The Matrix - Trailer

submitted by michie

1 decade 7 years 1 month ago

The Matrix is a science fiction / action film written and directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski and starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano and Hugo Weaving. It was first released in the USA on March 31, 1999, and is the first entry in the Matrix series of films, comics, video games and animation.

The film describes a future in which the world is actually the Matrix, a simulated reality created by sentient machines in order to pacify, subdue and make use of the human population as an energy source by growing them and connecting them to the Matrix with cybernetic implants. It contains numerous references to the cyberpunk and hacker subcultures; philosophical and religious ideas, including Vedanta, messianism and Socratic, Cartesian, and Platonic idealism; and homages to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Hong Kong action movies and Japanese animation.

Someone should post SuperBowl version. That is when I first saw and got interested in this movie.

okay i admit a certain element of easy votes for a popular film. but this wasn't even sifted ! and its a great addition to 'sci-fi fandom'

this movie is so ******* epic...
I only wish they would have made a spin-off series along the lines of Dark Angel, following a crew and continued the story that way.. (that way we wouldn't get the insanely crazy neo-fights in the series )

tried following the story a bit in the games (MxO, Enter the Matrix, path of neo), but as usual, games based on movies doesn't allways end up on the same level.
