I’m a fan, of at least the first two movies.
Didn’t really care much for the third.
But this 4th installment looks pretty good

1996 I was with DEC and had been working with Mass Illusions (a studio which did a lot of the shots of the city in Judge Dredd). I’d gotten our server guys and the workstation guys to put together a couple of Alpha chip powered systems. When we got there everyone was walking around outside of the back of the sound stage. There was a rig with IIRC 16 35mm SLR cameras in a big spiral. A guy in an orange pilot’s suit stepped into pair of lace up boots which had hinges on the heels. The director shouted roll em and the guy fell backwards onto a air bag. The guys I was working with at the studio said it was creating something called “bullet time”. That is how Agent Smith dodged the bullets. We had to sign an NDA since the patent hadn’t been granted yet. The two brothers were watching intensely. There were video cameras which gave a crude version of the effect. Not nearly as cool as the filmed version.
