The Matrix
In the 1990s, CGI was an emerging technology, and The Matrix utilized it in a way that was far more involved than anything audiences had seen before. The film combined traditional props and effects with what was then considered state-of-the-art digital technology. It is best known for popularizing a visual effect known as "bullet time," which allows a shot to progress in slow-motion while the camera moves through the scene at what appears to be real-time speed.
