I've seen The Matrix somewhere between 7 to 9 times in the movies, each time with different people... I'm also one of those who loved Reloaded and Revolutions. Are they perfect? No! But still, they are great movies in my opinion... In regards to Matrix Resurrections, I'm equally nervous and excited... But no matter what people might be saying, I'll shoot for a viewing in the movies the very first week for sure!

My 27 year old mind was blown away. 😆 Jurassic Park was the most amazing film I’d seen effects wise until this came along.

[@HerriCaine]

I was 26 in 1999 & this movie was mind-blowing, I had to watch it a twice in order to absorb all the new information & concepts I was trying to wrap my head around while trying to follow the story-line. I found the special-effects amazing & all the movies Mind-blowing. It actually help me realize there is more to the single-minded, man-made, socially constructed world I had been unknowingly living in for 26 years. So I gave up living a lie & decided to live a life I wanted to rather than do what I think others want me to do with my life, like my partner, mother or grown daughter.

The typical Prince charming kiss to bring him back to life seems silly but if you think about it ...he only got shot in The matrix ,in the spaceship where they're at.... His physical ears and brain can hear what she's saying and that's what makes him hear her out of the "dream world matrix" and realize that he's not dead and so his brain started his heart again.

[@tfpp1]

I was lucky enough to watch this in theaters. There was a sense that movies had all of a sudden "leveled up". You could feel the cultural shift. Everyone had a copy of this movie. When you'd visit friends & family they'd invariably ask if you've "seen it" and were excited to share it, etc. Nothing like it up till that point.

[@BaddMedicine]

That's awesome to see this feedback on the impact of the Matrix

[@tfpp1]

@@BaddMedicine Yeah, this movie was the talk of the town around the water cooler for quite some time in those days, especially in SoCal where I'm from. It just nails a bit of everything, so all groups were trying to "clam it as their own", like, if you were a philosopher type, this movie justified you, if you were Judeo-Christian, you bought into all the illusions of savior Christ and scriptural references, if you were paranoid about government and growing technology in those days it spoke to you, it was a fairytale for those who like sleeping beauty kisses at the end. Like, there was a little something in it for everyone.

[@briannicusrex5397]

The Oracle never said he was not the one. Neo said it and she said she was sorry, but not what she was sorry about. People just assume she was sorry to tell him he wasn't the one, but it's more likely she was sorry that he was the one, but he didn't think he was and didn't want to hear he was the one.

[@lampad4549]

Yeah that's just bad writing on the script for not making it clear to the audience. That conversation was the worst in the movie cause it unnecessarily vague.

[@vederianl9723]

[@NoriMori1992]

Not to mention, even if she had explicitly told him he wasn't the One, it's not like anyone ever claimed she always tells the truth. Like Morpheus said, she's a guide, and she tells you exactly what you need to hear.

[@mayaamis]

it's hard to explain to today's audience what a futuristic epic experience it was to watch this in 1999 and it was such mindfuck lol. the idea was so revolutionary and people were really coming out of the cinema like: omg are we in the Matrix right now?!?! 👀🤣🤣🤣 especially since people were not used back than to ideas of abstract or virtual realities...also the fighting scenes and effects were never before seen too and so ahead of it's time. such a classic! I was 14 watching this with my friends and we were mindblown for days!!

[@KDawg5000]

After watching quite a few of the Matrix reactions videos, it's interesting to see the various things the reactors focus on. Some pick up on the philosophy, some on computer coding, some just like the special effects or fights scenes. I think because it excels in all these different areas is why it's so popular with so many people.

[@urbnctrl]

It was literally pioneering in the time it came out

[@jakobfromthefence]

And some have to settle for a couple of friends who saw the thing 100 times and can’t stop giggling about it. 😅

[@Uhdksurvhunter]

"Wait, so hes not the one?!" "Thats what she said." Well, "technically" she never said he wasnt.

[@CrippledMerc]

I still remember getting this on VHS for my birthday the year it released. My aunt got it for me because I had asked for it, but she didn’t realize it was rated R until I opened it up and people were passing it around reading the synopsis on the back of the sleeve. I was only 9 or 10 but thankfully my parents just decided to watch it with me the first time through to make sure it wasn’t like a hard R rated movie. After that, I watched it so much that I eventually wore out the tape because it was my favorite movie and I had never seen anything else like that before in my young life. I honestly couldn’t even begin to imagination how big a part it played in my growth as a person from that point on, leading me to read more into different life philosophies, learning about AI, coding, hacking, even something simple just like Techno/EDM, and god knows what else. There’s no telling how significant the ripple effect from seeing this movie at that point in my life shaped who I’ve become today. One of my all time favorites. A classic.

