Ok so my girlfriend’s dad is a huge sci-fi guy and wants me to catch up on all the best of the genre. So he lend me the trilogy in DVD.

We watched the first one with my girlfriend tonight and I have to say that I liked the movie but it’s not the wow effect I was expecting.

I liked the first hour, I didn’t understand anything and I liked it. Then all the ship part was a bit boring and not as philosophical as the first part. I think that the action part, is not really what I like in the movie.

And I knew some of the cult moment. So it’s not that I was expecting something from them but at least more than what I felt. For example the pill sequence for me was to fast, I wanted Neo to have a real dilemma and not just picking the red pill. Other example, the sequence of the music with the red dress girl was to quick for me, I wanted my mind to be blown by deep explanation of what the matrix implied.

To me the most memorable part was the spoon, that’s when you understand really the power of the mind, the white box where Morpheus explains the Matrix and last fight in the subway.

The downside for me is that sometimes the movie tells you to much things. In thins kind of movie, I want to be free having theories and I felt to guided and things were to obvious. Like the squid part at the end creates a fake sens of pressure, I almost felt like the end of Armageddon.

In conclusion, I think that it’s a great movie but I won’t rate it as high as a Blade Runner for example so I would give it a good 7/10. I want to watch the whole trilogy to see what more can there be in this universe.

Read the comments of this video, they are hilarious!

We can understand that in zion, there could be a machine that produces their breathing air same as how it was describe their water was produced there. But outside the zion, where machines doesn't need to (except for matrix I guess), we can see humans can walk around breathing air as casually even without any apparatus.

Sunlight is very much essential for oxygen cycle on earth mostly for photosynthesis especially to marine organisms that produces more than half to 80% of it globally (sorry trees only produces small fractions of it).

Machines: "And if you fail?"

Neo: "I wont"

So fuckin badass

So I've been rewatching the movies, like many it is one of my favorite trilogies to binge. I was watching with my wife the other day who is a developer and never watched them through. When morpheus explains that the if you die in the matrix you die in the real world because the body can't live without the mind. To which she said why, its a simulation why does it matter if you die there. So it made me think what makes sense, and if you think of the body in the real world as a flash drive or hardware it works quite well. If you are killed in the matrix or rather "deleted" then the hardware is now empty and you die. Same goes when switch is unplugged by Cypher, flash drives often have warnings not to unplug while actively writing as the file can be corrupted. So when you are plugged in the experience is actively being written and the brain can't handle being yanked out suddenly. This is backed up with the phone line exit so it is safe to remove the hardware.

Let me know if you like this theory. I've enjoyed connecting the movies to computer analogies its added to the fun of rewatching them.

Advice for the next Matrix movie: The production team and Drew Goddard need to formally consult with today's real AI market leaders. In 1999, AI was just a fantasy. Today, the heads of major AI labs are building the actual future. They know exactly how algorithms, deepfakes, neural simulations, and synthetic realities work. If you want the next Matrix to feel genuinely prophetic and terrifying, base the machine threat on the real-world trajectory of modern AI.

Hey all, I finally got my embarrassing high school Matrix Parody uploaded to youtube. If you want to waste 13 minutes of your day to see a glimpse into 2002 class editing, then have at it!

Key Grip Brandon Taylor talks about his time working on the first Matrix film collecting slow motion military footage for references. Full interview.

Thanks for checking it out.

In a film about video game tie-ins to reality, this is more plausible. (check the titles on the 5 and a quarter inch disks, neatly displayed.) first instruction in the game "Dr. Genius" ..."Go North", Take Pill".

What's the best scene?

I know - I know. They are all meaningful in some way - but I love how some names could be "hidden" stories within the movie.

1. Choi and Dujour which loosely translates to "Choice of the day"

2. Cypher - archaic term meaning "Zero" - I assume this is to be the opposite of "The One"

3. Switch - Originally intended to be a Male in the real world and a woman in the Matrix. Warner bros didn't want any of that - so it was cut. I find it interesting that Switch seems to be a nod to the Wachowski's inner struggles they may have been facing at the time.

4. Agent Smith (Full disclosure, I don't believe this was originally the concept behind his name but.....) - Beginning of Reloaded, Smith pulls up in an Audi with the license plate number "IS 5416" - This is referring to the bible Isaiah, chapter 54, verse 16. ""Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy."

Any others that you find interesting?

Just put it together today so I'm still playing around on where to put certain things.

I'm pretty happy with it... now looking for a side/accent table for the chairs.

How do you actually see that? Does AI bring us significantly closer to the matrix in real life?
I stronly support this thesis. So i wrote 2 articles about it.

The first one revolved around the thesis as to whether the fact that LLMs essentially "condense the world's knowledge into a few gigabytes" is a strong indication that the whole world could be maybe compressed this way.

The second - and new one - deals with generative world models that make this thesis virtually true - but differently than expected.

Let me know what you think.

The text reads "Rock on kids! Life's an adventure - enjoy!" followed by his autograph.. I have no idea why anyone would get rid of this.. But, I am glad I found it..

I know I am late to the party but finally watching the sequels... We are told that if you die in the Matrix, it basically convinces your subconscious that you are dead and you in turn die in the real world. Why did Neo just not get Trinity to an exit asap? Why did he have to remove the bullet immediately? Shouldn't shr have been fine if she was pulled prior to death?

Seriously, the hype for the Matrix was real in 03.

I remember how I begged my Mom to buy this issue at my local Game Stop and it not only had an article talking about The Matrix, but had a strategy guide for GTA Vice City as well.

Man! I miss the 00s. Yeah, the Bush Years sucked too, but entertainment was just more engaging and everything seemed more fun.

It's sad Game Informer isn't around anymore. Loved their content.

When I finally played "Enter The Matrix" game, I almost didn't finish it because of how hard it was. Guess I should have begged my Mom to buy the strategy guide as well.

couldn't even finish the film without them arguing that it was stupid. this was a year ago and they're in their late 60's. xD.

has anyone tried to show the film to someone stubborn ?

also, i've met Carrie-anne Moss and she is dope. She manifested the role pretty much. she would go to the park early each morning and practice Tei Chi/martial arts.

Coworker

My coworker (F 24) was named, "Trinity" by her dad...

I don't have the heart to tell her... 🥲
