This scene aged better than I thought

[ChucksGlassJaw]

Love the nod to Sergio Leone in the beginning. The lack of cgi helped this scene age better than I would have assumed.

I bet I could do this stuff on you.

Promise?

Promise?

Boy, you nasty.

Hold up?

Man that's what I said about this scene:

Boy, you nasty.

I've never had a thing for dudes, but I'm always up to try new things.

Hold up?

Man that's what I said about this scene:

Looks like a Ronda Rousey audition tape.

The Matrix has aged incredibly well for a 20 year old movie that relied heavily on special effects. Ironically the only things in the movie that look really dated are the phones (the cell phones and the number of pay phones).

Dude.

You can't leave us hanging like that.

I spotted a fucking operational payphone the other day for what feels like the first time in a decade. I had to do a double take.

This film was definitely one of the best first viewings I have ever seen.

I went in knowing nothing of what the film was about, and was BLOWN AWAY.

Every second of it was awesome.

Do you ever commute?

I see them all the time at train stations.

The film is about a created reality. It literally can't be dated, at least not until we surpass the technology of Zion.

I barely leave my neighborhood.

Looks like a Ronda Rousey audition tape.

Or a lead in for a porno scene.

So maybe you're right!

Same here, and i miss that feeling of not knowing much about a film before i see it.

It's damn near impossible to do that these days.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

I can't watch the first two anymore, the effects haven't aged well overall

Never saw the final one. Seeing the second one convinced me they got lucky with the first.

I completely disagree. The first used a ton of practical effects that have aged really well. The second, not so much. Although the fight scene with the Merovignian wasn't topped until The Raid.
