Customer Reviews of The Matrix - Limited Edition Collector's Set
The Matrix scores with special effects Back in 1999, before the much hyped and anticipated Star Wars Episode 1 was to be released, a little talked about and hyped science fiction movie slipped in under the radar a few months later and dazzled audiences with it's incredible fight scenes and special effects.
The Matrix is about a hacker (Keanu Reeves) that discovers he is really part of a huge virtual reality where his body energy powers evil machines that have enslaved mankind. He is rescued by human rebels and told that he is "the one"; the man that will lead humanity out of slavery. Or something. Did I mention people free of the machines had incredible powers and were constantly pursued by some very nasty machines, inside and outside of the matrix?
The movie sports a plot that is much more nonsense than brain teaser, but neo-norish settings that make the computer generated backgrounds of The Phantom Menace look kiddy like in comparison. The action is wide and varied, from kung fu fights with machines to shootouts in helicopters to a particularly stunning shootout in a massive, pillar filled lobby. To get to the action, however, can somewhat test your patience, especially if you're not a fan of Keanu's deadpan style of acting. Watch the whole film once, and buy the DVD so you can skip to the action scenes.
Paradigm for a classic film
The movie was incredible. The plot was complete with a sappy but enchanting love story, breathtaking action and fighting sequences, and an edge-of-your-seat climax of twists that led to an orgasmic conclusion of events. The story line had seemingly endless depth that seemed simple to put together, but upon close scrutiny, was a cover for various subplots (some intentional, some are haphazardly conjured up by passionate Matrix freaks like myself). The parallels wih the story of Jesus, for example, seem irrefutable. The cast played their characters to the utmost. Even middle-aged Lawrence Fishburn's (Morpheus) karate scenes were unsettlingly believable. Keanu Reeves (Neo)demonstrated superior martial arts technique (with the help of digitization and wires of course) as well. The screenplay was absolutely riveting. The breakthrough visual effects, like Neo dodging bullets in detailed slow-motion, or the (now hackneyed) "jump-and-remain-in-the-air-while-the-camera-does-a-360 degree-turn-around-the-action" effect, all leave the viewer in a visual and mental bliss. In my honest opinion, the Matrix is the greatest movie of the decade...(yes, its better than that movie too...whatever it was you were thinking isn't nearly as great, trust me). It's one of those movies you watch 50 times and still be able to find some new, integral piece of the story. The best part of the movie is the fact that it is going to be a trilogy. Star Wars eat your heart out.
very good
very good action, acting, plot, and dvd. much better than the dissapointing reloaded. haven't seen revolutions.
