Description
With THE MATRIX, the Wachowskis have established themselves as innovative filmmakers who push the boundaries of live-action films. Like the groundbreaking STAR WARS, THE MATRIX (also the first film of a trilogy) showcases a unique visual style, one the Wachowskis achieved through an array of techniques and digital effects, some never before seen in mainstream Hollywood films. Although computer morphing technology had been used before in films such as THE ABYSS and TERMINATOR 2, the Wachowskis were the first to use "bullet time," a time-bending digital effect that utilizes both computer-generated imagery and still photography. The film itself is a complex story that aspires to mythology, focusing on a computer hacker named Neo (Keanu Reeves) who searches for the truth behind the mysterious force known as the Matrix. He finds his answer with a group of strangers led by the charismatic Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne). What they encounter in confronting that truth makes for a lightning-paced, eye-popping thrill ride of a movie. Packed with stunning fight scenes (choreographed by accomplished Hong Kong director Yuen Wo-Ping), astonishing visual effects, quotable lines, and a terrific supporting cast (led by Carrie-Anne Moss, in her first major Hollywood film), THE MATRIX is a bold triumph that raises the bar for all science fiction films.

This has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. Although the plot left certain questions, that doesn't defeat the fact that it is a film that requires you to use your mind and in depth analysis. It could be a possible situation we might be faced with in the future. It also made a cinematic effect that could awe audiences for ages.<br>I might add that the film also provided a lot of in...
The Matrix. Deeper than it appears at first glance, yet also filled with some of the greatest action scenes ever, and is an instant classic
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY...ITS JUST THE BEST MOVIE EVER.
OH BOY.....the matrix, its a funny thing but here am I looking at this thing, wondering, yes WONDERING. Could this be true, is it really going on!? well...... sorta like that. I've been reading a book in the Bible called Ephesians this book written by someone named Apostle Paul he was in prison writting to this particular people telling, explaining who they are and what they are supposed to be...
That this movie belongs to a clearly recognizable genre -- man vs. machine -- in no way detracts from its cinemtaic value. The question is, does it do service to that genre? Definitely yes! Whenever filmmakers successfully combine stunning visual effects, interesting characters and a thought-provoking storyline, they've got a winner that deserves to be watched over and over again. This movie is a...
I generally liked the movie, but it overemphasized the CG. Nice eye candy, and it was good, but I believe that CG should support the story, not overshadow it. The themes were pretty neat (been done, but neat). I'm glad Keanu Reeves didn't talk too much--he just didn't fit in, he just seemed kind of like he was ripped straight from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and forgot to drop...
When I first saw that the "Matrix" was coming out I thought it was going to be another big bomb but after watching it over and over again, I really liked it. Good special effects and even the acting was good.
I know I'm going to take some flack on this one, but this movie just isn't that great. While the movie has surprisingly good visual effects, action sequences, and hand to hand combat, that is generally the depth of the movie's good attributes. The plot is one in which I am genuinely interested because of its post apocyliptic futuristic setting, and the fact that man created his own dimise....

The Matrix (Blu-ray Disc - 1999)
A spectacular movie with an outstanding cast. I never get tired of watching The Matrix, as there is always something new, exciting, and intriguing with every viewing. Keanu Reeves succeeded in establishing Neo as a new hero figure. He brought him to life, gave him all of the important qualities necessary to move the movie along and did it in a unique and sophisticated way. This movie will live on...
