matrix - really - what a turd
Much as I dislike the Matrix as an overwrought piece of tripe it’s actually a pretty significant movie. It brought wire-fu martial arts to a full sized audience, first appearance of bullet cam, and was a huge step on the way to Hollywood finally admitting SF movies are profitable. In terms of SF movie production there is a clear delineation in style pre and most Matrix. It’s still a ridiculously stupid movie, but the film registry is looking for cinematic historical significance, not quality.
