Okay, possibly I am pushing the definition of “spaceship” with the Nebuchadnezzar since it is a hovercraft that by no means as soon as emerges from beneath the Earth. “The Matrix” is undoubtedly sci-fi, although, and the Neb is as cool because it will get — so I feel we are able to most likely let it slide.

The Nebuchadnezzar is Morpheus’ (Laurence Fishburne) ship in “The Matrix” and “The Matrix Reloaded.” Sadly, it takes fairly a beating over the course of these two films. Within the first, many of the crew are worn out after Cypher’s (Joe Pantoliano) betrayal, whereas the ship itself is severely broken in an ensuing sentinel assault. Then, on the finish of “The Matrix Reloaded,” the Neb is destroyed for good by a tow bomb, although not earlier than Morpheus bids it a tearful farewell. “Gone too quickly” does not start to chop it.

For those who’ve seen “The Matrix,” then you definitely’ll know why the Nebuchadnezzar has made this listing. Morpheus’ ship incorporates a daring visible design pushed by the identical hodgepodge insurgent type that makes the X-wing so interesting, whereas the choice to make it a hovercraft each underscores the grim desperation of Zion’s insurrection and supplies an excuse to stay a bunch of superior buzzing glowing thingies throughout it. (What, do I appear to be a hovercraft engineer?) The Neb can also be crewed by among the coolest characters in trendy sci-fi: Morpheus, Neo (Keanu Reeves), and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) go with out saying, however the different members of the crew are gun-toting, Matrix-hacking, leather-sporting badasses in themselves. Besides Cypher. That man can go to hell.
