The Matrix tops magazine’s list of best sci-fi
Posted on 07. May, 2007 by Luciana in Articles
The Matrix, the action-packed science fiction film starring Keanu Reeves, sits atop a list of the best science-fiction movies or TV programs of the past 25 years.
The editors of Entertainment Weekly have ranked the hit 1999 film No. 1 in the issue headed for newsstands Monday.
Editors describe the ultra-stylish, ultra-violent film as “unexpected, groundbreaking, and capture-the-imagination entertaining as the first Star Wars” and “a multi-megabyte compression of mythological and theological ideas, Hong Kong action-film aesthetics, and videogame special effects.”
Directed by brothers Larry and Andy Wachowski, The Matrix popularized the use of the “bullet time” visual effect, where a scene appears in slow-motion, with the camera apparently orbiting a central object at normal speed, as well as wire-assisted martial arts battle scenes commonly used in Asian cinema.
The film ultimately won Oscars for its visual effects, sound, film editing and sound effects editing.
The full list, with a short tribute to each entry, is posted on the Entertainment Weekly website.
