Enter the Matrix
Review of The Matrix DVD by madcat86

Advantages: Brilliant narrative and excellent fight scenes
Disadvantages: keanu reeves still runs a little funny :P

This film is a 'must-see'! The first of the three episodes, but in my opinion, the best. The plot really makes you think about you and your surroundings. Neo, Keanu Reeves, a bored computer programmer stumbles out of his day-to-day life into the 'real' world. Guided by Morpheus, Fishburne, to attempt to show Neo his real abilities and to fulfil his destiny in this parallel world. The human-race is merely a power-source to artifical intelligence machinary ...
...have escaped the matrix to fight for the release of the rest of human-race. It has brilliant camera work and very memorable scenes through-out. The way some aspects of this filmed was ground-breaking in it's day - many new films attempt to mimic it's use. If your missing this film in your dvd collection.. you might aswell not have a dvd collection.. ... Read review

Reloaded. With blanks?
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by atytyut2434

Advantages: Cliffhanger
Disadvantages: cliffhanger

...SPOILERS! Opening exactly like the 1st movie and throwing us right into the action we get yet another Trinity action scene which is revealed to be Neo having a dream. Replacing some of the crew killed in the 1st film we get to meet Link (who will go on to be famous in LOST), this is also our 1st mention of and chance to actually see Zion. A lot of scenes in Zion go on far too long and are not needed at all, the huge dance rave being the worst offender ...
...Neo's 1st fight with the Smith's, Neo's fight after meeting The Keymaker are both far too long. Do the Directors not know how to cut a scene for pacing reasons? Yes, it looks cool. Yes, it's exciting but also sadly yes it detracts you away from what little plot there actually is at this point in the film. Basically all the stuff inside The Matrix this time is Neo trying to find The Architect who claims to be the creator of The Matrix (obviously this ... Read review

Great Idea, Mediocre Movie...
Review of Chain Reaction DVD by CaptainDisaster

Advantages: It tries really hard to be a tense techno-thriller...
Disadvantages: ... but fails, mainly through poor editing and production style.

...I'm Chain Reaction starts off with an intriguing premise and goes downhill from there, despite trying really hard to be a tense techno-thriller. In The initial idea, of a new power-source being developed from water (we're not talking traditional hydro-power here though) - which supposedly has the capacity to use the hydrogen in small glass of water to power the whole city of Chicago for weeks -is brilliant. The idea of the rich and powerful oil companies ...
...it's not bad. Chain There's a brain behind this film (somewhat a rarity for this genre), but unfortunately it's been rather lost in the translation. It's almost as though someone said, "Hey, here's a brilliant idea for a film, let's turn it into a mediocre movie" - and lo! - it became so. It's certainly not a terrible film - watching it didn't leave me feeling that part of my life had been stolen - just that I hadn't made a profit on what time I'd ... Read review

Buy this then Buy Revolution aswell!
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by homer__21

Advantages: Amazing fight sequences
Disadvantages: -

The second part of the Wachowski brothers' Amazing trilogy blasted onto our screens in 2003 with more funding and ground breaking film making. Although the story doesn't directly follow on from Neo's little speech that ended the origial this can be forgiven because of the direction the y now take the film in. Neo has discovered more of his extraordinary powers as 'The One' and the Zion community are worrying about a machine attack. But , whilst still ...
...the films main focus seems to be on Neo's path as he discovers what being the one really means. Lots of money was spent on the now famous bullet time technique which is what the films have become famous for. There is lots of this but as well, there is a lot more real time fighting between people. For example in the fight between Neo and Seraph it mixes modern hollywood fighting with Chinese style wire fu. A very impressive mix of techniques acting ... Read review
