Oh I had no idea there was an original film at all!! Do you know the name of it?

Yeah, I suppose you're right in that its Matrix-ending isn't typically realistic. Though I think I never saw the rest of the movie in the way of a drama to begin with, so the Matrix-part was not that of a surprise, if I remember correctly. Maybe I should rewatch it again and try analyze it from a different prospective - it's always intresting to vision it from someone else's POV.

For the return of the quirky!self, there was a need for some new iconsies LOL
