Movie Reviews of The Matrix Revisited
Movie Review: NOOOOOOT BAAAAD!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a fan of the hit movie "THE MATRIX" you have GOT to own this DVD. It goes even deeper down the rabbit hole than ever thought imaginable to give us an insight of the inner working of the brothers Wachowski's brain.These two fine fellows have a magical way of bringing their ideas to reality and I take my hat off to them.
The enthusiasm they generate rubs off on all the cast and crew and I wait with bated breath for the next two Matrix movies. This is going to be the trilogy to top all trilogies.
I love getting all the background information ~ conceptual, musical, editorial, graphical and the makers of The Matrix have outdone themselves with providing everything the avid fan wants and they also dangle the carrot before our eyes with what's to come.
The cast went through "merry" hell to deliver the goods on this movie and KUDOS to you, especially Keanu Reeves who for most of the time was recovering from neck surgery.
I agree with all and sundry and this film should have got more Oscar nods, but let's hope that The Academy do not fail next time to give credit to whom it is long overdue for the amazing piece of filmaking that is The Matrix.
I would also add that I am very pleased that they included what the fans are saying because this film has generated fandom as never before. I would have liked to have been involved more with the international get together's and friendship this movie has made for the fans out there. Congratulations to "KYOTE", "KIRA", "AKS" and "LUCID DREAM" for getting their perspective out there.
VERY WELL DONE!!
Movie Review: More than it seems...
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of the other reviewers have covered the main content on the disc well. If you would find a 2 hour documentary that goes deeper into the making of the Matrix than the extras on the main DVD interesting, this is for you. A must-have for hard-core Matrix fans, a decent rental for the casual fan. You probably won't watch the documentary twice.HOWEVER, this DVD has huge benefit which I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else online- the "hidden" features. There are a bunch of them. Most are short, video clips covering particular subjects (example, an anecdote about "the Woman in Red" describes how a bystander was so distracted by the actress that he seriously damaged his car). But the real gem is the hidden "jukebox". It's found off the "languages" menu, and has 41(!) full-length audio-only tracks, all leading-edge indie electronica stuff (no Prodigy or Rob Zombie here!). Many (all?) of the songs are used as background music in the video portions of the disc. Sound quality is pretty good -- some songs are more obviously compressed than others. It's this feature that really "made" this disc for me... it's a shame they chose to hide it so well, since many people (and apparently most "professional" reviewers) don't know it's there.
Movie Review: Love the Matrix? You'll love this...
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best and coolest documentaries I've ever seen. Anyone who loves the matrix, or loves 'technical but not overly technical' documentaries will love this.
One thing I love about Revisited is how much it feels more like a separate film from the Matrix; at the moment I'm watching Revisited more than the movie, and enjoy it every time.
Also, the movie is divided into chapters (just as every other DVD is...) except on this DVD, each chapter is a separate sub-documentary that focuses on a specific aspect of the film (example: special effects, costumes, etc.) Come to a chapter on the DVD that you don't think will interest you? Hit the ol' skip button on your remote and you can go to the next sub-documentary.
Another thing I love about this is how much closer you feel to the cast and crew when you are finished watching; you see how they think, train, work, film, imagine, create, design, build, and just about everything else that has to do with the matrix films (yes, it briefly discussed the trilogy near the end.) You feel higher than other Matrix nerds after you watch this simply because you know a few more random facts about it than they...and I love that feeling.
Movie Review: A perfect companion peice to a remarkable film.
Summary: 5 Stars
In, 1999 one of the most critically hailed sci fi films was brought to life from the Washowski brothers, just like Star Wars
it was a groundbreaking and landmark film it was (The Matrix)and
it was awarded with 5 oscars,unheard of for any sci fi film but
the Washowski brothers did it and now almost two years later it
has it's very own fan following and even has been shown at some
theatres around the world at 12 midnight and has a highly and
anticipated sequel due out in 2002 and yet another film is in
the works.The producer and directors have answerd their fans
and the many who loved the groundbreaking film and have put out
this worthwhile supplemental to accompany the film that takes a
behind the scenes look at every aspect of the film from start
to finish and beyond.A look at the martial arts and website as
well as some hidden features such as charachter profiles and
a party mix of the DVD music , so as your waiting patiently
for the sequal this is worth it to pick up and you will have
plenty on The Matrix till then and find out what The Matrix is.
Movie Review: Further expansion of dipitcting the nature of our current reality
Summary: 5 Stars
There is no excuse for anyone to have not watched this movie. But how many people who watch it really understand that it is gives a superb analogy to understanding our current reality.
We live in a world of illusion, distraction, economic slavedom and material indulgence. Breaking free from these culturally programmed distractions will enable you to break free from the real Matrix that we inhabit.
Still think the Matrix is fantasy??? To really explore the reality of our 'matrix' try reading the book by Ouspensky called "In Search of the Miraculous", and the book by Laura Knight-Jadczyk called "The Secret History of the World".
It's your choice, get swallowed up in the illusion of job titles, pensions, media propagated fear, control and consumption or start living your own truly free life!!!!
