That scene with Trinity and the police officers changed cinematography forever.

[@chaff5]

I can't believe they pioneered a technology that would get copied 1000x over and they some how got it all wrong in the 2nd and 3rd installments because they wanted to with CGI instead.

It is a masterclass of filmmaking. Even without the bullet time kick (a marvel at the time) - every shot is artwork. The economy of storytelling is top notch - you don't even realize how many truths of the 'Matrix' have been revealed in these first few minutes.

[@ZakEmber]

Carrie Anne Moss became the hottest woman on Earth for at least a year after this movie came out, and Trinity shot straight up into the stratosphere of "best female characters in movie history", right up with Princess Leia and Ellen Ripley because of The Matrix. This was a fantastic super hero origin film that crossed over with cyberpunk, kung fu action films, and there was a decent sci-fi story in there too about what it means to be human! She crushed this role, and this opener is one of THE BEST I've ever seen in 40+ years of movie watching. It hooks you right in, it gets you asking all the right questions, and in under five minutes, we love Trinity and can't wait to see her next scene.

[@FlavioArosemena]

“No Lieutenant, your men are already dead.” 😮

saw it on release in London one Sunday morning with a hangover. Had no idea what it what about, but only film on at 10am & had Fishburne so took a seat, strong latte in hand. It absolutely blew me away. hard to describe just how incredible that experience was. I had never seen anything like it. in my top 10 all time.

I think it is good to view this as though you have never seen it to realise what a great start this is. She defeats a room full of armed police using supernatural strength, agility, and their own weapons against them. And then runs scared from the Agents. Its a very clever way of showing h the Agents are increadibly dangerous without actualy showing you (other than the jump between buildings so you know they have powers like hers). She then disapears. Lots of exciting informatin but with no explanation/exposition

[@Game-The-System]

Fun fact: Screen adaptation by the Wachowski brothers who are from Chicago. As I recall, they injected at least couple of nods to the Windy City in the movie. We catch one here when Morpheus says that there is a phone at Wells and Lake, which is an intersection located in the Chicago loop.

[@Raven.flight]

an intersection located in the Chicago loop, that's obviously in Sydney, Australia :D

[@jv30311]

They also mentioned Wabash.

[@rednaughtstudios]

Having moved to Sydney and living there for 20 years now it’s amazing how nearly every outside shot is just “oh I know that place.”

Neo may have been the one, but Trinity was the scene chewer!

[@REE_III]

Will never forget going to the movies to see this when it was first released. Critics "initially" wrote bad reviews and I had no idea what it was about..a friend had recommended it. I was blown away by this scene and was instantly a Trinity fan!

[@rcb3921]

I do not remember anyone who appreciated sci-fi having anything negative to say about the first Matrix.

[@REE_III]

@@rcb3921 I remember the negative reviews distinctly. In 1999, most of us read movie reviews in the newspaper. You can still find several digital reviews on the internet criticizing it. Roger Ebert gave it 3/5 and said it was a "letdown." He was wrong!

[@ninjabearpress2574]

"No Lieutenant your men are already dead." Thank you agent Smith, you cold-coded s.o.b, for my favorite line in the movie.

[@paulrandig]

When I first had finished watching this movie, I had difficulties stepping down some simple stairs. My sense of movement and time perception was just overwhelmed by those effects noone had ever seen before. It took me about 15 minutes to reboot my perception of time and space.

[@chad8519]

As this movie ages, you'll find details that are quite profound. For me, its they way the agent climbs up the laddr and how he just immaculate goes into a sprint like a world class runner. It trulys drives the gravity of the threat how beyond superhuman these agents are.

[@MrHeavy466]

I wonder if Cipher was trying to get Trinity killed here in the beginning.

[@Thurgosh_OG]

No, he liked Trinity and was surprised that she took over the shift instead of whoever was assigned to take over from Cypher.

[@teencomment]

Man, imagine what the theater reaction was like in this movie during this scene; you think it's some kind of weird cyberpunk action movie and then Trinity leaps into the air and crane-kicks a cop, runs on a wall, leaps over a huge street from one building to another with the Agent chasing her doing the exact same sort of stuff. You'd think at first some kind of superhero thing or government conspiracy was happening but it's so much more.

[@NickTidder-nf3fb]

No Lieutenant Your men are already dead- the most chilling words in the opening scene As good today as its theatrical release back in 1999 😊

[@williamway-wp8kh]

First watched in San Francosco in 1999. Just realized what a prudent character Carrie Anne Moss's young Trinity is, never making unnecessary risks, and hewing to plans and orders. She seems particularly averse to Agents, and takes no chances with them that she can help. I personally theorize that the Oracle once predicted her death by an agent....

[@sliceserve234]

Funny, I was thinking the same watching this today. I think when you first see the movie everything is such a (wonderful) assault on the senses you generally don't notice details like that. Plus I think it was a at least a little intentional as what we are seeing here is the Matrix and not IRL.
