FIRST TIME Watching The Matrix (1999) | Movie Reaction 

"That's a lot of pressure to put on him.This guy couldn't even show up to work on time." Best line I've heard about Neo.

Calling Cypher a “bitch” was unexpectedly hilarious 😂

Switch called Neo coppertop because he was still plugged into the Matrix and basically a battery.

The story, the acting, the general idea, the action, Keanu Reeves, Hugo Weaving, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, everything made this movie legendary, It's so cool to watch you experience it for the first time! Your cat is beautiful!

I find it incredible how good this film still looks after so many years.

13:21 “I’m gonna have an existential crisis.” 😂 Welcome to the club!

"Answer the phone" your annoyance made me laugh

One day when my wife was having a crappy day at work, she called me to vent. I said, "There is no spoon" to cheer her up. She got mad at me.

I wasn't paying attention. I'm watching the woman in the red dress 😂👍

Trinity: "A killing machine designed for one thing." Lipps: "Killing?"

"Yeah yeah you're the one - look, will you stop showing off and just ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE. I'M SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW" Seriously, best reaction ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣

39:48 I don't think I've ever laughed this hard at a reaction holy crap

My favorite movie! Every time I watch it, I realize something new. The reason why Agent Smith says, "No, Lieutenant. Your men are already dead." is because Smith didn't transform into one of the officers. He knows they are already dead because he didn't transform. That's the same reason why Switch pulls a gun on Neo at the Adam's Street Bridge. If Neo started to transform, they would have to shoot him. Also, the reason why Cypher says that all he sees is a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead is because he was directly looking at the restaurant where he was meeting with Smith, and in the restaurant are a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead. That's why Cypher was so spooked when Neo showed up. Cypher was planning out his meeting right at that moment. Edit: Also when Trinity gets out of the phone booth in the beginning of the movie, one of the agents says, "The informant is real." The informant was Cypher. Cypher was the reason for the opening scene. "Are you sure this line is clean?"

39:49 "sluuut!"😂😂😂 Great reaction!!

The Matrix had a 63 million dollar production budget and the most iconic props are a DayQuil and a NyQuil?!

"You are THE ONE, Neo." "I've spent my entire life looking for you." "Aww, that's cute. Romantic." 😂

"Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?" I am looking at the woman in the red dress.

The joy and excitement I get from watching you enjoy an iconic film for the first time, and how vocally expressive you are about it, is almost more fun than watching the movie again. Thank you for another amazing react!

Note that Neo is an anagram for One.

“That’s a lot of pressure to put on him. This guy couldn’t even show up to work on time.” I feel called out :D

Back in 1999,there were billboards that advertised “The Matrix “ and it said “What is the Matrix “? They were everywhere in Los Angeles where I was living at the time. This movie was so groundbreaking at the time.

That side cartwheel that Trinity does off the wall when they go to save Morpheus was done in one take.

17:30 "this guy couldn't even come to work on time" 😂🤣😂🤣

If you’re going to criticize Neo for not being on time, you can’t really get too mad at him for being right on time (in the nick of time, for that matter), in the end. With that said, however, please, never stop being you. 😄

Loved your reaction :) But before reacting to matrix 2 reloaded, you really MUST react to the animatrix. These are 9 shorts stories on the matrix universe who helps to understand it and to elarge the universe and the lore : -The second Renaissance : It's a matrix prequel which tells what happened between humans and machines and why the matrix was created -A kid's story : Origin story of a new character in matrix 2 & 3 -Last flight of the Osiris : It's an introduction to matrix reloaded, litterally a couple of hours before. Btw, and unfortunetly, Tank (the operator) won't be on matrix 2 & 3 because the actor had schedules issues. Btw, matrix 2 (reloaded) and matrix 3 (revolutions) are actually a 4 hours film cut in two parts (they were shot back to back) and this is why they were both released the same year with only a 6 months gap. So to be more clear, this is the right order to watch the matrix franchise : - The matrix (1999) - The animatrix (2003) - The matrix reloaded (2003) - The matrix revolutions (2003) Sorry for my bad english and the long comment :)

Holy cow your cat reminds me of my cat I just had to have put down on saturday. 16 years with her. Crazy how time flies. Nobody there waiting for me when I get home.

It would be fantastic if we had the ability to download information like when Neo received his combat training.

Since you watched John Wick 3 about 7 months ago, you might have forgotten the line... "Guns, lots of guns" which is a fun call-back to the Matrix. 😄

That one eye open eye roll @42:56 🤣 I thought I was the only one that did that.

8:48 - During the 1990s, "Coppertop" was the nickname of Duracell brand batteries.

I never realized just how much Agent Smith sounds like Carl Sagan. Great review. .

Imagine to watch Matrix for the first time and thing it's a fricking romance...

Calling trinity a sloot for not answering the phone made me laugh out loud, a lot. You are a really funny and ive definitely subbed to your channel.

My grandpa once said, "if you have no port hole in back neck, it's mean you're living in the matrix".

Understand, time does not pass in the Matrix at the same rate it passes in the real world.

