>I won't lie to you, Neo. Every single man or woman who has stood their ground, everyone who has fought an Agent has died. But where they have failed you will succeed. I've seen an agent punch through a concrete wall. Men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air, yet their strength and their speed are still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that, they will never be as strong or as fast as you can be.
Saw it on opening day Wednesday, 3/31/99 and walking in I only knew it was a CyberPunk Flick with Keanu Reeves. When credits rolled much of the audience remained seated to discuss how their minds had just been blown.
I miss the late 90s and the early 2000s. They had some good ass movies that didn't have dogshit CGI.

I can only imagine what that was like. I know it's nothing like the same level, but I was a teenager when Inception came out and I went in blind and (given my limited experience of films back then) it blew my mind, at least visually, and those of the several friends who came with me having only watched the first trailer. I think people have forgotten already how fantastic that practical rotating-hotel fight scene was at the time after years of nothing but CGI blur sludge like Transformers.

>the redpill is an allegory for trannies accepting they are trannies >/pol/tards are too retarded to see that the ironing
Lucas James
that fucking shootout with all the concrete pillars exploding and him just throwing the guns away when they ran out of ammo it seems so cliche now but it was fucking incredible at the time
Lucas Reyes
since you got that wrong, i'm guessing you also think they invented the term redpill right?
discord trannies will never learn...
Bentley Sullivan
it's not cyberpunk
Samuel Mitchell
You're right. It's like the Exorcist or Star Wars. You have to have been there to truly appreciate it. Late 90's to early 00's were the golden age of big movies Matrix, Lotr, all that jazz.
Eli Reed
The first Matrix movie is great. The sequels are just sad though.

You don't have much choice. Probably best you activate the helium now, user. A very few people will probably even say "he was so young and had such promise" although they're unlikely to mean it.
Camden Jenkins
i remember the vibe of the matrix sequels being very similar to the star wars prequels. everyone was so hype and then they came out and it was like.....eh. there was that period where you try and convince yourself that it's actually not that bad and hey it had that one epic car(/pod racer) chase sequence also they both had animated kino short films that was far better than actual films themselves
same with the slow mow bullet time - only cliche because literally every movie ripped off the matrix afterwards
Camden Peterson
This is psyops bullshit.

I remember leaving the theatre after that first Matrix movie and being fucking amazed. I was 16 at the time, in high school and it just fucking took my breath away and when I went to school the next day I told literally everyone that they had to see it.
God, I remember Charlies Angels, that movie was so trite.
Oliver Reyes
>We will never have another movie like that. What are you talking about? There's two other movies like that
>tfw boomer They marketed this so well. The real world reveal was completely concealed so when it happened it was awesome. Also the bullet time and action stuff was kept out of most of the trailers, all you really knew was it was about computers taking over. Also, people forget it was a sleeper hit, so you really were going in not knowing much Internet has killed that kind of thing
Ian Foster
I could swear I have just the Matrix and Animatrix on Blu-ray. Maybe I bought them seperately
Jason Adams
When I was a kid I loved dinosaurs. Went to actual dinosaur excavation site and everything. My dad takes me to a movie, didn't tell me what it was about. Jurassic Park. Was so awesome.
I remember watching the Matrix for the first time. It was definitely a unique experience.
James Harris
For me, it was arguing with my buds over whether or not it was actually wrong to give another man's wife a foot massage after seeing Pulp Fiction
I'm old enough to have gone to Jurassic Park when it came out. That was a similar wtf moment. Before JP monsters in film were usually either a man in a rubber suit or some Ray Harryhausen stop motion thing. Suddenly it was holy fuck that's like a real actual dinosaur in the movie and its not a model or a cartoon it looks real. Watch it now and the cgi is nasty, but it didn't feel that way at the time
I know this exact feeling. As insane as it sounds you literally felt like there were actual fucking Dinosaurs out there somewhere in the world. It was easily one of the most confusing things I've ever gone through.
Nicholas Rivera
Same here, OP. I've never seen so many people completely blown away by a film before.
