THE MATRIX (1999) Movie Reaction , Review!

[@alexkaen1701]

I recently took a computer programming class. Now the Oracle's cookies take on a whole new meaning

[@sayopubl]

Me: *hears "Oracle"* Also me: *shivers*

[@alexhaas9653]

This was amazing when it came out in 1999. A great experience on the big screen. Mind-boggling. Still holds up very well. And: Neo having to accept a cookie from Oracle during her talk with him is probably one of the best program related jokes of all time.

[@MrVvulf]

The joke didn't land until the second movie, when the nature of the Oracle was revealed.

[@MGower4465]

​@@MrVvulfIt did for me, but being in IT, cookies and computers are in my consciousness

[@bored312]

Unintended "joke" according to the Wachowski's in an interview many years ago. Most people had no idea what a "cookie" was in 1999. In fact, they changed humans being used as memory-capacity to being a power source since they believed most people in 1999 weren't computer-literate enough to understand.

[@christophergreen6595]

OMG I ONLY JUST GOT IT.

[@человек_дождя]

Он избранный..я тогда это понял...а вы, англосаксы держите при себе свои мысли...

[@klyph]

The marketing for this was brilliant. It presented a stylized sc-fi action film, but didn't show anything about the machines in the real world or the reality/simulation theme. When the reveal happened, it blew everyone's mind.

[@astral7080]

A milestone in the history of cinematic, 25 years ago... unbeliveable ahead of its time

[@christophergreen6595]

Still, really. Those 360 cam shots were a lot of work and I don't think it's been copied?

[@steamro11r]

i love the smug look on Morpheus' face when he asks Neo "Do you think that's air you're breathing now?"

[@zep7340]

The craziest thing is, it could actually be real. The concept of it anyway. Quantum mechanics acts like it's computer controlled.

[@Miller2h41]

This came out at the right time in early 1999 as a foreshadowing of what the future was about become.

[@jonnybb]

Everyone falls the first time....and everyone gets distracted by the girl in the red dress, it's the law.

[@gregkral4467]

Matrix really makes one think of the idea of a holographic universe. Was fun enjoying this again with you, Emma. Rock on!

[@wettuga2762]

"Nothing wrong with the world. Everything is just in your mind." Emma, November 2024

[@kentovewagenes1141]

In these evil times, it seems The Matrix was not a movie, but rather a documentary 😮

[@cpmf2112]

Don't worry, the phone survived the fall just fine 😂

[@Emma_Reactions]

😂😂😂😜

[@cameronadams1285]

The Matrix is one story in three parts. You have to watch the other two for the whole story. Love the reactions. Take care.

[@Bookworm-ye9qi]

No!. Don't bother with any other matrix movie. This one is perfect.

[@johnbickle8457]

The matrix is simply an ultra high definition video game. Games have rules (laws of physics) Agents (mini-bosses) have stats higher than the normal players but Neo has the ability to mod the game in real time to give himself even higher stats than the bosses have and even change the game itself. The protagonist has to have something to overcome otherwise you get Gary Stu/ Mary Sue characters, which most audiences reject.

[@steamro11r]

dont let the Wachowskis read this they might try to make a 4th movie where Neo is just a game dev who made a video game trilogy called The Matrix

[@1x1nDone]

Can't wait until you see the 2nd and third ones. People say they get convoluted, but if you just sit back and enjoy they are PHENOMENAL.

[@Scyth0r]

I think a lot of people miss the subtext of the second movie. They really went deeper into a lot of the more obscure philosophical and computer-architecture aspects compared to the first one, and that lost a lot of viewers.

[@michaelnolan6054]

I saw this with a group of friends in a theater in 1999. Usually we would go for drinks after and talk about what we just saw. Total silence and many vodka tonics later, we said good night.

[@RonnieStanley-tc6vi]

I love the scene in the car where they get rid of his bug. When Switch calls Neo "Copper-top", she is calling him a Duracell battery. Back in the 80s there was a commercial for Duracell where they called themselves the Copper-top battery. She is telling him that he is nothing more than battery feeding the machines.

