The Matrix 

Term used to describe the philosophic concept/idea that reality as we perceive it is not the 'true reality', but a shared make-belief acting as a layer to shield off true reality. Usually this make-belief reality, or virtual reality, is controlled by a malicious entity.

The concept stems from (Christian) Gnosticism, which resolved around the idea that we live in a world that isn't true, and that's created by a malicious god. The goal of gnostics is to break free from this world (and hence gain control of it).

The influence of Plato's cave allegory is clear in both gnosticism and the Matrix-movie, but with the significant difference that Plato's cave allegory meant was meant to embody the idea that reality as we perceive it is merely the shadow of the true reality, aka the world of ideas.

Woa, so gnosticism basically comes down to us being in the Matrix?

the matrix 

The act of ruining an awsome movie by making two more pointless sequels just to make more money on the box office.

The Matrix was an awsome movie, but Matrix Reloaded and Revolution both sucked major nuts.

The Matrix 

an excellent movie that has fantastic SPFX, a semi decent story line, mediocre acting and awesome fight scenes, which grabs the viewer into believing that these movies are the best thing since STAR WARS, only to find that the next two movies where written and directed by intoxicated watchers of the tele tubbies, turning what is possibly the best original movie in years into the good part of the worst method of spending my hard earned money to see a movie when the trailer is so much better than the movie itself

I saw the first matrix, it was awesome. I can't wait for the sequels!
I saw the second movie, it didnt make alot of sense, and it was nearly all dialog.
I saw the third movie, thank fuck neo died, I hate the bastard! I wan't the last two and a half hours of my life back!!! What a crock of shit

The Matrix Resurrection 

This word probably shouldn't exist. Are you trying to find a movie made 21 years ago?

This movie is an attempt to refilm the feeling in the first The Matrix movie. Yes, refilm. Don't expect something very different from it. This movie features clips from the original.

Is The Matrix Resurrection a cash grab or just a stupid decision?

Glitch in the Matrix 

When, in short period of time, you see pairs of cars, passing by, matching in color and brand, identical. Not just one pair, few. And not even the common brands, but those that you never happen to see two of the same brand in the same place.

Surely the matrix glitched somewhere there. No other explanation. Nah-ah.

"Err, dude? I think there's a glitch in the matrix. Look at the road - !"
