The Matrix was a great movie. It carried a whole sub-culture along with it. It portrayed the time tested Hero theme : obscurity, the calling, proving and winning approach with some original colour. Those who have seen The Truman Show will not always associate it with the Matrix, but the basic suspicion of a huge conspiracy lives within each of us. It has been forever exploited by movies like Men in Black or Blade, to show a glimpse of a world which could well exist with ours.
McAtrix is not just a dumb parody. Most of it actually makes sense. Nemo, Thinity, Smurpheus and the underground trains actually sort of have their senses. Even worse is how you jack in to the matrix. The real fun is what follows after the initial stupidity.
The orifice said that "No One can get past the gents in the system". Smurpheus is actually looking for the No One. Someone who doesn't exist and can therefore bend the rules of the McAtrix. And Nemo (Gordon Everyman) is offered two drinks - a red one and a blue one. The red one is cranberry juice and the blue one is toilet cleaner - sort of hammers down into your head that There is no Choice. The McPod, PoddaHut and SubPod sort of makes fun of the McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Subway - all the same thing sold as seperate via different windows.
Extensively made a mockery of all Matrix is without losing the essential concept. There is no choice, not all is as it seems and there is no Humanity left to save.
