A Glitch in the Matrix

The idea is good, some of the info is fun, but then there's annoyances that are unforgivable. Everyone interviewed is wearing an avatar which I could get past. What I absolutely could not get past was that about 25 minutes in it became a documentary made by and about 13 year old boys obsessed by video games. And it never recovers. One "adult" being interviewed talks about the matrix video game and how cool it is that it goes into the "history" of how the matrix came to be. Not the movie - but the backstory INSIDE the movie. The fantasy inside the fantasy. WHY ARE YOU WASTING MY TIME WITH THIS? It's like listening to a conversation about dungeons and dragons!! Then they interview a teenager from Reddit doing an AMA because he thinks he's a video game character. (NPC). WASTE OF TIME! Why are you showing clips of people who are clearly either looking for attention or psychotic. This movie had a chance and it could have been valuable. Instead it's a bunch of man child's talking about video games and how cool they are. Sad.

If Room 237 shows obsessed fans with crazed theories about The Shining, then A Glitch in the Matrix highlights the passion of keyboard intellectuals trying to prove we're living in a simulation. They might not be more convincing, but they're a lot smarter.

In spite of wondrous ideas about reality and (too) much animation about those ideas, this film gets muddled. Some of the presenters are clear & concise while others are pretty strange & confusing.

just a bad matrix ripoff

Kind of starts out ok, but then ends up just being about movies and video games. I wouldn't waste your time on this.

More a study of protagonist syndrome than simulation theory. Not much actual info here other than anecdotal feelings from animated talking heads.

Interesting idea about simulation theory, but not presented in an enjoyable format with relevant supporting evidence.

This is bad. Missing a lot of science and better philosophical thinkers. We get stuck with people who have Main Character Syndrome and a crazy dude who killed his parents. Just references to the Matrix, Philip K Dick, and other video games mixed with stupid avatar interviews. Do not waste your time.

Basically the people in this movie interpret some random events in their lives as "evidence" that they live in a simulation. Don't waste your time unless you are into conspiracy theories and such.

Some good points. But the dude recorded over the phone telling stories about being drunk in Mexico or being obsessed with trenchcoats had nothing to do with the rest. Maybe try to focus on the main plot instead?
