Bracket Battle 2024

Brackets [Round of 32] The Matrix vs. Minority Report

[Round of 32] The Matrix vs. Minority Report

solarwinds_worldwide_llc 7 months ago Less than one minute read time

The Matrix (1999)
Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus evade Agent Smith as they navigate the simulated world of The Matrix. Good thing they all know kung-fu, whoa.
— versus —
Minority Report (2002)
Watch Tom Cruise run for his life for a crime he has not committed... yet? Philip K. Dick's classic is brought to the screen by Steven Spielberg.

The Matrix wins! Calling it here, it'll be TRON vs The Matrix in the final (if there is any justice!)

I have one of these. A decade old now and probably the least used gadget I have ever bought. Still in its orignal box.

ooooh like both movies for different reasons. Minority Report is often overlooked, but they really tried to guess on the future tech - tinmann0715 commented about the ads. I remember hearing about some of the other tech like the non lethal weapons. Still gotta go with Matrix for the win.

Ooof! I have to go with the movie that revolutionized cinematography. However, the most foreboding, and often overlooked, detail of Minority Report is when people walked into stores and were immediately hit with personalized and characterized advertisements.
