anyway feel free to talk about how or when you first saw this movie
I didn't really see this movie until I saw it on TV in California with my dad. My dad looked at the TV guide, turned it on, and I watched it with him. I was hooked and I couldn't wait for the other two to come out. I even became a bigger fan than my dad who kinda stopped being a fan after Reloaded.
yeah i saw this in the theater bad weather most of the night storms and all after i just got out of the place the power went out of the area for like about 30 mins or so.
Happy Birthday!
Anyway, I saw it in the theater, but not before it had already been running for a couple weeks if I recall correctly. Didn't really think I'd enjoy it at all based on the trailers (not sure why though *shrug*) and only saw it once at the time, but it stuck in my head. In comparison to The Matrix I think I saw Reloaded four times in theaters and Revolutions twice... hehe
I remember I was dying to see this movie. There was so much hype for it, and everyone was wondering "What IS the Matrix?"
I was 21, in college, and working at Pizza Hut. At the time, I was building up cash and starting to build my entertainment center. Back then, DVDs were a new format and people weren't sure about buying them... I had been debating buying a dvd player (they were about $500-$600 back then). I finally decided to start saving up for one...
I went to go see the Matrix on opening night with some friends, and the movie totally blew me away. As I was watching it, I said to myself that this work of art would be the very first DVD I bought when I got my DVD player.
Sure enough, about the time the Matrix came out on DVD, I had gotten my dvd player and the Matrix was the first movie I bought. I also got Blade and Armageddon.

heh this is the only movie i got 3 copies of i got the vhs the orignal dvd the ultamite trillogy dvd set and ill eventually get that blu ray 10th anniversery
I too was intrigued by the tagline "What IS the Matrix?". I went to see it with a girlfriend, who I think was not impressed by it at all.
I remember talking about the movie a couple of years later with my then fiancee -not the same girfriend :: laughs :: - and I showed it to her in VHS. She liked it. After we married, we went to see Reloaded and Revolutions.
All in all, I enjoy the whole franchise and all its implications. Of course there are a lot of plot holes, but that it makes me think after all this time is what I appreciate in a work of art.
That box art is pretty pimp.
I won't go into detail, but I was a little too young to see this movie when it came out. I got into a few years later and that's when the obsession started... The Matrix ftw.
still have my ticket stubs from opening night of all 3 films... good stuff
The Matrix was one of those movies that actually changes a person, personaly it really opened my eyes to the world around me. I don't look around and think to myself "this could all be a program" but I am very preceptive to most everything around me and watch people's actions and reactions to things around them. I feel like I would be a VERY different person today if 'The Matrix' had never been released.

Same.
This was kind of a happy accident, I wasn't crazy about wanting to see movie at first because I really disliked Keanu Reeves as an actor up to that point (lol); but my co worker at the time kept saying how great it was, so I basically became open to seeing it.
Then one weeknight I had a lot of energy so I basically went and did the double feature thing
I went to see the movie "Go" (remember that?)....when that ended I had to stay in the theater till the next showing of the Matrix which wasn't for 45 minutes or so...I snuck over and waited in the middle of "Analyze This"...then saw The Matrix
It was kind of a fluke...rarely do the Double Feature thing, but I did and I'm very glad that I did (although I owe Edwards Cinema/W Bros 8 bucks or whatever the price for a movie ticket was back then )

Same here (opening night & still have stubs)... The Matrix I saw twice at the cinema (and well over 400 times since) in Melbourne, Australia.
Reloaded was in Nice, France (yep... I saw the Merv swearing in France). "Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de m3rd3 de saloperie de connard d'enculé de ta mère."
Revolutions was in Berlin, Germany.
I still have the poster-art instant win cards that you got with concession-stand purchases too.
I have The Matrix on VHS and DVD
Reloaded, Revolutions and Animatrix on DVD
All the sound tracks
Enter The Matrix and Path of Neo on XBox
4 years of MxO Subscription (It's still paid up 'till June)
and the two books of Comics.
Seeing it all in a list like that kinda freaks me out.
