I like it, however...

I gave it 9 stars, and I won't change it.
It has a huge issue though: it doesn't understand human nature at all. The story wouldn't work if it was true. The problem is that if you have reality and a virtual reality, and the latter is actually exactly the same as the real one, and you can't tell the difference, then leaving the virtual reality to live the same life in the real world is a useless act. You can say you'd be free in the real world, but if you can't tell the difference, then you would be as free in the virtual one too. So why bother?
And since the real world is a wasteland, only ruins and aliens, and you would need to fight to have the same life as in the Matrix, many people would happily go back to the Matrix than chose the suffering and fighting.
So I say it is a very nicely done pulp fiction. Easy to enjoy and very spectacular. Only it doesn't make any sense. :D
