And the critics say...

"The Matrix is a wonderful movie to chew up and spit out. It's astonishing that so much money, talent, technical expertise and visual imagination can be put in the service of something so stupid"-Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle, Wed March 31, 1999 |

“The Matrix finds that baffling place where the PlayStation meets the Steadicam and explodes it with singular shotmaking and state-of-the-art special effects. The Wachowskis have concocted a movie that looks wholly unique around the concept of The Matrix, which is sprung from a backstory so brilliantly sci-fi preposterous it makes Ray Bradbury novels look derivative.” Wesley Morris, The San Francisco Examiner, Wed, March 31, 1999. |

“The Wachowskis dare to be dense, piling layer upon layer in the storytelling, creating a future reality that is plausibly scary. If it's all a little hard to absorb, well, we're learning at the same rate as Neo. The Matrix is a journey into a genuinely original vision of our cyber future that will have you checking your own reality by the time its over.” –Marshall Fine, The Cincinnati Enquirer. |

“The Matrix is almost untenably cool, but beneath the sheen there's substance. What is The Matrix? It's genius.” - Nev Pierce, BBC Films. |

"This is the Hong Kong movie America's been waiting for. Really. After repeated attempts to import the likes of Hong Kong heroes Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-Fat, Jet Li and John Woo, Hollywood has finally successfully captured the Asian city's action-filmmaking style in a star named Keanu Reeves and writer-directors called the brothers Warchowski"- Box Office Magazine |

“Combine Dark City, any John Woo film, The Terminator, a dash of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, a pinch of Japanese anime and those holodecks from Star Trek: TNG, and you'll get The Matrix - a fast, high-concept sci-fi thriller with some superb visuals, intriguing possibilities but still somewhat lacking a cohesive story to pull it all together.” - Garth Franklin, Dark Horizons. |

“What is The Matrix? This was one of the most
ground-breaking films of its time. With its brilliant state of the art
technology, utilizing the now famous Bullet Time, used in everything from
Charlie’s Angels to Shrek!”- DarkDaze Magazine BACK TO MAIN |
