I think things are a product of their time, and you had to be there for the vast majority of it. The Matrix was a revolution when it came out, but now it just kind of looks the same as everything else (even dated), but that's because everything else copied it.

as someone who went to watch The Matrix in IMAX a couple of days ago I gotta disagree! :)
Did you just watch it for the first time?!
If so, they're a great test of the theory that it was only good in its time and wouldn't hold up to a modern viewer.
Yep, that's why I'm asking.
not the first time i've seen it, no. but the first time i've seen it was as a teen in the 2010s, once more since then and now at the cinema.
Yeah but that's different from seeing it for the first time now. You still have the nostalgia.
