Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025) | Gareth Edwards
Vince takes a detour from the MATRIX films to go into a deep dive into JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH (2025) — exploring the film’s core ideas, how it was made and released, and offering a frank review packed with trivia and production anecdotes. Plot synopsis: Set five years after Jurassic World: Dominion, Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025) follows a specialist team hired by a pharmaceutical company to travel to the remote, mutation-altered Île Saint-Hubert to harvest genetic samples from its most enormous dinosaurs for a promising heart-disease treatment; the expedition soon devolves into a desperate fight for survival when they must join forces with a shipwrecked civilian family and, together, uncover a sinister secret tied to the island and InGen’s past experiments that forces harrowing choices about truth, profit, and the fate of the revived creatures.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003) | The Wachowskis
It’s several months after the events of the first film, and the last remaining human city, the underground bunker called Zion, is building its forces to take back the planet from the artificial intelligence that now dominates it. This same artificial intelligence has begun to dig to destroy Zion, and the resistance seems overwhelmed by the potential onslaught. The plan is now hatched to send agents Neo (Keanu Reeves), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) back into the Matrix so that they may destroy the mainframe that controls it, but it’s not going to be easy, with the usual agents, a couple of ghosts, and hundreds of Agent Smiths (Hugo Weaving), who now seems to have the ability to replicate himself, on their tails.

The Matrix (1999) | The Wachowskis
Keanu Reeves stars as Thomas Anderson, aka Neo. Neo works for a large software company, but is a computer hacker on the side, and quite a good one at that, selling off information for a price to anyone who might want it. That is until one day his world is rocked when he is shown that the world of 1999 isn’t reality, but actually a computer simulation designed to lull humans into a feeling of complacency while their actual bodies are being harvested and used as batteries for the artificial intelligence they helped create. A mysterious man named Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) believes Neo is “The One” who will save all humanity, as foretold to him by The Oracle, so he shows Neo the truth about his surroundings and trains him in the ways of The Matrix in the hope that humanity can prevail against the machines.

Dark City (1998) | Alex Proyas
Rufus Sewell stars as John Murdoch, who wakes up one day with amnesia in an non-descript hotel room with a butchered woman, immediately having to go on the run as the prime suspect in a series of murders of prostitutes around the city — but he can’t remember if he did it. In addition to the police force, Murdoch is also hotly pursued by a shifty psychologist named Dr. Shreber (Kiefer Sutherland), a tenacious detective, Frank Bumstead (WIlliam Hurt), a woman claiming to be his philandering wife, Emma (Jennifer Connelly), and a spate of pale and creepy-looking, trenchcoated Nosferatus (or so they appear), who are looking for Murdoch because he seems to possess abilities above and beyond what normal men have, which makes him a danger to them. As Murdoch seeks to get to the bottom of who he is and what’s going on, he discovers that there’s an even bigger mystery, which is who everyone else is, what kind of city they all reside in, why is it being controlled by these shady creatures who seem otherworldly, and just why does it always seem to be nighttime?
