Man, I would hate to see what you say to someone who doesn't share your taste in music. Why get in a big huff? I just think there is better out there made for far less, and with less marketing involved. For example Solaris contains all of the themes talked about in the Matrix and IMHO was a beautiful movie to watch. What about THX-1138 - another fantastic one with similar themes ( the student film it was based off is good too ) How about all of the work done by some of the world's most talented sci fi writers as screenplays for Star Trek, ST Next Gen, or countless other sci fi leaning TV shows? While they might not have had the marketing, big budgets, media guys and kits of the major studios they wrote some good stuff told in half the time and with people with twice as much acting ability. Harlan Ellison? Philip K. Dick? Dan Simmons? William Gibson? Neal Stephenson ( if Snow Crash is made into a movie it will probably make the Matrix seem like Japanamation boredom), or the one I am waiting for anything by Iain Banks...boy oh boy will that be fun.
