The Matrix Ratings & Reviews
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 12, 2024Forever one of the best sci fi movies ever. Almost entirely perfect and much better than the sequels. It's also fascinating how good this movie looks after all these years.
- CubaneDecember 7, 2025An uncontested classic. But someone really should tell the machines that there are more efficient sources of energy than keeping humans in bathtubs.
- Michael SurberNovember 18, 2025Still one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made. Say what you will about 2001, this film was just as revolutionary and technologically advanced as any film that had gone before. Including everything that ILM had created for Star Wars. Watch this again like it was the first time and try not to have your mind blown with "bullet time" and the 360 degree camera shots. Then remember that no one had EVER shot film like that before. Still incredible.
- thoughtsinchaosNovember 17, 2025s-tier sci-fi classic that predicted tech's omnipresent control over human life... a movie that still wields strong influence over art & culture in 2025
- darsanMay 30, 2025"you take the blue pill... the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. you take the red pill... you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes" GODDAMN IM SOO GLAD THAT I RE-WATCHED THIS, THE EFFECTS STILL HOLD UP GREAT AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WAS 26 years ago.
- Jonas Hasle-JensenNovember 12, 2025An all time classic, a definite must see!
- รҡ૨אρƭเ∂March 2, 2025One of the greatest screenplays ever written. 9.8/10
- Halim MellickNovember 2, 2025It’s wild to think that the main thing stopping the Matrix from being a documentary is that it’s set in the year 2199 rather than the year 2030
- AngusMcNutzFebruary 24, 2025Probably one of the first, if not the first, films to pique my interest in cinematography. Under a microscope, this movie is full of narrative holes and clunky metaphorical musings but the true sum of its parts stands out beautifully as a genuinely fun watch.
- Richard SSeptember 11, 2025Freaking cool af
- Edson GabrielOctober 23, 2025Excellent movie!
- MofobianApril 29, 2025One of the first science fiction movies to really turn me into an existentialist.
- Camilo GutierrezOctober 7, 2025With this film, for the first time (actually, for the only time), I finished something feeling agitated and wanting to relive the experience, turn back time, and erase my memory so I could see it again.
- Aaron SavageAugust 29, 2025The best Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk series to date, no more words needed.
- SALVO GERMANYAugust 1, 2025Masterpiece
