Matrix
Thoughts on the sequils?
There are sequels?
Yeah, but better, because it's spelled wrong.
Better to watch the original 4 times in a row.
I need to watch the new one a couple more times before I can solidify an opinion on it, but I celebrate all the rest of them on an equal footing. My basic thought, is that the original was amazing, but it was also meant to sell the movie as a new concept. The other two are meant to be watched at a different level, which a lot of moviegoers don't want to, but could only be made because of the success of the first one. That includes the animatrix. There are just too many wide open questions that the first one brushes off as movie logic unless you watch the other two, like how could the Oracle be a good guy, or tell the future, when she's obviously a computer program, and how is one guy with completely unexplained to superpowers supposed to bring down the whole system.
