Matrix Revolutions SPOILER filled discussion [and my review]

[Welverin]

Did anyone else notice the ad for Tastee Wheat in the train station?

No, but I did notice that the cityscape and other things during the opening credits (the matrix code bit) was the area Neo and Smith fought in as well as an aerial view of the machine city (not sure what the third one was, I’m thinking Zion, but there is no direct match that I noticed).

We realize in the third film that the programs of the matrix are capable of emotions and the all-important human desire for choice.

I thought that was clear in the second movie.

I was really disappointed with this movie because I didn't care about Zion. Machines proved to be human emotionally; so if they won, it would have been the child of humanity outliving the parent. No big worry.

I wanted some kind of thought about those questions raised in the first two movies but all I got was a pair of boring fights. We knew that Neo was going to win, so the final fight just dragged out until he did something. And the Zion fight was pointless because humans = machines. Or so I thought.

I liked the s&m club, though. Nice visuals.

I finally saw the film. As I did with the first two, I loved Revolutions. I grokked the philosophical points right away, and no plot elements appeared out of place; everything made sense, from beginning to end, and tied the entire trilogy together into a wonderful whole.
