Warner Bros. is a legendary production company and has unrivaled franchises under its belt. Thanks to Warner Bros. we have met countless characters and stories, from Harry potter and the Philosopher's Stone until The Matrix with Neo as the chosen one. If we were to number everything that great production companies such as Warner Bros., Disney, Paramount, Metro Goldwyn Meyer, among others, have given us, it would be too long a list. But one of his most impressive achievements was this 1999 film that, unintentionally, changed cinema forever.
It was not only the script and concept of the film but also the incredible special effects, combining camera shots, computer 3D (CGI) and cameras. The result had already been done before and began to be called “Bullet Time” and was used both ironically in films and comedy series, such as Shrek either Scary Movie, as well as for many other “serious” blockbusters that sought to stand out, in the end, it began to be used and copied so much that it began to lose effect on the masses. Regarding the origin of this effect, even if we go back to Blade of 1998, several months ago with respect to The Matrixan almost similar effect was made, although much shorter and preliminary.
You can still see it and it has “almost” not aged
There is one thing that happens with films before 2012, and that is that technology has imposed itself on humanity with an element that from 2010 onwards began to become popular. We are referring, of course, to modern mobile devices, with their thousands of useful applications, useless games and apps of all types and for any type of person. Being in 2015 and watching a movie where the protagonists get lost in the streets of any city was already anachronistic having the GPS at hand and which works so well in most situations.
In that sense The Matrix and any other film released prior to 2010-2013 has suffered the dramatic consequence that we see an old-fashioned mobile phone, or we see that the protagonists are using certain tools such as old-fashioned cameras, or they simply run out of battery to be able to call. phone to anyone – instead of sending a message via WhatsApp– and It seems very strange to useven to those of us who lived through all those times of memorizing important phone numbers or writing SMS messages the old way, with numbers.
Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, along with the original Forrest Gump team, will make a new film together titled “Here”

However, on Blu-Ray or in HD on any streaming platform, The Matrix It's a movie that It has aged quite well, it is very entertaining and the effects look greatremoving its second and third installment with the CGI that unfortunately if you see it in HD it is possible that your eyes will bleed.
If you are one of those people who has not seen this movie yet, you should spend a free afternoon watching it because It is very possible that you will end up liking it more than you think. Waiting for another video game at the level of The Matrix: Path of Neo (2005) or a remastering of it, we can only enjoy the past, because this video game may never reach our consoles.
