The Matrix - Style and Substance (page 4)

The sound effects also raise the stakes by making the robots seem more powerful than the humans. For instance, when the sentinels attack the Nebechunezer, the movements of the machines are accompanied by loud, futuristic sounds. On the other hand, when the humans are shown, the scene is painfully silent. This difference in sound effects shows the machines superiority over the humans.

For those who complain the genre of science fiction is vacuous eyes candy, THE MATRIX will change their minds. Through writing, directing, cinematography, and sound effects, the Wachowski brothers dazzle the senses while telling an incredible story. They succeeded in making one of the most visually stunning pictures of all time, while not forgetting the real power behind a film; its story. The Wachowski brothers were able to create a science fiction film with universal appeal.
