The Red Pill or the Blue Pill? THE MATRIX Screens Midnights This Weekend at The Tivoli

“Never send a human to do a machine’s job.”

THE MATRIX plays midnights this weekend (September 15th and 16th) at the Tivoli as part of their Reel Late at the Tivoli Midnight series. 

Written and directed by the Wachowski Brothers 9now sisters), THE MATRIX (1999) was a hug hit – a high-tech, edge-of-your-seat, heart-pounding sci-fi action thriller, that everyone went back to see a second time to understand what the heck was going on! THE MATRIX talks about a future like no other, so technologically advanced that we don’t know if it’s real or not. Everyone is in the middle of a simulated reality to subdue the human population. A computer hacker, under the name of “Neo”, portrayed by Keanu Reeves, is drawn into this rebellion, and fight off against the machines. I’m a fan of big sci-fi action thrillers that make you pay attention throughout. THE MATRIX is one of the best examples. The casting is golden, from Keanu Reeves’ performance that left his signature as an actor, to Lawrence Fishburne as the mysterious leader of the Matrix, Morpheus. Hugo Weaving and Carrie-Annie Moss round up the supporting cast, and they perform just fine. But, my favorite thing about this movie, was all the incredible technological advantages that were added. THE MATRIX is filled with groundbreaking editing, fast-paced cinematography, astounding sound effects, and the jaw-dropping visual effects that are still memorable to this day. That slow-motion gun bullet scene is still quite memorable, you know! From the sharp well-written script, the incredible acting, the groundbreaking visual effects, to the smart directing of the Wachowskis, THE MATRIX is truly a favorite for all cinema lovers. It’s a fun, non-stop, and exciting motion picture that will take away the 136-minute run time quickly so be sure to check it ou this weekend at The Tivoli.

Now you can experience some Neo madness when THE MATRIX plays on the big screen this weekend (September 15th and 16th) at the Tivoli as part of their Reel Late at the Tivoli Midnight series.
