Get this: what if all we know as reality was, in fact, virtual reality? Reality itself is a ravaged dystopia run by technocrat Artificial Intelligence where humankind vegetates in billions of gloop-filled tanks - mere battery packs for the machineworld - being fed this late '90s VR (known as The Matrix - you with us here?) through an ugly great cable stuck in the back of our heads. And what if there was a group of …

The Matrix completely changed the landscape of special effects, world-building, and cinematography, cementing itself in the halls of cinema glory as one of the most innovative films of all time. I remember watching this movie for the first time as a 9-year-old and having my mind blown wide open! After rewatching it almost 25 years later, this movie is still a groundbreaking and breathtaking masterpiece. It’s hard to …

Stylish with a great concept. The concept of the movie - a dystopian world where AI has taken over and subjected humans to their machinations is a more timely note than ever. The premise of a matrix is quite fascinating and also well thought out. The execution combined sharp choreography with spectacle. The action was captivating and stylish. My only complaint is that some of the fight scenes seemed a bit cartoonish …

You had me the moment you stopped Trinity in mod air, spun the camera around her, and then let her deliver that vicious kick. And that was at the start of the film. That was the best opening ever. That was, when it was 1999 and you saw it in the theater for the first time, the "WOW" moment that you can only assume is what the people who were old enough to see A New Hope felt in the theaters back in 1977. From the …

"Thomas Anderson" is a nerdy boy by day, and an enigmatic hacker "Neo" by night. His latter persona is constantly challenging his norms, his behaviour, his reality even - and when he is contacted by Carrie-Anne Moss "Trinity" his suspicions begin to pan out and he is introduced to a crew of rebels led by "Morpheus" (Laurence Fishburne) on a mission to expose the extent to which mankind is merely a plaything of the …
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 211 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 9, 2026. Method
Critics, per Wikipedia
The Matrix grossed $27.8 million during its opening weekend, as well as earning $37.4 million in its first five days. It surpassed Lost in Space and Indecent Proposal simultaneously for having the biggest April and Easter opening weekends. The film also had the second-highest opening weekend for a spring starter film, trailing only behind Liar Liar. Three years later in 2002, The Matrix's records for having the largest April and Easter opening weekends would be taken by The Scorpion King and Panic Room respectively. Upon its opening, it had the highest opening weekend of any 1999 film until that point, easily topping Payback. Additionally, this was the biggest opening weekend for a Keanu…

60 of 250 · most liked firstYou'd think they'd want to discuss how it won as many awards as The Matrix, ET, Fellowship of the Ring, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Parasite... How it has the most wins of any Vampire movie ever... How its success further cements that Coogler's deal could be Hollywood's future. But alas. It's Black.

neutral · AI labelView post →i rewatched The Matrix trilogy recently and could not help but laugh when i saw each movie had a different production logo. they were all released within four years, with the second and third movie released in the same year!
neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking back to when the Matrix came out and I saw it in theaters 3 times in 5 days. Wonder if there'll ever be a movie that makes me do that again.

neutral · AI labelView post →I rewatched The Matrix last night, still such a good film
positive · AI labelView post →Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on
neutral · AI labelView post →Decided, for some reason, I wanted to watch "The Matrix". Went to the usual spots and saw it's no longer available for streaming in a lot of places. Not like that will stop me, but I mean... that people can't immediately pull up a 27-year old movie online for free is just... silly, y'know?
neutral · AI labelView post →This isn’t The Matrix,” Goldberg told NBC’s Kristen Welker on Sunday’s Meet the Press, referring to the classic science fiction movie about humans unknowingly living in a simulated reality. “Phone numbers don’t just get sucked into other phones.
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw someone say Gen Xers are more authentic because the “top movies” of 1999 were The Matrix and Fight Club as opposed to Barbie and, my brother in Christ, Fight Club was a flop, the top movie of 1999 was Star Wars

positive · AI labelView post →A couple people in the comments being extremely fucking weird pointing out that The Matrix came out in 1999. I dare you to name a movie that had a greater impact on film and pop culture for the ensuing decade. Go ahead.
neutral · AI labelView post →I would argue that the Matrix is THE movie of the early aughts; it is responsible for an enormous wave of trends in fashion, tech, editing, music, design, etc that basically didn’t peter out til like 2012
positive · AI labelView post →It’s a small thing but it makes me really mad that the central metaphor of The Matrix movies, a film series by a pair of trans women that is extremely literally about becoming woke, got co-opted by a bunch of dirt-stupid bigots to mean “became racist”

neutral · AI labelView post →The first R-rated movie I saw of my own volition was The Matrix, which is a pretty mild R to begin with. The first R movie I saw in theaters was WANTED, which was very stupid but also pleasingly gory.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm guessing the cascade of green text is a reference to AI, inspired by The Matrix a film made by two trans sisters about how AI is evil.

neutral · AI labelView post →There's a big crossover area. Fight Club is a Gen X movie while The Matrix is a crossover Xennial movie but 10 Things I Hate About You is a Millennial movie. All three came out in 1999.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Wachowskis: In our movie the Matrix, we invented the Matrix as a cautionary tale about the tenuous nature of self-determination and our thoughts on organized relgiou and the idea of "the choosen one" motif Musk: clearly this is about why all trans people should be killed

neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching "The Matrix Resurrections" Honestly, one of the best legacy sequels, in large part because it uses its nostalgia with purpose. It offers an expansion and reclamation of the original film, a work in conversation with not just "The Matrix", but its cultural legacy.
positive · AI labelView post →It's The Matrix week in my class, one big takeaway: only 2 of 18 had seen the film before, but everyone else knew it through memes & vague references to "living in the matrix". Memification of the film's central moments kinda trivialized them, they were watching through the lens of memes.
neutral · AI labelView post →The rightwing manosphere commandeering all of their lingo from The Matrix is truly ironic-- that film is about breaking free from what the world expects you to be. Don't live by those expectations, it's all corporately manufactured bullshit.

neutral · AI labelView post →'Enter the Matrix' released on this day in 2003. Developed with heavy involvement by The Wachowskis, who went so far as to film scenes for the game during production of 'The Matrix Reloaded.' Highly ambitious narratively, but seemingly unfinished / quite glitchy. (Fitting, I suppose?)

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't know about literary genres, but the Matrix did meaningfully reinvent the Hollywood action movie as a genre. All subsequent action has been cinematographically downstream of that film.
