I saw this in the theater 3 times. I remember driving home after seeing it the first time. The theater was about 30 minutes from my dorm. In that 30 minutes I looked at the world around me differently. My mind was officially blown.
Felt like that! Exactly!
I remember the tagline "what is the matrix?" was so popular. Classmates like me were asking our mates who had seen the movie. We leaned in and asked them, "so..what IS the matrix?" And they turned all Morpheus-like and shook their head telling us, "you must see for yourself." It was so goddamn mysterious!
The Matrix was the movie vehicle for changing from VHS to DVD. I had a PlayStation 2 so it played DVDs. My friend and I rented the Matrix from Blockbuster and had a sleepover just to watch the matrix and finally understand. And then there was a storm and my house lost electricity 😞 we just lied on my bed, moping, staring at the ceiling doing nothing because we were so disappointed because we had to finally understand. At 11pm after 3 hrs of moping the electricity came back on. Normally we'd be too sleepy to start a movie then but, for the Matrix? Nope! We started that shit right away.
Forget sleep. We just watched with our mouths open, minds blown the whole time. And yes, we understood our classmates' shitty mysterious answers now. We had to see it for ourselves. Free your mind 💽
That was awesome of them not to spoil it for you
The visual effects of this movie never get old. The lobby fight is such a great scene. So iconic.
It never gets old but the entire movie was so good that it was nxt to impossible for the Wachowski's to even match let alone surpass it for the sequels or anything else.
IMHO they only got to make Matrix 4 because Keanu is having a huge post John Wick revival.
@@mnomadvfx I didn't like either of the sequels, esp the third.
Much like Starship Troopers or Event horizon :)
Defiantly one of the most stylistic massacres of innocents by a hero ever lol
Matrix 4 sucks although the fight with agent Smith was okay in 4th
"Dodge this" - still one of the most badass scenes imo.
The words were stupid though, she literally gave him time to dodge by stopping to deliver a cool quip.
@@mnomadvfx Lol true, but that applies to a lot of badass quips in action movies
@@neotheone04 If movie bad guys just stfu and killed the good guy without hesitation or any words, the movie industry would instantly implode.
@@mnomadvfx FunFact: In the german dubbed version of the Movie, she says: "Nur eine Maschine." (Only a Machine.)
@@vampire4312 That is a cool fact. And that is cooler too, as the Agent actually tells Neo just a moment before, "Only human." .... so the German version makes more sense.
I saw this in theaters on opening day with a friend from school. We went to the movies with the idea of just seeing whatever, and picked this knowing nothing about it other than the poster looked neat. We both were ranting to anyone that would listen to us at the lunch table the next day that they HAD to go see it. It's one of those movies that few people get to go into fully unaware of the plot but that benefits a lot from a first time unspoiled watch, and your reactions were a real pleasure. Thanks for sharing with us!
15:56 How brilliantly profound of Lia to realise the wider implications of human "programming" versus human nature - "tabula rasa" theory, and all of that. Though I can remember watching this film when it first came out, it still stands up as a terrific, thought-provoking movie.
Hmm... there was another mass school shooting in the US, 3 were killed and 6 were injured.
@@cashewnuttel9054 So what? That doesn't have anything to do with this video.
@@cashewnuttel9054 point?
@@cashewnuttel9054 what? Lol I think this may not be attached to the correct comment thread since this had no connection to that comment
I saw this film in theaters 22 years ago. What an amazing movie , a revolutionary technological thriller!
Same...shit blew my mind as it did for everyone else I suspect.
I was in L.A at the time. Lol kids down there were wearing in dark trench coats and shades I'm like "w the hell is going on 😁" then I saw the billboards and the tv commercials. "Ahhh". That make sense. !
Considering that I took the metaphorical red pill before there was even a reference to it over a couple of years before this movie came out, I was absolutely blown the fuck away by this movie when I first saw it in a theater in May of 1999. I had no expectations or knew what the movie was about going into the theater at that time.
I saw it a few years back in a theatre. It was a special re-run. Still holds up.
I also saw Alien and Terminator 2 that way. Threaters should really do more re-runs of some of the best movies.
Honestly im not intrested in 99% of new movies coming out but seeing one of the classics in a big screen i would go in a heartbeat.
for me personally, the most thought-provoking sci-fi movie i've seen. the themes depicted (AI, simulation theory, human behaviour) were all so ahead of its time.
So cute how they pronounce Matrix.
The way they pronounce it makes me very heeyappy.
The Mætricks.
