The Matrix (DVD)

The first and the best of the trilogy. This first movie stands out vastly from others and transports you to another world. Surprisingly, Keanu Reeves is perfect in the role of Neo. It's just a shame they decided to ruin the originality of The Matrix with two sequels. The story is actually fairly straight forward (Although many probably wouldn't agree) and it is a very interesting concept of what is real in the world and what isn't, although the ...

Review of The Matrix (DVD)

The Matrix is the winner of four academy awards, and if you have seen it then you know why. With its excellent freeze frame action and excellent computerised graphics, this is one film that will blow you away. This film is also Keanu Reeves at his best. The only problem with this film is that you won't understand it straight away. (Well, it took me two times to fully understand it)! The film is about The Matrix, a computer-generated world where people ...

...of special effects which brings the film up to another level. Took the use of special effects right into the C21st. It beat George Lucas' Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace to win OCSCAR for Best Visual Effects, which says a lot. It developed techniques such as 'bullet-time' and the use of a 'virtual camera'. * Good standard of acting. Cannot imagine any other actor in those roles, whether that be Keanu, Laurence or anyone else. * Don Davis' ...

RATM at the end of the fim - unforgettable! * Good directing, which manages to be both subtle and expansive. * Slick DVD features which offers a great deal of insight into the making and production of the film. * Production of the film is distinct Great start to a really good series! My first review - hope you enjoyed reading it! ...

Review of The Matrix (DVD)

...more to life than meets the eye? Could everything we know as reality be an implanted illusion? The Matrix is an excellent movie filled with some of the most advanced special effects and it is a great story as well. It is a movie about the ultimate struggles between good and evil, and it may leave you asking yourself, which side actually IS good or evil? Is the truth always better? Do you really want to always know the truth? In the age of information ...
...in history, but even though the truth is coming out about certain real conspiracies, people are still finding it harder to believe the truth than the lies. This is because it is very hard to accept that something you have believed in, that many others have believed in, could possibly all have been a lie. Obviously this movie is fictional, but it has been found that even the most far fetched fiction usually has some elements of truth. I found this ...

...relaxed, my feet resting upon the coffee table, preparing to watch this fab movie, only to find myself in a phase of cold sweat, fast heart beats, and the "I can't take my eyes away, I will miss something important" process. This flick will appeal to the "Hackers" of the net, the computer fanatics from all around the globe. When this film has ended, you will realise that you have been thrust into a world of make-believe, a world where everyone wears ...
...I'm talking about??? ........... Watch the film, you really must!) I must warn you, if you ever see a young woman dressed all in black, wearing sunglasses, walking down the street, that'll be me! I must add that this film has the best soundtrack ever feat. Marylin Manson, The Prodigy, Korn, and Placebo to name but a few. It's a "must-see" for the Keanu fans too!!! ...

The Matrix is a great action movie. Aswell as great action, acting and audio, this movie also has deeper levels. The Matrix is exploration of many philosophies and creation theories, especially Buddhism. The Matrix is a great film on so many levels. As an action movie it is fascinating. But it touches on many issues, beliefs and religions. I believe that you do not need to concentrate to see the writers explorations. Personally I believe The Matrix ...

The matrix on DVD.... let me keep this brief and just say that the Matrix is the best film of all time and when you put it onto DVD then you cna recreate the feeling that you got when you first saw it at the cinema. For those of you that haven't seen the film, I will explain a little about the brilliant plot. The main star is a hacker called Neo who realises that the real world is not so real hence in his search for the truth finally returns to the ...
...Though I might have made the plot either un understandable or rubbish, let me tell you that it is not crap... you've really got to see if for yourself. This film has a brilliant shelf life because you really have to watch it over and over to try and understand the plot and to see all the brilliant new types of special fx they use. ...

Review of The Matrix (DVD)

The Matrix is a brilliant and original film, one of the most interesting cinematic ventures to emerge from Hollywood in the last decade. Watching it on DVD brings home even more vividly the amazing action sequences. The performances, great as they are, are dwarfed by the concept behind the film, and the terrifying questions it raises. Their development is not disappointing, and the film has real style - both in the black leather 'uniform' worn by ...
...which the laws that bind our small world (like gravity) are defied. Even more than all of this the film has a great spiritual depth and its language keeps the motif ringing through its entirety. Names such as Neo (also 'the one'), Trinity and Morpheus lead the way into true freedom from the slavery humanity is born into but cannot see. The transformation into a new pardigm is not easy, as Neo's training shows. Parallels with Christianity are unavoidable. ...

I will say from the start I just loved this film it was absolutely fantastic. The whole film from start to finish was great. The storyline and the background music was excellent. The characters and the special effects where out of this world. If you haven't seen this film yet then go out and rent the video or just buy the DVD its well worth it, you won't be sorry you took my adivice. It really makes you wonder if our world is real or not, well it ...

...that. This was one of the highlights of last summer`s blockbusters and if you ever needed to impress your mates with DVD, this would have to be the disc to put on. If you have the added luxury of a DTS system, then the lobby scene will be hard to beat. The comic book style of this film and the superb special effects make up for the storyline, which is loose at times. The film moves along at a great pace though and the action is none stop in the second ...

I loved this movie. Not really a big sci-fi fan but it has a strong plot (though it went a tad downhill in the sequels) and had some amazing action scenes. Not Keanu's strongest performance but then the script doesn't really call for it. Definitely a must see, whether you like sci-fi or not. ...

Review of The Matrix (DVD)

I first saw the Matrix at the age of 14 in the cinema . And may I say it was the best cinematical experience ever !!!! The film is original and futurisitic but you don't actually loose the plot which is rare for this genre . The technology involved with an acrobatic cast brings The Matrix to be a truly excellent film which I did enjoy a lot when it first came out . The one criticism I would have is that it seems to get better on the second time I ...
...to grasp the story line . The cast is truly amazing and an incredible 4 MONTHS of training had to go into training the actors for the amazing fighting scenes that are involved . I was greatly impressed with the special affects which are nothing like what has been before . I WOULD RECCOMMEND SEEING THIS FILM JUST FOR THE EFFECTS !!! However I do believe it is truly great and definitely worth the £13.99 it costs on video . Overall no matter who you ...

...an elaborate deception spun by the all-powerfull machines of artificial intelligence that control us. Mind-blowing stunts, Techno-slamming visuals. Mega-kick action. Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne lead the fight to free humankind in The Matrix, the cyber thriller that you will watch again and again. Written and directed by the Wachowski brouthers, the story sears, the special effects stake out new movie-making territory - the movie leaves you ...

If you haven't seen it yet, go to your local video store NOW, and either buy or rent it. The special effects are amazing. Since seeing the film I have seen many movies that have copied the style of this GREAT film. ...

The Matrix is an outstanding film, and it is true.....it is too good for words!!! The storyline is a difficult one to follow but extremely clever!! To get the drift of the story you might have to watch it a couple of times to understand it. The special effects are amazing along with the sound track which is also extremely good!!! The characters are amazing and play there parts well, especially Keanu Reeves. The fighting which is in this film is ...
