This movie is so advanced for it's time, and still holds up, with so many iconic scenes. And Neo is easily one of Keanu Reeves' greatest roles.

I love the irony of comments such as "its like Inception" "its like Stranger Things" "its like Hunger Games", when in reality all of these movies and series will have 100% taken from The Matrix. A truly iconic movie.

Trinity's, "Dodge this" line will always be the most badass line in cinema history. I absolutely love how quick the interaction is, between her saying and doing it. Soooo good.

11:37 Fry: Wait a minute is that blimp accurate? Leela: Yup, it's December 31st 2999. Fry: My God... A million years!

I was lucky enough to watch this in the theaters back in 1999. To say it was mindblowing would be a _severe_ understatement.

Many of the concepts brought forward in this movie were not as commonplace as they are today. In 1999 most people barely had a working computer in their home, mobile phones were extremely simple, the internet was in it's infancy - it was quite the spectacle, ground breaking and set the standard in hollywood for years. The biggest thing for this movie was that no-one had any idea what it was about beforehand because it was never discussed. They just showed cool shots on the trailers. It was a real mind blower.

It's so hard to appreciate now just how groundbreaking this movie was. It changed the way action is shot

Fun fact about the helicoptor crash making the glass in the building ripple before it shattered: the movie did that as a stylistic choice but years after the Matrix came out and as super slow motion cameras developed, they found out that glass will actually ripple just like that before it shatters from an impact, the ripple just happens in a fraction of a second before the glass actually shatters.

Okay, that whole “thousand years from now” bit had me rolling 😂

"Finally Watching The Matrix And Now I Want To Learn How To Flip and Kick" that's the same thing Keanu thought. He started doing martial arts after this movie.

The fun part is the next time you watch The Fellowship of the Ring, all you'll be able to hear is "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson." 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂

It was years before somebody pointed out to me that Neo is an anagram for One, so his name is a reference to him being “The One”… I felt so silly not knowing that, so I thought I’d tell you, so you could… Dodged that bullet lol

Morpheus: She is beginning to believe!

25 years ago. Super-monumental. The Wachowskis' 3rd film following Assassins (1995) & Bound (1996). Blending together all the things that nobody would think could be done in a movie, all at the same time. Obviously it's a established universe before we know it's origins. But the ideas of reality, science and philosophy metaphorically define what it means to live in it. It's made in a way that's not too complicated to understand it, yet it does trigger some kind of need to study. Among Keanu Reeves' most iconic films out of the 1990s. Veteran actor Laurence Fishburne (no longer Larry) as Morpheus is like the best mentor. Carrie-Anne Moss was a model turned actress and mostly known for tv, as Trinity she totally shined as the next new action heroine. Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith is one of the best villains ever. Everything that went into this movie is unprecedented. One-liners, constant jewels of knowledge, action sequences, wardrobe, special effects and all are part of the cultural vocab (Free Your Mind, Dodge This, What Is The Matrix?, Whoa!, etc). For 1999, it won 4 Oscars out of many awards, had the highest opening weekend, the highest grossing Rated-R film and the first DVD to sell more than a million copies. If your going further down the rabbit hole, watch The AniMATRIX (anime short films) first and then The 2003 sequels.

Ever since I watched this in 3rd grade (millennials were bred different) Trinity was always the absolute best example of a "strong female lead" just like Ripley or Sarah Connor.

The Matrix is so good i took a Philosophy class in Community college one summer and the whole course used Philosophies from this movie lol the Professor even wrote his own textbook based off the Matrix you can buy

I got blown away by this movie when it was released! Winner of 4 Oscars Best Visual Effects Best Sound Editing Best Sound Mixing Best Film Editing.

oh please PLEASE watch whole trilogy I BEG there's so little reactions on 2nd and 3rd movies and i would love one exactly from youuu

I don't know why people think tan lines are bad I think they look great

"The Biblical references! I'm rollin' with them!" Ahhhh, Angelina.... The entire movie is a Biblical reference. This is a Messiah story. The guy who comes in from the outside to save the people from The System. The Woman in the Red Dress scene is the message meant for the Messiah: You're going in to save these people from The System, but they are so dependent on The System that they will kill you for trying.

If you do dive into the Matrix, please do not exclude the Animatrix!!! (probably best watched after the 3rd movie)

I highly HIGHLY recommend watching the rest of the trilogy. Matrix Revolutions (aka Matrix 3) is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s so freaking good

I'm so glad you mentioned the Red Pill story at the beginning, otherwise I would've been triggered and possibly start shaking my fist the the monitor. Also, Vander showing up at the end and glare are you whilst thinking "I don't like the first John Wick movie due to the treatment of that puppy, you heartless wench." was very cute.

