Keanu Reeves ushered in a new era in the 1999 movie The Matrix.

I was in Mexico City when The Matrix came out, and Trinity had me at the first frame of that kick we experienced in 360 degrees. It was my last year of high school and I was contemplating a degree in cinematography, so this movie opened my mind to a whole new visual effects universe. I remember spending long hours chatting with my friends about the camera angles and stunts and eagerly considering if we would take the blue or red pill. Morpheus' "bring it on" hand gesture became part of our slang and I'll never look at a spoon the same way.
