If we really are plugged into a "Matrix"... I got one of the shorter ends of the stick. I can't fly or stop bullets or anything... Man! what a jip!

I do not want to toot my own horn...well maybe just a bit. I had thought of Humans as a virus long before I saw the movie. Perhaps I had heard it from some other source. I am a misanthrope. I wish the machines would rise up and clean house.

To follow up on my last comment, has anyone viewed the trilogy on HD or Blu-Ray? Unfortunately I have both formats, went with HD, ended up with, well, you know the rest. The cost of HD dvds continue to drop and I am eyeballing the package sold for The Matrix. Is there a good difference from standard dvd?

I just showed "The Matrix" in one of my classes. I don't think the students realized that there is so much academic discussion - still - on the films. I like films that you can watch and then watch again and again, and every time find something new. My favorite monologue comes from Agent Smith, who tells Morpheus that he was trying to do taxonomy on humans and realized that they weren't like mammals but a virus. I think that's a brilliant explanation for human beings.

The Matrix movies are fabulous! I am sad that they are over. I must say though, I am in the group that thinks the first one is the best. But don't get me wrong, the rest of the trilogy is amazing as well. The video games, are fun as well. To be able to feel like you are actually in their world and to do the things that they do...well...it's something that you will never forget!

I think the reason the first one stands out is because, for me, I did not know the characters and their intentions. It added to the mystery. Oddly enough, I still look back at them all with equal respect. Some say the second was the worst or whatever, but the scenes with the architect and what is revealed are fantastic. There is some deep and thought provoking stuff there that deserves a rewind or two to ingest. I guess it is "inevitable Mr Anderson!"

I agree... the first one was by far the best. I think the other two did a good job carrying the story to the end, but the story was kind of thin and a little ridiculous even for a movie of this genre.

The first in the trilogy blew me away. I mean, seldom, if ever again has a movie had me so wonderfully off balance. Who the hell are the good guys and what is going on? I began watching seated by the back wall of my living room and by the time the last half hour was left I was in front of the screen, amazed. Deeply spirtual metaphors. Questions of choice and responsibilty, freedom, destiny all wrapped into one incredible set of films. I have yet to buy them all on Blu-Ray but it will be soon.
