The Matrix
The Matrix is a 1999 science fiction action film written and directed by the Wachowskis. It is the first installment in the Matrix film series, starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Joe Pantoliano, and depicts a dystopian future in which humanity is unknowingly trapped inside the Matrix, a simulated reality that intelligent machines have created to distract humans while using their bodies as an energy source. When computer programmer Thomas Anderson, under the hacker alias “Neo“, uncovers the truth, he joins a rebellion against the machines along with other people who have been freed from the Matrix.
All but a few scenes were filmed at Fox Studios in Sydney, as well as in the city itself, although recognizable landmarks were not included to maintain the impression of a generic American city. The filming helped establish New South Wales as a major film production center. Filming began in March 1998 and wrapped in August 1998; principal photography took 118 days. Some filming also occurred at Culver Studios. Source: Wikipedia

Didn’t know it was filmed in Sydney. How interesting!

Sometimes finding out where they were filmed is even more interesting than the movie. 🙂
This is a film that I haven’t seen.
I’ve got a lot of respect for Keanu. Of course he’s a Canadian boy so that’s why he’s so polite. I hope he keeps us entertained for many years to come.
I hope he does too, Wendy. 🙂
You might enjoy this one. It’s worth the watch. Big healing hugs, my friend. 🙂
I have not seen this movie but would like to my husband refuses to watch anything that science fiction so there’s many movies I haven’t seen.
I’m not the biggest science fiction fan, but this one is a must see. Happy day and rest of the week. A hug to you and scritches to handsome Beau. 🙂
This is another one I’ve never seen. I guess I don’t get out much
We don’t get out much anymore either. We’re good with that. Hugs to you and scritches to Gibbs. 🙂
I haven’t seen this film looks interesting
Have a movietastic week Sandee and thanks for hosting and linking up 👍
I think you’d like it Steve. Have a fabulous day and rest of the week, Steve. 🙂
Nope – I’ve never seen this movie and don’t really care to.
It’s not for everyone, but it’s very popular. Scritches to Duke. 🙂
The Matrix is a great movie. The effects and the premise are super creative. It’s wild to think it’s 25 years old already!
Have a wonderful Wednesday, Sandee. Thank you for hosting!
It is a great movie and it’s hard to believe it’s that old. Time marches on. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
I love the whole series. In the last year they are presented again and again. Now I interpret them in a different way, related to our reality. I heard a saying that these old movies, science fiction ones, were vectors for the future. I reevaluate this idea…
Hugs, dear Sandee! Happy WW and a fine week ahead!❤️😘
I’m happy you love this series, Suzana. I’m having fun putting it together each week. Hugs, my friend. 🙂
I saw this movie and two sequels years ago. I loved the first movie. I’ve been a reader of SF since I was 10 years old and this was a good one. Sorry, I somehow entered my blog twice; feel free to delete the second link. Alana ramblinwitham
The first one is always the best. Not to worry about linking up twice. I always go through and make sure there is just one link. It happens all the time. Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. 🙂
Mom never saw this movie either. She really isn’t into movies but she says it is always amazing how they make films to take place somewhere but the actual filming was somewhere totally different.
It is amazing how we think a movie is filmed somewhere and we find out later it was filmed somewhere else. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Interesting info about the movie, Sandee. I’ve never seen it but it got rave reviews! Happy Wednesday!
It did get rave reviews and rightly so. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. Hugs. 🙂
Hugs back, Sandee! 😊
Can’t believe I have never seen this one. Thanks for hosting. have a nice day. XO
You’re most welcome, Ellen. Love to you and scritches to all the kitties. 🙂
I haven’t seen that one either but I might have to fix that!
It’s fun to search for popular movies. Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
That was quite an interesting, original film, and a lot of the ideas in it have been reused in other films and books.
That’s very true. Happy Wordless Wednesday. Did everyone have to much chocolate yesterday? 🙂
I never saw The Matrix…now that we have Prime video it might be time to check it out
I like Keanu Reeves
Hugs Cecilia
It’s most entertaining. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂
Believe I have seen the TV series but not the movie ~ it is fascinating ~
Hugs to you and your family from me and Ziggy, ^_^
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

