Matrix Revolutions

There's quite a bit of hype about this movie, but all reviews so far that I've seen have been bad. It hits the world at the same time simultaneously on Wensday, But what do you think? The Wachowski brothers going to screw the pooch with this one? Do you think it will fucking rule? and if you've seen it, DID they screw the pooch?

I had high hopes after Reloaded, but now I really don't expect much from the final movie of this trilogy. I hope I'm wrong.

Why don't you exspect much? The brothers are fucking genius. There are so many levels too the recent movies it's incredible. I'm definately looking forward too the ending. I'm going too see it in the Imax theatres. One thing I'll admit is that the dialoge is minimal compared too the overall visual effects of the series. So the expectations of the actors character feels too be more physical then anything. But still I think the concept in its' entirety of these movies has been groundbreaking. I expect the best from the finale. I really can't wait. I'tll be fun.

Man no fucking bad news about the Matrix or you all will die BY MY HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bastards.

The Imax thing will indeed rule, I admit. I just have this feeling that in 2 hours my mind will not be set at ease with enough answers to the questions that come up within this movie.
I think it will indeed have groundbreaking special effects, just like the last 2 did. It will have intense action and fun things to watch. But I don't think the thoughtfulness of the actual concept and the complications set up in Reloaded can possibly be resolved in a satisfactory fashion.
Maybe, I read too much into it, as a super-steroid-effects kung-fu action movie, i'm sure it'll be good stuff.

Saw it tonight.
Press Screening.

And its cleared up something that has been worrying me for a few years now...
and as I sat in my little theater seat, watching the oh so sweet third installment in the matrix series (shall I ruin the ending for you?) an answer finally came to me.

You see its only inevitable that eventually some foolish man or woman will invent a machine that replicates itself... and immeadiately embarks on a quest to destroy the human race, trapping our consciousness in a massive computer program and our bodies in fields designed to harness our bodies' electricity, to power its army of machines.

I've often wondered how we humans, frail and slow-to-adapt creatures that we are, could possibly survive a machine onslaught.

So if the eventual creation of a super-intelligent machine is inevitable then what can we possibly do to survive it?

Its been troubling me because I feel the day will soon be upon us and there is no time to spare...
we need to begin preparations to defend ourselves.

Tonight the answer finally came to me:

clones.

Massive armies of Killer Ninja Clones.
Bred to be intelligent and vicious in combat and have a bloodlust... so to speak... maybe Gearlust would be better... for destroying all mechanical devices that pretend to self-determination.
These clones would adapt constantly and would be our willing slaves in the war against the machines.

As I see it the only danger would come from the Velociraptors... and other genetically engineered dinosaurs that man created before deciding to build a super-intelligent computer that would destroy them all.

See if the Velociraptors side with us to kill the machines then we can feed them some of our less likeable people and have kind of a mutual understanding... but if they side with the machines who promise to let them eat some of the ghouls in the little electro-pods then I think its over for all of us.

I think in the end its going to come down to what the pink goop that we're stored in tastes like.. if it tastes terrible then the Raptors are with us... but if it tastes like chocolate... blood... or lime and a dash of cilantro...

then we're pretty much fucked, clones or no clones.

Anyway I'm going to go kill myself now before the machines take over or even worse space-aliens come to harvest our bodies.

Oh yeah I saw Matrix:Revolutions tonight. Rock on!

And anyone who gave it a bad review is only sad and bitter because evil little elves have stolen their nanner. It rocked. Mr. Reeves delivers some great lines like "dude" and "shit". All the thousand and one iterations of Agent Smith (sorry if you never saw the 2nd one that'd be a spoiler) are excellent.

Its just a great movie.
Go see it now.

Keanu stopped smiling after the first Matrix, and became oh-so-serious. That's the tragedy of all this.

First of all, thanks for not plastering up spoilers.

Second, if you did indeed see it, I'm glad someone dug it, I was getting worried.

I admit, none of the major reviews are up yet, but just from the random press screener people like you scattered around the net, I was getting bad impressions.

I really wish you posted a spoiler. I love it when people do that.

Look if you liked the second one you'll like the third.

If you enjoy that the FX are amazing you will like it.

If you approve of the fact the strange world of the Matrix is still quite strange you will like it.

