All the negative opinions about The Matrix around here make me believe that most of the viewers did not take their time to actually UNDERSTAND what the movie's all about.
All the sci-fi, specialFX, kung-fu stuff is nothing but a veil to conceal the philosophy (or the truth) which the trilogy reveals to those that make some effort and think about it for a moment.
What we have there? We've got people fighting machines that keep hostage other people who are encarcelated in oniric reality created and controlled by the machines. Things emphasized throughout the whole trilogy are THE CHOICE and THE BALANCE who in the end turn out to be essential to men and machines alike. Freedom of choice of men brings balance to machine's calculations. Nevertheless it is men who are subject to machines for the freedom of choice is in fact an illusion of men calculated by the machines. The whole thing ends up optimistic though - human nature proves to be uncontrollable. There's of course more.
What is The Matrix to The Reality? For a moment think of those who shape your consciousness as of the machines that weave The Matrix. Who are they? Are they one of us? Are you sure? Where do your options of choice come from? Are these the only ones? Is your choice actually YOURS? If not, what does it make of you? - Nothing but a CATTLE that feeds the farmer (or a battery that powers the machine if you like). Those thoughts scratch the surface of conspiracy by some people called 'theory'. I can see The Matrix in power everyday and in my country and in full power every four years before the election day. Its is just as Morpheus says "The problem is the choice" both to men and the lords of the matrix. Catch my drift? "The Matrix has you."