[@jeffburnham6611]

This movie created a new method of action sequences involving slow motion and harness cables.

[@hbron112]

Great reaction, Emma! I remembered that the Oracle said Neo has the gift but it looks like he's waiting for something. "Your next life, maybe." And then he dies and is resurrected by Trinity!

[@ethanvilla4418]

Great reaction Emma! Had me cheering for Neo like it's the first time I'm watching this. lol

[@Emma_Reactions]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@JohnSmith-fm3pn]

Neo was almost will smith with Val Kilmer as morpheus But if you go even further back the part of neo was for Brandon Lee

[@stephaniesayer7191]

I would propose that what you said about AI should be corrected to, 'that' was the time (when the Wachowskis laid it out for us in The Matrix) for us to think about AI; now we're on the back of our heels and some that have been thinking about it are concerned it may be too late. I was glad to see you pick up on so many important points in this masterpiece that many others miss the first time. Watch this again and again as the rabbit hole goes so deep; there is so much more.

[@joshuasharrock466]

I'm a new subscriber and just wanted to say thank you for your reactions. I enjoy your style. Cheers from Ohio

[@Emma_Reactions]

Thanks for subbing!🥰

[@drewf8619]

@17:45 Smell is actually rarely used while dreaming... It's generally considered that people rarely experience smell in their dreams, as the brain regions responsible for smell are less active during dream states compared to vision and hearing; This is why smell is considered one of the least common senses to be involved in dreams. It's also been speculated that the rarity of smell in dreams; may be because smell circuits, being a very ancient function, follow distinct pathways into the cerebral cortex and have less overlap with vision and auditory networks.

[@Letha-Mae]

One of the best movies ever made!! I also love keanus (Constantine) I desperately want his part 2 to come out!! And you look so cute Emma 🖤🤍

[@doorofnight87]

Fun Fact: I don't know whether it was a deliberate homage or not, but the idea of something called The Matrix, a construct/computer built of minds, is at least as old as 1976 when the Doctor Who series The Deadly Assassin depicts the Time Lords as having a massive computer/virtual environment that is build using the minds of all deceased members of their race, and much like here The Matrix can be entered using special equipment by a living mind and explored.

[@pablolazaromartinez3541]

I remember when I first watched Matrix. I was shocked and delighted by it

[@Stereoboy33]

Somewhat interesting coincidence: in "The matrix" (1999), Neo's passport has an expiration date set to 9/11/2001.

[@Trixstien]

I live in Sydney where the Matrix was filmed and have been to about 10 filming locations and live near 4 of them. Seen them for a few years now and still makes me smile to see them in real life. :)

[@chrisleebowers]

The second and third movies are divisive. The second one is a bit clunky with it's storytelling but it expands the world, makes for a great middle chapter setting up the third movie, and has what may be the greatest, longest, sustained action sequence ever. There is a second act show-stopper that is *twelve minutes* of choreographed mayhem that never gets repetetive or lets you zone out and keeps you glued to every frame of it. The way the third movie is set up, you can't not see it, but... it doesn't suck, but that's really the kindest thing I can say about it. The new one is garbage. What IS worth checking is "The Animatrix" animated short anthology. It has a lot of world-building and backstory information and a lot of it is just cool.

[@bazounet32]

I really keep a fantastic memory of this movie when i saw it for the first time in a theater. It was really a mind-blowing experience, the two other movies didn't have this novelty compared to this one. It was really revolutionary, a important milestone in the cinema history for scifi movies.

[@Haploify]

Yes even Matrix 4 was good to me. People are divided on the sequels but it's just a fun ride.

[@CharlesVanNoland]

@6:30 Haha, good imitation of the window squeegee sound. In the DVD commentary they mentioned that the squeaking of the window cleaners was supposed to be a sort of metaphor for Neo rubbing the insides of his pod trying to get out and be free.

[@pabloesco2007]

18:20 : After Matrix 1 and before the 2, go check Animatrix because it's explain the prequel of Matrix 1 and Matrix 2 also. 21:45 : Major actors learn during 6/7 month martial arts with a famous professional.