If you do not mind walking away from a movie with more questions than answers you will like it.

If you are not an insane fanboy with no imagination and no sense of romance you will like it.

Keanu is actually good.
The Agents Smith are great.
The bit players as always are excellent even if alot of them are not given much camera time.


It is better than any of the movies in the StarWars saga will ever be.

(one regret though)

I could have sat through five hours of that. The quirky 'programs', the insane fight scenes, the thrilling sci-fi battles of the first two packed into a final movie less than 5 hours long is just unsatisfactory... I would have easily sat through another hour and a half. The Matrix would have been better served as a novel trilogy and not a movie trilogy... so much scope... so many characters...

fair enough, you think it'll break #2's boxoffice?

Looks like a big Biblical allegory to me. We'll see.

too much slow motion.
It was toom much in Matrix: Reloaded
I get the idea ya thats cool and so dramatic like the first 5 times in the film but not every fight and action scene in the film.

Besides that the films are good and third looks better than the second.

1) If the movie ends with "Neo" trapped in the virtual world the whole time real world and matrix just to facilitate his own happiness as he is connected to the Matrix or something of that nature would be a good smart unexpecting ending for a action movie.

2) "Persephone" and "Merovingian" should play a bigger part in the third movie sinnce they out-lasted all the would-be messiahs and rebels (as I understood it) I hope they just don't disappear.

3) "Trinity" should die so "Neo" becomes even more emotionally hampered against the machines (Matrix).

4) Just no happy dumb hollywood ending.

In my opinion that would make a good movie.

That's what you get for listening to movie critics, who are the lowest life form on this planet save for ambulance-chasing lawyers and radio talk-show hosts.

I'm afraid to be disappointed by part 3... There were so many theories around what its all about and how this will end, that I'm afraid the answer will be something like "because he is the one" or "because he can" . (eg "How did he beat the machines in the real world at the end of part 2?" "Because he can!")

I will be really pissed if I wasted hours of my life figuring it out for myself and the answer is some shit like that.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

I watched it last night and I thought it was pretty good. Not as good as #1, a LOT better than #2.

i've got a raging hard-on for the third movie.

Yeah, I've indeed heard some heartening things about Revolutions *crosses fingers*

it was a good movie. i saw it at 9am this morning and i was not dissapointed by it but i really dont get to hyped up over movies before they come out. i like to have a open mind going into the theaters not like the assholes who ruined 28 days later for me by screaming "bull shit" at the movie and constantly dissecting everything that happens outloud

Also saw Revolutions at 9:00 this morning, and it was great. Not saying anymore, don't wany to ruin it for those yet to see it.

I am not going to dissect it--I saw it last night--I started my own stupid thread--the oracle said I would have to make a choice.

POSSIBLE SPOILER DON'T READ ME

Without giving too much away... I felt like the 3rd movie was great.. but not as amazing as the other two. I just felt like I didn't get enough plot out of it.

Like.. the first movie was incredible.. and after that, i'm sure the Wachowski bros were like.. oh shit, we've really gotta kick it into gear here. The second one has to have all this plot and twists and confusion to really keep people interested. For the third one, it's obvious that all they have to do is just wrap up all the loose ends and have Neo save the day. One of the best parts about the Matrix series is how there are all these mindfucks.. where you're like oh man.. didn't expect that. There wasn't a whole lot of surprises in this one.

That being said. The fights.. the visuals.. it was all incredible. They never dissapoint there. I just wanted a little more... but definitely worth your $8 bucks. I might go see it again at the IMAX theatre this time.

I saw it as well. Here is my spoiler..........









The war is over.

I saw it at a preview last night. I definitely was NOT disappointed. Some of the movie is so fucking intense that I actually found myself gripping the back of the seat in front of me. The CGI effects in the big battle are mind blowing. In that category it far exceeded my expectations.

It is, however, definitely best seen with the realization that it is the second part of the story started in episode two. The first film definitely stands on it's own, but I am really looking forward to seeing the second and third films together.

I was very impressed. So, this morning, I went out to the drug store and looked at the reviews in several out of town papers and THEY ALL HATED IT. I was dumbfounded. What film did they see? Shit. I say ignore the fuckers and get ready for a wild ride.

I can't wait to see it again.
