The Matrix: This is what started it all. The movie is known
to have started the revolutionary slowing down of time effect. This movie is
amazing. I wont go over the plot but I think I found a plot hole. During the
movie the machines are trying to unlock Morpheus’ mind to find out the codes to
Zion ’s mainframe but in the latter movies, the
machines know just where to find Zion
Complaints
aside, I love the flow of the film. It’s the best in the trilogy but not by a
whole lot. The special effects and dialogue are excellent. There just weren’t
that many movies like this one when it first came out in 1999. My favorite part
has to be where Neo took on Agent Smith 1 on 1. Make no mistake I think this
movie is in the conversation for best sci-fi movie of all time.
Rating: 10/10
The Matrix Reloaded: How do you follow up a sci-fi classic?
You make the sequel with even better special effects and elaborate fight
scenes. There are some really really awesome scenes in this movie. There’s the
really long car chase scene with Trinity, Morpheus, the keymaker, the twins,
and some agents. Then there’s the brawl between Neo and 100 renegade Agent
Smiths. My favorite part has to be the final scene where Neo catches Trinity
while moving at what appears to be light speed.
Overall I feel Reloaded has more action than the original
but some scenes like the tribal dance scene just seemed like a kind of waste of
time. The movie is also a cliffhanger. When I saw it for the 1st
time in 2003 I was thinking 2 things; how long do I have to wait for the final
movie and how in the hell are the good guys going to bounce back?. I didn’t
have to wait very long.
9.5/10
The Matrix Revolutions: This and Reloaded were actually
filmed as 1 big movie and as you watch Revolutions you get that vibe.
Revolutions is a good movie but a lot of people didn’t think it was all that.
It’s the most complex of the 3 movies and it really is just a conclusion to its
predecessor.
The huge battle scene comes up fairly quickly in this movie as the machines try to destroy the city ofZion
