Default Re: Why I can\'t love The Matrix

The Matrix is a fun, unpretentiously pulpy, little sci-fi movie that plays with the question "how do you know your reality is real and not a dream?" To stage that question as a reality you are asked to buy a simple premise. Like most such devices, the backstory of that premise may not be terribly convincing. But that's price you pay for the ride. If the ride's good, then the price is fair. The Matrix is definitely worth the price, IMO.

The other two are a bunch of pretentious claptrap, IMO.

Don't be a nit. It's okay if you don't like the movie.
