Comforting science fiction (lemmy.world)

Which sci-fi titles (movies, books) do you consider comforting, cozy, something you come back to from time to time? For me, I guess it is The Matrix. Still holds up to this day, gets better with every re-watch, and gives me a sense of peace when I need it.

On the topic of The Matrix, I'm surprised by the number of people who think that Matrix 1 2 & 3 are the only Matrices. In my opinion, The Animatrix is better than both sequels combined, by a lot, and most people seem to have never heard of it. If you're a fan of The Matrix, watch The Animatrix!

I remember watching it back in the days. Some of the "parts" were a bit too weird (especially the animation) for my taste, but yeah, I enjoyed it overall.

No love for 4?

Does it deserve it? I haven't watched it and tbh kind of afraid to touch

I'm aware of being the exception, but I liked it and view it as the real sequel to the first movie. It's an appropriately tongue in cheek satire. The director knew what she was doing
