Movie Reviews of The Matrix
Movie Review: Is it real or is it Matrix?
Summary: 5 Stars
For many, "The Matrix" is great special effects and great science fiction, which it undoubtedly is, and undoubtedly one of the best of the genre, but it is much more than that.
The Matrix is a spot-on science fiction analogy and metaphor for the manufactured and bogus reality (or "Matrix") that Americans are trapped in. The Matrix is a created artificial reality that is so well-done that actual reality is completely concealed. In the movie's Matrix and in the real (?) world , sometimes there is a "glitch" in the perception of "reality" that alerts a member of the Matrix that something is wrong with reality as they know it. Neo (Keanu Reeves) pierces the computer-created reality and fights the "agents" that are the enforcers of the artificial intelligence that is exploiting humans (using them as organic batteries) and using the created reality of the Matrix to conceal their reality of exploitation. This, of course, is easily analogized to using a media created reality enforced by various corporate agents to conceal their victims' similar exploitation as organic profit generators.
The Matrix is a milestone in moviemaking, special effects, fantastic action sequences, and use of an intelligent and imaginative science fiction plot to convey a message...a classic must-see movie.
Movie Review: Enter The Matrix -- You Won't Be Disappointed
Summary: 5 Stars
The Matrix is a pivotal film in the history of film. While that may seem overstated, The Matrix deserves every ounce of acclaim it has garnished over the years. Before this film, we didn't truly know action could be so good!
Neo (Keanu Reeves) is a mundane computer geek who lives an equally mundane existence. Until he takes an unexpected trip down the rabbit hole. Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), the legendary man who is only whispered about by the kind of people Neo knows, contacts him and offers him a choice: Learn what the Matrix is, or stay in your regular old life and remain unfulfilled.
He asks, "Did you ever have a dream you were so sure was real?" The philosophical influences in the Matrix are obvious to anyone familiar with works of Descartes. Neo chooses to learn what the Matrix really is, and that's when the fun really begins. Trinity (Carrie- Ann Moss) kicks some serious butt. Neo finds out the truth is scarier than fiction, and that reality is never what it seems to be. Love soon develops between Neo and Trinity, but not before Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) steps in to try to stop any hope from triumphing in a world dominated by killer machines. Are you ready for The Matrix?
Movie Review: TOP movie on many levels!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is still my favourite movie and one that I have seen more than 10 times. It is a movie that can be seen on many levels. Some will see it just as a great action movie which it is, but there is so much more to this film. It is a fantastic depiction of the journey of the spiritual seeker and the difficulties that he encounters within himself as he starts pushing against the prisons of his own mind and the multitude of programs that operates and which keep us small.
It also neatly depicts the way humans are kept as 'food for the moon' in Gurdjieff's words or simply food for ultra terrestrials. In the film this is depicted as humans, being little less than cultivated biological batteries for the machines.
The story is part of a trilogy and all three parts are worth watching more than once, as you will undoubtedly see new things each time. Things that start making sense only after some time of reflection and reading. In this regard I can recommend 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".
Movie Review: The Matrix (1999)-One of the best sci-fi flicks ever made!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Matrix (1999) was a great five star sci-fi film experience with a great plot, good acting, great first time special effects and lots of action. The film treated an old sci-fi idea concerning the nature of reality that I first encountered in a 50's book by Arthur C. Clarke. However, it added a great deal to this idea and provided great appeal with the computer generation by having its hero be a young programmer and computer hacker named Neo. Neo learns we are all the captives of an Artifical Intelligence (AI) and that our entire world is nothing but an elaborate program. We the people are only permitted to live because the computers depend on us for thermoelectric energy. Way out there but lots of fun.
Movie Review: Like A Religious Text
Summary: 5 Stars
Beyond words.
My estimation of this film goes up and up as I watch it again and again. This film contains a struggle that is hard to find in Literature, or anywhere. It is a war between two Trinities. One member of one trinity is actually named Trinity.
I also admire the interlocking faith each member of the Neo trinity had in each other. Each one believed in and rescued the other. Very subtle and powerful writing. The only problem is, which Trinity has a future?
