2. THE MATRIX
Summary (taken from Imdb)
Thomas A. Anderson is a man living two lives. By day he is an normal computer programmer and by night a hacker known as Neo. Neo has
always questioned his reality, but the truth is far beyond his imagination. Neo finds himself targeted by the police when he is contacted by
Morpheus. Morpheus informs Neo that the year is not 1999, but estimated to be closer to 2199, and that humanity is fighting a war against
intelligent machines created in the early 21st century. The sky is covered by thick black clouds created by the humans in an attempt to cut off
the machines' supply of solar power. The machines responded by using human beings as their energy source, later growing countless people
in pods and harvesting their bioelectrical energy and body heat. All the people imprisoned are put into a reality world called the Matrix
What is the Matrix?
The world which Neo has been living in since birth is the Matrix, an illusory simulated reality construct of the world when it was in 1999
developed by the machines to keep the human population imprisoned in their captivity. Morpheus and his crew are a group of free humans
who "unplug" others from the Matrix and recruit them to their resistance against the machines. Within the Matrix, they are able to use their
understanding of its nature to bend the laws of physics within the simulation, giving them superhuman abilities.

3. INCEPTION
Summary (taken from Imdb)
Inception is a psychological sci-fi action film about a thief who possesses the power to enter into the dreams of others. Dom Cobb
doesn't steal things, he steals ideas. By “sending” himself deep into the subconscious of his targets, he can collect information that
even the best computer hackers can't get to know. In the world of intelligence and spying, Cobb is the ultimate weapon. But even
weapons have their weakness, and when Cobb loses everything, he's forced to go on one final mission in a desperate quest for
rescue. This time Cobb won't be harvesting an idea, but creating one. If he and his team of specialists succeed, they will have
discovered a new boundary in the art of supernatural spying. They've planned everything to perfection, and they have all the tools to
get the job done. Their mission is complicated, however, by the sudden appearance of a mean foe that seems to know exactly what
they're up to, and knows precisely how to stop them are making it even harder.
The genre
Inception is in the genre of action and adventure, but others think its classified as a sci-fi movie as well because they use
supernatural. Inception is a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream, so it actually have some
qualities of a sci-fi, but its still not classified as one. It have the qualities of a action-adventure movie because the main character
takes on a impossible mission to protect and willingly face death to defend a personal code of honour(his children) that he think is
valuable. The surroundings are open and available for action beyond everyday experience. The movie has been filmed under a
long time, so it didn't take place in one or two nights but more which seemed to be like years. The main character was willing to die
for his children which gives this movie a 4th reason on why its a action-adventure movie.
