    One of the most invigorating movies of the last decade. A unique science fiction story portrayed beautifully.

    Forget Wanted this is the ultimate bullet dodgeing film. unlike Wanted the slow mo doesn't frusterate but rather amaze. Not to be missed by action junkies.

    Genre-defining, stunning concept, fantastically acted. One of 'those' movies that has just got something that can't be described.

    Revolutionary special effects and new story style win over Keanu's stiff and sub par acting - Half star loss for casting him. This movie set a new standard for visual style that has been copied endlessly now.

    I loved the Matrix films, they really broke the mould and I love the whole alternative reality storyline.

    Oh my god! That's all I have to say about it.
    I think that the Matrix is a stepping stone in moviemaking history considering the effects, escpecially the slow bullet thing. Just great!

    What can I say about the first perfect movie I have ever seen? Stands its ground as its own movie or, if you have eight hours a trilogy operatic in its scope. Beautiful in every way, was the forerunner of the new wave of fight-as-art theme in new movies.

    My favourite movie, where you find action, suspense (though not anymore now that I've watched it so many times) and lots of fuel for thought. Great if you enjoy philosophy comme moi :)

    ''Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.''

    ''What truth?''

    ''There is no spoon.''

    ''There is no spoon?''

    ''Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.''


    Keanu Reeves : Neo. The one, this is Keanu's most iconic role, still think it would of been good if Will Smith had done it, as he auditioned for the role also at the time. Keanu displays the ordinary working man who's a computer hacker in his social time. His movements and interaction with other characters is truly above par.

    Laurence Fishburne: Morpheus. Playing the tutor, the guide, Neo's teacher and friend. Yoda like sternness and a level of seriousness befitting of his character.

    Carrie-Anne Moss: Trinity. This along with Memento was Carrie's best career choices hands down.

    Hugo Weaving: Agent Smith. A cold calculating alien entity who is an agent/guardian of the program. Hugo is perfect for the job, he's got some killer lines and such exquisite facial expressions and mannerisms. Another iconic role and fine performance from an exceptional actor. Rings, and this, incredible. The recent V for Vendetta also by The Wachowski Brothers, shows what a versatile actor Weaving is.

    A computer hacker and by day office worker, Mr Thomas Anderson learns from mysterious rebels about the true nature of his reality and his role in the war against the controllers and boundaries of it.

    Who would of thought that in 1999 something this revolutionary would come along?

    Forget Phantom Menace this blows it away, conceptually and ideas wise.

    The choreography is remarkable yet to be noted that the stunt work has been used to similar effect for years in Chinese and Japanese Cinema. The whole bullet time was phenomenal and the boundaries of a universe that can be broken fascinates me.

    It's got a vibrant soundtrack, a greeny yet at times blue tone to the whole film which really does set the whole matrix feel . Immerses your senses, a good question on what is real and what reality really means. How it defines us and what we perceive. Throws everything in the air and i know it's obviously fantasy sci/fi but what if? What if everyone was stuck in a dream, a virtual dream, a worldly program.

    Ahead of it's time, the best and Only Matrix (Except Reloaded) worth watching.

    Gives birth and life to the whole genre.

    A dystopia masterpiece with a flair of raw power. The matrix has you, it has us all.

    didn't get it, but I like Laurence Fishburne; Deep Cover and Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned were better vehicles for him

    The Matrix movie series is one of the few series, that no one can really explain the plot to, but everyone enjoyed it. The effects in this movie were what pushed it to the front.

    This movie is INCREDIBLE!!! Oh man the acting,the special effects,the story plot it's just ALL unbelievable!! A HUGE thing is that this movie has a HUGE HUGE religious aspect to it. This world that we're living in is real but it won't last forever and someday we are going to wake up and find that we will either end up in the real real world of heaven or still in a way "in the Matrix" in hell for eternity. You have to choose to either take the blue pill or the red pill...

    When the Christian and Buddhist met to discuss about the movies, they made it real for everyone to see. Nobody expect that even the muslim knows what it is all about.

    Saw this again today. Gotta love those action scenes. Interesting that one could develop a story where you can bend "truth" at will to suit the story. Neo is killed by the computer, but a kiss from Trinity wakes him up and he saves the universe for us humans???