Yeah. English has very few consistent rules governing the relationship between how words are spelt and how they're pronounced. Mostly 'cus it's a mongrel language that came from Latin, Greek, Germanic languages, Scandinavian languages, and the languages that were already there before the roman invasion, which are related to several very old european languages. It's a total mess. Deffo one of the least consistent, least logical languages in terms of the written word.
BUT, since people from all over the world speak it, people who speak it as an only language, have heard all the different pronunciations from people around the world, so it's all good.
English speakers are probably better at interpreting their language when it's imperfectly spoken, than are speakers of any other language, simply because they hear their language spoken as a second or third language, more than anyone else does.
Hell...many native speakers pronounce "matrix" that way, just because they've never heard the word, and that's a slightly more obvious way to pronounce it.
@@ashscott6068 native speakers like Yorkshiremen and Geordies can barely speak English let alone spell it write it or pronounce it lol
@@ashscott6068 also most of modern English comes from French or adaptions of French
It's just like the Oracle told him, he was waiting for his next life before becoming The One
"Unfortunately no one can be told what The Matrix is, you have to see it for yourself" -Morpheus
Are sith (and jedi) able to manipulate the matrix like neo? Is that why they have powers the rest of the galaxy doesn't? Are midiclorians hack programs that allow for admin rights on a server? So many questions.
This is a great theatre movie, just boom boom boom hits all its story beats perfectly.
Always loved The Oracle scene - she lays the heavy burdens on you then, "Have a cookie". Because we all know that fresh baked cookies make everything alright.
You've seen Reloaded?...more than a just biscuit.
I watched this in the cinema on my last day of high school, not even knowing what it was about. Blew me away!
48 minutes of Lia.. I can live with that 😄👌🏼
Simp 😂.
Watched 3 times in the theater, was and is still the most revolutionary movie I've seen. Was 18 then, now 43 and still LOVE everything about this movie. Carried a VHS copy everywhere I went, just in case someone hadn't seen it.
I remember getting out of the Cinema, and thinking differently after watching that movie... i mean, it is not a normal movie.. this is a warning, for what can possibly happen.. little bit like Terminator.
One must really watch this movie twice in a row, as you'll pick up so many little details the second time around.
"Can you hear it Mr. Anderson? Its the sound of inevitability.." Neo: Format C:\
I have it on good authority that the Matrix is written in Linux. Hence _Neo$ sudo rm -fdr /_
(I feel dirty just typing that.)
That said, today one would use _secure-delete_ but I don't think that command existed back in the day. _srm_ might have. This movie showed up about the time I was first learning Unix/Linux.
@@tarmaque After he left, its def format c:\..
In the top 3 of my favorite movies! Great reaction girls! 👏🏼 Greetings from Uruguay 💪🏼🇺🇾
Yes.. this goes really long time ago.
I remember that at the time, I was a young teenager and all my friends who used mIRC at the time, they all used nicknames from the movie.. "Morpheus" , "Neo", "Trinity"... all Goths started to use similar clothes, almost replicas of some costumes of the movie.. it was crazy. Good times.
Always nice to see a genuine reaction.
And ppl that genuinely seem to have no idea about this most famous of films
It'll take another 20-30 yrs to age well. It still feels to have been released recently.
Especially now that it's been mastered in 4K
Hope the wachowskis used the current technology for their stunts. Can't wait to see the new one.
You should watch the "Constantine "
After this movie you're gonna love Keanu Reeves more
“Stop trying to hit me, and hit me” is a direct quote from Bruce Lee.
I love the soundtrack from Rage on Behalf of the Machine.
I remember seeing this in the theaters and it was a classic 👍
I remember watching it on a lap top in 1999 back then lol people had connections back then who worked at the movies mostly gamers etc idk how they did it but they put the movie on a disc very clear pic lol
best ending soundtrack to a movie ever
Youre one of the very few people who made the connection right away that he stops the bullets at the end using the same logic as the spoon.. there is no spoon and there are no bullets.. its all in the mind. Very impressive.
Fun fact. Will Smith was offered the role before keanu Reeves. Will Smith turned it down because of how the film was pitched to him
Sean Connery was also offered the role of Morpheus but he turned it down because He didn't quite understand the radical descriptions given of the plot and he ultimately thought that his fanbase wouldn't appreciate it or embrace this new radical departure in his resume of Acting Roles... he did the same when offered the role of Gandalf for the Lord of the Rings films and said in later interviews that he regretted not taking the opportunity when presented or not having the foresight that he should've had with the cultural impact both film franchises were making... he tried to dip his toes a little with League of Extraordinary Gentleman but that only resulted in it being a cult classic years later instead of it being a critical or box office failure at that time...
Will Smith did Wild Wild West instead…😆
I think the fact that Will Smith’s career survived after that is a testament to how good Will Smith actually is!
