Why would I pick either of those over Johnny Mnemonic?  (which also benefits from being one of the few movies to skirt the line of plausibly being part of the Shadowrun universe)

That might be the first time I've ever seen someone prefer Johnny Mnemonic over The Matrix

Anyone else unironically love the Net with Sandra Bullock?

Watch Johnny Mnemonic, It's More Relevant Now Than Ever.

I suppose that's true...

I loved that movie when I was in grade school.  I haven't seen it in a really long time.

Not exactly the first scene I'd have recommended, but you may have stumbled onto something here...

Also, the randomly attached barrage of subliminal images at the end was, uh.... cute.

It's almost like someone somewhere knows how to smell shit before it comes out...

And remember Johnny Mnemonic: The Interactive Action Movie...the full-motion video game based on the movie, based on the short story, featuring Isaac Hayes?

I'm sure I'll get a lot of flack for it but I've never seen the movie. I've wanted to, I know a lot about it from people talking about it and  pop culture references over the years, but I've just never gotten around to actually seeing it.

I didn't watch it until about a month before the second one came out in the theater.  

I gave it an 8.  Definitely fun to watch.

Killer!  Def had a couple friends that were completely convinced that we live in a simulation after seeing it half a dozen times in the theater.

6/10

I never really got into it as some people did. I feel about the Matrix trilogy as I do about Star Wars movies, mostly. They're decent but can't really get hyped about them.

[galacticlint | 42]

I gave it an 8. I think it's a pretty good movie.

5/10. I rewatched it last year and I don't think it's nearly as good as it was when I saw it in middle school.

That's because Matrix 2 and 3 were awful.  They never should have made those sequels, I still pretend they never happened.