Yeah, the first half is basically a psychological thriller.

[@glennwelsh9784]

I watched The Matrix for the first time at a friend's house when I was 15 when it was first released on DVD. When Morpheus holds up the Duracell battery, it hit me like a ton of bricks.

[@carlalussini]

I remember walking out of it being amazed by the fact that this was the only science fiction movie that could be actually real. Like, actually happening in OUR reality and not just a future or parallel fictional one(you know, when the president is not the actual one and such) .

[@michaelcumming2097]

It always amazes me whenever someone is surprised that agent smith shoots neo. That scene with the oracle isn't foreshadowing it's a straight up spoiler. She says exactly how the film is going to end.

[@lunacouer]

It's a lot to take in your first time watching though. There's a lot of ideas spinning around and when you combine that with the fast-paced action at the end, people don't reflect on what the Oracle said until they rewatch it.

One of the greatest movies of all time. It's the first time the inspiration of anime came into a mainstream movie (the wachowskis were directly inspired by ghost in the shell 1995, another genre defining classic film, which is even more obvious on the Animatrix) So many ideas about the nature of the human mind, consciousness, systemic oppression and systems of control, AI and the future of technology. It's stuff that's still very relevant today, even more so now that these things are even more part of our daily lives. Thank you folks for reacting to it!

[@williamozier918]

One of tihe genius aspects of this movie is that all of the special effects are not just usedf or spectacle. Each special effect is a part of the plot, and gvies us as much insight to the characters as the dialogue.

[@SubterrelProspector]

So Keanu was fairly popular by this film. He had done films like *Point Break* and *Speed.* Constantine didn't come out until '05. You have the timeline mixed up. Great reaction!

He was doing well before this. Matrix helped bring him to the next level. Fair a bit.

[@philproffitt8363]

'The Animatrix' is cool. A set of short extra stories/history before The Matrix...each a different style of animation. For the main back-story...how it all came about...I think of it as the future 200 years after the movie 'I Robot'. Worth a watch.

Even crazier, not a lot of people noticed that the subsequent DVD's and Blu-Rays they exaggerated the green even more to match up with Reloaded and Revolution. Nearly all the streaming platforms had this greener version. Then they released the UHD a couple of years back, which was color corrected to match more with the original theater release (but even then, streaming platforms still had the greener version)

[@BaddMedicine]

Interesting

[@The1Music2MyEars]

The green tint was added after post production. I remember I was able to download an Open Matte version of this movie. That was the bomb, seeing this awesome movie using 100% of your screen instead of having the top/bottom cropped out with black bars. Only problem was that it didn't have the green tint and it was only 720p since it was pre-production footage.

The Matrix was the very definition of cool back then, and still holds on.

I really liked Elrond in this movie. And i really like the expression on people's faces when they realise either "oh shit Elrond was Agent Smith" or "Oh shit Agent Smith is Elrond" depending which movie they're watching when they see it. Also great is that the Oracle was right about everything she told Neo, if you think about it. "It looks like you're waiting for something... your next life, maybe" goes with the follow-up of "You're going to have to make a choice. In the one hand, you'll have Morpheus's life, and in the other hand, you'll have your own. One of you is going to die. Which one will be up to you." Then he dies, and comes back, and in his next life, he's the one.

The kids floating the blocks at the oracles.. One of the blocks has a picture of a helicopter and a 3 below it, as in trinity. Later the scene when Neo saves her is when they are positive he is the one.

