A hacker learns reality is not as it appears.

A sci-fi ripoff of elements of Lucid dreaming, with elements taken from the Neuromancer/Shadowruncyberpunk” 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 man with particular skills find himself among honest townsfolk gripped by criminals.

Simple and reasonably entertaining. Recommended especially for the people who like gritty low-tech spy-superhero movies.

  • Trailer
  • Set in Italy, so there is some spoken Italian.

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 couple moves to a quiet and friendly town, but the wife, with no job and her kids grown up, has enough free time to be unhappy.

I didn’t like it compared to The Stepford Wives – (1975 movie).

A mad scientist comes to collect an animal experiment, but it is sentient and has friends.

Pretty good. I feel like I missed a couple of movies explaining what the hell was going on with some of it, but it’s still watchable.