A little note about the filming they filmed the matrix and matrix reloaded in Sydney. I still remember them shutting down part of the freeway for a certain chase scene and part of the city for that very helicopter scene

Lots of people like to write off Trinity's kiss at the end as a "true love's kiss" trope, but I always like to look at it simply as a strong reminder to Neo in the Matrix that he isn't actually dead, he still exists in the outside world and that if he chooses to, he can just get back up. It's what finally breaks the last bit of doubt and reservation he had and awakens him to seeing the Matrix for what it really is, a computer program that can be manipulated.

Lets see how deep this rabbit hole goes!

24:26 When Trinity says, "No, Neo, that's not true. It can't be true." And Neo asks, "Why?" Trinity doesn't answer him. This is possibly a clue that the Oracle had told Trinity in the past that whoever she falls in love with will be "The One." But she doesn't tell Neo this because, perhaps, she feels its awkward and strange to just tell Neo that she's in love with him, and that the Oracle had prophesied that whoever she falls in love with will be "The One." Trinity not answering Neo clues in the audience without telling them directly, that Neo is "The One." Great storytelling always utilizes subtext, and this movie does a great job at that!

I love how Morpheus says "This line is tapped, so I must be brief. YOU ARE THE ONE, NEO!" The agents listening were probably "Well...that was easy..."

9:56 the COOLEST movie sound effect EVER!!! More than the lightsaber, Tie fighters and blaster, more than EVERYTHING! I love that sound!

Nice! Don’t miss out on The Animatrix (2003)! So good!

I loved this movie franchise (except for the new Matrix movie), especially "the Animatrix"

Ah, The Matrix. A clut classic that initiated a paradigm shift into the action film genre. An awesome movie to this day! And if you want to put yourself into a video game, maybe Tron is the movie for you. Or Ready Player One if you want to watch something more modern. :)

My laptop crashed 5 times in a row while trying to watch this video, in a different way each time. One page fault in a non-paged area BSOD, one driver crash and forced shutdown to restart, one manual restart to try to get my network to connect again, one graphics freeze and subsequent crash, and one power source change fault. Everything appears to be working for now, so maybe I can finally get past the first 5 seconds :) By the way, if you don't address it in your reaction, I would definitely watch your reaction to the sequels, especially the second and third ones. I like those two even more than the first one, and the first one is already amazing. The fourth one is also good, but not as good as the rest, and I haven't rewatched it since my first watch so I don't remember as much of it.

Been rewatching bits and pieces of this movie of late. Stoked you reacted to it! Practically a first viewing. Biblical references are legit.

Awesome video Angelina! It's always refreshing to see someone watch a classic that was from back when I was a kid! It was awesome to see you enjoy it so much!

Not only is Hugo Weaving in the MCU, but his first appearance in Captain America is shot-for-shot taken from the Matrix

Had the good fortune of catching this on tv as a kid. It looked like magic back then and it still does now, glad stuff like this still holds up today

This was a blast to see in the theatres in 99. I was 11. This is my favourite film of the series, followed by the most recent one. In some ways the finale is the most beautiful, but I saw the first 3 in theatre and liked them all. #4 really tied them all together though and explained the meaning beyond the meaning.

What an amazing movie! Timeless.

This is a video I didn't know I needed today. As a fan of "The Matrix" I'm excited to see how much this blows your mind if it does

This movie had such a cultral impact when it first came out and it still does to this day. The fashion, the effects, the ideas it explores, the iconic scenes. Didn't really need the sequels but thats about the only complaint I really have.

The 2nd and 3rd films are actually pretty good and enjoyable. The 4th film was just… weird imo, but I heard a lot more people saying they didn’t really like the 4th one either. And storywise, you can be fine not watching the 4th one. The 3rd film didn’t really leave it that opened for it.

Oh My Gosh! I can’t wait for this reaction!

Yes I here for a new video also new to your channel and you have pretty much been what I’ve been watching for like a week ford you through Movies in depth/Billy binges

This movie released into theaters in 1999 just a month or two before Star Wars Episode 1, and i remember walking out of my first viewing opening weekend wondering (as a huge SW geek) how the hell Episode 1 was gonna hold a candle to this mind blowing experience. Answer: it didnt...not even close. It even tried to do the whole "chosen one, prophesied hero" bit...but embarrassingly weaker than what The Matrix had done. Its something that has forever been etched into my memory of that period in my young life

21:00 To go from seeing Keanu in this be terrible with a gun to John Wick is pretty hilarious.

