Matrix had huge influence in games, one decade of shooters using bullet time

Maybe we could get another Max Payne game out of this at least!

What's that poo poo I hear about Morpheus being recast? That's the dumbest idea ever and that's including making another Matrix movie.

One can only hope :shobon:

So what do you know, Remedy just released another game called Control. It's no MP but pretty fun. No bullet time so far though :(

Enter the Matrix wasn't good but from what I remember it had some fun moments in it. Might be interesting to dig it up and give it another go if it still works.

I mainly hope they make a good movie period. Some of the Wachovskis' recent stuff like Cloud Atlas and Sens8 was really heavy on the philosophic and social subjects like identity and sexuality but felt bloated as movies/tv.p and I found them interesting but not really enjoyable like Matrix 99 was.

I saw the original on a :files: VHS and a 30" CRT TV after hearing a lot of hype from my cool hacker friends, but not knowing much else. It was great even that way, but it's a shame I didn't get to see it in the theaters because that had to be a much better experience.

I did however go to see Reloaded and Revolutions, and, well.

The first time I saw this I thought it was a new Marvell movie but then realized they would've just greenscreened evyerthing

So is this worth watching at all? It's obviously not great but then neither was Reloaded and I enjoyed it enough for the dumb fights and chase to make it not a complete waste of time.

Why say its obviously not great if you haven't watched it.

Overwhelmingly negative to mixed reviews I've seen so far. Of course they could all be wrong but...

Love it or forget it, I don't think you'll hate it or regret watching it.
Thanks, that's really what I wanted to understand. I'll give it a shot.

I replayed FEAR last year to see if it was as good as I remember and it's still great really well done bullet time mechanics and great horror atmosphere.
Yeah FEAR owns so loving much. Such a shame the sequels were pretty mediocre

Its about 63% on rotten tomato with both critic and audience. So assuming a normal distribution, you have an overwhelmingly positive review for each largely negative one.

But yeah it’s not generic at least, tries some weird things, and you can tell Lana loves the world of the matrix (neo and trinity especially).

You got me, I haven't checked the score distribution before posting.



So yeah it's more positive then negative but since I said "negative or mixed" I think I left myself enough wiggle room to be technically correct :v:


I definitely don't mean to pass judgment on a movie i haven't seen, but I also have to somehow make a decision on whether to spend my time and money on it. If it wasn't The Matrix I wouldn't even consider it, but having seen all the other movies, Animatrix, and even one of the games, I'll just go see this one as well.

Not going to go pages back but thanks tho whoever suggested giving this a shot. It's kind of a mess and sadly the action mostly sucked but overall it was at least pretty fun anyway. Glad it's not a by the book reboot or something.

Is Matrix it now like the FIFA games now?

I was extremely hyped up for Reloaded of course but I remember pretty clearly people, myself included, losing faith in the movie as it went along. A few people were making fun of it at times. I didn't see the first one in the theaters but I can't imagine that happening during the coolest movie of all times.

In what universe are you gonna get Reeves or Fisher to come back without either Wachowski involved?

Replaced by AI.

It's very meta, you see.
