A friend brought me to it opening week, and I think I was only aware of it via a newspaper review and bus stop advertising. Bought the soundtrack the next day, hell yeah.

I won tickets for some sort of preview before release and almost couldn't convince my friend to come along, since the movie wasn't advertised anywhere and he didn't expect it to be any good. Movie ads weren't common in my country, but you would at least hear something and the Matrix just seemed completely off the grid. We were blown away and talking about it for two weeks, while nobody was even aware the movie existed. It was really weird.

It was the movie that made me pay attention to films. I went in knowing the special effects were dope, but so many of the most memorable shots were just a result of sticking the camera in an interesting place and lighting the scene well. It lead me to start understanding the power cinematography has.

The Matrix is cool because apart from all the philosophy and themes being presented in a really interesting way without losing a mass audience, it’s just a really killer sci-fi movie with a great script. Not a single scene is wasted and the whole movie is TWO HOURS long, the longest acceptable length for a blockbuster action film to be. Everybody making horrible four and a half hour comic book movies in our current times should revisit the Matrix’s script to see how you can accomplish everything you want without wasting everybody’s time.

the sequels aren't really bad either, theyre just self indulgent and a bit disappointing.

Yo so I stock shelves for work which sucks but the benefit is that I get to listen to music while I do it. To mix things up I like to rip the audio from my fav movies and usually I'll toss one of them on during the final leg of my shift to make things go by faster. All that info was just to explain that I was listening to The Matrix last night and I got to the scene where the UPS guy gives Neo the package with the phone that Morpheus calls him on and, maybe I'm just a slowpoke, but was the UPS guy actually Mouse?? I swear to god I heard his voice. It would make sense, what better way to get Neo an important item then to send one of your own guys up to get it to him?

I just rewatched the scene and while it's initially being cute and hiding his face you do clearly see him and it isn't Mouse.

I'm going to watch and love this movie even if it's bad. I have a soft spot for the sequels and I can never hate them even if I know they're not really all that good.

With Revolutions resulting in the machines wanting to be a little friendlier and more open with humans, along with stuff like Simulatte, I wonder if we'll see some weird sanitized friendly-corporation version of the Matrix here. I can't help but assume that all the gang returning are going to be programs, and maybe they'll be kind of confronting whether what was accomplished in the first trilogy was enough to really fix the problems. I'm super ready for it, can't believe it's coming so soon!

The first act is legendary too, it follows very typical hero's journey story beats but it's paced and directed to really maximize the intrigue and impact of Neo's awakening and then delivers on the promise of finding out what the Matrix is. Even the long rear end exposition scene where Fishburne just lays it all out for Keanu is some compelling poo poo because of all the tricks they use to keep it visually interesting.

Back then no one was really connected like we are these days - I pretty much went in knowing Keanu Reeves was in it and nothing else. It blew my loving mind - I was 17 and the movie just keeps ramping up. Once Neo is interrogated I knew poo poo was going nuts.

all I remember is that in the first film, Agent Smith calls Morpheus a "terrorist" way before it was a cool thing to do

I was 14, which was the exact perfect age to have your mind loving blown by the Matrix. I saw it with a group of friends and we were forced to sit in the very front row and it still owned so hard

Yup, I was 13 when I saw The Matrix. I remember talking with a couple of my friends saying how much it felt like a live-action anime—we had already been exposed to stuff like Ghost in the Shell and Akira at the time.

Matrix Reloaded was still decent. It tried to introduce a lot of different concepts in the genre and didn't get too bogged down in it other than that they were helpers or impediments on the next part of the hero's journey. Revolutions, on the other hand... It just threw too much into the mix. There certainly were other human stories to tell, but this spent too long on them. The better parts were learning more about the nature of the matrix, the world, and how people or machines understood the ecosystem (or did not).

I was 12 when it came out in the theater and that poo poo ruled. Me and my wife showed the first to our son recently, who's also 12, and he was still pretty impressed with it. It holds up pretty well. I'm also an unabashed sequel lover. I feel like they may have not been successful in what they were trying to do with the sequels but I still appreciate them for what they were trying to do.
