Ever since the first time I saw the matrix it left me thinking of the possibilioty that one day we may create an artificial intelligence that we would not be able to control. What really gets to me when I watch the matrix is that it may one day be possible to create an artificial intelligence and what affect would this have on the human population.
The idea that humans and the artificial intelligence that they created eventually end up fighting which leads to the destruction of the world that we know today is a very original idea for a movie. Whats mind blowing is how the machines find a way to create humans and use them as a power source since the sun can no longer be used.
This movie is so well put that even though the whole idea of the matrix can be difficult to completley understand the story itself is believable because it leaves open the possibility that we may one day create something that we cannot control. In most scifi movies the story is not so believable but the matrix on the other hand is a movie that shows us what might happen if our technolgy advances and it shows us the consequences of going to far with our technology.
In my opinion the matrix was very entertaing and very interesting to watch. Who ever watches the matrix will either enjoy it or hate it there is no in between, you are eiher a fan your your not. I enjoy watching scifi mo9vies because they take us to a world that can be new and exciting. They take us to places that most of us would never imagine and that is what makes them exciting to watch

I will be interested in seeing your response to "The Allegory of the Cave" next week!
Yeah, I agree that there is no grey area. The Matrix is so intense, there's no room for mixed emotions.
i just read your about me essay and i think you have a good chance at becoming a writer. is that your major?
On the contrary, I think it's rather easy to enjoy The Matrix, simply because it features at least one theme/characteristic that, almost, anyone can enjoy. If you crave action, there's plenty of chases, guns, explosions, and martial-arts fights to keep you satisfied. If intelligent, mind-bending, provocative sci-fi tales are your fancy, then the movie is right up your alley. Hell, there's even a little bit of romance.
hey nick actually if u watch the terminator judgement day it has a similar idea to the matrix of machines controlling humans. but the matrix is preety effin awesome , i mad i never watched it before our english class.
Not only Terminator (1,2 and 3) but other movies explore the idea of humanity creating something that they cannot control.
Just look at all the Alien movies, in every single movie a corpotation (except 4, thats the military) try to cultivate and control the alien to be used as a type of bio-weapon.
Hi Nick!!!! I too feel that one day we may create machines that we won't be able to control. hopefully it never happens.
wow really? i never new that. during the whole time we were watching the movie in class i was thinking that it is really similar to the terminator.now that i think about it im not surprised that the makers of the matrix would steal an awesomeidea like the terminator.
Who me? lol
I just read what you said, and if that's for me, thanks a lot man, like, really.
I'm in Liberal Arts, one of the many lost souls, no idea what I wanna do, just what I enjoy.
How do you know we aren't in the Matrix now?
thats what really gets me is that if we were in the matrix we would not know. Its funny my friend and i were talking about this the other day.