@@realburglazofficial2613 yer 100%, but I’m not going to lie I enjoy Wild Wild West when I watch it 😂
@@starlord3496 it is incredibly silly! Will is golden in pretty much anything he does though!
@@realburglazofficial2613 it’s why I enjoy It 😂
I wish i could erase my memory to see it again. the reaction i had when neo wakes up from the pod...its incredible
You guys got this quicker than I did when I first saw it. I think my mind had a hard time understanding everything. I had to watch it twice & it just blew my mind. Great reaction
Viki has the greatest voice. She can put me to sleep so fast. This video is like melatonin for me.
“Your men are already dead.” That was when I knew I was watching a significant movie.
One of the most poignant and best movies of all time. Lia and Vicki are lovely, so authentic and joyful. This was a joy!
Great reaction girls. What will really blow your mind is that The Matrix is a Buddhist film. Getting out of the Matrix equates to the realisation of "emptiness" through meditation, and Neo becoming The One at the end equates to the realisation of your Buddha-nature and becoming an enlightened being. We all need to walk this path and wake up to our true nature.
Lia and Vicki are great together.
What a film! It is a really good experience watching you guys watch it for the first time!
Really enjoy watching with the two of you. Lia gets so engrossed in the movies and in this one Viki was fighting her sleepy eyes. Fun reaction.
Viki got that 90s chola look going. It’s working. Big hoop earrings, flannel, and those damn single braids.
10:22 and now you watch Inception.
Yeah, if we were walking through East LA & I saw her go by, I’d think she was a shot caller’s girl🤣
Yup wareing a penalton
Where are they from?
Initially the reason for the creation of The Matrix was to use human brains as processing power but because computers and all that were still in its infancy, the studio thought people wouldn’t get it so they changed it into using them as energy
They should've stuck with The Wachowskis reasoning.
@@FrancoisDressler Especially since the physics of using Humans as a power source doesn't work. We make terrible batteries, and you have to feed us, which takes more energy then you get back. I think the original idea was also that we were supposed to be able to process information in a way that they couldn't. It fits much better with that idea that the matrix was like this mental itch you couldn't scratch. Because some part of your mind was literally being controlled to do something else.
@@arik_dev Exactly
@@arik_dev we make a bad power source because we need to be fed? What? You mean like nearly everything we eat to get energy?
And remember, Morpheus did say that the dead were fed intravenously back to the living.... so that and add some basic synthetic vitamins and nutrients makes us pretty self sustaining I would think.
Also, a lot of people had a hard enough time wrapping their brain around the whole human battery concept... the studio made the right call imo if they wanted it to be a massive blockbuster understandable by the masses.... only geeks and nerds at that time would have been able to grasp everyone being hooked up and used as some sort of giant supercomputer.
I would have enjoyed it tho 😁👍👊
@@bigdaddy741098 That is not how Conservation of Energy works. Energy isn't created only converted between forms. You need energy to grow the food, and the energy gets embedded in the food as potential chemical energy, except the process is not 100% efficient. But even if you could somehow make it 100% efficient, you're only putting the same amount of energy into the humans that you get out. Less actually, FAR less, because humans do not make efficient batteries.
But that begs the question, where did you get the energy to grow the food in the first place? And, if you have a source of energy to grow food with, why bother with humans in the first place, you already have energy in that case! And the whole premise is that they DON'T have access to easy energy.
And as for the corpse thing, you probably eat hundreds if not thousands of times your weight in food in your lifetime. Most of that energy does not get stored in the body. It gets spent moving, thinking, making your heart pump, making your stomach digest, keeping your body temperature level. When you die, most of that energy you consumed is long gone, there's only a tiny bit of left in your body. There's not enough in your corpse to feed the next person/ You don't even need to know anything about biology, because it all comes back to conservation of energy.
And I already know because I've been a citizen off the internet for years that you're going to come back and say "that's not how physics works", and "you don't know what you're talking about", bla bla bla. But just save yourself the trouble and don't bother. I don't care. if you don't want to understand, I can't make you.
If you notice, heart o’ the city is the old patch that tank does for neo at the end…
I really loved your enthusiasm and wonder to this classic. Great job you two. 🔥🔥
They have now been baptized by the greatness of The Matrix 😎👌🏼
This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE - I watched it more than 10+ times in the theatre - It inspired me so much - Lia wants to take the "purple pill" - Color blue and red mixed together makes purple 😉💜
"Dodge This" the best line in the movie. love watching your reactioins ladies.kl
I'm soo excited to see you ladies on here.😊🙌❤
Great movie. You can check out Dark City 1998 the came out before (They actually took set from that movie for the Matrix) or the movie the 13th floor , movies with similar ideas . You can check up other great Keanu Reeves movies like Speed, Point Break, Constantine, The Devil Advocate.
indeed al great movies. haven't seen Point Break yet tho. but the others you called i saw like 30-40 times. especialy speed and Constantine..amazing movies
_Dark City_ is really underrated. They did indeed share some of the same sets. Particularly the rooftop sets..
