Larry & Andy Wachowski's Matrix Setting
Matrix Online Enhanced
Sony Online Entertainment announced that Combat Revision 2.0, the first major enhancement to its The Matrix Online game, will debut March 28.
Combat Revision 2.0 modifies the player interface to let players feel more "in the moment" by making it easier to focus on the fight itself, the company said. Players can see who is going to take damage and whether a special attack succeeds or fails without having to look away from the on-screen action.

Neo: What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?
Morpheus: No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.
Buckle Your Seatbelt
Morpheus: The pill you took is part of a trace program. It's designed to disrupt your input/output carrier signal so we can pinpoint your location.
Neo: What does that mean?
Cypher: It means buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye.
Blue Pills
I know what you're thinking, 'cause right now I'm thinking the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here: Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill?
