One of the best DVDs out so far, much more than just a movie!

Rating: Null/10 (30 September 1999)

December 2019 update. My wife and I just watched this again on Blu-ray, even though we have seen it multiple times it still is captivating. Simply a marvelous movie, and some might make the case that this is the best movie ever made.
This is a review of "The Matrix" on DVD.
If you like sci-fi action movies, this is certainly one to watch, even to own. For what it is, I give it a "10". It kept me wide-eyed all the way through. I'm sure I'll be saying the same thing after my 20th viewing, sometime in the year 2015. (Update: it is now 2019, and I have seen it maybe 8 times, still a great, ground-breaking movie, I come away even more impressed each time. Simply one of the best and thought provoking movies ever made.)
The DVD picture is perfect all the way through, and the 5.1 surround sound is quite thrilling. But, the "extra" features are a big reason to buy the DVD.
One "extra" is the whole movie played at a subdued sound level while the editor, special effects supervisor, and actor comment on their own reactions and explanations of various scenes.
Another "extra" is playing the movie in normal mode where a white rabbit appears during certain scenes. If you want to see how that scene was filmed, you can click when the white rabbit appears and it will take you to the "behind the scenes" shooting. Then the movie resumes.
There also is a featurette which shows how the entire movie was filmed. Or, you can play the musical soundtrack alone.
All in all, a great action sci-fi movie with the most interesting set of "extras" I have seen so far on a DVD. Isn't it amazing how much stuff they get on that small disc that only holds about 70 minutes of music in its CD version!!
