Your Thoughts on the Matrix Revolutions?

I shouldn't be allowed to post under the influence of 3 32-ouncers of neu-coke (Our movie theater only handles pepsi products and stuff... no coke... Tsyr's Neu-Coke: 1/5 Doctor Pepper, 4/5 Regular Pepsi. It's not exact, but it gets closer all the time. Next time I try adding a little citrus of some sort, maybe give it just a bit more rounded tang)

Hey, if you're still up, about how long were the previews? My friend and I are looking to catch a matinee showing, but he doesn't get out of work until 5, and there are no showings in the area between 5 and 6 .

Wasn't really timing it, but rough guestimation is 10 minutes or so. Maybe a touch over... The Last Samurai one was decently long.

And now I head off to bed.

I'm so tired I could be dead.

I leave you now with spoilers and rhyme.

To torment you another time.

Enjoy my posts, or not I suppose.

It's not like it's any sort of proper prose.

And so, farewell, and now I leave for sleep.

You won't of me hear another peep,

Till morning comes and then I rise...

But I have a test in the morning! I'm screwed, I surmise!

Still curious about Seraph's role in the proceedings, given that:
a) The part was originally offered to Jet Li, indicating he has a fair amount to do
b) One sneak preview has a shot of him lining up with Morpheus and Trinity
c) A shot in the trailer has (I think) him striking Morpheous. Hmmm.

Spoiler

Seraph is just what he seems to be, really. He's a program that, whatever it's original purpose, kicks ass now. He's loyal to the Oracle above all else, and definetly seems to agree with her on most issues. He does what the Oracle needs doing but is herself unable to do. There is some connection with him and the frenchman, and we are told that he was an apprentice or something like that to him. He is also a very well-known program it seems. He never turns against the good guys though.

*edit* ACK. Forgot a spoiler tag. Hope I caught it in time.

Oh yes... I shall see this today, and post my thoughts tonight.

I have heard a lot of bad things about the movie. It seems the majority of the people so far were dissapointed. I hope it was just the group of people on the other site.
But none the less, I am going in with low expectations. I do not want to be dissapointed. I really liked the second movie, even more than the first. So, I guess I am just hoping it will be good!!!

 

[Tsyr]

I was not dissapointed in the least.

I think, easily, it is the best of the three films.

On further reflection, I wonder if a lot of the people who were dissapointed were such because their personal theory on The Great Truth (TM) behind the Matrix turned out to be wrong.

First a foremost - a massive thumbs up for this one. Really enjoyable good film.

Thoughts:

1) The Battle Zion - oh my Gawd! Frickin' A! One of the most awesome fight scenes I have ever seen. Well considered, clever, tense, dramatic...everything.

2) I actually thought the final battle was a little on the short side!

3) Very ambiguous ending, nothing really explained, but nevertheless very satisfying. And a neat little postscript, too.

4) Loved the Trainman section. Neo - "Oh ."

5) Something I did notice. All three films follow a pattern. First, something that hints at the rest of the film. Then, a scene involving dancing. Then, the big middle-of-the-film awesomeness. Then the end. Think back of the basic structure of each film, and you'll see they match up quite neatly. I went into this film wondering if, about 20 minutes, we'd be in some sort of club. Doors open - clubbers everywhere.

6) Hugo Weaving - what a guy.

7) Keanu does really well in this film. Couldn't fault his performance at all. He had everything down, the cool calm power of Neo, the much more vulnerable human side in the real world.

Basically, the film rocks in large amounts, and I look forward to hearing what everyone else thinks about it.

Just got back. Awesome film, perhaps not as good as the first, but better then the second. Having a hard time keeping my thoughts together after only four hours of sleep and a one hour drive to and from the theatre. Great movie... zzzzzzzzzz....
