Rating: 🏆 most excellent
Computer hacker Neo is presented with a choice; take the blue pill and live in ignorance, or take the red pill and find out the truth about the matrix.
This movie came out over 20 years ago and now I feel old! My movie theater did a special anniversary screening in the dolby theater today and I am not upset that I went. This movie still holds up. The special effects, sound effects, editing and cinematography were revolutionary in their time and they still look and sound incredible today. In 1999 The Matrix won 4 Academy awards for sound effects editing, best sound, best film editing, and visual effects. Even more impressive to me than the technical accomplishments of this film is how iconic this film has become.The unique fighting style, ultra bad*ss black trench coats, and little sunglasses will forever be synonymous with The Matrix. Keanu Reeves is having a hell of a year, but let’s not forget arguably his best role ever. His name isn’t Mr. Anderson, it’s Neo!
