opening to the matrix (1999)

in this opening sequence editing and visual effects are used to great effect in emphasising the sci-fi aspect of the film.
this opening sequence has been recognised as one of the greatest openings to an action film in history; though this is a bold statement in some ways i would agree as it uses all the elements necessary for the building of tension and the effects of combat, i am referring to the well co-ordinated camera movement and slow motion impacts that were pioneered by the film.
