Can "The Matrix" trilogy be a sequel to "Terminator" trilogy?

Question

I'm referring to movie trilogy "The Matrix" starring Keanu Reeves & the movie trilogy "Terminator" starring Arnold Schwarzenneger.

Any online forums to discuss movies?

Answer 1

No i don't think so, these are 2 different realities and/or future possibilities

Answer 2

I do not see the connection, but I haven't really given it much thought to give you a precise answer. I do, however, see a connection in "The Matrix" and the "Men in Black." When I talk to others, surprisingly so, they understand. Its at the very end of each movies that makes this connection. The "Matrix", scene, "Freedom and Sunlight," the Oracle and the little girl" are setting on a park bench over looking the city with the Sun shining everywhere. The Architect, walks over to the Oracle and they talk. The Oracle asks the Architect, if he is going to keep his promise. The Architect replies,"Yes, I am not human." The very end of "Men in Black" when the two Aliens are playing marbles, using the world, planets, stars, etc as their marbles, gave me a feeling of very little self worth as a human. Which when the Architect, said "he was not human", made me feel the very same way. It left a feeling of insignificant value, that connected the two movies together. There are lots of chat rooms and if you own the first "Matrix", you should ber able to find these room and web events on the enhancement DVD. The Wachowski Brothers" rule" in Science Fiction movies when they wrote this. I hope in the future we will see more of their brain works brought to films. Its been discussed in the chat rooms, that "Demolition Man, Mad Max, Beyond Thunderdome, Outland, The Road Warrior and Soldier, are a affliate to the "Matrix". The "Matrix" is amongist the greatest sci-fic movie ever written, in my opinion.

Answer 3

I've always thought that it fits in reall well. The machines fought man and the resistance used nukes to defeat the solar powered bots (explains why its always dark in the future). The machines likely run out of natural fuel shortly after the terminator films and realize humans can power them. The skynet mainframe become the leader program that talks to Neo at the end of the last movie.

I would much rather watch all the terminators movies and watch Matrix one as a its sequel than watch al the matrix films on their own.

Answer 4

Nope. In the Terminator movies, the machines are trying to kill the humans, not enslave them. Also, the back story of the Matrix is incompatible with the Termonator series. Rent the Animatrix for more information.

Good question, though.

Answer 5

Since no one in The Matrix really knows what happened before, then I suppose you could look at the Matrix as being the future of Terminator.

Answer 6

Probably not. It seems as if T3 ended with the world being destroyed with only a few human survivors. The Martix sortof works with the idea that a LARGE number of humans were rounded up and turned into "batteries".

Answer 7

The Matrix cannot be a sequel.

Answer 8

Only in the sense that man fears what he creates. And that is what science fiction does, it allows us to glimpse the possible futures. The stories do not really mesh in my mind.

Answer 9

yeah, i have no clue how you are trying to make a tie to those movies...the only thing they have in common is machines taking over the world, same with i robot and a number of others...story wise, no connection

Answer 10

there could be similarities... but they are two completely different themes. I don't think it could be a sequel... ooo ooo, but maybe it could be a prequel to the Star Wars franchise... LOL