“You are the one Neo” Mouth breather: oh that’s cute Me 🤧

damn i loved your reaction but damn ive never seen someone take the wind out the sails of the ending so badly XD

There are so many computer references in this movie that young people may not know them. Like the sound of modems, acoustic couplers, green screens, and many other computer references from the 1960s and onwards.

If you like movies like this you should also watch Dark City (1998), The Thirteenth Floor (1999), and the Cronenberg masterpiece, Existenz (1999).

I cant imaging how incredible it must be to watch this movie and know nothing about it... I grew in a time this was soo popular it was impossible not to know everything about it xD... still a great movie but watching morpheus do his expositions and learn about everything as he explains it.. The level of curiosity and wonder is incredible

Funny, people in the theatre had the same reaction when Trinity and Neo were standing around talking and Neo was exploring his powers. People were saying the hull is breached, get the hell out. Of course, everyone cheered when the movie ended.

"A killing machine designed for one thing." "Killing?" Lol.

It's crazy how the reactions run in cycles. I think The Matrix made a cycle on RU-vid reactions like a year ago.

Good editing on this one too by the way! 👍 Great react! 👌

'I live in this blank space a lot'. Me too, kid

damn i was so excited for you to enjoy the ending with the bullet stoppage

Another legendary movie from this time is Fight Club. A must see, smart film. Whatever you think it is, you’re wrong. 😊

Haha! I totally get the anxiety but now imagine we're all living in a simulation right now, like many top scientists right now believe 🤣

If that's the most anxiety... you haven't seen Speed, or Die Hard, or Uncut Gems. There are a LOT of high anxiety movies just waiting. 😅

"That's a lot of pressure to put on him.This guy couldn't even show up to work on time." --- Yes! That's what makes Neo awesome. He's just a regular Joe Smith average guy who becomes a Superhuman.

Neo didn't believe in fate because he didn't like the idea of not being in control of his life, but it's the idea of being in control of his life what actually controls him. 👁👁

i've seen the Matrix more than a hundred times but i never knew Switch says 'Copper Top' until Lipps just said it. makes sense now, especially with Morpheus holding up a Duracel. i don't know what i'd been hearing, 'compu tom'? wtf🤭

The one complaint I hear about this film is the “cheesy” kiss of life bit. I understand but it’s actually perfectly acceptable because he’s not dead, his avatar in the matrix has supposedly been killed but it’s not unreasonable to suggest someone with effectively god like powers wouldn’t actually be dead in the real world, he just needed the last price of the puzzle to fall into place. It’s a superbly philosophical film, and if you can follow the logic of the sequels imho they’re on the same level but the level of understanding of philosophical principles is higher than many are comfortable with which is why they’re not as popular but the scene in the second everyone hates where everything is explained actually makes it all perfectly logical!

Notice neo acceptes the oracle's cookies, special cookies, also I think him dying was apart of the change.

13:19 Lipps going through what we went through the first time. I didn't sleep well for weeks.

My favorite part of this movie was when Neo ascended to become the One and was showing off his new skills..it’s what got me back to watch Reloaded

this is the move is what made people use the term "bullet time"... in fact, quote: "The term "bullet time" was first used with reference to the 1999 film The Matrix, and later in reference to the slow motion effects in the 2001 video game Max Payne"... this movie was groundbreaking for a lot of things...

For *some* reason I thought she had certainly seen this movie already :3 I mean it's like a rite of passage at this point.

Hi! c: New to your channel because of this I'm subbed and liked and look forward to joining you on your reacting journey! :D

The opening to The Matrix feels very similar to the opening of Three Colors Red (you'll know exactly what I mean when you see it). Now that's a French film, very different, but I believe everyone, just once in their life, needs to see the Three Colors Trilogy. It is one of if not the most impressive sequence of 3 films in all of cinematic history, if you're looking for great, artful character studies.

this was honestly one of my favourite reactions to this, good job

- Alright, I had to back up and pause several time over the cat. Looks like a literal clone of my cat. Do you have any other pictures ??? O_ O

You better answer the phone quickly to the lady in the red dress...or you might get glitch.😂

That was delightful and fun, thank you...

It's amazing you managed to make it so long without catching the main spoiler for the movie. It's so much more fun to go in not knowing.

Lipps wearing the perfect color for this movie. I didnt realize it until the woman in the red dress was on screen. I wasnt so distracted that I didnt notice that rhat they looked pretty similar.😅

You're one of a small number of first time watchers of this film who seem to have a really atypical reaction to the ending - feeling anxious and impatient during the "He is the One" moment where Neo stops the bullets and dispatches Smith. Unfortunately this means you're not experiencing the sheer exhilaration of that climactic sequence - one of the most well-loved in recent modern film history - the way it's meant to be watched. As a result it's stressful watching you react to it. I'd encourage you to rewatch, forget the sentinels (as you're supposed to) and just enjoy the ending.

42:45 "OK! OK! And you could've said it faster in the subway!" - But, as you well know yourself, saying it is hardly ever the issue; ACCEPTING it is!...

has anyone mentioned the Gnostic & Trans-coming out readings of the Matrix series to you yet? the primary writers subsequently became women after Neo learned how to be more like Trinity.

