I’ve been waiting for you these films
mixed cyberpunk philosophy and religion
with sci-fi revolutionary special
effects and guns lots of guns oh shit
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
moments from the Matrix trilogy all did
you defeat and bothered another set of
critical now to create democracies like
wiping your ass with when this franchise
started in 1999 it took the world by
storm and influenced action and
science-fiction movies for years to come
for this list we’re looking at those
moments that left us breathless
speechless amazed or any other positive
adjectives you can think of if she has
so she can every one of us also we’re
only looking at the three major releases
for this list so moments from the
Animatrix or the video games have been
excluded stop teasing me this would also
be a good time to issue a spoiler alert
so here goes spoiler alert with all that
said let’s take the red pill and get to
it all I’m offering is the truth nothing
number ten I think we’re gonna handle
one little girl the opening the matrix
kicking off our list is also the moment
that kicked off the whole franchise in
which Trinity is on the run from both
cops and agents this scene is memorable
because it introduces the audience to
many aspects that would make the matrix
famous including the stop time kick to
the cop for running on the walls and
Trinity and the agent jumping across an
impossibly large gap between two
buildings
as the cop says possible we think so too
but as it stands so far in the film we
haven’t seen anything yet
number nine the battle for Zion the
Matrix Revolutions we all knew this
battle was coming and we were not
disappointed in the third and final
matrix installment when the machines get
word of where the remaining humans of
the real world are hiding out they
attack
but the humans are ready with a little
help from their giant mech suits what
follows is a battle of epic proportions
with sentinels falling to the ground
humans getting killed and lots of blood
and carnage the dingy setting of Zion
helps add to the dreary mood of the
battle and the battle itself is one we
will not forget anytime soon number
eight neo meets the Oracle the matrix
very smash boom after finding out the
truth about bending spoons neo meets the
Oracle in this charming scene to
discover what his future holds and to
find out whether or not he is the fabled
one not quite but you were expected
right
unfortunately for him the news is not so
great you already know what I’m going to
tell you I’m not the one sorry kid the
moment is unforgettable
due to the cozy atmosphere of the
Oracles kitchen and how starkly it
contrasts with the news that Neil is not
the one and that either he or Morpheus
will die one it was going to die
which one will be up to you
Gloria foster plays the role to
perfection with her soothing voice and
grandmotherly persona as evidenced by
her freshly baked goods and the children
she keeps in her apartment I’m sorry
kiddo I really have you have a good soul
and I hate giving good people bad number
seven the final showdown
The Matrix Revolutions me I’ll promise
Smith that it would end tonight and boy
did he deliver in this final fight neo
and the agent battle for control of the
matrix and the free world and what a
battle it is filled with epic moments
and extravagant displays of action this
scene definitely meets expectations the
fight has it all from martial arts
combat at the beginning to a Superman
style err fight and even mass
destruction in the form of the crater in
the road
it’s a special-effects extravaganza and
one that ends the action part of the
series on a high and who can forget
those Hugo Weaving ‘he’s all those Hugo
Weaving
number 6 I don’t come for the matrix
show me in this scene
neo has just recently been programmed
with the knowledge of kung-fu and mentor
Morpheus wants to test him what you must
learn is that these rules are no
different than the rules of a computer
system some of them can be bent the
Eastern style of fighting proved to be
hugely influential to Hollywood in
subsequent action films including the
sequel in which neophytes Sarah
featuring terrific stunts such as
Morpheus jumping and possibly high into
the air
neo running up the beam and ending with
neo moving equally and impossibly fast
the twosomes time in the dojo doesn’t
only work as a teaser for things to come
but is also a great scene by itself
trying to free your mind neo but I can
only show you the door
you’re the one that has to walk through
it number five the subway fight the
matrix what is he doing he’s beginning
to believe this is when we really see
neo coming into his own when confronted
by Agent Smith neo doesn’t run instead
he turns to face him in battle and
begins to realize his true potential
it’s a stunning moment but what follows
is even better enjoy the fight is
probably the most brutal in the series
with Smith punching through concrete and
making neo spit up blood the brutality
of the scene coupled with some amazing
choreography and the famous slow-motion
gun battle in midair make the subway
battle an absolute must for this list
empty number four the freeway chase the
Matrix Reloaded you always told me to
stay off the freeway
that’s true terrible suicide when let us
hope
that I was wrong
when Morpheus group rescues the
key-maker
they must make a hasty retreat and they
do it in the only way the filmmakers
behind the matrix know how featuring
some stunning scenes like Trinity riding
down the freeway in the wrong direction
and Morpheus is fight atop a moving
truck this Chase has violence slow
motion and explosions galore this scene
was so intricate that the producers
built a one and a half mile freeway on
an old decommissioned runway to allow
them to shoot everything to their
imaginations content and give us one
hell of an action scene in the process
number three the lobby shootout the
matrix in what would become one of the
most famous and parodied shootouts in
cinema neo and Trinity begin their quest
to save Morpheus from the agents
in the lobby of the building they have a
shootout with security guards and SWAT
and the result is mesmerizing with
state-of-the-art camera work we watch as
the parachutes in slow motion does
cartwheels while shooting and runs up
walls to dodge being shot at
it was unlike anything seen in an action
movie before and became wildly popular
and influential oh and by the way except
for the removing of the wire work no CGI
was used in the filming of the scene
impressive much we think so number 2 neo
becomes the one the matrix in this
striking scene neo rises from the dead
and becomes the prophesized one able to
free the humans and defeat the machines
once and for all
what makes this moment work so well is a
combination of many aspects including
Trinity’s declaration of love
the swelling music and the breathtaking
sight of neo stopping the bullets in
their tracks simply by raising his hand
the fact that he goes on to defeat Smith
one-handed is just icing on the cake
it’s a beautiful ending and beginning
all-in-one before we unveil our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions
who are you I am the architect I created
the matrix
the great Morpheus we meet upon us – did
you are a Smith number one bullet time
the matrix I am Emma destroyed I yes
this is truly the series most defining
moment when confronted with an agent neo
tries what he can and ends up dodging
bullets
the scene is famous for the 360 degree
camera work the slow motion sound
effects and Neil’s move itself creating
one of the most memorable scenes in
cinema when audiences saw this in 1999
they saw the future of the entertainment
industry as the scene was endlessly
copied and parodied thereafter further
cementing its Worth and influence in
movie history forever
there was certainly no dodging this
always soon
