"A reminder of how exhilirating it is when Hollywood hits a home run"

Carlo Cavagna
4/4
"A movie so visually enthralling, so exciting and so elaborate that it deserves nothing short of universal acclaim. It's lavish, fascinating, beautiful, magnificently written, well directed, and effectively executed in every way."

David Keyes
3.5/4
"A surreal, icky, post-apocalyptic cyberpunk hacker mind-trip of a movie."

2/4
"At least the Wachowski's attempted to do something different than what had been seen before, even if the finished product isn't quite the success they obviously yearned for."

Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick

Sci-Fi Movie Page
James O'Ehley
5/5
"Revolutionary sci-fi fable pits kung fu against evil robots."
Netflix
James Rocchi
"A fun combination of cerebral sci-fi elements and stunningly impressive action sequences!"
Screen It!
Jim Judy
8/10
"...combines special effects, with crazy fights featuring freaky Hong Kong action and unbelievable strengths, and a non-stop pace to a chase that seemed inevitable from the start."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
3/4
"There is no denying that fact that the Wachowski Brothers have amazing imagination and vision. They direct the film with non-stop style and imbue each scene with enough eye-candy to make you stop noticing the gaping plot holes and lapses in logic."
Big Picture Big Sound
Joe Lozito
7/10
"...comes in with all speakers firing, a sci-fi thriller that's short on logic but long on visual and visceral excitement."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
"The story? It’s not bad, but it definitely takes a back seat to the astounding visuals."
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
3/4
"Ciencia ficción a su más puro y alto nivel. Verdaderamente recomendable"
Moviola
Jorge Avila Andrade

Montreal Film Journal
Kevin N. Laforest
9/10
"Una fotografía interesante, un guión inteligente, actuaciones convincentes, una historia trepidante, un soundtrack fuerte y bien realizado"
Cinenganos
Luis Martinez
9/10
"This dazzling pop allegory is steeped in a dark, pulpy sensibility that transcends nostalgic pastiche and stands firmly on its own merits."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
6/10
"When there was so much potential for an intelligent story here the Wachowski Brothers have opted to spend most of their screen time on mindless action."

The Matrix
is a great piece of eye candy."
Movie Habit

9/10
"Amazingly deep and cool!"
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
4/4
"A feat of alchemy, blending modest parts into a stunning whole that really has no business working as brilliantly as it does."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
4/5
"Despite electrifying visuals, the most intriguing scene in the movie is Neo's quiet conversation with a woman who is taking some cookies out of the oven."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
3/5
"The paranoid details of the premise are thoroughly worked out; the characters and motives, much less so."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves

"A great-looking action film."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
"A tighter, cleaner story could only have helped
The Matrix
become one of the greats of its genre. I still like it a bunch."
Reeling Reviews

B
"The most influential action movie since
Star Wars
."
Decent Films Guide
Steven D. Greydanus
3/10
"Aimed specifically at a young, male audience, this challenging sci-fi adventure is big on visuals and short on story."