The fact that shes smoking hot doesnt hurt either.
@@damonnoble8401 Who is smoking hot ?
@@totomomo18 lady in red i think
Every person sees the matrix for the first time at some point questions their reality haha it's my favorite movie in all the history of cinema
Loved your reaction!
The Agents can move into any human body because they are like the Firewall of the Matrix (program), when we are inside the matrix, we are just avatars of our real self, (we are actually in a cocoon like a battery and the program is keeping us satisfied in sleep.) the agents can tap into every avatar since they are part of the program and they can override our puppets and move in and out without us knowing/controlling it.
This movie came out in 1999, imagine that there was no other movie out with such effects and action.
Viki out of -space- this universe😍. I’m totally in love with viki but Lia is really beautiful, especially when she smiles. I love how calm she is.
Viki looks like a model.
16:50 i always thought that was a room for virtual reality between the real world and the matrix
Your girls faces when Neil was reborn 😂 that’s what I pay for good job 👍
Lia and Viki are a good combo. They enjoy movies pretty chill together. Thanks ladies.
Keanu Reeves was quoted, saying "The Matrix wasn't a movie, it was a documentary!" That is the TRUTH! People are going to find out about this, this year.
viki ❤️❤️ ..She got so excited her earing popped off
Saw it at the cinemas when it came out, I didn't get much of it the first time so I watched it again and knew more and so I watched it the third time at the cinemas. It is one of 4 movies that I have seen at the cinemas more then twice. The other three were Avatar, Iron Man and Free Guy.
You ladies picked the perfect time to watch and react to "The Matrix".
All that's left is to watch the sequels "The Matrix Reloaded" & "The Matrix Revolutions".
Once that's finished, you'll be caught up in time for the next & latest film coming out this month: "The Matrix Resurrections".
"A deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix..." Ope!
React to ' A few good men' next plz starring the legendary Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise.
I always love watching women's reactions to Trinity in the beginning. She's such a badass, and its great seeing women experience that in female characters.
But she isn't really a badass, she's just another person with the programs to exist outside of the matrix. Anyone therefore can have the same programs that Neo, or Morpheus or her received. It wasn't a learned skill set.
@@jeffburnham6611 that’s just the external it isn’t her decisions or her agency. Those are what defines her and her character. Her decisions to save, help, be kind and heroic are all parts of her character which make her badass the fact that she can do those things in the matrix due to the download of skill don’t factor into her choices both in the matrix and the real world.
Hey guys not to be critical just helping, the thumbnail image is actually from The Matrix Reloaded. Love the channel keep em coming
I wish could have that Feeling again , when i Saw it at Cinema ....
8:04 They are thinking, "Well, it appears that nightmares are on the menu tonight!"
The famous shot with Morpheus's hands holding the blue and red pill reflected in his glasses is VFX, it's not possible for the 2 lenses to reflect such separate images as that naturally so they superimposed the images onto his glasses in post production/compositing.
41:39
The matrix: Bullets package is requesting access. Y/N?
Neo: No.
Bullets: Can't reach the target.
One of my three all-time favorite movies.
I like the fact that neither one of you overthink what’s going on and simply react. Nice work.
40:24 It took me a long time to figure out that Smith got to the room first because he realized where Neo was going. That hotel is the same place the agents found Trinity at the beginning of the movie.
love the
"oooh öööööööhööööh
hm"
at 2:30. That's exactly my reaction at the movie
At the very end he flys
Keanu Reeves in Speed. Great movie to watch if you haven't seen it. Thanks for the reaction.
Yes the effect in this movie were ground breaking for sure. The first really good CGI happened in Jurassic Park in the early 90's and by The Matrix had progressed to this level. They still hold today. Great story as well and you two reacting are fun to watch.
Love this movie, love you both.
How many people understand the allusion to Alice in Wonderland - follow the white rabbit down the hole and choose between the blue pill and red pill, which takes you to wonderland.
I was living in sydney when they made this movie. My office was near some of the scene shooting. I walked past one shooting set on the street once just before lunch. They had a table of sandwiches for the cast and crew and Ive never seen so many sandwiches at once, not even in the army.
