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.

In a world where people work and play in virtual reality, one man dreams of going on a date. Sort of.
Really trippy and great quality.

A criminal group sedates and enters the dreams of targets to steal their secrets.
I'm sure it's wonderful and nuanced for lots of people, but to me it's just okay. I find it rather obvious and uninteresting.

A drama about a secret society of nerds? I don't know.
Fuck man, this show is utterly alien. It's Chinese, and this storytelling is just fucking terrible. I guess I'll wait for the American version.

- Unfortunately it's partially (and badly) animated.

A bunch of old friends get together for the evening of a comet, and strange things start happening when they lose power.
Straightforward and riveting.

One reviewer calls this a remake of The Twilight Zone - (1957 show) The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street.

A woman goes insane but doesn't take her meds.
One of those head-up-its-ass movies that tries to be smart but only fucks with viewers with constant tense music and not writing.

Any useful description would be a spoiler; it's that kind of movie.
It's indie, experimental, and hits the mark like a wrecking ball. Riveting, stressful, and highly recommended.

A man awakens and discovers he is trapped in a low budget movie.
It has no redeeming qualities; pass.
