  • Tony, Justin, and Rocco from Mega64 jack into their construct and review The Matrix! In this movie review/podcast of this 1999 cyberpunk classic they will talk about all the things that still make the movie awesome! Like the ground breaking special effects, the deep philosophical story, and the killer soundtrack!
    Neo (Keanu Reeves) believes that Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), an elusive figure considered to be the most dangerous man alive, can answer his question -- What is the Matrix? Neo is contacted by Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), a beautiful stranger who leads him into an underworld where he meets Morpheus. They fight a brutal battle for their lives against a cadre of viciously intelligent secret agents. It is a truth that could cost Neo something more precious than his life.

    I KNOW WHAT JUSTIN WAS TALKING ABOUT! It was a dwarf in Vegas who was being arrested for disturbing through traffic, and first he tried climbing a street light (to where?). When they cuffed him, he tried to break out of them twice. Later he did Kung-Fu Mini-Me style escape back-flips. It was the greatest thing I will ever see.

    The Matrix as a franchise was definitely a much better example of a multi-media expanded universe done well. Unlike, say, Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker where "somehow Palpatine returned" and it's quote-unquote """teased""" in the completely unrelated Fortnite and quote-unquote """explained""" in some random ass one-off comic.
    (edited to say "done well" instead of "done right")

    In the opening scene, you can see that the backdrop skyline is Nashville. I only noticed because it's my hometown. Then in The 6th Day, that exact same image is used again outside of the bad guy's office. I guess it was just laying around the studio storage free to use.

    I think Neo's mouth melting shut is a reference to an old Sci-Fi short story.
    I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison. A giant computer takes over the world and keeps the last three humans alive for entertainment.

    • @Sora744
      @Sora744 2 роки тому

      Yeah that same story was the first invention of a world dominating supercomputer that massacred most of humanity. Harlan Ellison even famously sued the terminator franchise because Skynet is a rip-off of AM. The only reason the Matrix didn't get sued is because the machines dont have a main brain (other than agent Smith).

Tony and Newt were on their A-game in those. I’m fine with these other cats on here though.

    @ZombieWilfred 2 роки тому

    I always assumed cypher had a program to control jacking him into the matrix and getting him out, because where he is working with the agents he didn't need an operator to be able to hack things on the fly depending on what happens. He already knew when and where he's going to get in and out and the agents are allowing it, so nothing will go wrong and cause the plan to be changed as things happen.

    Rocco touched on it, why the battery thing makes no sense. It wasn't the wachowskis it was an executive. An executive said that the concept of chaining together a bunch of humans for processing power didn't make a lot of sense to them and would be too complicated for the average viewer.
    Using people as computers makes a lot of sense and eliminates a lot of the confusion and little gaps in the plot. I don't think anyone's ever heard the Wachowski say anything, because they are notoriously tight-lipped about the Matrix series. Even the audio commentary is done by other people, and I don't think they do very many interviews

  • @samueltheprideofafrikarobi9319
    @samueltheprideofafrikarobi9319 2 роки тому +1

    One of the things that I've always hated about the sequel movies is that in the original film, it is stated ad nauseum that when you see an Agent, you run. Full stop. And that ONLY Neo/The One has the ability to manipulate the Matrix to, as Trinity says, "move like they do" and fight them head-to-head. Yet, Revelations and Revolutions in an effort to go ever bigger, has EVERYBODY fighting Agents left and right like it was never really a thing.
    They threw their own lore right out the window.
    Also...Tony is the ONLY person I've heard say that The Mandalorian is boring. 🙄 But, then again, he defines himself through trolling so...
