The Matrix Reloaded!!!!!!!! Spoilers ahead!!!!!
Matt:
The Matrix Reloaded is a great film, with plenty of action and excitment, as well as mystery.
The film's action is great, and the digital effects are excellent.
Sound is great as well, but make sure the movie theatre has Dolby Digital EX Surround, or you won't get the full effect.
The movie is excellent, but after seeing it, you better be ready for REVOLUTIONS in NOVEMBER!

i did like the Zion rave scene, just not for the movie. i would've like it better as an extra on the DVD. Granted, it did segue to Neo and Trinity in their intimate love scene, which begs me to ask "why are they so horny?" i understand they're in love, but for the first half of the movie they act as though they had been separated for months, just as their lust for one another picqued.
Perhaps i shouldn't have watched the trailers, because the fights were, for the most part, umimpressive. If you've seen all the trailers, you've seen all the fights, which is one of the things that made the original so hot. There were too many slow-motion shots for scenes that didn't need to have it. Given the fact that the characters can alter the physics of the Matrix, i was expecting way more in the way of mind-blowing tricks like reversing gravity, altering object properties (steel shatters like glass), etc. If the Matrix is all ones and zeros (and upside-down katakana), why not fully exploit that?
The story itself was easily the best single element to the movie. i would've like more revelations about the Matrix or backstory on Niobe and Morpheus (and her current man), but i'm hoping to get more via Enter the Matrix (which i've barely played). The scene with the architect was great, as was the last 30 minutes of the movie. If i could pay just to see that, i would, but in any case i'll see it again to catch the bits i missed.
Matrix Reloaded reminds me somewhat of Star Wars: Episode II; not as good as the first movie that was released, and it makes you put your hopes in the sequel that will hopefully return the series to glory. Matrix Revolutions looks really good. The desparate attempt to save Zion makes it look even more tense, and the shot with Neo and Smith in the rain looks great. i can't wait to see what effects they do in the rain. i'll try my best not to watch any trailers for it.
Termin8Anakin: i had a huge Coke as well. i made the mistake of sipping it thirty minutes before the movie actually began.

... That statement... Makes... No... Sense. At all.
Anyway, I thought it was a wonderful movie. I'm going to see it again on Monday, to pay more attention to the story. Once again the movie managed to give me a royal brain f**k.
My only gripes is that rave scene, not for the sex part, but because.. It.. just wasn't needed. Well, for not that long, anyway. If I want to watch people dance for five-ten minutes, I'll go laugh at people playing DDR at the arcade.

yes..the rave scene was a little weird..but ill tell you i thought it was a fucking awesome movie...however there are a bit of plot wholes..i felt there was little point in them really being inside the matrix...and why aren't they making mroe of an effort to controll their reality.
Termin8Anakin:
Hahaha! The digital orgasm! That was f**king awesome! In a funny way. I don't think it was there for the sake of being there. It was there as a means to explore that french dude's (what's his name?) mumbo jumbo about everyone in the matrix having specific programming or something, and that the core is a desire for, well, desire and love. He programmed the cake to make the blonde chick feel that way. But man, everyone was like 'Whoa-ho!' and laughing when she just *burst*.
The rave scene was a bit too long, i agree.
Hey Berny: I loved the part where all the Neos in the TVs all started cussing and making rude signs. That was f**king funny. BUt if you were listening, I think that meant that everyone in the Matrix, the 6th version, was actually given the freedom of choice. That explains why Neo, being told that he wasn't THE ONE by the Oracle, actually chose to become THE ONE, because what he did in the first movie (save Morpheus, Trinity, and fight Smith in the train Station) was deemed impossible. It's also why he chose the door on his left rather than on his right.
Which is why now they only have 24 hours to save the world in Revolutions.
I'm seeing it again tonight. Just to understand the story a bit more, and to see the Revolutions trailer at the end.
