Review of The Matrix (1999) by Kman5473 — 10 May 2018
It's been nearly 20 years since The Matrix originally premiered, and it's tapping in and understanding of digital technology and culture from 1999 has aged so well. Though there are some sequences that look just a bit dated with the use of earlier CGI, this film still holds its own because the emphasis for SVFX at the time this was made was put on practical effects and NOT CGI.
The final, climactic third act looks absolutely stunning still! This is a very layered story and world, and each time I have watched it I've gotten more and more out of it. There's a perfect relationship between the themes of fate and destiny + the existence of free will; Neo does not become, "The One," until HE chooses to do remarkable things in desperate times.
He does not become, "The One," until Trinity chooses to express her love for him. He does not become, "The One" until he chooses to believe in himself.
