A good movie, but in no way deep


I enjoyed the movie, it was a good movie. However to call it deep (or to call The Matrix deep also) is a bit of a stretch, it doesn't really go into philosophy at all. That's fine, being deep doesn't necessitate a good movie, but to call it 'thought-provoking' is a stretch too far.

I guess metaphysics and Plato's Allegory of the Cave aren't philosophical ideas...

This movie does not really explain itself like matrix. It might seem a little stupid because some bad dialogue, acting, story, lack of realism but all that adds to confusing experience this movie is. I was confused after this movie, I just wanted to go around doing irrational things just to see what would happen, like I do in computer game.
