Do you like blockbuster movies today?

The story, though a little bit confusing, is interesting... the theme (we are all part of a matrix) is even more... but instead of developing such a good theme with plot and twists and character development, they chose to appeal to the masses with cgi-rendered effects and explosions. It's not a bad movie but could've been actually good.

That's what I actually think but I never met anyone else who thinks like this I also think the story and the themes it implied were extremely promising but they weren't developed more than 10% of the potential - the script handled the themes in an ordinary fashion, acting was bad, filmmaking was concerned on CGI and not on the artistic values of the image in motion etc.... However Matrix remains one of the few blockbusters of the last two decades that got in the film dictionaries, even if with just a few lines, as it did bring some groundbreaking stuff. One last recommendation - try Animatrix, a suite of animations which are variations on the Matrix's themes, it's superb. Here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328832/
