Product Description

Synopsis

The Matrix: Unlocked; An Unauthorised Review of The Matrix Phenomenon; The Matrix was the movie phenomenon of the 1990's. With its surreal storyline, unique characters and ground breaking SFX, the film opened to critical and commercial acclaim and rapidly became a blockbuster hit. It achieved cult classic status on its video and DVD release and legions of fans around the globe were desperate for a sequel to answer the question on everyone's lips: 'What is The Matrix?'. In 2003, all will be revealed as the Warchowski Brothers unleash Matrix: Reloaded and Matrix: Revolutions into cinemas worldwide...soon the truth will be known. In this guide, the legend of The Matrix is deconstructed and scrutinised as the characters and stories are examined in detail and compared to their Greek Mythology counterparts. Each of the threads of the plot are deconstructed and the various theories that have been debated on the internet and in the press are examined. The Matrix: Unlocked explores the cultural, historical and technological background to the trilogy and will help fans discover more about the movie than they knew and to understand the bigger picture behind the making of the movies, the writers, cast and crew. The Matrix: Unlocked is the ultimate guide for fans, written by a fan. This is where the mystery starts to become clear. Its time to go into The Matrix once again...

3.0 out of 5 stars The Matrix Unlocked? .. not really, 23 Mar 2004
If you are a fan of the movie, and I mean a FAN, then most of the things discussed in this book you will probably know. The fact that the author Paul Condon has also written a synopsis of both movied (since Revolutions wasn't released when published) and has gotten the ending for Reloaded COMPLETELY wrong may anger some (it infuriated me since he obviously didn't watch the movie properly).

He does, however, seem to get the general message of what the Matrix is about and even seems to mock readers half through the book, which I found humourous.

The book on the whole is alright, and would be a good introduction to new fans of the movies wishing to gain a little more interest into them (with the exception of the Reloaded ending). But this books seems to be haven been written more out of a 'jump-on-the-bandwagon' feel with the intent on cashing on the movies success than out of appreciation for the subject matter. It seems rushed together and not fully thought through.

Good for new fans, no so good for older ones who have read most of the intersting little tit-bits about name and other film connections before.
