The Matrix may very possibly have the worst plot of any movie I've seen. "The
thinking person's SF movie"? Armagedon (sp?) makes more sense ...
I long ago reached the conclusion that movies are a poor medium for
storytelling. Perhaps they should better simply concentrate on action and sex
scenes instead and leave the plot bit to TV series.
