Don't worry, mate. You're not alone in this. I don't get the Matrix • either,
and I watched the film like *three times* to see if I was missing • something.
Either I'm not, or I can't honestly see what it is...

What do you mean you "don't get" the Matrix?  I can understand not liking it
because of acting and such. (I love the Matrix but Neo will forever be a
member of Wild Stallions)

But not getting it?  I always thought it was fairly stock (although well
executed) sci fi.  Not that complex IMO.

Good special effects, I agree to that. Not "bad" acting, IMO.
But the script is too far-fetched, I guess. I'm afraid I'll never get the
point of living life through a machine, where one can defy physics and such.
If the human race were to envision such a future, would't we try to avoid it?

FYI, two of my best friends looked at me as if I were a loonie when I told
them this - so I guess you're feeling something like that regarding me... ;-)

I dunno, I guess it is one of those films that either one gets it, or not. I
didn't - too bad for me.
