The average American moviegoer taking in the Matrix Reloaded this weekend will likely be wowed by the elaborate action sequences and dazzling special effects. But hackers who've seen the blockbuster are crediting it with a more subtle cinematic milestone: it's the first major motion picture to accurately portray a hack.

It's nice to see an attempt to portray real life hacks. Unfortunately, the fact that the movie takes place in 2800 A.D raises the following question : will people in the future be so "retarded" that they will use programs written in 2000 ? The 8 centuries discrepancy is too wide.

It reminds me of the Time Machine : in the year 800,000 A.D, after an Ice Age, primitive guys talk in english with a New York accent.

Maybe moviemakers should restrict their scripts to a 50 years timetable.
