  I think with The Matrix specifically it has to do with the physicality. Late 90s Will Smith was in shape and could do big, bombastic action, but I can’t imagine him doing precise martial arts moves without it looking like a comedy.

    Thats what we all said about Keanu. He was a joke at the time. Or rather basically type cast. Even in the more serious roles he was pretty goofy. Speed comes to mind. The Matrix gave me and many i know a bigger liking for the young silly Ted Logan.

    Yeah but that would go both ways. Imagine he did the matrix and it maybe worked out. People would now be like: can you imagine the shitty actor Keanu Reeves was going to play neo in the matrix?

  Didn’t you do a sci-fi with his kid? I’ve never seen it and I have no idea what it was about or what it was called but I’m sure it was a sci-fi.

    He’s done quite a bit of sci-fi! Off the top of my head I can think of

    • Men in Black
    • I, Robot
    • I am Legend
    • Independence Day

      None of those films feature any science.

        That’s why it is called science fiction!

        Neither does The Matrix, but it’s still firmly planted in the realm of science fiction.

      Oh yeah I’d forgotten he was in independent day. That’s not a slight against him, I’ve just not seen it in ages.

      The only reason I didn’t include things like I robot as sci-fi is it’s only surface level sci-fi. You could easily have made it be about Orcs and demons and it would have fitted.

      I was trying to think if he had been in any hard sci-fi and the only thing I can think of is that film with his kid in it. No idea what it was called.

        I watch Independence Day every 4th of July, but what I like to call the “abridged version” where I watch until the aliens blow up the White House and then I’m done =)

    After Earth. It’s kinda lightweight as far as sci fi goes.
