"I saw the film in Berlin in September. It's really good. I cannot tell you what this film is about, but I could explain what it is not. It's certainly not yet one more sequel, but something autonomous that contains however the three "Matrix" [movies] that preceded [it] in a really ingenious way. It's a very beautiful and weird creation. It also achieves a couple of things that we do not see in action films, meaning it subverts the rules of blockbusters."
Totally stoked for this the first is one of my favorite movies of all time

I can't even get through the first a second time, too bored.

Matrix was a poor man's Tron and generic apocolypic dystopia mis-mash.

I don't have time to read 3 different articles at the moment. Did John Woo invent bullet time before The Matrix or not? There must be video evidence if he did.
iirc, John Woo was the first to really do the whole "slo mo gun battle" thing, and the Matrix itself was influenced by his techniques. The actual "bunch of cameras used to make a slo mo thing we now call bullet time" was first done by the Matrix.
