Juno Reactor fan here. I even like their latest effort, particularly Tanta Pena. I was lucky enough to see them perform live sometime last year. I recorded the drop from Conquistador I into II on my camera, and have been wanting to upload it for a while now but I'm lazy.
They're what got me into this whole dance music thing. My first experience was watching a PvP video from Vanilla WoW, a decked out shaman wrecking shit with Pistolero (Fluke "Hang 'Em High" Remix) bumping in the background. It was after I exhausted their available discography at the time that I delved into Infected Mushroom and then eventually Oakenfold, the vans, and Tiesto. In retrospect I realize my nascent tastes are better than what came after 
I agree that they have a cinematic (which dips into video game-esque) element to them, which is probably what I like in their sound. Jardin De Cecile reeks of a Final Fantasy 7 influence, I think the theme for the mako reactors in Midgar.
Feel the Universe & Man to Ray are probably the only trance tracks I've always liked despite whatever phases I've gone through...unicorns/dutch, deep haus, mnml, prog, psy, etc.
