In future with a colonized galaxy, a mad scientist develops an evolving quantum computer which he believes proves determinism and prediction of the collapse of civilization.

It started interesting, but dove into too many plotlines, timelines, and characters, and then space-wizards. I find it predictable and tedious, and I’m constantly nagged at there being zero good looking women, just passable persons of pigment hired for The Message.

Some kids lose their home and parents and get passed around to different family members. And stuff.

Kinda annoying and boring.

A lawyer can’t lie, and goes insane because it’s Jim Carrey.

It’s Jim Carrey as himself, so you have to cope with the idiocy. It’s okay in that context but it’s not for me.

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.
