Rich and T.A Shelano from The Middle-aged Bodcast join Flixwatcher to review Rich’s choice The Matrix. The Matrix (1999) is the genre blending sci-fi action film written and directed by Lilly and Lana Wachowski. Set in dystopian future where humans have been dominated by AI and trapped inside a simulated reality called the ‘Matrix’. In the year 1999, Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) is a computer hacker who also goes by the name Neo, his online activity alerts both fellow hackers and Agents, notably Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving). He meets with Trinity (Carrie-Ann Moss) who explains that Morpheus (Laurence Fishbourne) believes him to be the “One” who will help them break free from the Matrix. It is impossible to avoid the influence The Matrix had on filmmaking and popular culture. The “bullet time’ visual effect and wire work was highly influential on action films. Its terms around red pill / blue pill philosophy have been reused and even adopted by the alt-right. Recommendability scores for The Matrix were very high, losing points only on the small screen and it scores 4.53 overall.
