interesting facts, but narration was incredibly annoying. "matrix" shouldn't sound like "mattress"...

i trust spielberg to be heavy handed and this looks as heavy handed as ever. plus extraordinarily cynical with the use of all the warner IP used (iron giant, matrix, nightmare on elm st., akira, back to the future, etc.) and a completely incoherent trailer.

Democracy is ALWAYS the lesser of two evils. No candidate (even St Bernie) is perfect .

Look at France. They've just elected Emmanuel Macron. Nobody has much a clue who this guy was yet he won nearly 2/3 of the vote. Why? Because the other option was Marine Le fucking Pen, someone who makes Trump look inclusive. Although at least she could string a sentence together, even if it was generally openly evil.

The point is that given the choice between mediocrity and evil, you be a grown up about it and choose mediocrity. Yeah, it sucks, but life sucks sometimes... deal with it. If you decide to "let the system burn", then you and your matrix trenchcoat that you thought was cool in 99 deserve everything you get.

The Matrix is my Star Wars. Green tinted nostalgia has me looking back upon even the sequels and the atrocious video game tie-ins favourably.

Couldn't agree more! The writer is pretty fresh and the director(s) are stunt guys. Beyond that, I don't know much about the production, but both John Wick and John Wick 2 are precise and well choreographed gunfu with elements of the Matrix/Indigo Prophecy, Hitman, Assassin's Creed, Bruce Lee movies, and on and on. Star power, as well.

I have Jack Reacher (same writer as Usual Suspects), John Wick, Collateral (Michael Mann), and Jason Bourne in the same stack.

In 2002, when I was studying film I had a chance to listen to Doug Liman, the director of The Bourne Identity talk about the making of the film. He hadn't really done much at the time, but now he's in the thick of these highly stylized, star powered, accurate (bullet count, stunts, etc.) Action flicks.

Clearly everything is The Matrix though. Don't believe me?

Hamlet = The Matrix
Dark City = The Matrix
The New Testament = The Matrix
Plato's Allegory of the Cave = The Matrix
When Harry Met Sally = The Matrix
The last Presidential election = Idiocracy
...
The Invisibles = The Matrix
I do not really exist, I am merely a construct meant to distract you from the truth of your existence... = The Matrix

I rest my case.

matrix = ghost in the shell.

Really Lion king is Hamlet. Matrix seemed pretty similar to dark city to me (and also the guy who wrote that article).

Didn't think i could appreciate the Matrix more than i did. I was wrong

That's how you make an action film. *quality real world effects.
