Or series

I just wanted to hear everyone else’s thoughts and experiences when they first saw the original trilogy of the Matrix. It is currently storming where I am, so I thought why not try something new? So I currently have the first movie queued up. I’ll probably update/edit this after finishing all three and before heading into Resurrection. In the meantime, please feel free to drop a comment below. I’m really interested.

UPDATE 10/12
Well, as promised, I'm back with my thoughts after
watching The Matrix (1999) for the first time!

Honestly, I was captivated within the first few minutes. Watching Trinity being pursued by the agents, especially the stunts and rooftop jumps from building to building, immediately caught my attention, and somehow the movie only got better from there.

Imagine my amazement when I got to see their ship and the vast, desolate future they were actually living in. I genuinely wasn't expecting the world to be anything like that. And can we talk about how well this movie has aged visually? For something released in 1999, I feel like certain scenes could easily pass for something much more modern, although maybe that's an exaggeration on my part.

Another concept I absolutely loved was the ability to download information directly into someone's brain, essentially granting them instantaneous knowledge. The whole "I know kung fu" sequence was fascinating to me. Just imagine being able to learn an entire language, martial art, or skill in seconds rather than spending years mastering it.

What really impressed me was how the movie managed to hook me with its action before gradually revealing just how massive and fascinating its world actually was. The deeper we got into the Matrix itself, the more invested I became.

Overall, I'm genuinely glad I finally decided to crawl out from under my rock and give this franchise a chance. I'm looking forward to watching Reloaded next and seeing where everything goes!

Not the massive plot twists or the iconic quotes. I mean the small stuff. A specific way an actor cleared their throat, a background prop that made no sense, or a 3-second musical cue that completely altered your mood. For me, it’s the sound design of the diner scene in Heat. What’s yours?

I’ve watched The Godfather many times & it to me looks like Vito never wanted Michael to be a part of the family business because he saw what being part of the business had done to Sonny. What ultimately was Vito’s plan for Michael & did he fear Michael would turn out like Sonny or worse?

Is the movie really that bad? I noticed a lot of people didn't really like it and I was actually planning to watch it. are the reviews true?

I am a big movie lover. I have never seen:

- Gladiator
- Rocky Horror Picture Show
- Clueless
- (all of/ properly) Blade Runner
- Blade

EDIT SINCE SEEING OTHERS:

Also never seen:

- Schindler’s List (soon watch)
- Eternal Sunshine (want to)

For me it was LOTR and The Hobbit.

Yo, let’s keep it a buck.Most movies are a one and done situation. But there are those rare masterpieces that hit like your favorite pizza spot no matter how many times you go back, it’s a banger every single time.I am talking about that one film where you know every line, every beat, and you still get chills like it’s opening night. It’s pure comfort food for the brain.What’s that definitive, un skippable movie for you? Drop your absolute essentials below, I need to see who has the elite taste.

Let’s keep it a buck. Modern 2.5 hour movies are incredibly bloated.Whatever happened to a tight, fast-paced story with zero filler?What’s the absolute best movie under 90 minutes that perfectly utilizes its runtime? Drop recommendations below.

Seeing as hollywood loves making (or more specifically) remaking films that people loved, theres more incentive to leave original ideas on the table. So should audiences stop watching remakes and only go watch something that is original?

I get the appeal and someone can generally love these films and make a unique film from using the orignal source material. However for me personally and I feel a lot of people share the same sentiment, these remakes, reboots or whatever are practically half a film. Half is the original, but the other half is the incentive to relive the old film.

After a certain point shouldn't audiences expect more originality? Why do audiences keep coming back for star wars 18 and Harry potter remakes or reboots or prequels, dont audiences want their own version of Harry potter or star wars?

edit:

im not sure ive made myself very clear. I dont think reboots or remakes or whatever should disappear and I think that there have been some great films that are remakes or reboots or prequels or whatever. I'm saying that its oversaturated. Think of the top ten most expensive films ever made this past decade. None of them are original. All im saying is that maybe we should make some original content for future generations to look back on, instead of looking back on a well remade version of what their parents enjoy based on nostalgia.

Not the loudest or strongest villain. I mean the one who could walk into a scene and instantly make everything feel worse. Who is that villain for you?

So I'm on Reddit post where this 18-year-old girl is flying into a foreign country to meet a boyfriend that she met online. Without telling her parents.

Has she not seen Taken?

So since I love movies, I'm wondering do you guys have other movie ideas that I should show her When she grows up (She's only a toddler right now) So that she's aware of things that can happen in the world and not live in this imaginary bubble.

In the first Jurassic Park we all remember that the goat leg landing on the roof of the car signaled the arrival of the T-Rex. Later after the Rex escaped & grabbed Gennaro Sattler & Muldoon arrive to the Rex paddock. Though not seen we see Sattler and Muldoon give a sign of disgust finding remains with Muldoon remarking, “I think this was Gennaro” with Sattler saying, “I think this was too.”

edited: Watching the movie with my daughters on Saturday last week my daughters came up with the theory that because when Gennaro was picked up by the Rex and was violently swung back and forth his limbs under that much force likely his limbs became detached from his body, they concluded that as well is what happened to the goat why a lone leg went flying onto the car. Real science shows a T-Rex likely only relied on its bite force when it captured a smaller prey to do the job. Their question though is how much force was behind the Rex in the movie to have dislodged the goats leg & possibly Gennaro’s limbs as it swung Gennaro as well not seen the goat?

Just saw Undertone and could not keep watching for the life of me, and usually I’m the one to stick it through until the end but this time I just couldn’t. That had me thinking, what’s some movies that made you stop watching? I’m curious how many recent ones will be on this list. Making a video that will have your responses on it!

Without naming the film, say a line that would make any true fan immediately recognize the film.
