  1. People have to remember that we only had the internet for a few years when this movie came out. This movie was mind blowing for many of us.

  2. No YouTube back then. Maybe you caught a trailer from a prior movie or an ad on TV. Mostly, we’d just go in cold to a movie without any background.

  3. While the plot was hard to understand in the theatres, the first one was very relatable visually. The sequels had a different feel. But, yes. I enjoyed them all.

  4.  @flippedoutcookie  Do you realize they were charging hourly rates before AOL? It was 2x the federal minimum wage. AOL's monthly fee was a game changer for the middle class. (You still needed to buy a second hardline or you couldn't receive phone calls.) I remember doing BBS stuff in 4th grade. There wasn't much to connect to.

  5.  @jd0879  JFC. No sane person would consider ARPANET the internet. The modern internet with http and url didn't launch until 1989. It's like people talking about the internet don't know how to use...the internet to find correct information.

  6. My most used line in real life: whenever I get deja vu, I mumble to myself, must be a glitch in the Matrix.

  7. He was a lead actor for nearly 10 years. Movies didn’t produce. Studios have to move on at some point.

  8.  @foxskyful  When 9-11 happened, the whole internet crashed. People were trying to refresh news pages. It took literally minutes to reload. Also in the 2000s, we had limited network space at work. I think my capacity was 100MB in the beginning. No, not GB. MB.

  9. Nolan is the best filmmaker of this generation.

  10. What the fuck is going on? (That’s what I was thinking during the opening scene.)

  11. Nothing will ever top the subway scene for the first movie.

  12. Just realized this is an upgraded version of the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon scene.

  13.  @jd0879  Dude - I could say the exact same thing back to you. Spoken like a true millennial that didn't live through it. I used BBS back in the mid-80s as an elementary school kid. Learned BASIC programming in the 5th and 6th grade at a community college and a G&T summer camp program. There was literally nothing an average person could do with it though. As a middle class suburban kid, we used our Commodore 64 and later Apple II (my friends computers) to play video games. My sister's boyfriend in the mid-90s was the first to get internet service. It was Prodigy or Compuserve. But, you couldn't use it because it was an astronomical per hour charge. No one had email accounts until AOL starting giving out their free disk and a flat monthly charge.

  14.  @sheezy2526  As a son of a middle school English teacher, I was likely in the top 1% of well read kids growing up. My parents didn't allow us to watch TV or go out on school nights. There was nothing to do, but read books with no TV or internet.

  15. Pretty crazy that Patty Jenkins didn't get another film project after Monster (2003) until Wonder Woman. How the f' does that happen?

  16. They never marketed that phone. Huge miss. I got a Nokia slider phone, but it was much smaller and silver because of the movie.

  17. Was confused as hell the first time I saw this. Why are they killing random people? Lol

  18. Not sure how they filmed some of these scenes.

  19. 0:06 lol, I had no idea the matrix green code would show up when they transported into their bodies (used slow mo). TVs + resolution was pretty bad when I had the DVD and used to watch it.
