Great movie. I love how it all comes together once he learns how to use the matrix.

A very complex but enthusiastic movie

I think the first part is fairly complicated.But i really appreciate the grand ideas of writer.To think something like this makes him unique...the second part is very nice but i didn't like third part that much.

Sci-fi that actually makes you think

Posted : 1 year, 4 months ago at Jul 10 15:11
The Matrix is a movie that harkens back to a time when effects weren't that spectacular, so you either had to focus on the creepy critter that you had to keep in the shadows, or where you had few to no effects at all, and focused almost completely on stories. Except with the Matrix, you can have the effects and the story. It's just too bad that they decided to try to continue. With this first film, they had everything they needed, both story and character-wise. In stretching out what they had, they entirely lost that plausibility that made the first movie work so well. The Matrix is one of those stories where the interpretation is broad enough to allow for layers of meaning, and the twist of having the real world versus the Matrix allowed for even more. But losing the secret of...Read more

The Matrix re-viewed

Posted : 1 year, 5 months ago at Jun 14 8:55
Such was the popularity of The Matrix that is broke through the sci-fi niche audience and sprawled into the mainstream. It now pervades popular culture on a momentous scale, regardless of the relatively disappointing sequels and questionable games that tarnish the franchise. It is, perhaps, one of the most visually impressive movies ever made. The Matrix was a cinematic benchmark upon its release, not only for science fiction films, but for all action-orientated movies. I don't think I've ever been as literally impressed with new film-making techniques as I was when I watched my VHS copy of this amazing film. I can't believe I missed this at the cinema, that would have been a truly mind-blowing experience. Dripping with cool in the form of dramatic costumes, revolutionary special-effec...Read more

Keano reeves is a horrible actor but after my 8th time watching I saw some flaws but it's still a mind bending film makes you look at everything with suspicion but the sequels recked it completely they made the series suck

I saw this movie for the first time when I was studying philosophy in college. It illustrated and brought to life many of the concepts we were studying about epistemology, plus it had a great story of betrayal and sacrifice.

It was good

Posted : 1 year, 11 months ago at Dec 11 20:21
it was great, but... after my third time watching it(a month ago(i dont watch it much) i realized that the effects were wierd... when i was a kid i loved it, but with an older mind(sumwhat) i noticed a few flaws and stuff, but overall i loved it, and completely original

Pretty Good

I admit its good, but not exactly the best. But i can say that it got me into Keanu Reeves, who is an amazing actor!

Talk about a mind blowing movie

The Matrix-1999+ Matrix Reloaded & Matrix Revolutions
“Talk about a mind blowing movie. The Matrix was off the charts. The special effects were revolutionary the first of their kind. The story was thought provoking and the action non-stop. The sequels were a little less inspiring story wise, but the special effects made it obvious that anything was now possible. Seeing Keanu Reeves fly was amazing. I knew some spectacular Superhero movies had to be on the horizon.”

Matrix

En primer lugar voy a reconocer que soy uno de los que, al salir de la sala de cine cuando vi Matrix, dije aquello de: 'esta película va a suponer un antes y un después en la historia del cine fantástico' Es evidente que los Wachowski colaron alguna imagen subliminal durante el metraje, ya que yo no como palomitas ni bebo liquido marrón con burbujas en los cines, por lo que descarto que usaran sustancias para convencerme de ello. No voy a despotricar sobre la película, puesto que me sigue gustando (acabo de revisitarla en DVD), pero desde luego mi impresión en esta ocasión no ha sido la misma. En primer lugar la historia no es original. la lucha entre humanos y máquinas por el poder ya la vimos en Terminator. Y la historia de una realidad virtual que nos engaña ya la vimo...Read more

Visual Futurism

Posted : 3 years ago at Oct 30 20:20
The Matrix is a visual dream that single handedly reshaped the future of movie making. The originality behind the story of a post apocalyptic future world shown through visually stunning effects has built a cult so strong within the science fiction genre that the line between real and imaginary has become as blurred as the movie.

Never have I left a movie theater in complete awe, where the story seemed to continue on as I looked at everything in my sight with a new state of uncertainty. What more can I say, when a movie makes you think that much about the outside world it has to be a 10.

Neat Movie

Neat movie with redemptive themes and great sci-fi action.
