| Chris Hu said: Well The Matrix didn't impress me much since I already was a fan of Hong Kong martial arts movies long before I watched The Matrix and those movies didn't use any special effects in their fight scenes just simple wire work in some of them. Also as far a ground breaking special effects goes nothing in the Matrix is a groundbreaking as the T-1000 was in T2. |
Its not realy special effects, its the cinematography (i always wonder how the Matrix didnt get an Oscar on that category, it does have one for editting tough). It changed how pl do action in movies forever, its very clear how movies after the Matrix build the action scenes differently than movies before that did, the slomos, the camera angles, the pacing it all have a Matrix influence. And the movie did have a very well built plot as well, with a lot of literature and biblical references.
