9. The Matrix
This may be the biggest surprise as a movie on this list. In 1999 people had no idea what they were getting into. From the trailer, all you see is scenes from what looks like a c-list action movies. 3 hours later and everyone left the theater saying one word. "whoa" It is sometimes viewed as the movie that no one understands but everybody loves, but if you have the brain function to understand this masterpiece, you are in for a ride. I love this movie and applause it for his complexity. Not only did this movie go ham at the box office but it launched Canadian actor Keannu Reeves into an upwards spiral which spawned a ton of great pictures on the directing and acting end.
This movie will take you on a roller coaster of time travel, gun fights and kung fu. "The Matrix" did not bore me. You will not be able to stop thinking of the road this movie will bring you on. There may be only one conclusion in the movie, but there are countless more possibility you will be thinking of. The world created in this movie complements the story for it is very simple but at the same time elegant and beautiful. The now extremely famous concept slow-mo was mostly brought to the main stream market, because of this movie`s advancements in visual effects, many more related titles were able to be released I.E Kick A** and Inception. What keeps this movie from being higher on the list is it`s characters. Other than Neo and Metamorphosis I found no reason to care for the other members of crew. Even when some key characters got killed off, I could not find the motivation to even think about them.This is just a small blemish on what is rather great movie.
It sounds like an interesting movie and i think i might watch it.. I barely watch action movies but I love the ones that include Kung Fu. I'm a big fan of a chinese actor named Jackie chan. I love all his action movies. Therefore i think i might enjoy watching Matrix and fall asleep. Keep up the good work.
