Matrix

Pros: The best science fiction film in years, if not ever
Cons: A few, see below.

Far be it from me to try and reinvent the wheel, let alone write something original in the 920th review (or thereabouts) of The Matrix. Given that Income Share is likely to be smaller for such a review, and the fact that folks like Lambira,...

Pros: Great performances/script/plot
Cons: none (in my opinion)

I'm probably a bit late in writing this review, but I felt compelled to do it nonetheless. It is hard to express exactly how good I thought the Matrix was, but what I will say is it immediately became my favourite film after first seeing it in summer...

Pros: You can uncover (or think you uncover) more levels of meaning with each viewing.
Cons: Can take patience to grasp the concepts put forward

Its been a good few years since the Matrix trilogy was released so I’m going to assume that you have seen the films and as such this review alludes to vital elements of the story, in the words of English news-readers pre-paring to read football reports ...

Pros: Amazing special effects, hot babe in vinyl outfit. Interesting ideas.
Cons: Mediocre acting and plot, several cliches.

First of all, let it be known I am not a huge Matrix fanboy. I loved the effects, I like the movie a great deal, but I am not one of those people who worship it and know everything there is to know about it. This review will be written from that...

Pros: Hugo Weaving, Laurence Fishburne, the dynamic, albeit empty vision of the Wakowski Brothers.
Cons: Keanu Reeves may look good in the role, but his placidness gets in the way.

Note: This will be the last of my poetical reviews. From here on, I'm going to restrict myself to 1 or 2 figurative items per review. It's too exhausting to spit out 20 or so phrase-turns a day, and the reason why I started writing for this site (for...

Pros: Fun story. Fantastic SFX. Generally good cast.
Cons: Not terribly deep. SFX take over at times. The Reeves Thing. The Sex-Change Thing.

Everybody has entertained the suspicion, at one time or another, that there's something going on with the world you don't understand. What if that was true? What if the feeling pestering you "like a splinter in your mind" was more than just a feeling? ...

Pros: great special effects, works a cool idea
Cons: poor development, ending

Ah, the Matrix. The 'ultimate movie.' So many people tote this sucker as being the best movie ever, I almost believed it when I first saw it. Luckily, I tend to think a little bit more (no offense meant towards people who list this movie at number one)...

Pros: Totally original concept; many intense and exciting moments; interesting philosophies posited; outstanding SFX
Cons: Some might find it too violent or too bizarre to appreciate.

Considering the basic premise of “The Matrix,” it’s easy to call it a sci-fi flick. Yet there are a lot of other elements that make up this film such as action, adventure, fantasy and a wealth of deep philosophy. But that's what science ...

Pros: Unique, great action and special effects
Cons: can get boring in the beginning, long movie (about 3 hrs)

When i first saw The Matrix, I walked into the theater with mixed thoughts and predictions. When I walked out, I was blown away by the complexity of the film, the special effects, and the great action provided by this wonderful film.

...

Pros: The best mix of philosophy/action ever.
Cons: Gets tiring after your father makes you watch it 80 times.

MUST READ NOTE TO EVERYONE: THERE ARE TWO REVIEWS. THIS FIRST ONE REVEALS NO DETAILS OF THE MOVIE'S PLOT. THE ONE BELOW THIS FIRST ONE IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MATRIX REVIEW, AND IT REVEALS ALL OF THE MOVIE'S PLOT DETAILS, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEE ...

Pros: Eye-popping special effects, interesting concepts
Cons: over-the-top cartoon of science, unnecessary props

This film features a sophisticated plot that is crippled by a cartoonish stretch of the imagination. This is a great action film and science fiction adventure, but it could be a whole lot better if more energy was focused on a more realistic development...

Pros: Excellent story, Good character development, Great effects, Wonderful acting, DVD Extras
Cons: ? That sequels were made?

One of the films that I frequently reference when I am writing reviews of films is a little film called "Bound." "Bound" is a brilliant crime drama that is very intimate in scope (it has a remarkably short cast list), but surprisingly large in the way ...

Pros: special effects!!!
Cons: plot is confusing for a while

I have seen this movie two times and have greatly enjoyed it both times! All the special effects and its deep plot make it an eye catcher and a must see movie. When it first came out, I think a few months ago, I was extremely excited to see it. I had...

Pros: Special effects, lots of action.
Cons: Multiple viewings may be required to understand plot, stiff performances

"Thomas Anderson" (Keanu Reeves) is a computer programmer who leaves a double life as a computer hacker known as "Neo". He has been getting messages asking him what "The Matrix" is. When at work the next day, he gets a mysterious phone call on his cell ...

Pros: …
Cons: …

I remember when The Matrix first came out. This was supposed to be The Big Movie of the Season, with all of its amazing graphics and mind-blowing story. I had wanted to see it, but I had never gotten around to actually going to the theater. (Not ...
