sorry, i should have picked a lower resolution poster image whoops (e: fixed)
Also holy shit this movie still kicks so much ass. I rewatched it recently and i was blown away by how excellent it still is 25 years later. Most movies do not age this well.
I think the worst CGI in the whole trilogy, is when Neo fights the many Smiths in reloaded and even then it’s a great scene and you could handwave it as the Matrix failing to render everyone completely due to the strain from what they’re doing.
Yeah that looked like shit even when it came out. IIRC it was the first of its kind, though. The software they used was the best available and made specifically for Reloaded. Subsequent films outside the franchise would use improved versions of the same tech, which is why they don’t look like garbage.
