Yeah, I, too, like the story in the original. With all the gee-whiz
technology on display, it would've been easy to just toss off a
generic story about a guy getting sucked into a computer, but they
layered in all the messiah stuff, and certainly predicted with uncanny
accuracy the battle for control of information on the net, etc. The
first film has it's flaws (primarily pacing, I think), but story isn't
one of them.
