10 Incredible Sci-Fi Movie Universes We Need More Of

8. The Matrix

Mad Max Fury Road
Atari Inc.

Praise be! Another entry of the Matrix franchise is on its way, with Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss and one half of the director duo, Lana Wachowski returning. This wild sci-fi wowed audiences back in 99’, and introduced the John Wu styled over-the-top gun action to mainstream western audiences.

Simulations, killer robots, evil viruses, the chosen one. The Matrix is filled to the brim with devilishly grimy sci-fi, and despite its muddled ending, it’s a universe that has left us all eager to download kung-fu and dodge bullets in slow motion once again.

Story aside, audiences will be clamouring for the slick modern version of the elaborate fight scenes and action set-pieces that the franchise is known for. While the Wachowskis have had a few misses in sci-fi with Sense 8, Cloud Atlas and Jupiter Ascending, we sit with fingers crossed that Lana can deliver a fitting extension of a world we will have waited eighteen years for, when it finally comes around.
