i agree. room has to be made for matrix.

i think the betrayal in the film was kind of ridiculous. 'i should have taken the blue pill'. it didn't make sense that the guy wanted to go back and be duped by the matrix.

and sure, the explanation of how machines took over the world was ridiculous too, except the idea of the energy in people being like batteries which another species could harness.

but i don't think a film gets much better than matrix in a realistic metaphorical impact. the special effects are fantastic too. to see the man plucked out of his cage/chamber, and to see a whole world of similar trapped beings, and to see those bug/robotic things hunt the craft, was amazing.

the real world, the destroyed world looked pretty fantastic too.

the opening scene of 'swordfish' (the next film by this director) was pretty fantastic too. but the film could not deliver like the matrix could.

'matrix' is a sci-fi film of true philosophical import. in between action scenes was a film of philosophical importance.

the description and explanation of 'matrix' is what makes this film really above all sci-fi's.

sorry 'terminator'......