Angelina Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎

Legend has it that Keanu had to film the Red Pill scene dozens of times, and has never had a cold since.

Much like Harry Potter, while there is The One... there never was just one of them. Granted, Agent Smith is no Neville Longbottom, but both were needed so that their counterparts could fulfill the overarching destiny.

The explanation is that Trinity was told she would love The One, and she knows she's in love. No one can tell her she's in love. She just knows it, through and through. She knows it so much, that even the supposed death of the man she loves is not enough to dissuade her from believing he's The One, and therefore not dead. The explanation is that love conquers all, even death. It's ROMANTIC!

"Baby Keanu!" ... -_- I think it's time to watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

Classic! Now the reaction to the other three films

Loved you watching the Matrix! ♥️ Glad to know your channel :D Matrix is one of my favorite movies/franchises of all my life. Matrix Reloaded is my favorite, the Wachowski sisters made continuations where they expanded the movie in all the ways - explored more that world, that story, the philosophy in it, the action scenes, the characters, all of it. I really suggest watching the sequels you can get a lot of cool moments from it. (And Animatrix too, a collection of animations in Matrix universe, one of THE BEST things from the franchise c: )

Yes! Another one of my favorite movies.

When this came out back in 1999, people were absolutely mental about it. Movie was many years ahead of its time.

If you want to see "Baby-Keanu" you have to watch the Bill&Ted movies. They are all great (yes, even part 3 is cool, shut up, you in the back there...)

I love your reaction videos 🥰

Awesome reaction of my favorite The Matrix movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

The Matrix is the best action film and the sound track sure is exhilarating to the fight scenes so much.

Office Space and Fight Club next!

Obviously, Neo is a Disney princess - only true love’s first kiss could wake him up again 😂

One of the most perfect movies ever made, so good, so well executed, still holds up even 25 years later. I would highly recommend checking out the Animatrix if you decide to go forward with the sequels. It’s a series of nine shorts made by different Japanese animation houses, it’s a stunning collection of different perspectives on the world of The Matrix and one of them ties directly into the events of Reloaded. The sequels were kind of hated at the time, mainly because internet speculation and hype was impossible to live up to, but I always enjoyed them for what they are and think they are worth seeing. Check them out and see for yourself.

"Where we go from here is a choice I leave to you." The perfect last line of a movie that completely eliminates the need for a sequel, right? ...Right?

Yeah, Angelina. This is the film that revolutionized the industry forever that defines the use of CGI and VFX. It also brings out the dilemma of how we’re getting used to technology in such a way that now, we can’t imagine living our lives without it except for those who lived before us. The scene where Cyber actually admitting to the team that he wants to return being trapped in that prison because to him, at least he won’t be in a world where it’s a literal hell reminds me of a TV show called Continuum where future terrorists traveled to the past to enact their movement to secure their legacy. In one episode, there was this girl who recently joined the revolution that was telling one of the members how we need to open our eyes to the truth and he said the one thing that I still remember to this day and I quote, “But some prefer to sleep.” This statement shows how easy it is for us to believe in a lie because we get swayed to the pleasures and materials of this world that when we’re told otherwise, we reject it because it’s hard, if not, impossible to accept it. With that being said, we must be very careful of what we see and hear since not every thing is as it seems.

Loved your reaction as always. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing

So ahead of its time brilliant film

The Oracle told Neo that he COULD be the One, but it was like he was waiting for something, and that either he or Morpheus would die. His Death/Trinity's confession is what he was waiting for, so he could be reborn as the One. You were right about the biblical imagery, and Neo's death and resurrection as the One is part of that.

Well, yes, “just because he’s The One,” but that entails much more than it can come anywhere near properly summarizing. Enjoy the very scenic ride getting there! 😄

_Imagine... inserting yourself into a video game!"_ Um, ever heard of a little 1982 film called "Tron"?! lol

I love all the details in this movie.. Neo being an anagram for One. The Oracle saying that he's waiting for something, and that perhaps he would become the one in a following life.. only for him to get shot, die, and come back.. a following life.. and perhaps the very best joke in this is that the Oracle gives him a cookie.. in a computer simulation.. Stuff like that makes me chuckle

Man I feel so old. Because you're reactions were the very same as my reactions only they took place over twenty years ago, when I first watched this movie at release.

You're so fun! I don't know if you're into anime at all but I'd like to see you react to The Apothecary Diaries.

