A decent summary of optical and aural illusions, but I disagree with his definition of what "real" is. Reality isn't perceptive, but shared -- illusions only show that we don't have direct sensory access to reality, but have to rely on special methods that eliminate our biases and control for our sensory mistakes (science).

What philosophy? You'll have to explain it. Do you mean the simulation ideas, as we discussed elsewhere? I saw the movie when it came out, but I don't remember it being really philosophically challenging, just a big budget action movie with a now well known trope.