I`m a huge fan of "The Terminator & The Matrix", and I loved your reaction. It`s a pity I`m one year late but THANK YOU! I remember the time when "The Matrix" was released. It divided people into lovers and haters of this movie. The haters were those who didn`t understand it. It was always a good feeling to meet a new Matrix Lover :))) Probably someone already commented on this, but I have to mention it anyway. Many still don`t know that The Mother of "The Terminator" and "The Matrix" is the genius writer Sophia Stewart, who wrote her book in the 80s. You can google her and take a look at her magnificent personal story. Her idea was stolen from her. But she had the gut to fight back. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger called her and offered her $50,000 shush-up money. But she turned him down and went to court. Against all odds, she won! Also, Neo didn`t choose this alias by accident. When you mix the letters N E O, you get O N E. This means that it was clear from the start that he was "The ONE" 😎:)

[@Mikael_Puusaari]

Pretty much every1 who saw The Matrix when it came saw it at least a second time to understand what actually happened 🙂 Morpheus didn't speak in riddles, he was explaining that they are essentially in a computer program and said things in a way that Neo(as a hacker) would understand "Reality" is nothing but electrical impulses in the brain, so reality can be created or altered by the correct "input" and Neo just needed to understand how this specific program was working Cyphers actor(Joe Pantoliano) is so freaking good, he is in a couple of other classics: "La Bamba" and "Memento"

Never before seen fights like this. I remember during the hotel lobby gunfight, I gripped my sister’s hand and looked at her with my jaw dropped and mouthed “What. the. fuck??!!!” And she smiled knowingly at me because she knew exactly how I felt. Never before and never since have I had such a visceral, physical reaction to a scene in a movie. Dave’s sitting there like “Oh that’s pretty cool”, because cinema has advanced so much since 1999.

Something most people I know missed, Switch calls Neo Copper Top in the car under the bridge. 12:12 explains why, but by the time you get there you're so in to what's going on it's likely forgotten she said that to him before the bug removal excitement. Rewatching sheds so much light on so many behaviors and other details. I went 9 times when it was in theatres, still one of my top favorites today.

Never knew it until someone told me that the guy who played “Tank” is the son of Tommy Chong from Cheech & Chong. 🤯

[@BaddMedicine]

Really? No way.

[@misandristmayhem]

@@BaddMedicine Yes 😊

[@BaddMedicine]

Wow. Never would've guessed that

[@ctheartiste]

the fact that Dave wants to assume and after 3 miss fire he learned his lesson proves that the movie got you hooked. (well it happened in squid game too)

[@BaddMedicine]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes.

[@redemption44]

You guys are really funny. Great reactions. Another great reaction channel

[@BaddMedicine]

Thank you and thank you for watching. We appreciate it! 🤙

14:39 - Morpheus is like a power hitter at the plate, as the pitcher throws him a nice big fat pitch that he's about to send out of the park...

I was 11 when this came out and watched it everyday for God knows how long

I love most of his movies but He has played the same character in every film he’s ever been in. Wow

[@douglascampbell9809]

I wish Dave had picked up on what the Oracle told Neo in small talk. Oracle: Sorry, kid. You got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something... Your next life, maybe. End of the film Neo is shot and killed only to be resurrected by love's kiss... Just like Sleeping Beauty in reverse.

[@BaddMedicine]

Yeah, that went over my head. Clearly. 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ I was still trying to piece other things together. Lol.

[@eltravos99]

@@BaddMedicine To be fair the movie is a lot to absorb when you first watch it. When it came out I barely picked up on what the Oracle was telling him.

[@BaddMedicine]

🤙🤙🤙

[@kirbyjohnson8417]

not to mention the oracle said no one can tell you you're the one, just like no one can tell you you're in love, you just know. Yet she had told trinity earlier she would be in love with the one.

[@TheUkester69]

Squiddies. "Designed for one thing." "Search and destroy." Isn't that two things? I *love* this movie.

[@BaddMedicine]

🤣🤣 lol 2, but we can't count it.

[@kamroncapps9145]

Not sure if this has been addressed, I haven’t read all the comments, but I’ve been watching this film for years since I first saw it in 1999. To start, it is steeped in philosophy, from beginning to end. The book that “Mr Anderson” kept his hacking discs was Simulacra and Simulacrum, first of all. Not to mention the majority of his happenstance is based on the Gnostic Gospels. But I digress… my main point, from a storytelling and subtle perspective, is that when Neo met the Oracle, he was NOT the one. And then she gave him a cookie. And upon leaving, she said that once he ate that cookie he would feel right as rain. My theory is that the cookie gave him a form of programming needed to be the ONE, and then he needed to die (get rebooted) for the program to install. Tell me I’m wrong 😂😂

[@nammis77]

I am glad Will Smith said no to be Neo. I bet he isn't, lol.

