Blade and Lost in Space both used it in '98, and other variations were used even earlier in commercials and music videos. The Matrix was just the first huge success that used it, so that's what brought it to everyone's attention.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-78679020062227527962012-09-24T08:59:22.862-06:002012-09-24T08:59:22.862-06:00Didn't make it to any movie this weekend, but ...Didn't make it to any movie this weekend, but I've heard amazing things about this reboot (aside from your gushing comments, of course :)David P.
