Its amazing how much of an impact a movie has on filmmaking. The Matrix was a movie that blew peoples minds at the time because it was doing things that others movie weren't doing at the time with things like bullet time, the anime'esque fighting, and its pretentious philosophical plot that was fine but got convoluted as the series went on. Either which way, this is a movie that looking back on it now is still a fun and good movie to watch.
