Topic: The Matrix Reloaded!!!!!!!! Spoilers ahead!!!!!

Maybe there is a Matrix within the Matrix.  That could be why Neo stopped the sentinels in the tunnels.  Just a thought, since there are so many possibilities.

the power cant get to the top floor if all the wires are cut..also its a computer program...neo should just hack it off or blow up the plant.

[oohhboy]

Both places would be encrypted and they can't enter the building without setting off the alarm. Neo also had to be there just as the power is cut and even he can not be at two places at once, even with the back doors.

[ThePerm]

im suprised they havnt figured out how to insert programs in or change the program thats interfacing with the people...i mean they have these machines that tap into peoples head..cant they turn off things like feeling and stuff.....these people shopuld have an ultra powerfull gameshark making them awesome.

[Termin8Anakin]

but that would be too easy, and wouldn't make too much of a movie.

[oohhboy]

Neo is the gameshark.

Just saw the movie last night.  I was blown away.  It was an utterly awesome movie.  All of the fight scenes were brilliant (the 100 Smiths scene was a bit too weird for me, though... did it remind anyone else of Pikmin?) and Agent Smith was awesome.  Rave scene was pointless, though - the DVD should be good (Skip button = good).  

[Termin8Anakin]

You know, it is weird how Neo never uses a gun anymore. I know he doesn't need to, but I look back on Reloaded now, and his fight scenes just aren't the same without a little firepower. I mean, how cooler would the Neo-Smith fight have been if some of the Smiths actually died, and just reverted back to the agent he copied, then back to the human that the agent took over? It would have been more of an orgy had that been put in.

[oohhboy]

Neo wouldn't have been able to hit them with a gun anyway remember? On the highway, morhpous and the ghost fired at the agent Point blank and still didn't hit him, let alone a 100 Smiths.

[Termin8Anakin]

Oh, you'd hit at least one of the Smiths. There's just so many of them.

[ThePerm]

yeah the smith fight reminded me of the 100 marios demo..

[BiLdItUp1]

Because of several misfortunes, I haven't been able to see it, and I might hold off and see the IMAX version of it.

Do any of you have info on the IMAX version? Running time, etc, release date?

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

IMAX Reloaded?  Keanu's @$$ must be immaculately huge and crystal clear in that.

Heh.  It reminded me of the Vertex Shader test in 3DMark 2001.

I've seen the movie twice by now, but I'll still leave a spoiler mark, although everyone shold've seen it by now.

(SPOILER)

Let's start off with the cons, to just get it over with.

Cons:
-Rave seen was too long. They could've added it in, but it was just too damn long. Fifteen to thirty seconds would've been more than enough. Mixed in with the sex scene, I mean come'on. I was hoping to show this movie to my parents, but now I'll have to pass it by just because of this. (They are real strict when it comes to scenes like this).
-You could see the sometimes NEO was actually CGI
-When you could clrealy see all 100 Agents Smiths, you could tell that some looked different than the original. (That's because they have 6 doubles, and then all 7 were duplicated)
-More Twins. They did not have the Twins in the movie as much as they should have. I mean, I thought they were going to be the main villains.

Pros:
-Best fight scenes I have ever seen to date. I wish they would've used the 360 degree effect like in Matrix I. Agent Smith Fight and Car Chase were the two bests. The sword fighting was also incredible.
-Great Story (Many people I know argued that it was confusing, but I understood it all).
-BIGGEST CLIFF HANAR EVER

I just have one Q. When Neo fights, why doesn't he fight at the speed he flies?

[Moonwatcher]

Yeah that cliff hanar was pretty big...

I thought the movie was great but the fights were definately much...cleaner.  They felt too nice, there was no real impact or pain.  They looked cool as hell, but just a little too neat.

[Termin8Anakin]

"They felt too nice, there was no real impact or pain"
Man, I've been trying to say somehting like this in my last post.

It was sort like watching Neo fight Morpheus for like 10 times longer.
More firepower, more bruteness needed.
The only 'gruesome' kill was the way Morpheus 'killed' the twins. That was bloody awesome, especially in slo-mo.

Yeah, one down, a hundard more to go.

He still needs to accerate apparently.

There's a problem with the "real world is another matrix" theory...

1% of the Zionites would still not accept the "real world". Which would mean there should be "the Two" somewhere. Because if the machines could just directly get rid of the people who don't accept the real world, there wouldn't be a Zion.

This is my theory...

The machines can't tell who doesn't accept the Matrix. So the One has two purposes:

a) To group them all together in the real world where they can be destroyed. Like a Recycle Bin.
b) To restart the Matrix because sooner or later the errors start to accumulate until it can't run anymore. Like a system crash is guaranteed when you run Windows 98 for too long... these errors are how the One was created in the first place, if I understand it correctly.

I think the only thing the Machines couldn't plan on this time was Agent Smith. He's the nasty virus that's gonna thoroughly wipe out your computer. And if you look at the Reloaded trailer, he's just as powerful as Neo by then, probably from sharing his blood.