Everything was well explained in the movie, it's just a matter of paying more attention to the movie and less to the camera next to the movie. Some people miss some stuff when watching for the first time, but everything makes sense when watching a second time because the "cryptic" sentences are about later events that you already watched and know about, like the Oracle saying that Neo is not The One but "maybe in the next life", and how Morpheus knew how to help Neo escape the Agents at his office because he was watching the Matrix code from the outside.

Ange's computer: Throw me out and run away. Checkmate.

Probably been said but my favourite matrix Easter egg is in the "woman in the red dress" program, all of the background characters are twins. It gives the impression of the programmer reusing assets

I wouldn't mind if you did the other three. They are fun to watch first time.

We lost our minds when this movie came out in 1999. The soundtrack, the style, the dialogue, everything was so cool. This movie made people question everything along with our own existence. Is this real or is this just a dream?

I love this movie. Never watched the others but it’s a perfect stand alone

I thought it was pretty funny when the creators went up to the stage for winning an award for this movie and said “Im glad everyone understood this movie” 😂

Best way to remember which pill is taken is Cyphers iconic delivery of the line: "Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill?"

Love this film

The Matrix was insane in theaters when it first came out. I remember my father who watched it with me said it was the first movie that made him sweat sitting still. Drinking game for the self-destructive: Take a sip each time Ange says "literally" extraneously.

The “why” isn’t revealed until the last movie. It’s contentious, but it’s not unprecedented in other franchise lore…

Yes Finally My Favorite movie ❤❤❤

I hope you do the Matrix Reloaded, and Revolution

11:36 angelina thinking it was 1000 years is so good haha

My favourite thing about this story is that it it challenges the heroic arc. The story in the Heroic Arc is that the mentor always dies. In Star Wars, that's Obi-Wan Kenobi, for example, the mentor figure dies so the hero can rise. So if the Matrix was following the Heroic Arc, Morpheus would die. But what's really interesting is that he doesn't. He attempts to make the sacrifice, and Neo says no, goes back into the system and saves him. That's fascinating to me.

This movie was actually better than I thought it would be. Pleasant surprise, and I looove Keanu Reeves. Please please please react to "Treasure Planet" 2002 and "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" 2002. Both are AMAZING animated films, and so underrated.

None of the other live action movies are all that great, IMO, but I definitely recommend the animated prequel, The Animatrix.

"Up-Close Uncomfortable Things They Do" was the name of my band in college!

you've got to watch the other ones! most channels only watch the first

i vote for Keanu's next film watch to be 1991's Point Break with Patrick Swayze, Lori Petty, and the goat, Gary Busey

The whole Fight scene on 25:27 is Truly Iconic and Incredible, I wanna rewatch it Every Single Time😃

"Why are they all wearing the same shades?" Those agents are shady characters, aren't they. The Matrix definitely resembles Inception... and vice versa. The main difference is in the Matrix, they all share the same dream, because they are linked by computers. Everyone's experiences are stored on a computer, or group of computers, that act as the gameserver. Whereas, with Inception they share the same dream, because they are linked by rubber tubes filled with drugs. Their experiences are stored in a single person's brain, that acts as the gameserver. Inception is a great movie, but its mechanics kinda break down, if you think about it too much. It's basically the Matrix with drugs instead of computers. I am glad you finally got to this movie. It really impacted pop culture in a big way. It also is likely one of those films with an expiration date. There will come a time, when corded public phones will no longer make sense. It's also close to the point, where few remember the significance of phones, when it comes to computer communication and why they likely used phones to represent the entrance and exit to The Matrix. Still, the experience is pretty easy to understand. It's just close to the point, where it's not going to have the same significance for newlings, as it did for originians. Still, the idea of living in a simulation is a pretty appealing idea for a film concept. I am pretty pleased that you were able to view this as a new experience. Look forward to more previously uncovered but classic films.

New subscriber here, great reaction of one of my favorite movies, I've watched it hundreds of times. I suggest, after watching the trilogy of course, watch the Animatrix, a compilation of shortfilms that expand the universe of the Matrix. 6:24 smooth advertising here 😅

6:12 Great work!

My guess is that Neo felt Trinity's kiss from real world, while being in Matrix. Witch gave him feeling that Matrix is not real and he's not actually dead. Now his mind is powerful enough to understand that death in matrix doesn't mean death in reality

you're training for a marathon? you are even more perfect than i thought!

Angelina if you really love this series I highly recommend all the other movies the Wachowskis made because they are great (well mostly), especially the Sense8 Netflix show
