I have some beef with matrix 1 (and matrix in general)
But before that, we have to admit that matrix was really original in what special effects and visual goes, the slowdown was revolutionary for the time, the sets have a very unique feel, the shots themselves, the clothing, it's all SO iconic, and I really respect matrix for that
I do think that the actual setting of them being in a virtual world and learning how to abuse that fact is really well done, it's a lot better executed than a lot of newer movies and stuff with similar concepts
My problem is the actual concept of the matrix, I just don't buy into the idea. Even in real life, there is the theory that everything is a simulation, there is no proof for this, but there isn't any proof against it either, it's not something we can prove or disprove, at least with our current knowledge and technology
Let's say we ARE in a matrix, we find a way to break out of the matrix and into the higher level, now, how do we know we're NOT in a matrix?, for all that we know, there could be multiple nested simulations, and if that is the case, those simulations could run basically infinite, going a level above doesn't mean you're in the "true" level
If life was a simulation, would your life be different?, would any of your life experiences be any less real?, no, they would be the same, your life is going to be the exact same be this universe real or a matrix, so, what's the real point?
why go out of the matrix?, just to push humanity into a worse world where they're likely to die just to pursuit a reality that we cant prove if it exists or have any sort of effects in our lifes?
The only eral reason I would see for wanting to risk your life to go out of the matrix is due to religious and/or spiritual reason, which I don't recall them following in the movie
the actual movie is good, and I don't think that criticism mattered much at the time, matrix was so innovative and original in so many ways, but now, there are lot of media that tackles those same concepts in a more interesting way, and the innovations matrix did now are just industry standard, so yeah, good movie but maybe doesn't it doesn't stand the passage of time that much

7 Days to End with You (Dropped)
sorry wont do this, I don't like puzzle games and this is no exception, this is the most overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated i've been in a game for a long time, every time I thought I solved a word I would find another use where the word would make no sense,
In fact, there is a part near the start of the game where they tutorialized adding your translation of words, however, I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the fuck that word mean, i'm so fucking ass at puzzle games I couldn't figure out THE TUTORIAL
i've played up to day 3 and it's just so, so agonizing to play for me and that is just an experience I don't want to have
