Cronenburg's movies tend to be cult-classic type themes, you'll either love it or hate it. Server obviously hated it.
I agree the Matrix analogy was stupid. It's only similar in the vague theory of alternate realities by pluging something into you. That was an obvious marketing technique to get more sales. I'm sure the sight of it made Cronenburg scream.
Nevertheless, I always highly recomend this movie as it is probably one of the director's most commercial flicks, and a good entry point to the rest of his filmography. If you liked this movie, I highly recommend 'Videodrome'. That one is even more crazy.
