This is fun entertainment. I enjoyed watching the movie, not only for the F/X, but I wanted to know how the ending was going to turn out. The Matrix did its best to keep you in suspense, and it worked....but, I do believe that it could have done without the romance part. Some of the other comments have stated that they felt this movie left things unexplained....I for one didn't find anything that needed to be explained, I think the movie did a pretty good job in explaining something that is kind of tricky to explain.
The Matrix cleverly borrowed from other movies of this genre, i.e., Dark City and Total Recall, and it packaged it quite nicely with astounding special effects....to tell you the truth, I think The Gap commericals were instrumental in the freeze-frame-camera-motion effects. But, nevertheless, I would watch this movie twice..and to be honest with you, I think the writers made this movie a bit confusing so that people will see it twice, thereby increaseing the net profits of this movie....pretty clever!
One last note, If you enjoyed this movie, I suggest you rent Dark City.

Nothing really is significant in this movie except the brilliant acting by all the cast members. I feel that they know their parts so well, it's believable to watch them.....BUT, I'm disappointed with Paramount.
I was displeased a little by this Star Trek movie. I was completely confused by the plot and did not care about the inhabitants of this planet, nor did I care for the new villains. If this is supposed to be a franchise [Star Trek]; I would suggest that Paramount include more of current and past stories into future Star Trek movies. There were no tie-ins to the previous Star Trek series, i.e. Deep Space Nine or Voyager. What about all the problems with the Dominion? What ever happened to the Romulans, what about the Romulan reunification that Spock was working on 7 years ago? Those are much stronger stories than what Star Trek: Insurrection had to serve up.
The best, by far of the Star Trek movies, were the "Wrath of Khan" and "The Undiscovered Country". Because each one of these movies stayed true to stories of past Star Trek episodes and you, as the audiance, cared for the characters because you understood the situations and problems surrounding the story.
Paramount needs to stay true with its target audience and not try to meet the demands of over-zealous, but, brilliant actors. I understand that Patrick Stewart had a lot of say in this movie.
Please Paramount give us something more solid instead of trying to put a weak film out every 2 or 3 years, that could best be seen on TV.

I was a teenager once and could not find one connection with the characters of 'Can't Hardly Wait'. I'm 27 years old and could not find anything worth waiting for about this movie. Every teenager in this movie was overly Stereotypical and not realistic. EVERYBODY WAS CLUELESS. Well, at least the movie 'Clueless' had depth. This movie was entirely too shallow. I know that today's youth is nothing like this movie would have you to believe.
