A few glitches (some dated VFX, a cheesy romantic arc), but nothing major to make me not want to take the blue pill and escape my reality for a couple hours. The simple premise is juicy steak-scrumptious (see the breathtaking first wake-up scene), and the script walks with sunglasses-cool perfection the line between fun action movie and philosophical sci-fi laced with emotion (see pre-rescue: “[He] believes in something.. I understand that now.. because I believe I can bring him back”).

I watched this recently for the first time in years. Couldn’t believe how well it stands up. Excellent film. Haven’t gotten around to re-visiting the sequels yet.

I still love the matrix. The fight scenes are epic but damn this movie still boggles the mind.
I still remember seeing this movie as a kid and having to explain the plot to my dad. He couldn’t figure out why people had the ability to dodge bullets and run up walls.

I liked the “out of the box” thinking element. The computer system was trying to keep Neo inside.