Whats cool about this is that Keanu and the others learned martial arts just for this movie.

So nice seeing you're enjoying yourself. Was a bit worried at first but I'm glad I stuck around to listening to you saying things like...."he can't even reach work on time" haha.

Trivia: When the action 'stops' and the camera seems to circle around the actors is an effect called "Bullet Time." This is the movie that created and introduced that.

using john conners "easy money" is so radical it lit up my heart : D

matrix is mess with your head, this movie is waking you up

You'll never see a better movie in your life.

I think that cat is human. It just waved at me.

My superpower is spotting NPC's I should know, I am one.

hugo weaving, is the charismatic agent. hes a really good actor from Australia

8:51 “Copper top?” Copper top is an old school term for a battery.

little amazing detail at 19:56 ... neo's mind thinks that fighting area is real.. because of this he sweated.. But Morpheous knows this place is a computer program.. Because of this Morpheous didnt sweat when they fought .. Because that is not a real world :)) So amazing detail.. Neo needs to convince his own mind that this place is not real.

i always need to watch a matrix first time reaction! im suprised people havnt seen it its a classic!

The first one is all that you need to watch

Ready for another mind-blowing fact. Terminator is the prequel to the Matrix. Taken from Author Sophia Stewart in 1981 unpublished comic book The Third Eye. The Matrix is in the future, The Terminator is the past. The evolution of consciousness, man versus the machine. Sarah Connor is Neo's mother. John Connor grows up to be Neo. The Terminator machines hear that a child is going to be born that’s going to terminate them in the future when they oppress man.

The reason it's easier to wake up if you're younger as Morpheus eludes to when he says we don't unplug someone after a certain age, is cause the older a person is the more illusionary crap they have attached to, and it's harder to realize everything you held onto was bs. Imagine a tree, it's easier to uproot a small tree then to uproot a great red oak that's been around for 100+ years. If you were a kid and you were shown the truth you would be like oh so the past few years was wrong phew thanks for saving me from going my whole life being wrong, where as if you try and tell a 50 year old their entire life was an illusion and false, they will call you crazy and die attaching to their delusions rather then accept they were wrong, they can't even handle the notion of "what if I was actually wrong my whole life!" that thought causes a paralysis, and terrifies them so they would rather go down with the ship then jump off the sinking ship.

agent smith just wanted to go on vacantion

How do people with anxiety enjoy movies if action scenes make them angry? 😂😂😂

I'm surprised that you're surprised when a beloved classic movie turns out to be good. I mean, we all love those movies because they're good, right? Now, when you go watch a "cult classic" which, by definition, is recognized as not being exceptionally good BUT has a large following of fans anyway, then you might become one of the cult and love it, or you might find it's not really to your liking. The Matrix is not a cult film. It's just plain good, as well as ground-breaking for the technology used to make it at the time it was made (the scene where Neo dodges those bullets as the camera moves around him was the most expensive scene ever filmed).

43:28 Anxiety and excitement are two sides of the same coin....

I've watched all reactions and yours is top tear I will subscribe

21:35 Even the lady in red has a twin here.

I don't understand how the writers/directors couldn't figure out how to do the timing better with Trinity taking her sweet time in the underpass instead of picking up the phone! And getting the end timing better with Squiddys already tearing open the roof of the Ship, yet Neo still takes ages to stop bullets, dive into agent before getting to phone!! EVERY person on planet Earth feels these two stupid ridiculous timing mistakes should have been done better, yet the focus groups and all the film studio people/actors in the screening apparently had no frustration or problem with these two glaring film errors! Apart from those two pretty significant points! It's forever going to be a historic groundbreaking Sci-Fi Masterpiece. 😮

Having the Matrix existential crisis in 2024 is really something wondrous.

¨that means that anyone we havent unplugged is potentially an agent¨ then why the agent didnt take over Neo body the fisrt time morpheus meet him?

Thank you for a a great reaction. Also…yum!

one flaw in this movie - how was cyfer able to plug himself into the matrix and the get out again without any help

Duracell: the copper top battery.

Does cat know you're Mouse-designed? #RedDress

i laughed so hard how you confusingly reacted to neo being called coppertop by switch.

I saw The Matrix in theaters and from the first moment I saw it, it has been one of my favorite films. I consider it a masterpiece.....EXCEPT the end. To this day I hate the ending. Neo was waiting for Trinity to kiss him to accept being The One?!? Comon man. That is really weak writing to have "she loves me" bring Neo back to life. Hate it. Now I love the sequence after he gets up when he starts to fight Smith with such ease he just turns to the side and blocks everything with one hand. That might be my favorite scene in the whole movie. I can still hear the "OHHHH!!" from the crowd in the theater when he did that in my head. But they ruin it again with him flying. HATE THAT. I hate when they OP heroes. They are so much more intriguing when they have weaknesses and flaws and have go beat foes and situations despite them. The moment they had NEO fly he became Superman. And well....SUPERMAN SUCKS because of the very reasons I stated. Heroes that can't be beaten are b o r i n g.

Morpheus, means god of dreams, in Greek. The Nebuchadnezzar was a King in the Bible who had dreams. Their are more Easter eggs 🥚
