The Matrix is a great movie for so many reasons. You have a great soundtrack, prefect actors, action scenes like no other, and special effects that are jaw dropping. Keanu Reeves stars as Neo who leads a pretty boring life. All the sudden he gets a message to follow the white rabbit, then has to choose between the red and blue pill, learns Kung Fu, and has to become "The One". While he doesn't believe he is "the One" Morpheus does and does everything he can to train Neo the best he can. This movie also introduced bullet time, a very cool special effect. My favorite part of this movie is when he walks into a building, the metal detecter beeps and the guard asks him to remove any metal objects, you should know the rest and if you dont, you need to See this movie! It is a great movie all around!
This film is one of my favorite films ever. This kicks butt in story line, graphics, fighting, & action. I have seen this over 25 times and like it every time. Of the three released this is the Best.. Must buy!!!
My son wanted the movie and I couldn't find it anywhere so I looked on ebay and there it was. So I decided to bid on it to see if I could win it for him. Of course I did and so now my son is very happy and now he has the whole set. This is the reason why I bought it. Thanks Judy
Keanu Reeves delivers an awesome role in this great action explosive science fiction movie. I loved the graphics and the story/plot. This movie is excellent for all ages. My family and I had a house fire and this movie was at the top of my list of ones I needed to replace, IMMEDIATELY!! Highly recommended.
I really liked how the seller was honest about the discription of the product. It was new and was sealed in the original plastic. On top of that, I received my purchase in less than a week!
Without question the most mind blowing, groundbreaking, special effects extravaganza of its time. The Trilogy follows Neo, an unlikely, unwilling hero on a quest to save the last humans from slaughter by the AI machines they have created. Bullet-time photography and remarkable visual effects make this Trilogy the most provocative, powerful statement about external controls in our world today, get it, keep it, share it. PoR
My all time favorite best blend of thought provoking ideas and action and inovative filmography.

"...THE MATRIX soars with its feet in the air..." Rolling Stone - p.76 - Peter Travers
"...A breathtaking rollercoaster ride..." -- 4 out of 5 stars Premiere - p.134 - Holly Gallo
"...Clever....This virtual-reality saga takes advantage of Reeves' sometimes endearingly boyish personality..." USA Today - Mike Clark (03/31/1999)
"...A wildly cinematic futuristic thriller..." Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (03/31/1999)
"...THE MATRIX is a visually dazzling cyberadventure, full of kinetic excitement....It's great looking, both in its design and in the kinetic energy that powers it. It uses flawlessly integrated special effects and animation to visualize regions of cyberspace..." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (03/31/1999)
Oh my gosh! What an action packed, involved movie this was. The scenes, the story, and the actors were all fantastic. You definitley want to watch this more than once. There is so much to see, and understand. Very fast paced, edge of your seat movie. I loved it!!!!
I bought the movie because i like it a lot and had not had a chance to buy it before now that i have my ebay account i can buy a lot of things i had not had acess before.
This movie was a breaktrough on the future ideas of our planet, even though the subject is a little unreal, what can be considered real.
the movie was just what i wanted. so i bought it and it was shipped to me..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I`m NOT a sci-fi fan, and didn`t buy into all the pro-Matrix hype back in the day. Big mistake! This is an awesome movie, and while it IS sci-fi, I feel it trancends genre. The story, action, effects, and so on will endear it to about anyone, so long as they keep an open mind. If watching this movie for the first time, you must pay CLOSE attention the first 35+ minutes, until Neo meets Morpheus...the "red pill" part. When this "red pill" thing happened, I about fell out of my chair. It`s one of my favorite parts in ANY movie. If you give this movie a fair chance, you`ll be glad you did. I just bought a DVD so I could see it uncut (only watched it on AMC up to now), and I anticipate it will be even better, if that`s possible. Just get it!
Makes you question reality.... brings up some interesting points on how we view our world. Are we really here or is it all an illusion and an in depth dream created by machines?? Why do so many things taste like chicken? Hmmmmmm
The Matrix is one of my all time favorite movies. I loved the scene when Noe and Trinity shot their way through the lobby. The Matrix is one of those movies I can sit and watch over again, even though I know how it all works out. I suppose it part of the magic. But somehow you can't shake the feeling maybe it will all end differently this time.
Unlike many other FX movies, this one isn't too bad on the small screen either.
I decided to buy this because I've always been a fan of movies such as these. The Matrix has it all. Great acting, cinematography, action sequences, etc. A great collection for fictional movie lovers.
I like to have the complete set of movies and when my original copy came up missing, I looked at all the stores. eBay was the only place that I found it.
