Customer Reviews

The mystery begins.

To Neo (Keanu Reeves), it seemed as if his entire life was a dream. As with most of us, he was searching for something. He was also looking for a person named Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) who would be able to answer the provocative question, “What is the Matrix?” It just may be possible that for other reasons, Morpheus may be looking for Neo. The movie producers get points for being the first people to do the FX. This film, even though it has a beginning and an end, is the first in a series that unfolds further truth. Keanu Reeves plays his part well; however, he is better as Siddhartha in “Little Buddha” (1993). The little trick with pills reflecting off the glasses was good. Speaking of Buddha, one does not realize until going through the rest of the films in this series that there is a subtle Buddhist philosophical thread running through them. Even though this is a review of the first film in a series or trilogy, I do have the complete Blu-ray set. It rather grows on you. When you run out of Matrixes, then it is time to see an earlier TV series with this theme decades before the Matrix. “World on a Wire” (1973).

1 out of 15, this was badly scratched

This one was really scratched (sigh) kept getting stuck. Out of 15 dvds bought, not bad and another was bad burned copy, but I got my movie :(
