And another thing, The Matrix had excellent timing. Gibson & Stephenson had been writing about alternate reality / cyberspace for years but this movie fits better into the framework we were seeing starting to unfold then. Everything was happening so fast and many felt life as they knew it was getting away from them and somehow you could trace it to the internet. I can recall the trepidation many of my coworkers had about it bordering on outright fear as it was changing so many of their formerly well understood processes and business concepts. The Matrix played off that, whether intentional or not. It was a perfect fit for that time and is a wonderful sci-fi romp.
