By far my favorite film, and Hugo Weaving my favorite actor
Only one actor has been in the best movies of all time, and Hugo Weaving is it. The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, and V for Vendetta. I do not have to go into how great The Matrix is because anyone who doesn't believe in spoons already know this.

Hugo weaving brings such presence to the screen in every character he portrays. All I wish is that he was somehow in the Starwars films and he would have the greatest landmark in holly wood history. It wouldn't have hurt either if they had casted him in the X-men films. Hugo Weaving as Forge?

"He Is The One"
`The Matrix' released in '99 is in my opinion one of the most original, entertaining and thought-provoking films in the last 20 years and an undisputed classic in the sci-fi, martial arts, action/adventure genres.

I probably should also add the genre of religious films to the list. Initially you'll most likely be overwhelmed by the technological aspects of the film and focus on the computer lingo. However eventually you'll see that it also has a strong spiritual side and realize that is steeped in Eastern mystical philosophy. 'The Matrix' embraces the concept that the world as we experience it is only illusion (Maya) and to be truly free one must strive to break through the bonds that hold us to the transitory nature of things and see things as they really are. What a concept!

As is the case with most financially success films, `The Matrix' would spawn two sequels. Though the next two installments of the "Neo Mythos" would surpass the original in special effects, neither would come anywhere close to matching the sheer originality, inventiveness and audience interest of the first.

The digital shaman has arrived and the revolution is about to begin. The world as we know it is an illusion, take the red pill and WAKE-UP!

A must add to your personal DVD library. One of the Essentials.

A Great Movie
This is a great film. The films budget for this film was around $60 million and was the first film to (fully) employ 'bullet-time' effects- where computer software is able to slow down scene to the speed where moving bullets (and forces) can be seen.
The plot is potentially confusing which is why the film will make much more sense when watched twice.

Because of the high use of quality music (AC/DC) and awsome use of sound effects the film would be a great treat for your surround sound system- imagine a large scale gun fight between 10+ men darting along your speakers firing and shouting.

At times it can seem like your just waiting for a gun fight at the 'boring bits', but they are worth the wait.

The Dvd includes behind the scenes and all the standards you would expect from a DVD.

This film was made with the intention of not being in a trilogy but because of its populatity Warner Brothers gave a $300 budget to making 2 further films. These films can be seen as 'The Matrix Hollywoodised' because of its overmade and used computer effects and a plot that seems to intentially confuse you by never speaking in casual tongue in the film- at times you can feel like an idiot when you don't understand the plot.

In my opinion the first Matrix film is the best is has become a classic amoung action lovers.

While the other 2 films were entertaining as a novilty, 'The first Matrix film is how the Matrix was before Hollywood got to it'
