Choose the red pill, all of you....
By a customer from Blackpool , 20 Sep 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
Imagine it. You wake up, and everything you know to be true is a lie. Your life, your home, your job, your money, it's all nothing. The reality is that the world is a wasteland, where humans are an endangered species struggling to stay alive (ala 'Terminator'), being fed to machines. Well, that my friends is what 'the Matrix' is all about.
All the hype, all the controversy you've heard about it, it's all justified. This is a revolutionary film. It has already become a pop-culture phenomenon and has been parodied and copied by so many films. At the young age of 4 years old, 'the Matrix' is already a classic. The special effects are the major breakthrough. Not since 'Terminator 2' and 'Jurassic Park' have audiences seen something this amazing. The only thing I can fault this movie on is the dialogue, which most people don't go to see anyways. The characters in this movie seem a little wooden at times, and the dialogue is written to basically set up the next scene. For example, Trinity was supposed to be in love with Neo, but did we, the audience, ever feel the connection? Things like this aren't justified in the writing, but the movie more than makes up for these minor faults in other ways.
The great thing about this movie is that, as long as it is, it's relentless. It never gives up. Rarely breaking or pausing. It's a full on assault on your senses. To see this movie in all it's glory is on the big screen. I first caught it when it came out in theatres, and I thought my face was going to melt. It's what I like to call an intelligent pop-corn flick. This is the 'Star Wars' for our generation- Was this review helpful to you?

(201)A must see sci-fi film
By rafster (2 reviews) , 23 Feb 2013One of the best science fiction films ever made, full of action, special effects, and an immersive storyline. This is a very popular movie for many good reasons. This movie has fast paced action surrounded by amazing special effects that when put together with an original plot, it delivers a very enjoyable ride. For me, this is one of the very few films I can watch again and again and this is because I get something new from it each time I watch it.- Was this review helpful to you?

the red pill is yours if you dare!!!!
By denis007 (133 reviews) , 24 Sep 2012First time I watched 'The Matrix', thanks to the advice of some good friends of mine. I was hooked the first time around. The best of the best! I did not see the time passing by. Three hours did not seem that long after all. I just can't wait to see number 2 and 3. If you have never seen this movie, don't look anywhere else. This is it!- Was this review helpful to you?
