An Outstanding and Pioneering Disc UPDATE
Review of The Matrix DVD by Nameless

Advantages: Great DVD, as well as an excellent film
Disadvantages: It had peoblems on earlier DVD players

The Matrix in itself is a brilliant film. Its style and originality (combined with getting a half-decent showing from the usually wooden Keanu Reeves) made it one of the hits of recent years. However I’m not here to review the film, I’ll do that someday (promise,) I’m here t review the DVD releases. Yes as in more than one. I am a fortunate man, I have a DVD player that can play discs from all over the world, so I get to see the ...
...(UK) but I have seen the Region 1 (US) and Region 4 (AUS) versions of the DVD. Content wise there is little to choose between them, but there are other differences between the discs, as well as the limited edition boxes that were released. So What Do You Get On The Disc? Aside from the film of course, the Matrix came with a tremendously innovative set of extra features that set it aside at the time in the DVD world. ... Read review

Review of The Matrix DVD by ickle_devil

Advantages: the film, some geat extras
Disadvantages: i wanted more

...review of a DVD. Well the way I see it I love the film and have recently acquired the DVD, from a friend, and so thought what the hey, I mean I have nothing better to do with my Saturday afternoon (well i did so really add Sunday night to that too). The Matrix was one of the biggest films in its year of release, and rightly so, this is a fantastic film that has both style and substance. It is superb and personally I cannot knock it. Many people took ...
...So here goes, the confessions of a virgin, please be gentle this is my first time! …The Movie You can’t review the DVD without mentioning the film, so lets take a trip to the Matrix… The Cast… Neo (Thomas Anderson) – Keanu Reeves plays a young man looking for an answer, is a bred computer hacker who seeks thrills from his mundane run of the mill life. Hence why he chooses to hack systems for people, to get a buzz. However ... Read review

FREE YOUR MIND
Review of The Matrix DVD by paulc20001

Advantages: simply stunning
Disadvantages: it wrecks your head!

...have tried to fathom out the origins of the world. Philosophers, religious leaders, archaeologists, scientists from all over the globe. The Big Bang theory, dinosaurs, Christianity, beings from another planet. Just why are we here and what are we doing? Questions, questions, questions. With relatively few definate answers. Until now. For those of you who have clear minds, deep thoughts, and a burning desire to answer the questions, The Matrix is ...
...by a mysterious man by the name of Morpheus (superbly played by Laurence Fishburne). Morpheus wants Anderson (Neo), as he believes he is the key to releasing us all from the unknown prison of our lives, The Matrix. The problem is however that the Matrix will not allow us to know the reality. According to Morpheus and his cohorts, the world we live in is not the real world. It is a computer generated civilisation created by the Matrix. Everything ... Read review

Welcome to the real world
Review of The Matrix DVD by adam_heath

Advantages: Such a good film with good effects
Disadvantages: Neo can't show emotion!!!!!!!

The Matrix - special collector's edition DVD Released: 1999 Starring: Keanu Reeves et al. Tagline: Be afraid of the future. Overview: The benchmark of all future action and sci-fi films to come, the Matrix is one of the few films that actually deserve the term 'genre-defining'. With it's slick editing, pacy camerawork and mind blowing stunts it's no surprise to see how this film has become so famous in 5 short years. Quickly generating an army of ...
...as a special 'collector's edition'. The question is does it's special release ratify the list price of £19.99? Plot: Here it is again in case you have been living under a rock for the past 5 years. Neo (Reeves - Bill and Ted's excellent adventure) leads a double life, one as a quiet nerd, but by night he becomes a super-hacker capable of cracking into the world's top computers (I didn't spot the difference really). However, one day the messiastic ... Read review

Matrix Revisited .....
Review of The Matrix DVD by assistant_14

Advantages: New re-relase with all new documentary making this a must buy DVD.
Disadvantages: Some may find the film a little slow to get going but not me.

The original Matrix DVD was the title that almost single-handedly brought DVD into the mainstream. Now re-released in a special Collectors edition and coupled with another excellent disc, containing "The Matrix Revisited" a documentary charting the production of the first film, with many sneak previews of the second and third film which are currently being filmed back to back and should see the light of day sometime later on this year. The Matrix ...

He spends his time hacking, making money from illegal software and basically breaking just about every computer crime that there is a law for. Neo is searching for the answer, the to the question that has haunted him for two years; what is the matrix? The matrix is the story of how he finds the answer ... Read review
