The CGI work in War of the Worlds is really incredible. It hasn't aged a day. Well done Spielberg.

I love War of the Worlds (except those WTF final moments). The CGI is truly incredible.

According to AMC's trivia that they have slapped on the screen throughout the movie, the "there is no spoon" kid was up for the role of Harry Potter and made it to the final auditioning rounds.

The first Matrix is top 5 scifi for me.  Still remember walking out of the theater having a hard time believing what I just saw.

budget for million ways is only 40m according to thr. so won't flop. though it's international appeal is not much.

That is what I meant with my post. It is probably because of that I don't love it like some do.

 

Memories.  I don't think walking out of a movie I ever quite had the feeling I did after I walked out of the Matrix. I was about a junior I think in high school- impressionable youth- and good God.  My mind was so blown with what I had just watched.  I just remember jumping around outside and just had a huge grin on my face…that truly was an epic for me.  As an even younger kid, the star wars movies on VHS amazed me.  But that teenage movie that just made me go nuts was the matrix no doubt- that feeling all fans of movies want to have after watching what you think is the greatest movie you've ever seen.

 

For that reason alone it remains in my top 5 ever(I love the 2nd also- no comment on 3rd)

The Matrix is one of those rare movies I consider perfect from start to finish.and it was definitely a mind-blowing experience seeing it in a crowded theater on opening day.

What's awesome about the Matrix and what the W brothers (brother/sister) did is that the movie deals with so many themes (control, fate, reality, etc) and yet rather than sinking, the movie just works on all of the levels...

 

Plus coming out from the movie, it makes you think of all of those themes pushing you watch the movie again and again...it was self contained too and the release of the sequels in my opinion was not necessary...

After watching The Matrix again when I was older (and actually understanding it) it prompted me to do a lot of research in eastern philosophy. I enjoyed it so much I actually considered majoring in it. 

 

Unfortunately I don't think that is where the money is.

Ok, that anus on the tripods that sucks people in is pretty weak looking.

 

Nothing's perfect, so I can accept it.
