[QUOTE="Ashrem Bayle, post: 837325, member: 3103"] Ok.... did you watch the same movie I did? I mean, he lost everything. His friends, his family, everything that would be used to define his life was suddenly taken from him and replaced by a cold, dead, post apacolyptic battleground. There was a reason Cipher wanted back in. It might not have taken any physical effort on his part, but I think it is safe to say thet he payed the emotional and psychological cost in full. Exactly why I loved the movie so much. I don't understand why you see this as a bad thing. Um no. Watch the special effects additional material on the DVD. True, even comercials started ripping off the technology, but it was after it was invented for the Matrix. I can garuntee they want be ripping off the effects from Reloaded. :confused: Again, are you sure we saw the same movie? I think the fact is, you didn't "get" the Matrix. You may think it was a bad movie, but millions of people would disagree. Now, in most cases, that doesn't mean anything. After all, millions of people love boybands and pop singers too. However, I think the Matrix appeales to a higher calibur of person who's opinion I might take notice of. Chances are, if you like Nsync, your not a die hard Matrix fan. If I'm getting your post correctly, you think the Matrix was only appealing to simple people who where amazed by it's pretty colors and power tripping fantasy. Well, in my experience, those types of peaple don't actually care for the movie. Those are the people walking out of the theater shaking their heads and saying "It was ok, but I don't really get it." The Matrix is for the deeper minded people who happen to love sci-fi and well done special effects. Throw in a little kung-fu and violance, and there is a certain type of person that really sits up and takes notice. I am one of these. It appeals to a very specific kind of person and it doesn't sound like you are that kind of person. Heck, I didn't really get into the Godfather. I hear it's pretty good though....;) [/QUOTE]
