O.K. let's set the scene.
It's 1999 and I'm watching TV when I first see the trailer for the Matrix. There was absolulety nothing like it before and no warning whatsoever that it was coming. I remember sitting there for minutes after I had seen the trailer, convinced that I could not wait to see the film and with the words ringing in my ears "no one can be told what the Matrix is... you have to see for yourself."
Now fast forward to the film and Neo has taken the red pill but we still don't know what the matrix is. Then he wakes up from his pod and looks to his left and sees others in their pods and then looks around, up and down and we see that all of mankind are also in such pods.
I remember thinking that was the most scariest depiction of the future that I have ever seen.
But that would be for me the best 10 seconds of the Matrix trilogy.
I see Korri is as jealous as ever...anywho, i picked when Neo and Smith were in the crater...just because, of all the scenes, i think it had the most conflict, the most juxtaposition, the most drama, of all the others. Also, when trinity was falling, it kinda made me go WTF!!! when the Agent was getting shot but he wasn't acting like he was hit at all...
Though its not my favorite ten seconds, this is one of my favorite moments in the trilogy when one of vampires ( i dont think they called him any certain name) swung the sword at neo and he stopped it with his hand, the vamp's like what the??? and merv's face is classic then the ensuing kick into the statue...and the words..."you see, he's just a man" I love that part...
