> sometimes wonder what their reaction would be if intelligent beings on Venus one day learned to fly, to sail in the dense air, to penetrate the mysterious cloud veil 45 kilometers above them and eventually to emerge out the top of the clouds, to look up and for the first time witness that glorious universe of Sun and planets and stars."

like when in matrix revolutions they climb up above the clouds and see the sun for the first time :')

Haven't seen that. Any YouTube link of that scene?
So - somehow, I’ve not seen any of the Matrix series after the original one (which I, of course, loved).

Now I want to sit down and watch them all, so thanks for that I guess!

Get ready to be disappointed
I went back about 2 years ago and speed ran all of them. Somehow the sequels seemed substantially better than I remember them. In fact, on the first watch I was _so_ disappointed with 2 that I didn’t even watch 3. 20-odd years later, I had a very different (positive) experience. Not sure why. Maybe I was in a good mood.
Thanks
