Earthquake & The Matrix

I asked my mom about the movie Earthquake and she did recall seeing it in theaters. She didn't have any interesting stories about people fainting or the ceiling falling on the audience, but she did mention the technology which had an impact on her viewing experience. She remembered the surround sound system which was installed in the movie theater and how everything was so loud and intense that the seats shook. Clearly, the technology did as it was intended to if she remembers its effect over 30 years later.

I watched The Matrix after our last class and I thought that it was an extremely complex and interesting movie. The story line was extremely simulating and could not have been realized without the technology they used and  developed. A time freezing photographic technique was used to simulate the slow motion bullet dodging which   the movie is famous for. There had to be some sort of green screen/ animation technology used to create some of the more complex scenes. I've definitely never seen a movie like it before.
