In terms of quality, I would probably do Matrix > Animatrix > Matrix 2 > Matrix 3 > Matrix Online (lolol).

I enjoyed the matrix series. You gotta figure though, the stuf that made the brothers stand out was nto the story, but the cinematography of the movies, especially the first movie which introduced that still photography in a series to film the fight scenes. It was revolutionary and groundbreaking at the time.

Wasn't there accusations that Wachowski's stole the idea for the first Matrix movie? Have they made anything worth a shit since?

Driving to go see it with my kids (age 13) right now. We will see if they or I like it at all. Unfortunately 3D is the best showing time for us.

There was but I read up on it, and the main accusation is from like some short story that sounds like any generic monomyth, I think the same person also tried to sue Cameron for T2 or something (could be wrong). Just rewatched the Matrix and some people say that Dark City movie, and eXistenZ all had the same "idea" but not really, they are so not on the same level as the Matrix.

The Matrix seemed more like an action movie placed over a cyberpunk bible. Allegory is hardly new but, at least for the 1st movie, it was done fairly well for its time.

I was like 12 in 1999, so specifically it struck a cord


What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?



Doesn't everyone 13-17 born in the era saturated with media of Demi Gods, think there's some way to break free of human constraints. Who doesn't want to be a "Super Saiyan" ?

Its not an original thought, except to the person who just thought of it for the first time.

I'm still looking for that extra dimensional logic chain that will lead me into a higher plane of existence sir.

Since Lana is around, they haven't done anything good.
They are like one hit wonders.

I really don't get the negative vibes on this movie. I really enjoyed this movie even with a slow middle and an ending that left me wanting more of an explanation.

What more to the ending did you want? It was a classic Disney channel TV movie ending. The girl gets all these riches and power and then realizes she just wants to be Cinderella scrubbing the toilets ....

Seriously the worst writing, terrible space opera scenes, ridiculous "aliens" just to enhance the budget, scratchy throat bad guy, ridiculously stupid costumes, and an overall bad premise.
