What I found interesting about the movie when I first saw it was, besides the "OHHH" "AHHHH" factor was the subtle implications in several strange "out of place" parts of the movie.
I always enjoy watching the background over the main focus of most situations, personal quirk, and what grabbed me from the movie after the FX is what grabs me from movies like "Forbidden Planet" for example... The attention to details: you remember in "Forbidden Planet" the part where they finally land on the planet and they discover its a huge battery of sorts and there-¦s a nice handpainted still of a sci-fi futuristic building? That scene is burned in my head. i highly enjoy old Sci-fi movies when they actually cared to add these touches of "Art".
Well, for me that-¦s what grabbed me from the Matrix.
I get totally frustrated when I see books being read/used in movies, I know they are there for a reason and try hard to read the title.
Well, Neo in the first Matrix has his stuff in a hollowed out book, guess what book was that one? ...
Also I totally enjoyed the "Follow the Rabbit" concept.
I was slowly understanding, besides the obvious awesome kick from Trinity, I was going in for a ride of the mind.
Lots of people have discussed AD NAUSEAM the subtly or not so subtly philosophical overtones of the movie, but for me, what did it was the "occult" imagery of well established Journeys.
Red and Blue, Oracles, Architects, Doors, Automatons, Twins, Humanity extinguished, reborn and rebuilt, Cycles, etc, etc, etc.
They single handedly managed to pour well developed concepts to tell a story pushing the envelope of the time. It-¦s a "classic" now because of that.
What completely ruins it up though (and this is my personal opinion alone), is how they DIVERGED from a specific point they started in Movie one and diluted for WHATEVER reasons in Movie 3.
Also Twin Peaks is visually astounding, and sometimes, script is secondary and even detrimental to the visual story being represented, then again, a matter of taste, 
Cheers!
