A Glitch in the Matrix: Official Trailer (2021)

What if we are living in a simulation, and the world as we know it is not real? To tackle this mind-bending idea, acclaimed filmmaker Rodney Ascher (Room 237, The Nightmare) uses a noted speech from Philip K. Dick to dive down the rabbit hole of science, philosophy, and conspiracy theory.

Leaving no stone unturned in exploring the unprovable, the film uses contemporary cultural touchstones like The Matrix, interviews with real people shrouded in digital avatars, and a wide array of voices, expert and amateur alike. If simulation theory is not science fiction but fact, and life is a video game being played by some unknowable entity, then who are we, really? A Glitch in the Matrix attempts to find out.

A Glitch in the Matrix debuts in theaters and On Demand on February 5, 2021.

If I’m being controlled by a player then why is my player having me watch YouTube videos 7 hrs a day?

Doesn't matter if it is a simulation. It is the only reality we know.

Dam I clicked cause I thought it was the Matrix 4 trailer 🤣

[catmuffins]

Me:Matrix 4
Reality: Something completely different

[lmaoqasim]

I’ve kinda already accepted that we will never truly know. And if we are in a simulation? Who cares I’m still living my life

am I wrong to assume that the interviewees in this documentary are probably mostly redditor neckbeards?

[Tragz]

This movie will convince a bunch of kids that life is just like GTA.

Just think, we never had this conspiracy until we were able to progress in computer science. Talk about creating your own religion. 🤷‍♀️

[arbknight]

I foolishly thought this was a trailer for a new Matrix game

[lukky]

Imagine in the future when you're born
You get a character creation screen

[JosephSalvoni]

We don’t know where we come from. We don’t know where we’re going to. And if all of this should have a reason. We would be the last to know. So let’s just hope there is a promised land, and until then, do best as we can. Steppewolf.

Has anyone here actually seen this film? The MOST DISTURBING element, HANDS DOWN, has to be listening to Joshua Cooke's walkthrough of how he dispatched his adopted parents with a pump action shotgun, while listening to Drowning Pool's "Bodies" on his walkman. It IMMEDIATELY changes the entire vibe of this Documentary and is, without question, the most bone chilling confession I've EVER heard. That 5-10min segment ALONE makes this film worth watching.

If our existence was actually hidden in a matrix we sure as hell wouldn't find it out through a mainstream film project
