The only explanation I can give for the Matrix being viewed as a cult movie
is because no one and nothing short of the technology and the film itself
received ANY kind of massive recognition for it. Reeves, Moss, Fishburn et
al are not bigger stars than they were prior. However, the FILM is HUGE!!!
Even Charlie's Angel's gave it a nod in action sequences. At least, that is
what people say when they leave: "I didn't like it. It was too 'Matrixed
out.'" I can't even begin to list the films I have seen that reference the
Matrix. We see it as big because it IS big. And that is my two cents.
