In its defense, I saw The Matrix at 12 or 13 and adored it because I felt like it was something more serious—-that I could appreciate it was a sign I was maturing, and I was grateful for that

Of course all kids are different. I always loved the Back to The Future movies from a young age. Moon is also harder fare while being less violent than The Matrix.

You might also enjoy watching the modern Doctor Who together? Or Star Trek?

As for more books, maybe introduce him to Hitchhikers Guide?
