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.

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

Straightforward and riveting.

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.

For the first time, a child is adopted by a corporation, who uses him to create the reality TV show of reality TV shows.

A fantastic movie that resolves like a hot shower after a good day's work building a deck; refreshing and wholesome.

Students decide it's a good idea to blindly pursue teleportation without watching some scifi first.

Really wonderful, moody, and well-acted. Great idea and writing; highly recommended.
