Amazon.co.uk Review
The Wachowski Brothers' The Matrix took the well-worn science fiction idea of virtual reality, added supercharged Hollywood gloss and stole The Phantom Menace's thunder as the must-see movie of the summer of 1999. Laced with Star Wars-like Eastern mysticism, and featuring thrilling martial arts action choreographed by Hong Kong action director Yuen Woo Ping (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), The Matrix restored Keanu Reeves to genre stardom, and made a star of Carrie-Anne Moss. Helping the film stand out from its rivals was the introduction of the now celebrated "bullet time" visual effects, though otherwise the war-against-the-machines story, hard-hitting style and kinetic set-pieces such as the corporate lobby shoot-out lean heavily on Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).--Gary S Dalkin

The original feature-packed single-DVD release of The Matrix became one of the format's early bestsellers and a must-have purchase for every new DVD owner. In anticipation of The Matrix 2 the movie has been re-released in this two-disc set, which combines the original disc with a companion two-hour documentary, The Matrix Revisited, that covers each and every aspect of the making of this ground-breaking movie in enough detail to satisfy even the most demanding of fans. There are contributions from all the principal cast and crew, who guide us from the story's inception in the minds of the Wachowski brothers right through to the preparatory work for the next two instalments. Also on the disc are: a teaser montage of behind-the-scenes footage for the follow-up movies, a section on the newly commissioned Japanimation "Animatrix" features, fight choreographer Yuen Woo Ping's blocking tapes, a piece about the fans, a breakdown of the bathroom fight and wet-wall sequence, a plug for the Web site and DVD-ROM extras. If that's not enough, there are even hidden extra "Easter eggs", including one about the woman in the red dress. Plenty, in fact, to keep fans satisfied until the second instalment arrives in cinemas.--Mark Walker

5.0 out of 5 stars Great repackaging of a modern classic, 7 Jan 2002
By C. Bailey (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Even if you're not a big fan of science fiction, this is an absolute must-have DVD for all film fans.
The Matrix will certianly go down as one of the great films of the 90's. Although many of the special effects have been copied by subsequent films, remember that this was the original, and this great DVD leaves you with that same feeling you had after you left the cinema; with your bottom jaw on the floor!
Brilliant extras, worth the price alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Question Answered !, 2 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This set has it all, the film itself ( of course ! ) followed by a sheer mass of trivia and information satisfying the hungriest of those searching for the "how did they" and the "is that possible" brigade. Some DVD featurettes just patronise, whereas this one, from start to finish does exactly what it says on the tin. Without doubt, this is the best DVD set I have ever bought from this or any other supplier, so, if you like The Matrix, and if you are curious as to how the whole thing fits together, or even if you just want the highest quality picture on screen & sound in your lugholes, then buy this pack, its the best few quid you'll spend in 2002 !

5.0 out of 5 stars scintilating, feature packed, superb film and dvd, 2 Jan 2002
By A Customer
The Wachowski brothers brilliant progressive and forward thinking film takes a no holds barred look into the future and drags the viewer with it on a rollercoaster of astonishing ideas and breathtaking special effects.

Keanu Reaves plays the lead role of Neo, alias Mr. Tom Anderson, and though his acting is not the brightest thing in this film, his look is perfect and the style and screen present he exudes makes the viewer believe he can really do the fantastical.

The rest of the cast are superb, the story is thought provoking and the cgi stunning. This is a definate classic and one of the best films of the modern cinema, if not of all time.

If you do not own this film, then buy it, if you own it then buy the collectors edition. If you have all the Matrix films, well, simply enjoy.
