But how. Honestly, I remember seeing the first movie in the cinema and that moment, where Neo "sees the code"... Honestly that's movie magic. Goosebumps. Weirdly I kinda forgive all of the sins of the franchise just for that one bit, and similar to my point above, I don't think they ever quite reached those heights again (I think there was a conscious attempt, the bit in Revolutions where they see the sky, but it didn't hit that note).
