10 Most Iconic Sci-Fi Movie Characters Of All Time
6. Neo - The Matrix
The Keanussaince has been well under way, as audiences realised how much they have missed the beloved cool dude of the 90s. While some may think Bill and Ted, others Speed, The Matrix is where the role destined for Keanu was born.
A subdued hacker tired by the mundanities of everyday life, finds his call to action, and it was one we could never have imagined. Neo is the fresh pair of eyes we needed to reveal the truth, as our world is shown to be nothing more than a simulation run to keep humans at bay in their endless electrical farm pods.
Neo became the epitome of cool, as he dodged bullets in slow motion, and tackled every foe he could face with his newly downloaded skill of Kung Fu. As the series continued, Neo did become a tad messianic, but his deadpan personality kept opinions of him at bay, even as he begun to fly and robotic wars were waged.
