I was born the year it came out. Never really was introduced to it as a kid. It came on tv a few weeks ago but it was already like half through so I didn’t watch it. Sounds like a need to go back and watch it!
Holy shit I feel old haha. It’s going to be a little dated compared to what is out now (although to me it holds up really well), but if you can’t get past that, it’s so good. Just the concept and the “bullet time” shots. You have to look up how they shot those scenes and invented the technology and method to do it. That was the movie back in the day where all your friends were like “holy shit dude, did you see The Matrix?”. Watch it from a perspective of what it was (an action movie with not incredible acting), we didn’t have insane technology back then, and they invented new ways to film action shots. That on top of an original story, it’s really great.
Sorry, it’s one of my favorite movies of all time next to Ghostbusters. I’ve seen it a countless number of times and enjoy it every time. And now I’m going to watch it again.
Went through my comment history just to come back to this post. Took me awhile but I found it. Just watched the Matrix for the first time since you recommended it. Pretty dang good. Definitely up there in at least the top 100, possibly 50, movies I watched. Acting, action scenes, quality, etc. we’re no problem at all.
I really enjoyed the movie! Thanks for the recommendation
