This doesn't have the intellectual heft of The Matrix


After watching this over the weekend I couldn't help but see similarities in concepts to The Matrix. But, the difference is I don't feel compelled to contemplate what I just watched. EEAAO feels devoid of that spark found in the Matrix that makes people begin to question what is real or manipulation.

I actually became bored watching EEAAO. While visually interesting, it was akin to more disturbing trance hypno style porn videos. Which is fitting when you see some of the content of the movie, with dildoes and butt plugs galore. The Matrix never did something so low-brow as this!

This is an arthouse flick. It has an intelectual heft of a wet sponge.

It was original. It wasn't trying to copy The Matrix.
