A hacker learns reality is not as it appears.

A sci-fi ripoff of elements of Lucid dreaming, with elements taken from the Neuromancer/Shadowrun "cyberpunk" genres.

A pioneering movie for special effects, which have held up quite well, and its general pot and atmosphere. Technically not original for science fiction fans, but great nonetheless.

One of my favourites, although I really wish the actor playing Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) was good looking.

A series of non-cannon short animated films inspired by The Matrix - (1999 movie).

Better than the main series in some cases. I rather love every one of these short films.

Vampires have taken over the world, and are hunting humans to farm them for food while they keep looking for a cure.

I like it!

College students LARPing as revolutionaries set a hacker up, but he causes a shitstorm in an agent training prison.

This is pretty good. It's essentially a Dutch revisitation of the concepts in the French movie La Femme Nikita - (1990 movie). It's straightforward and so it seems fairly low budget.

In a world where lifespan replaces currency, one man is given more than his due, upsetting the balance of powers.

Good story, pacing, and acting.

A colony ship faces a set of disasters that leave it both crippled and filled with a confused crew.

A mix of odd stories and fantasies that ultimately makes little sense.

Fucking weird and pointless.

A corporation takes advantage of a grieving mother by using her to test a prototype robot in the guise of a little boy played by the actor from The Sixth Sense - (1999 movie) playing himself but in this movie.

Maybe in context it was special, but it's pretty obvious and tedious, and the incredibly drawn-out and potentially multiple-endings fucking suck man. If you're into robots, you should totally watch this.. once.
