Advantages: good graphics and good effects Disadvantages: very imaginary
the matrix wide screen is a very good film indeed because of the graphics mostly. I would recomend you see it but you should only see it once because it gets quite a bit boring after a bit because i watched it twice and it got completely boring the second time. i would not think it is suitable for people under the age of 12 because there is quite a bit of violence and i dont suppose you want that to be shown to your children if you have any, no offense. ...

...this film and you've seen the cheesy rip offs in other films of the materix's special effect's it's because thier jelous. The materix is one of the first films to encoperate such advance special effects to attract people to watch it, and it works i mainly watch the film because of the special effects, and its well worth spending your hard earned money on something that will entertain you the story line is not bad. It's your basic save the world plot, ...

Advantages: strong cast, amazing effects, unique narrative Disadvantages: narrative is complex and takes concentration on first viewing
...i was told to study the matrix and write a 2500 word essay on it i couldnt have been happier. i found it a joy to watch it over and over again because the complex narrative makes it easy to miss bits or not understand certain aspects of the story. Watching it over and over was like watching it for the first time each time because i'd understand more of what was happening and notice things that i didn't notice first time round. The film is brilliantly ...

I LOVE THE MATRIX, but the only problem on DVD is that it skips the tracks on my PC, say at the end of Down the Rabbit hole at the end it will repeat the same track over until you tell it to goto the next one, which is anoying, im just glad its only this one DVD and it only does it on my PC work well in my DVD player. It has loads of SF's, and the story is so real that after a few replayes you feel that you start believeing it then you just have ... ...and reapat some/most. The "in" movie graphics are outstanding and the sound effects are excelent, a good example of this is in the scene when the helecopter crashes into the building.
Again this is a film for most of the family to watch as its a 15 in UK and 18 in IRELAND ...

...in history as one of the greats. This was one of the most talked about films upon its release and almost 10 years later it hasn't aged a bit. I still enjoy watching it despite how many times I have seen it in the past! The Matrix released in 1999, is without a doubt one of the best science fiction films to date, with the other two in the trilogy following close in its footsteps. It won 4 academy awards and is still well up there in people lists of ... ...bullet time, which is where the action is put in slow motion as the camera view pans around the action giving you a full 360 degree view of the scene. This style of filming was revolutionised by The Matrix and has been used in many films since.
I don't want to give away the whole plot as I think that would defeat the point of me suggesting that you watch it. So to summarise the plot of the film without giving away too much:
Thomas Anderson, a computer ...

Quick review of The Matrix (DVD)
The DVD feels like it's closely linked to Christianity because of the choosing of the pills etc. But also this is a great action film; it's got "guns...lotsa guns" and is really well done. I recommend watching the other two films but I think this one is the best one out of them. It is a must see sorry to say. :) ...

Advantages: Lots of hidden features in the DVD. Disadvantages: NOTHING
The Matrix is a brilliant film if you love computers and when you watch it on DVD you get extra's. The making of The Matrix is good to watch it shows you how they got them brilliant bullet shots with special cameras. Another good thing about the DvD is that you can watch the film in a different way by following the white rabbit. I personally love watching films that have a twist at the end because they make you think. The Matrix just made me think ... ...knows we could be ! The acting in the film is first class and on the DVD you can get some of the actors profiles. Even if you don't watch it by DVD it is still one of the best movies of all time according to me ! I can't wait for The Matrix 2 which will be released nextyear! ...

This movie is the evolution of others hundreds action movies. Was the fist time we watch someone standing and walking on the air so long to fight. After that movie we saw the same scene in may films.
Keanu Reaves, Laurence Fishburne , Joe Pantoliano, Carrie-Anne Moss ,Hugo Weaving at their best.

Advantages: Ground Breaking graphics for its time and great story Disadvantages: no extras with this version
...out for! 1998!
Well the storyline is great and very original for it's time, basically we live in a computer simulated world as we've been taken over by robots in a war.
There are a lot of twists in the film but basically it's about a team of people who find a saviour as predicted by an old woman.
the special effects are still great, even compared to films produced today, they where ground breaking in their day and other films are really still ... ...with lots of fighting and a great storyline. I'm a great fan of the trilogy and this first film is the best of them all. This version doesn't come with any extras but it can be found at asda for about £3.00 or £4.00 so definitely a bargain. ...

Intro
The matrix was released a few years ago now and if you havent seen it then your missing out on a hell of a lot!
This is the 9th best film of all time according to film critics and they are not wrong it is a classic and will be for years to come. Dont be surprised to see Stephen Spielburgs great-great grandson trying to re-make this in years to come because every generation, now and in the future should be given the chance to watch this film. ... ...because they have set the measuring stick for future Sci-Fi films, I cant see how the unique storyline can be matched, well we will see!
The plot
Keanu Reeves is Thomas Anderson an office worker by day, computer hacking genious by night going by the tag 'Neo' it is this life that brings him to the attention of Morpheus(Laurwence Fishbourne) who is some what of a mythical character when it comes to the police,however he is seen by some people as ...

Advantages: Amazing special effects Disadvantages: None
The matrix boasts a very well known successful cast. Keanu Reeves stars as Neo a computer genius who is convinced that all is not as it seems. He is taken on a wild journey where he will discover his true identity and the truth about his existence. He is backed up by a very strong performance by Laurence Fishburne. If you like action, sci-fi with a twist of romance you'll love this film. Not a film anyone can just watch once, the kung foo scenes ... ...Additional material that comes with the DVD is access to a web site which is a bit outdated now. A chance to watch the film and to see how special effects were done on certain scenes is brillient. It boasts a storyboard, a small fun quiz and clips of the kung fu scenes which are great.
One for all ages over 15. Well worth seeing if you haven't already and I would recommend buying it for you collection as one to see over and over again. ...

...is a must for anybody. The Matrix works both as an action movie, but also as a thinking man's movie. This is one of the best movies to combine the two together. The acting is incredible all around. Carrie Ann-Moss, Laurence Fishbourne, and Joe Pantaliano are incredible. Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith is perfect as the emotionless Government Agent trying to find Neo. This was also one of the most underrated roles of 1999 and Hugo Weaving deserved some ... ...would have been better.
The Wachowski Brothers wrote an incredible script with likeable characters, especially Mouse, Trinity, Tank, and Switch. SPOILER The death's of Swithc and Mouse are relatively sad due to the fact of likeable characters. END SPOILER. So, if you have't seen this movie, go see it now. You will not be dissapointed. ...

I choose to watch The matrix following all the good reveiws that I read, and from people telling me it was fantaastic. But I can truely say that I was not impressed. I am a very deicated fan to all sci fi, but found this boring from start to end, yes I watched it to the end hoping that it would get better but know such luck. All these people must have seen something I didn't. The film was just scene after scene of special effects, no interseting ...
