The Matrix would have been better if they hadn't tried to explain why they
were in the Matrix. All that battery stuff was rather silly. Also it'd
have been mind twisting if every time they excaped a level of the Matrix
they just discovered they were locked inside another Matrix. Sort of like
The Thirteenth Floor but an endless cycle. A more Twilight Zone
approach. Other than that I thought it was an awesome movie. Probably the
best action moved we've seen. The sci-fi story was just tacked on to
explain the special effects.
