The Matrix
Continuing on my binge of older movies, I just finished the first of The Matrix trilogy, and I am suprised at how well it holds up.
I remember when this one first came out. My wife an I watched a *lot* of movies back then. We had gone to a packed cinema on a Friday or Saturday evening and took her brother and parents with us. The showing was nearly sold out, and we wound up with crappy seats (way too close and way too off from the center of the screen) for a movie none of us had actually heard of. And then the lights went down and the movie started, and all the complaining about being too crowded and crappy seats suddenly stopped.
As I mentioned, the original held up extremely well. I did not like the second film in the series, and always felt like Revolutions would have been much better if Reloaded had never happened, so I don't know whether to skip Reloaded and go straight to The Animatrix or not.
