I loved your article. I watched both movies. It never hit me why Matrix was better than Equilibrium. Christian Bale was great and will always be a class above Keanu. Both have interesting concepts. It all came out on how was the story was told
Maybe that is why the Matrix sequels were not as good as it immediately skipped to the action and fighting parts
Yeah exactly, it's all came out on how the story was told.
In the sequel, the Matrix forgot what they did right the first time, they just wanted people to imagine that Neo can fly, or that with one thought destroy the enemy.
While in the first everything was built up to that point, or even has to practice before fights..etc.
