25 years ago, The Matrix was Released in Theaters

 


What is The Matrix?

That was the question most moviegoers asked when the film was released on March 31, 1999 in US theaters, and boy were they in for a surprise with this Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow release that was directed by The Wachowskis and starred Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Joe Pantoliano.


Helping revolutionize the action and sci-fi genre for Hollywood, The Matrix ultimately became a critical and commercial success - spawning three sequels and many spin-offs. It helped propel special effects use in cinema - especially with the use of “Bullet Time” as well as daring storytelling with the rise of the computer and digital age.

Happy Anniversary to The Matrix!
