I think that probably depends on how much of a Matrix and/or Keanu fan you are.

Hmm.. 🤔

David Mitchell, a co-writer for the film, says...

"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."

Huge Force Awakens vibes off of that. And that isn't good.

It's like poetry. It rhymes.

Matrix was never good.

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

It has revolutionized movies and cyberpunk and made you pregnant.

Patient_Leech should be paying you alimony.

Haha, wtf. 😂

But yes. Like it or not, it did have a huge impact on films since. Even sparked what was possible with all these superhero movies.

Even if you SOMEHOW choose to ignore the whole Matrix concept, it still gave us the bullet-time slow motion.

John Woo did that.

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

Did he, though? Because I've never heard of him being credited.

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.

Even if he did, it's Matrix that has popularized it.

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.
