In the matrix the world is an illusion, and when you escape the matrix you discover another world that is even shittier than the illusion.

A world in which human bodies are used to provide energy to run the matrix (where do these bodies get their energy from isn't explained - presumably from the sun which is used to grow crops to feed the human bodies (but why not use sheep? - or just use the sun directly) - but then why would they need to develop a matrix?)
None of it made any sense.

But I enjoyed the first one and have seen it at least 10 times.

The original plot was that humans were used as processors (as a massive neural network). However, the director thought this would be too confusing for the average joe so they changed it to the whole battery thing.

You forgot the Animatrix. Good anime to enhance the story even more.

I love the Matrix trilogy. One of the best films ever made. I would urge everyone to buy the DVDs or blueray and not download the films for free. Please support the film makers.

if you are part of a film maker.?
I agree with you because downloading movies for free is part of the theft'' in my opinion'' Grin

What are you thoughts on the trilogy?

For those of you that haven't watched it, I implore that you do.

It's fucking amazing. I love the creativity of it. It was acid/shroom derived.

well all parts of the matrix are great and rocking thnkx for the torrent link i will donwload and watch it and then i,ll tell you..

Dude, what is up with pulling topics from over a week ago? Literally to make comments that don't make any sense. "they're great" but "you're going to donwload and watch it" and then "tell him" about them again?

On topic:

Actually, I preferred the orginal plot of the Matrix movies before it was changed to make more sense for the average Joe.

Yes, this is true, though its not clear how hard the Wachowski's fought to keep their original idea.

The only "official statement" I know of is an off-hand comment from one of the brothers on the DVD commentary for one of the director's cuts (I forget which but I think its on the Ultimate Matrix Collection.) He is discussing the whole setup for the Matrix and mentions that they "originally had a different idea" before dismissing the question as irrelevant to the story. (e.g. it doesn't matter to him why the machines did what they did, as its just a plot device to get the story started.)

More details about what that original plan was come from some written material based on early pre-release information from the movie. Specifically, Neil Gaiman's short story "Goliath" is set in the Matrix universe and includes this alternate view. I have also heard that the "novelization" of the Matrix included this idea but there's no such novel that I know of; its possible that a novelized version of an early script exists (there's a published version of the shooting script for sale but that includes the story as filmed.)

The Matrix Trilogy Decoded by Mark Passio - watch this in conjunction with the films, if you haven't watched them in a while.

Cloud Atlas, the Wachowski's sequel (kinda) to The Matrix.

Am I the only one who enjoyed the second and third movies?

Guess I just saw the meaning behind them.

No, I do too.

Without second and third, I wouldn't be able to put things in context.

The first one had a lot of unanswered question. The trilogy and the animated series get into more detail and explain how things become what they are.

I just feel as if the heart of the original Matrix gets taken away with the 2nd and 3rd releases....

It's further character and plot development but I really would have been very content if there was only one release.

Love the 1st as well and 2nd and 3rd.

Not sure why people think 2nd and 3rd are such a let down. In fact, the 2nd and 3rd actually enhance the 1st one as well the animated series.

The first is definitely a classic.