[@BaddMedicine]

🤣🤣🤣

[@besupaaa]

This movie is emotional to me. A journey about believing in yourself and tearing down all yhe things youre conditioned to believe through your whole life, and grow confident!

When you're sitting out in the work truck sparking up for your lunch break and then you see a notification for badd medicines reaction to The Matrix! Oh it's going to be a long lunch 😂

[@BaddMedicine]

lol.... Oh Yeah! And great video btw, the one you did work one.

[@atfbproductions7458]

@@BaddMedicine thanks, much appreciated the spider-verse one is prob taking a good few months and probably probably only about 5% of most of what was in the sneak peak I dropped is going to be in the Final Cut I'm really trying to go big with this one..but really excited to see the reactions from Matrix 2 and 3 I haven't sat down to watch these films for probably 5 + years I'm going to have to go buy the 4K collection before Matrix 4 releases.. as always great reaction guys👍🍻

[@BaddMedicine]

Much appreciated! Thank you!

[@CharlesWyatt-cg5qs]

This was based on a story written originally by Plato, called 'Plato's cave.' You can find information about it online.

[@ComputerLearning0]

I had to watch this movie 3 times before I finally had a good grasp on everything.

[@BaddMedicine]

I need to watch it again for sure lol

[@avace917]

Upon watching this in the theater at the sudden request of my best friend, decided that I needed a DVD player

[@MrPenriquez]

I didn’t get to see this on the big screen but I remember seeing it on the small screen in ‘99 and being blown away The ending especially stuck with me We all had to wait for years for the sequel Although these movies are supposed to be experienced with the game and The Animatrix as well

[@sirjohnmara]

How? Have you not seen this? This is the last movie when cgi and sfx blew you away...

[@BaddMedicine]

I (Diamond Dave) wasn't into movies like this 20 years ago. Them John Wick can't around became a big fan Keanu, and now Matrix 4 is coming and wanted to see them. There's quite a bit of popular movies I haven't seen that you'd probably be surprised at. Lol

[@tookitogo]

Especially when you consider how many of the effects weren’t CGI. The famous “bullet time” shots were done by using dozens of SLR cameras, located around the green-screen set, with each camera’s shutter released a few milliseconds after the last.

[@HK7Roiz]

18:51 yeah actually, the Costume Designer is KYM Barrett ... he just threw a little easter egg there.

[@majbrat]

I have rewatched this movie a lot over the years and see new things often. It's amazing what you miss.

[@donnilloyd1355]

In my opinion, this is ONE of the Best Trilogies ever created. And as far as RESURRECTION goes, I haven't watched it yet. I'm curious to see if it is as good as the first. Great Post, guys.

[@kinagrill]

oh hey it's Elrond!

[@irishpieceoftrash]

What I love most about this film, and the trilogy overall, is the concept of fate vs choice. The biggest example of this being that the Oracle never actually said that Neo wasn't 'The One'. She gave him the information she knew, it was up to him to interpret it and figure it out for himself. If she had outright told him that he was, would Neo have even really believed it? He had to be the one to figure it out for himself, only then could he be sure. It's like, if you know too much about your own destiny, will you end up actually doing something wrong to end up preventing it? Ultimately it's best you just don't know and decide for yourself what path to take, because you'll always end up where you're meant to be.

[@BTAL1ama]

That was also the first time I notices the Gun's and Ammo sign at the start lol

[@graceonfilmsnstuff]

you guys asked about the initials on the lift? KYM? That's the wachowski sisters' tribute to Kym Barrett the costume designer.

[@BaddMedicine]

Ahhhh. Gotcha. Thank you! 🤙

[@vKyIe]

love coming back to watch this. Always fun watching someone discover the Matrix for the first time. RedPill every time :)

[@VIKDR1]

The costume designer was Kym Barrett. I would assume the KYM in the elevator was a nod to her.

[@andif8]

Saw this movie back then in a preview, with just no clue about the movie. What a dope experience⚡️⚡️

[@davewu8938]

Rewatching this time, I just realized the movie "Inception" was inspired by the Matrix too. The scenes where Cobb taught Ariadne how dreams work and how to bend it, it's kind of like the "tutorial scenes" where Morpheus teaches Neo how the Matrix works but instead "believe yourself".