[@ronnyt]

I think it's worth also checking out the sequels, Matrix 2 and 3, and the recent Matrix 4 (which is more of a nostalgic trip). They might not be as awesome or surprising as the first, of course, but they have their moments. Also, there is an animated movie; Animatrix, with several separate animated short movies. It does fill in some gaps as well. Thank you for your reaction video, it was really fun watching!

[@RonnieStanley-tc6vi]

If you like The Matrix, there is a history of the machines done in anime. The Animatrix is 9 stories done by different artists. Each one goes deeper down the rabbit hole.

[@19nzinga]

Telling us about the time you tried to roll was hilarious. 😂😂😂😂

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

A great reaction, Emma, it's an amazing film, yes, please do react to the next two sequels, "The Matrix Reloaded", and "The Matrix Revelations".

[@transponderful]

I saw you notice the cookie the Oracle gave Neo, because that's what programmes do, you accept a cookie from them

[@AlexKnight009]

* The soundtracks were perfect for this trilogy(yes, I say trilogy because I ignore the 4th movie). I think my favorite 2 tracks were *The* *Matrix* *Soundtrack* - *Juno* *Reactor* *Vs* *Don* *Davis* - *Navras* by "TMAd93" and *Juno* *Reactor* *-* *Mona* *Lisa* *Overdrive.* by "Mirroir". I also like that song called *God* *Is* *God* also by Juno Reactor.

[@WolfsDE]

Funny you should mention Buddha. You need to watch a movie called Little Buddha. Keanu Reeves is in this film.

[@nano_nano_nano]

Thanks for the reaction 😊 Looking forward to reaction to the second movie:)

[@wethepeople6642]

Definitely watch all 3 movies. Everyone has their own opinions and I definitely want to hear your opinion on all 3 movies. I love all of them. 👌 I love your reaction. 🙌👏🤝😎

[@normlee6566]

There are actually four parts now. Honestly, the first is still the best one. I would still watch the others just to complete the story arc, but it does get a bit sillier as they get deeper into the story. It went from, "cool" to "really?"

[@christophergreen6595]

'The desert of the real' is a philosophical concept. Not just something from thr writers

[@didonna1974]

If you rearrange the letters in Neo's name you get One. He is the One. Awesome reaction as always Emma ❤

[@MVG1982]

Be sure to watch parts 2 or 3 because you must see this trigoly in its entirety. Many people think 2 or 3 are worse, but I have to say that I actually think they are very beautiful.

[@criss6945]

31:10 Haha, funny thing is that Keanu played Buddha.

[@justitia257]

This wonderful film speaks for itself

[@doorofnight87]

The Matrix is a great movie, and still holds up quite well. There are some great ideas, the effects and action work well, and the whole vibe of the movie is great. The other three Matrix Movies (four if you include Animatrix) are all over the place. There are some great moments, but they aren't put together nearly as well and don't hold up nearly as well. Might be worth checking out.

[@williamwright4678]

One of those movies I watch at least once a year and never get bored of it.

[@brianwilson2789]

The Matrix changed cinema and culture. Personally, I think that there was a drop off in the Matrix movies after this masterpiece.

[@gizmo82bramz51]

Finally I get my phone back from my lil one to see this reaction love matrix

[@caramba10]

When this film was released knowledge of AI among the general population was largely unknown. It's now mainstream and almost everything we do has some connection to it and it's getting smarter and faster than maybe we should like.

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

_"It's now mainstream"_ Not even close. Yes, it's mainstream knowledge that there _is_ AI all over the place, but how it works is still _completely_ misunderstood by the vast majority of people.

[@splitimage137.]

Pretty much a classic movie. This one is better than those that follow... which is often the case with franchises like these.

