(that's the MMORPG currently in development, set after Revolutions). There may be interesting things there...I am a little disappointed that [spoiler]there was no new layer of reality revealed, nor was Neo's 'broadcast' ability adequately explained. Sure, he's touched the Source. That doesn't explain how he can do what he does... unless he's psychic. Which implies disturbing things about the sophistication of the machine intelligences. It also explains his early visions of his last journey.[/spoiler]Why is everyone so down on DragonBallZ, though? Is it perhaps that there's a better show about people who have that kind of power? (Let's forget the slow plot and the adolescent dialogue and the fact that the combat is culturally influenced.) Superman has never fought that desperately, and he's the only other character I can think of who's that powerful.Perhaps it's just that people haven't thought through what it really means to be able to move with a thought. If Neo has that level of power, that's how it's going to get used. If you don't want him acting realistically... well, don't give him that power.Anyway, I'd rate the film as a spectacle, not a brainmelter like the first. It's proved some things can be done, some things I'd be very excited to see used for certain other properties. It's about very brave people, which in a way is a flaw - [spoiler]I think it might have had more emotional resonance if just one character had hid under a bed screaming at one point, those Sentinels can't be too endearing to watch. I think that could be why Two Towers was awesome, despite being essentially the same. Don't fret, they're both films about big battles, people being convinced to do things, solitary journeys - it's just that Revolutions wasn't quite as human in regards to cowardice.[/spoiler] And it's expanded on a world that could be very interesting to interact with down the trail.Oh yes - early on I found myself wondering why everyone looks so impassive when they enter a lift. It's like they have a Standard Elevator Pose that they assume. Is that good battle tactics, or just the actors?Overall, though, I wasn't disappointed. Like certain anime, there was a lot in there not spelt out for you, and figuring out what it means is half the fun. Is spoonfed plot important? Maybe for some, but I don't really care for it... I like a movie that lasts after I've left the cinema.To echo a previous poster: don't wait through the credits, there's no final reward. The music's cool, though.</blockquote>
