The essential DVD
Review of The Matrix DVD by Mercury

Advantages: Awesome sound and picture quality
Disadvantages: None, none at all

The Matrix was undoubtedly the coolest film of 1999... It is also a film that was made for DVD, the crisper image quality and infinitely better sound that DVD's are capable of make watching the Matrix on DVD far far better than on video. I don't think it's necessary to describe the film...if you haven't seen it then watch it right now... original, stylish, ground breaking special effects, great soundtrack and ultimately very cool. The main ... Read review

Enter the Matrix...
Review of The Matrix DVD by DDRShaolin

Advantages: Incredible film, reasonable selection of special features.
Disadvantages: More special features available in different formats.

The Matrix has become one of the 'must see' films of the last 10 years. A fine mixture of science fiction, action, mythology and a plot that makes you consider things in a very different way have all contributed to this. For the fans, it needs no explaining, and no review. For the uninitiated, read on... The Wachowski brothers crashed into Hollywood legend with the first installment of the Matrix trilogy. Absolutely oozing with style - from the ... Read review

Matrix magic
Review of The Matrix DVD by jasonc

Advantages: Great fighting
Disadvantages: Difficult to understand

...house and after looking at the cover was immediatly interested. The dramatic sharp clothing of the people on the front of it totally draws your attention to it and intruiged me to what lay within. So, I decided to watch it as I'd heard high recommendations in lots of top whatever charts and also from my friends. I sat dow, got my popcorn (and girlfriend!) and got comfy for the 1 1/2 hour film. The main character , Neo, (Keano Reeves( annoyingly ... Read review

A stormer from start to finish
Review of The Matrix DVD by philneville83

Advantages: Groundbreaking effects, Agent Smith & Morpheus great characters
Disadvantages: Keanu Reeves' acting.

...dosen't put you down until the final credits roll...and beyond. The unique Wachowski brothers masterpiece, the trilogy would swiftly go downhill from here and descend into what some reviewers dislike about this film, though I would disagree on that count, that being trashy, mindless, hollywood action flicks. The film is not merely about the special effects, though these are intense and spectacular in a way few films have repeated. The emphasis ... Read review

Reality sucks so watch this
Review of The Matrix DVD by piffles

Advantages: great storyline
Disadvantages: none really

...film. But I only bought the film abdout 3 weeks back and this is one film that seems to just get better and better. Its superb. The film takes place in a year near 2100 and involves that complex plot that revolves around the fact that humans are now the energy source of a robot lifeform that have taken over the world. These Humans are grow on massive farms and their minds live in a computer programmed world know as the Matrix which is based on the ... Read review

What is the Matrix
Review of The Matrix DVD by clanmac4

Advantages: Damm good thought provoking entertainment.
Disadvantages: None

The movie The Matrix, the actors are actors, some well known, others less known, all good, all perfectly cast to portray characters to play out what I consider one of the greatest SCI FI films made (thus far) this film will have no doubt reached cult status by now. The effect, ahhhh now to begin the review in earnest. What is the year 2003 or is it 2303, now consider this, the air you breath is not air, the job you have does not exist, the ... Read review

Bad dream or computer program
Review of The Matrix DVD by Terrie

Advantages: It was something to watch on TV
Disadvantages: It left me wondering about the storyline of this movie

...he is missing something. Until the day comes that he gets a phone call at work from Morpheous, telling him how to get away from these men in black types but he gets caught by them anyway. He finally meets Morpheous and gets a choice between a blue pill, which keeps things the way they are, and a red one that takes him to ‘wonderland’ where he can find out about ‘The Matrix’. Now, don’t quote me on anything here because ... Read review

Insert comical well thought up witty pun here
Review of The Matrix DVD by Dave999

Advantages: It has a disc with the Matrix on it inside the box
Disadvantages: I dont own it (poor me) but have used it (yay)

...and it was not until the fourth helping until I was sure I knew what the heck it was all about. Will you excuse me a moment......Ive just sawn into my thumb, i should really go and stem the bleeding. Right, that was a fun little escapade. Anyhoo, when looking at the line up of the movie I wasn't too pleased to see Keanu Reeves playing the lead as Neo. I considered bad casting as in my opinion he hadn't made a movie worth watching since Bill ... Read review

Sexy cult action sci-fi
Review of The Matrix DVD by artstorm

Advantages: sexy, fast, cult action-filled sci-fi, cutting edge sfx
Disadvantages: 'unreal' sfx, computer generated/camera trickery

This film leaps the chasm towards the new millenium with fast-paced intelligent science fiction that could almost be fact - probably not one for the die hard technical sci-fi buffs, it appeals directly to the mainstream with its inclusion of black-clad sex-god Keanu. This film has spawned an entire bible of terms and catchphrases and philosophical debates amongst teens and young adults. What is reality? That classic dilemma - is it real - or is it ...

BEAST
Review of The Matrix DVD by SkeletonMan

Advantages: Acting, special e's
Disadvantages: NONe

the Matrix is a brilliant film - so cleverly made and yet so well put together that it seems real - but is it? Is the Matrix real? Who knows - but I do know that the film is a great film - in fact probably one of the top 25 films of all time - the special effects are superb and the acting is brilliant. I have seen this film many times and the DVD film lets you basically rip the film apart and watch any part you like - watch the making of it, see all ... Read review

DO NOT READ THIS OPINION - UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Review of The Matrix DVD by igloofun

Advantages: Groundbreaking Effects, Clever Story
Disadvantages: Bit Weird, Not Really The Best Acting

The thought just occured to me... was this just a clever way to reinvent superman? I guess we'll find out in the sequels. Think about it this way.... they've shown us he can fly, he's stronger than any normal person & he's pretty much invincible. Mind you i'm not complaining at all, I found this film to be very entertaining with a very clever story line. The whole concept was very orignal and with clever things thrown in such as explaining Deja-vous ... Read review

Review of The Matrix DVD by Sushi

Advantages: Outstanding special effects
Disadvantages: Need to watch it at least twice to get to grips with the storyline

...like. This group interacts with the make believe world in the hope of recruiting more like them and to destroy the aliens. Amazing special effects and brilliant acting, even from Keanu! There is even a special feature after the movie, (on video cassette at least), that shows you the behind the scenes details on how they created the special effects. Nearly as good as the movie itself! ... Read review

I want to be in the Matrix
Review of The Matrix DVD by thehorleyman

Advantages: A fantastic all round film
Disadvantages: Slightly baffling at times

...to hear it again, because The Matrix is so damn good. I first saw this film in a cinema in America on a ski trip with my school. When the film had finished, everyone was saying how good it was, and how it was THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR BY FAR. The special effects are matched by no other film ever made, as they are simply in a league of their own. The sequence of Neo avoiding the bullets is extraordinary, as is the karate training session. Keanu ... Read review

The Matrix is everywhere
Review of The Matrix DVD by jonherring

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...fair share of films, and The Matrix has many strong points to it. For starters the plot. The world is fiction. Every single person in the world is fake. You think you are controlling yourself but really you are a puppet. The main story of this is about one Character, Neo (whose name happens to be an anagram for ONE). It is a rescue mission to save the world from the machines, or computers who are running the world. A group of people have escaped ... Read review
