, along with the rest of the cast. (I love Laurence Fishburne!) The visual effects are positively stunning, and synchronized with great sound. The combo of slow-motion to real-time filming was spectacular! As my son said, when Neo wakes up in the jello-bath, "This just hit about a 9.5 on my Weird-O-Meter!" The plot definitely offers one some food for thought, the dialog between man and machine when the agent unplugs his earpiece and has a little tete-a-tete with Morpheus was quite interesting. Did I mention Spectacular Visuals? That one aspect of this movie alone with worth the price!
