    If you watch the matrix now after so many copy cats it loses its magic, but at the time it was thought provoking.

      Eh, only if you hadn’t read any sci fi before in your life.

      As someone who grew up steeped in the Big Three, it was nothing mindblowing

        It was for movie goers who may not read sci-fi. I remember many colleages and some family members freaking out a bit “Like what if we are just in a simulation/hologram existance?” a bit of existential dread/anxiety from it.