[@Justyburger]

I first watched this in Sydney (where it was filmed) and The Matrix remains to this day, one of my top...if not my very top movie of all time. As far as I know, the concept has not been portrayed like this in any other movie, which makes it a very iconic movie. The term "Matrix" is used to describe control systems. Andrew Tate for instance, calls our system, The Matrix. You can interpret it in various ways. The spiritual battle for instance and that our physical bodies are really only perceptions, but the true reality is vibrational and spiritual. The Matrix can also be compared to the worlds Commercial and banking system, because it's an invisible "legal" realm that controls how the world operates. We pay taxes into it, so in effect it uses us like batteries. I had hoped that The Matrix would usher in a new era of enlightenment and freedom, but thus far it has not happened. If anything, we move closer and closer to The Matrix being an actual reality.

[@martinrayner6466]

This is one of those groups of movies that if you liked the first one, then you will like/love the next two. _Keep safe, thanks for the reaction._

[@johnharris6087]

I first watched this movie after watching the cult classic “what the bleep do we know”. It made it much more believable!

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

A quarter-century ago I experienced as you did the first time. The reframe of your core-narratives

[@AlaskanGlitch]

The Matrix is a story that is divided among three different movies. It does not matter whether you like or dislike Matrix: Reloaded or Matrix: Revolutions, all three movies must be watched in order to understand the story that is being told. The fourth movie, Matrix: Resurrections, is not part of the original story.

[@ashscott6068]

They COULDN'T push the button to activate the EMP because it would take out every electronic device in the area, including the computers and broadcasting equipment on their ship. And since Neo was inside the matrix, he'd die, because the connection would be lost. Come to think of it... the connection is wireless, so it's gotta be nerve wracking going into the Matrix knowing that if the wifi signal is interrupted, even for a fraction of a second, you die.

[@Stockfish1511]

Yes second and third are worth to watch. People say they are weaker than the first one. While i agree that the first one is the best one, however the second and third get into much deeper into what Matrix is, what neo is, what the oracle is, why matrix exists. Alot of questions get answered. Although it can be a bit confusing, i dont mind doing some explaining in the comment section if needed ;) Id argue second and third parts can be better if you get into the matrix lore.

[@gerardcote8391]

The rave scene has a funny story... thet put out a casting call for extras and all those people showed up dressed like that so they put them in the film.

[@1972myc]

There is a fourth Part. I like that one better than part two and three. Love you!

[@PyramidHeadTV]

the 4th one doesn't exist it's a pile of garbage. 1 2 and 3 were written by the wachowsk brothers and that's the trilogy. 4 is an obscenity and an insult not only to the original movies but to it's entire fanbase. Emma if you happen to see this comment know if anyone ever mentions 4 and states it's better or as good as any of the previous 3 know that person is a schitzo so just ignore their completely insane statement. They're likely posting from a mental institution using a stolen phone from one of the hospital's staff members.

[@jonathanbeason2871]

I went to the theatre to see the matrix as a kid I remembered the people were shocked by the slow motion bullet scenes & that was 25 years ago.

[@ryanswaynow]

You need to watch the animatrix. It takes place between this movie and the second matrix movie but reactors never watch it despite the fact that it is 100% part of the continuity and shows you exactly how the human versus robot war went down and who’s fault it REALLY was…

[@krisfrederick5001]

I'm not sure if this a movie or a warning...I have told this story a million times. And I may be a bad friend, but it's hilarious. When this came out we were high school kids. My bass player failed to tell any of us that he had taken acid before we went into the theatre. He didn't even make it through the opening green number sequence before running out. He spent the rest of it in the car doing god knows what. We didn't know! It's insane to think Keanu went from Bill and Ted to SPEED to this and beyond. That's an Excellent Adventure!

[@samuraiwarriorsunite]

2 and 3 yes, 4? In the words of Morpheus, I leave the choice to you.

[@albertjohn2735]

[@andrewneese6484]

I really like the Matrix trilogy and hope you react to all 3. And that 4th Matrix movie never happened Also, Hugo Weaving played Agent Smith perfectly. He was exactly what a cold, unfeeling agent would be like.

[@L3onOfKings]

Even though he uses a voice that impersonates the cadence of a wonderfully warm and giving soul - astronomer Carl Sagan.

