Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although The Matrix remains a seminal moment in sci-fi movie history, a rewatch 25 years after its release reveals that some aspects of the movie hold up better than others. At its core, the Wachowskis' mind-bending thriller is still an iconic elevated action movie, boasting scenes and storylines that put many modern blockbusters to shame.
...despite painting himself as a soldier for humanity, Morpheus spends much of the movie murdering his fellow humans. 8 Bullet Time Isn't As Cool As It Used To Be Continuing the trend of disappointing effects, The Matrix's signature fight scene – Neo's bullet time sequence – does not look as impressive as it once did. Although some of the visuals are deliberately stylized, the trails left by the bullets and Neo's frantic arm flailing now seem a little underwhelming compared to when the scene was first screened.
5 Humanity's Survival Plan Was Always Going To Fail Morpheus explains to Neo that, in the great war against AI, humanity's failed strategy was to "scorch the sky", depriving the Machines of their solar power source. From the outset, however, this plan would appear to have some major problems. For instance, while the Machines may have relied on the sun, so too does every other living thing on Earth.
2 Was Cypher Kind Of... Right? Cypher's betrayal of the Nebuchadnezzar crew is shocking and infuriating. Yet, upon reflection, his plan is not totally without merit. As he rightly points out, life in the real world is fairly miserable, with no proper food, dank conditions, and a constant scrap for survival. In the Matrix, by contrast, there is a kind of freedom available with the possibility to live a genuinely enjoyable life – albeit an artificial one.
