but i like the architect scene at the end of reloaded
watch it again. Ergo its terrible
I realise im being a bit of a shitstain in this thread, I apologise. I love some of the action and the broader world and lore stuff in the sequels (im all for traditional monsters like vampires being viruses), im being far too black and white in some of my posts. The obvious preface to all of them is "in my opinion you are wrong"
I love that scene they will not apologize for it .
(But yeah its kinda the worst way to get information out)

The Animatrix
Tough choice.
The Matrix is a cultural cornerstone riddled with philosophy 101 and angst. Perfect for my teenage years.
I loved Enter the Matrix. Best tie-in game ever. I was one of the lucky ones who encountered practically no game-breaking bugs. (I certainly remember the camera was garbage)
The Animatrix though really sat with me. Changed how I perceived the frailty of human superiority, really. It's one of my favourite pieces of anime inspired media I've watched. It's in my top favourite movie-esk thing because it shows the realities of how fucking grim The Matrix universe is. I don't think any other Matrix media captured this feeling even remotely.

The Matrix
Second Renaissance was very pretty, but had some real silly shit in it.
I generally dislike any social commentary where they replace "oh we're being shitty to minorities" to "oh we're being shitty to robots" and turn it into a guilt trip

The Matrix
And the more they tried to explain the sci-fi of the matrix world, the worse it got. Keep it handwavey and indistinct, the more they get into "we use humans as batteries" and "humans deliberately blotted out the sun" the more I had to struggle to suspend disbelief.
For me the biggest problem with Reloaded is we get the suggestion that basically there's a bunch of rogue AI programs around that are basically the equivalent to every horror monster trope you've ever heard of.
And we get the twins and...a bunch more kung fu and guns.
And I liked the kung fu and guns! But after teasing monsters, I really wanted monsters! I wanted a vampire or at least a werewolf or something! At least once, ya know? It probably would have been way outside the genre of the film, but then they shouldn't have put the idea in there to begin with! And the twins were a good way to do it, so I feel like they definitely could have done more with that idea without it getting too far outside the style of the films.
We're well on our way to doing it as a desperate last ditch measure to avoid global warming. It'll soon be, "well we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas, so I guess we gotta blot out the sun."

Yeah I think the closest they come was sexy lady program shoots a dude in the head with a silver bullet, and says she had to use a silver bullet because he was a werewolf
but you only ever see a guy with a bad haircut, so it's not like you really got much out of the concept
Very distinct sound, takes a good piece of time so it teaches you patience. Low cost per page. Pictures come out at several dots per inch. Looks very arty.
I remember a tour of the computational chemistry department of my university (.ca 2000), where they had an A1 dotmatrix printer to roll out gigantic poster size calculation results.
In Enter the Matrix you have to kung fu a bunch of vampires and that mostly just means Niobe jams a stake in them at the end of a combo
The kung fu still works like normal up to that point though

First you're Neo and your an office worker and then all your coworkers hate you so you try to jump out tge window but the guy on the phone's like no. And then you push all the people you hate over as you rush out of the office and jump on a motorcycle with some chick and wheelie out of the place.
And then you meet the old man and you eat the blue pill and the man is very disappointed in you so you eat the red pill instead because you don't want to disappoint him. And then he takes you back to his place and he teaches you tekken and you're like 'yes I know tekken' and u beat him in videogames because his score is lame and he probably didnt even think to take the hidden sword out of the wall to beat up the infinite opponents with. And then he gets mad so he challenges you to one v one but he leaves items on and so you take a sword out of the wall and mess him up.
And then people aren't really sure if you're good enough to be called king of games but then the old man gets his soul sucked into the shadow dimension by sucking at games so you get guns and load up cs_office and theres an elevator and people are like freeze and so you throw a grenade into the elevator and they blow up.
Then you're on the roof and people are trying to shoot you so you dodge a bit and then get an attack helicopter and there are people all over the building but you have a minigun and then the old man gets nailed with wall-hax so you have to drop the minigun and save him. And then there's a guy in a suit who doesn't think yoy're good at games so you throw him under a train.
Fast forward a bit and Chypher doesn't like games because 'IT'S THE SMELL' and then the suit guy is back but hes got infinite lives but you laugh becausr he didn't even pull the pole out of the wall and then you smash the infinite lives together until you decide to change server and then you're in the US Senate but the inifite lives hacker has followed you but you laugh because you take an American flag off the wall and cream him again.
And then there is bulboa station and some madman's house with praying mantis men.
And some sort of dungeon.
But then the Wachowski brothers show up and then its the final fight against the hacker where he is a huge monster and you're super man and then you smash his glasses because he doesn't even have eyes at this point and there's no sun anyway.
And then you win, and everyone sings at how great at videogames you are.
Otherwise The Matrix is the best Matrix, hands down.
Reloaded and Revolutions were god awful.
I haven't watched the Animatrix or played the reportedly-bad videogame.
I have an idea for a Matrix prequel, where it's the first cycle of the One, but the human-machine political interface is completely different (like for example, there are humans working on the Matrix, because the Matrix rejection rate is not 0.001% but 10%, and there are too many minds being awakened for the humans to do the muscle operation thing to, so most of the awakened humans die immediately after waking up, and the machines have a much more diverse outlook on the humans, some helping them, some not, and there's political tension between them, but we only see the human side of it, and the humans who decided to work on the Matrix live in a city the machines built for them called Babylon, and the people who don't want to work on the Matrix go to Zion, and so on).
During the first half of the film, our PoV character awakens from the Matrix, which is a lot more dreamlike and surreal than the Matrix we're used to, we meet some of the Babylonians, and there's a discussion about the necessity of systems and the necessity of inclusiveness, and we see the creator of the Merovingian and the Oracle, and it's touched upon that the Babylonians live completely at the mercy of the machines, which the point-of-view character doesn't like, so they go to Zion. Second half of the movie is triggered by the machines who are against human help taking over the Machine City, the destruction of Babylon at the hands of the machines, the exile into the Matrix of the machines that helped the humans, and the flight of the Babylonians to Zion. Moral of the Story: The System is fickle, don't trust/depend on the System.
