I'm probably just a little older than you guys then since I did see the original Matrix in the theater, it was right after my freshman year of college. Not to sound like an angry boomer, but seeing a movie like that not knowing anything about it other than seeing the trailer and a maybe reading a review in my local paper made it better. It was more mind blowing when you saw it. I did go see it in the theater last fall as well, it's one of those movies that's way better on the big screen and it still holds up. Both the effects and the movie itself.
Also, I remember seeing Reloaded on IMAX. That's the only way to watch the freeway chase.
Alas, I was too young to see the first in theaters. At least I got to see the Dolby Cinema re-release not too long ago!
