Always find it kind of odd never hear about the matrix anymore as awesome as the first one is. I really think the sequels painted the series in a lot of people's eyes.

I've been meaning to rewatch it I haven't seen it since the early DVD days and I bought the Blu Ray last year

Meh. I don't think the sequels tarnished the original at all.
Just like "To Kill a Mockingbird". You gonna tell me you can't make a damn single decent piece of work since that?
Depends on your definition of decent. Matrix reloaded was good, V for Vendetta was good, and I personally liked Cloud Atlas. But lets go by your logic and apply it to the conspiracy that a woman wrote The Matrix, she hasn't written ANYTHING since :mjlol:

The matrix borrowed ideas from early sci-fi novels such as Simulacron-3 and some Phillip K dikk novels. No conspiracy needed.

Simulacron 3 is the story of a virtual city (total environment simulator) for marketing research, developed by a scientist to reduce the need for opinion polls. The computer-generated city simulation is so well-programmed, that, although the inhabitants have their own consciousness, they are unaware, except for one, that they are only electronic impulses in a computer.
The simulator’s lead scientist, Hannon Fuller, dies mysteriously, and a co-worker, Morton Lynch, vanishes. The protagonist, Douglas Hall, is with Lynch when he vanishes, and Hall subsequently struggles to suppress his inchoate madness. As time and events unwind, he progressively grasps that his own world is probably not “real” and might be only a computer-generated simulation.

The third movie was so bad that it makes sense if the whole thing was stolen from the original writer(s)


The series is still classic but yes it could have been the next Star Wars.

Marvel seems to have come through and filled that void however Avatar is still the one that's lurking

It was special but the nerds demanded too much and the wachowskies just didn't know what exactly to do with it and how to finish it. Turned into a bloated mess.

Wasted potential, totally jumped the shark with the second two. Soul surviving embers of humanity having parties and orgies underground....
I still thought Reloaded was dope but the CGI doesn't stand up at all in it, it looks retarded with all the agent clones. The original Matrix is timeless.

Honestly, If there was ever a reboot I would support it would be for this series. The 1st one was cool, the sequels for it from what I can remember just muddied up whatever the fukk was going on.