[@ollep9142]

Should you watch the other films in the series? YES! At least "Reloaded" and "Revolutions". I haven't seen the latest, "Resurrections", so I can't comment on that one. I was so intrigued by the philosophical aspects that I purchased the 11 DVD Ultimate Matrix collection.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Emma, watch Keanu Reeves again in Point Break & John Wick series 👌.

[@davismccardle1]

Watching RP1 first does diminish the experience of watching The Matrix for the first time. There's not as much surprise.

[@gibosdog78]

I think you should watch the sequel The Matrix reloaded. This was a good reaction and just from watching this first video with you, I think you will like the sequel because of the ideas and your belief.

[@dai.wah.chi.jun.bo.1]

😁👍👍 Certainly one of the greatest sci-fi ... and "philosophical" movies❕ This part 1 movie is merely an introduction (e.g., "the awakening") to the full story, the story gets more complicated ... and of course, with a lot more never gets old action sequences! 👍 ... although, some viewers may get lost in the subsequent twists and turns of the story beyond part 1 ... choices, systems, programs, reality, belief vs. happening ... I would say "continue going down the 'rabbit hole' of the Matrix movies" 😁

[@johnbickle8457]

The Oracle is a program. one that is able to look for and predict the probability of events, the first computer ever used in war was used in England to predict the tides and size of waves in the English channel on june 6th 1944. The best movie easter egg in my opinion, is in the oracle scene. She gives Neo cookies (just like when you use a website).

[@emucat1]

Really well-done version of a classic theme. I see Castaneda, Klingsor's garden, & Percival, Homer, Zen, Plato, Gurdjieff, superman etc. Another of similar standard is Guy Ritchie's _Revolver_ Craziest in this area i've seen is Alejandro Jodorowsky's _The Holy Mountain_ but it's stunning in colour and art.

[@medieval420]

Neo is an INTP/ Logician/ analyst. One of the 16 MBTI personalities. Trinity is an ISTP, Morpheus is an ENFP, Cipher is an ESTP, and the Oracle is an INFJ. That almighty INTJ /Architect is in Matrix Reloaded. Please look into the 16 MBTI personalities. Also, the Matrix is loosely based on Plato's Allegory of the Cave written 380 years B.C

[@danrumble74]

I love watching you react to movies, Emma 🙂 Your reactions reveal your thought processes, and I always enjoy watching them. You have to watch the whole matrix trilogy, at least once.

[@Mace91]

This trilogy is amazing. Personally I think the second movie, Reloaded, is the best in the series. If you enjoy the story and want to see what happens to humanity then definitely give them a watch. A lot of people only watch for the action and tend to lose interest in the sequels, but I love them all.

[@Tedger]

I dont think ever seeing as involved and concentrated in movie or song 😍. Saw this 1st time in theaters.. the music from movie was everywhere... it was cool time to be 25 y old 😅

Hello Emma, this is a great Reaction Video for The Matrix. Part 2 & 3 have much more Action and you can see Zion. I bought the Matrix DVD Box a few Years ago.(Maybe a lot of Years?)

[@timometsanoja9666]

Matrix, one of the best movies ever made. It is a brilliant movie and it really grips you. It is incredible... Action movies were never the same after this. The rest of the Matrix movies are alright. Matrix 2 is pretty good. The third one is too action oriented and the fourth movie was good, but they had too much plot to put into a single film for it. So it feels kind of crammed and forced. It is a good movie, but it could have used more space to breathe more.

[@Rofyle-e4v]

Two weeks ago on Rogan's podcast Elon Musk predicted that in twenty years there will be more robots than humans in America. If you are following the news about the Ukrainian Russo war, then you will have seen that the war is now being fought with small drones. There was video of a small drone chasing after, locating and then killing a human soldier.

Also if you like action films.... I recommend District B13 , this is an Action film so He Man, that they didn't bother hiring actors they just had the Stuntmen do the lines.

[@qwerty-so6ml]

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.” H7358 rechem = womb, matrix 2 Timothy 2:26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. If you are not converted from the Matrix, the devil can take you captive at his will. Just like an agent takes over a human in the movie.
