Woah, a matrix movie came out… wait, four years ago?
- cadamsdotcom 2y agoBetter to keep living like they only made 3 Matrix films :)
- bee_rider 2y agoOnly two actually, and one of them was an anime.
- moomin 2y agoThis is the correct answer. It will never cease to disappoint me that 2&3 didn’t go in one of the many interesting directions implied by the Animatrix.
- plantain 2y ago3?! I prefer to live like there were only 2.
- arduanika 2y agoRandall would maintain there's only the 1. https://xkcd.com/566/ https://xkcd.com/566/
- defrost 2y agoand Dark City was its name? On a serious not The Matrix was a fine film with fantastic effects but on a scale of Punch & Depth per $ spent on production Dark City delivered more bang per buck.
- WorldMaker 2y agoDark City was a famous budgeting disaster because it spent way too much on sets and went rather over-budget, then did the terrible thing of not making that much money in the box office. The Matrix was able to spend so much of its budget on effects and effects innovation precisely because it got handed so many of Dark City's way too expensive sets trying to recoup some of the costs of Dark City. They are definitely related, and I also think Dark City was the better version of Matrix 1 on a storytelling and aesthetics level, Matrix's innovative effects aside, but then I like all of the Matrix sequels a lot more than I like the first Matrix film.
- echelon 2y agoWatch the first half of it, then turn it off. If you like late 90's / early 2000's M. Night Shyamalan, the first half of the film is brilliant. But after the reveal it falls apart like the last season of Game of Thrones. It's as if Lana stopped caring. It would have been fantastic to have timed it with the release of the Matrix MMO game. It's as if that had been the plan all along.
