MCT:November 28, 2008''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.''
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.
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.
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. -
MCT:October 29, 2008"In a world of 1s and 0s...are you a zero, or The One?"
What if virtual reality wasn't just for fun, but was being used to imprison you? That's the dilemma that faces mild-mannered computer jockey Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) in The Matrix. It's the year 1999, and Anderson (hacker alias: Neo) works in a cubicle, manning a computer and doing a little hacking on the side. It's through this latter activity that Thomas makes the acquaintance of Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), who has some interesting news for Mr. Anderson -- none of what's going on around him is real. The year is actually closer to 2199, and it seems Thomas, like most people, is a victim of The Matrix, a massive artificial intelligence system that has tapped into people's minds and created the illusion of a real world, while using their brains and bodies for energy, tossing them away like spent batteries when they're through. Morpheus, however, is convinced Neo is "The One" who can crack open The Matrix and bring his people to both physical and psychological freedom. The Matrix is the second feature film from the sibling writer/director team of Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski, who made an impressive debut with the stylish erotic crime thriller Bound.
Review
The Matrix is a movie of utter brilliance. The storyline hits you like a blow to the head... could this world ever form into reality, a real eye opener. The Wachowski brothers with the aid of phenomenal visual effects create a movie which will revolutionize the sci-fi movie industry, a must see movie! Laurence Fishburne(Morpheus) plays his character to a tee. The cool, aggressive and serious leader of the resistance has us at one moment at a sense of ease, the next, a rush of sheer fast flowing adrenaline streams our bodies. -
MCT:October 11, 2008
This is just an updated version of Plato's Allegory of the Cave, so all them film snobs saying that this was a "Dark City" rip-off can go choke on a chill pill. Even if the Wachowski's did steal some ideas, "The Matrix" is still superior in its acting (Yes, despite the Reeves dude), sci-fi, action and entertaining departments. "The Matrix" is also the film with the deeper philosophical questions, which explains the sequels. So there.

Morpheus: What are you waiting for? You're faster than this. Don't think you are, know you are. Come on. Stop trying to hit me and hit me.
A Visual Treat. Live action anime. One of the few movies where I can describe it as really cool. The whole movie is a lot of fun and very cool indeed. Neat ideas combined with lots of wire-fu, some kick ass fight scenes and a great soundtrack. Lots of philosophical non sense tossed around and backed by Laurence Fishburne's Morpheus, who just seems to be in his element here.
Neo: Whoa.
Keanu Reeves is once again tasked with saving the world, this time he could be "the One," and it is up to him to use crazy martial arts and gunplay as well as "knowing thyself" to do so.
Reeves is Neo, a cyber hacker who is introduced to a harsh reality revolving around what something known as the Matrix actually is.
Tank: So what do you need? Besides a miracle.
Neo: Guns. Lots of guns.
Live action anime is an appropriate statement, the Wachowski Brothers have drawn influence from this medium in order to create an original film that feels as if it could easily fit into the genre, were it to have been animated instead. That being said, this film is amazing in terms of its visual style, combining some innovative visual effects with a 50s noir feel.
Once again this is overall a film about having fun. You can easily make fun of the plot going on, or you can go with it and have a good time. The film was a unique experience the first time and still remains a wonderful combination of visual sense and intriguing enough storytelling.
I have a good time, every time I watch it, it has cool effects and looks great throughout. Oh, and Joe "Pants" Pantoliano is in this, which is another nice touch.
Sci Fi - Action at its best.
Morpheus: How did I beat you?
Neo: You... you're too fast.
Morpheus: Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place? Do you think that's air you're breathing now? -
MCT:December 4, 2008I am sorry but matrix has never been a favourite of mine. I saw all the films when I was drunk and it didnt make any sense

The Matrix is fun, incredible imagination and amazing vision. Keanu Reeves is brilliant at the kung fu scenes and twisting out of the way of bullets.

hola, yo creo que Matrix es una pelicula que habla de la realidad crudamente, y como aun el mundo no lo comprende asi, para divulgarla dentro del celuloide hubo que encuadrarla en un genero, y el mas cercano es la ciencia ficcion, pero a mi punto de analisis de ficcion no tiene casi nada,a diferencia de muchos, a mi la parte que menos me gusta, es mas, me aburre, es la de los efectos especiales y los combates, me atrapa y mucho!, la trama, la profundidad de las descripciones que hace a lo largo de toda la trilogia, por eso creo que el mundo necesitaba a Matrix, saludos!