It pretty deep. I think you’d like it. Happy WW and rest of the week. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
Honestly, I don’t believe I have ever seen a Matrix film.
It’s worth the watch. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
The Matrix never gets old — always something new to catch with every watch. Didn’t realize so much was filmed in Sydney, though!
Happy Wednesday, Sandee!
You’re right about that, Veronica. We’re going to watch it too. 🙂
Another huge favorite of mine. I have lost count how many times I watched this movie when it first came out. Great acting and the science fiction aspect was very well done in my opinion. As always Sandee thank you for highligthing all my favs movies…Happy Wordless Wednesday
I agree with you, Suzette. I love this movie too. Going to watch it again. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Hugs. 🙂
Enjoy! Happy Wordless Wednesday Sande. Blessings to you. Have a great rest of your week too!
Sounds like an interesting movie, Sandee, but we haven’t seen it…yet😸😸Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day and wonderful week ahead to you and the kitties too🐾😽💞
It’s an old movie, but still just as exciting. Double Pawkisses to the kitties and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
Another one Mom has never seen.
There are many that I’ve not seen, but doing these movie post each week is making me check out movies I’ve not see. Some I’ve seen and are watching again. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Did not know it was filmed in Sydney. Very interesting. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
Thank for linking up, Patrick. Always most appreciated and it’s always great to see you. 🙂
I never saw this movie, but it looks pretty good. I do like science fiction.
Happy mid-week Wednesday! <3
It’s a great movie. I love all the information too. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Barbara. 🙂
One of my husband’s favorite movie collections!!
I hear you. A great collection. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
I can’t believe how many commenters have said they’ve not seen it! Actually, I haven’t either!
I’m surprised about that too, Keith. I love your avatar. I love the glass of wine in your hand. 🙂
Tasty!
Thanks, Sandee, for hosting weekly, love to visit here, and may you have a splendid week.

“There must be a glitch in the matrix!” is a common comment ’round Eastside Cats…when something has gone wrong…hehehehe…
I love it. Well done. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
A great movie. I always liked Keanu Reeves. Have a great Wednesday and rest of the week!
That makes two of us, Yvonne. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
It was filmed near my work so we all knew. Middle of town. Excitement wore off very quickly. Did love the film tho….
I hear you. When they do films it disrupts everything. 🙂
Cool movie
Very cool movie indeed. Happy day and rest of the week, Ruby Rose. 🙂
Keanu Reeves is definitely a class act. I expect he’ll be working behind the camera within the next few years and still bring us amazing art. Hugs, my dear.
I’m guessing you’re right about that. He’s earned that right. Hugs. 🙂
thanks for reminding me of that film! I want to rewatch it!
I want to re-watch it too. Healing scritches to Zulu. 🙂
Another great one. You and Mr. Zane have a fabulous rest of the week and scritches to the kitties.
Thank you, my friend. You and Mr. Sweetie have a fabulous day and rest of the week. 🙂
Our Dad must know every line in all of that series. He has watched them so many times. And Mom is not a fan at all!!!
Woos – Misty and Timber
Your dad rocks.:)
Keanu Reeves is one of the most interesting and kind people in Hollywood. So down to earth and a major kind human and philanthropist who’s extremely genuine.
You’re right about that. Bravo. Scritches to the pups and a hug to you. 🙂
My oldest son was a Matrix fan. I like Reeves. Point Break was probably my favorite that he was in, but he had some others that were good too. Speed. Lake House. I’m sure there are some I’m not thinking of off the top of my head. 🙂 Hope all is well there. Give the kitties a little pet for me. 🙂
All is well here and I’ll give the kitties pets from you. Hugs. 🙂
I didn’t know it was filmed in Sydney. I’m not a big science fiction fan; but I liked the people in this movie
I didn’t know that either. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Wow! Great choice! Happy Wednesday, and have a great week and week-end.
Hugs and love,
I thought so too, Ann. I’m so happy you’re playing along this week. Love and hugs. 🙂
Another EPICALLY EPIC movie! Happy Friday Sandee, thank mew furry much for adding the BBHQ News this week, we so appreciate it! Wishing mew a totally furbulous weekend! 🐾🐾
Great to see you, my friend. I’m glad you linked up, too. Yes it’s an Epically Epic movie. Have a great day and weekend. Scritches to all the kitties and a big hug to you. 🙂
Surprisingly, dad hasn’t seen any of The Matrix series of films.
They are great movies. Happy day and week. 🙂
