The Matrix ranks third in my list of 'wow' moments in the cinema. Joint first is the opening of Saving Private Ryan, and brontosaurus (?) in the true-dinosaur scene of Jurassic Park (not the raptor eggs bit). SPR's opening was just visceral, especially on a huge cinema screen. And Jurassic Park's use of the subwoofer meant you really felt that first scene. FWIW Lost in Space, the year before the Matrix had 'bullet time' in it and no-one seems to remember that.
