Though it may sound strange, the widespread parodying of “The Matrix” is actually an indicator of its success and influence. When the Wachowskis released their cerebral sci-fi masterpiece upon cinemagoers in 1999, people didn’t know how to process it. “The Matrix” was a film without precedent, blending cultures, philosophies, and cinematic genres in totally unexpected ways. Of these many innovations, the most obvious and in your face was its visually unique approach to action. From the gravity-defying combat and bullet time, to the epic chase scenes and use of urban spaces, it all felt fresh and wildly exciting. Some of the effects may feel dated today, but they were groundbreaking in 1999 and helped make the action all the more spectacular.