I love watching people's first time reaction to this movie.
Trust me, this movie is more complicated than u think
There's a ton of layers to this, and hints regarding them. For example, Neo's hiding spot for his illegal off-the-shelf hacking solutions is not coincidental. Also a whole layer on which this is a tale about the power of embracing your true self against arbitrary societal norms for LBGTQ+ people, made a bit more obvious by the fact that both Wachowskis transitioned not long after this was released.
There have been whole university-level philosophy courses built around this movie. In a lot of ways, it's the spiritual ancestor of "The Good Place", in that it managed to give people info on existential philosophies while still entertaining them.
You should read about Keanu. He is one of the nicest persons on the planet.
My favorite movie of all time. Nice reaction. Thanks.
You guys are hilarious. 😂😂😂
Great reaction. Thank you. 😊
Trinity has to say "everything the oracle told me has come true, everything but this" because it must happen! Neo must be the one! Because she loves him.
My matrix program has been glitching for the last 20 years.
There is a Matrix Animation that you have to check out that will explain what happen to the human populations, the animation is good.
"The Animatrix" is the title, I believe. It's a neat selection of varying animation styles in a series of short self-contained films, as well.
This movie came out when I was 18 and happened to have short black hair. You better believe I bought ALL the black leather I could afford.
Thing is now everybody knows what the matrix is. Back then, everyone discovered it in the theater ;)
this is such a cool film
Imagine seeing these visuals in 1999..
It was mind-blowing
The sound and audio of the movie keeps crashing. One minute I can hear it fine, and the next the movie is silent.
Follow the white rabbit. LOL. Now Viki has to get a white rabbit tattoo and then we'll see how many followers she gets.
"How can he do that," you ask. Do you believe? You're in a simulation and in a simulation anything is possible.
Great show.
finally the same schoolgirl reactions i had in school and loving the undercurrent love story that is the core to the other interesting stuff (which boys all stop at) the scifi and stunts... omg he's cute and oh god they're so cute together... i wanna be her ... all my reactions as a lil girl in cinemas watching it first time (i know i was young for the film but hey i had a mature taste lol).... love your reactions girls.
One of the best movies and two of the best reacters.
The Agents are self-aware computer programs, they can "possess" any person still plugged into the Matrix powerplant and world simulation...
All the real world scenes have a slight blue tint,
all the scenes inside the Matrix simulated Earth/world is tinted slightly green
The color grading (tinting) was amped in the recent 4K remaster for the UHD bluray, it's probably the master that they are watching.
Such a great movie. It's a shame that they never made any more.
Here's something may be for you to think about. From a spiritual perspective you are in the matrix. Buddhist and hiddhus practice a way to escape the material world and our ego's,to find enlightenment or the true nature of reality. This film is a metaphor for that idea. There are many religious references also like the holy Trinity , Morpheus (God associated with sleep) and Neo means new or is an anagram of one. Depends how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go 😁
Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb (H7358) I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Strong's H7358 rechem = womb, matrix
Great Part 1. Hope you watch part 2 and 3 soon.
You 2 are so cute !! I love the accents! Great reaction!
A couple of notes: originally the story had the humans wired up so their brains were part of the RAM in the AI's CPU, but Test Audiences didn't like it, so the plot was changed to draining the "extra" energy from people.
What did you think of the Oracle? Did you catch the Cookie she downloaded to Neo?
Technically, anyone could have been The One, Neo was just waiting for confirmation from someone else. And, theoretically, non-canonical, after Neo started with superpowers the Matrix could have reworked itself to become the MCU, in order to have it keep sense...
Can't wait until they find out how deep the rabbit hole goes.
I sometimes wonder if maybe the cookie the Oracle gave Neo is what MADE him The One, and she could have given that cookie to anyone.
Ooo. Deep.
@@tarmaque It makes sense. the machines needed The One to exist, just as much as the humans did. But only if you take the sequels into consideration. And I doubt the sequels were planned. So prolly not. But it would have been a way to inject some anomalous code into him.
@@ashscott6068 The whole "humans as batteries" nonsense was forced on the Watchowskis in the first place, so who knows? The original idea was that humans would be biological processors for the machines, but some producer somewhere thought us consumers couldn't understand that.
I can't wait till lia and Victoria watch the second and third movies ✌️❤️🙏😚
Hi from Lyon - France ^^ i think i'm really lucky to can watched the 3 matrix on the theater......It was unbelievebale !!! First time in my life i have see people at the end of the movie like lost in their mind , (me first ) , but i'll not go see the 4 .
I really think than for me there will have only 3 matrix......(like Indiana jones or star wars )
38:07 Thank you, Lia.
