However, I'm nearly through it now, and I have to say it adds to the overall story. Helps to fill in some of the gaps from Matrix and Reloaded. Also, the fighting in "bullet time" is fun. And there are some nice unseen video clips, very cool to a Matrix junkie. But overall, this could have been SOOOO much more.
I hear now there is a Matrix MMORPG coming out next year. If anything can bring me back to the dark side (PC gaming), it would be that.
sort of OT but my love for the movie(s) has led me to buy the "Enter the Matrix" videogame. Talk about wooden - Keano's acting is nothing compared to the characters' animation and movements. Let's just say, UT it is not. Still kinda fun though, and the story line was actually written by the Brothers, so for me it's kinda cool.
The more I think about this movie, the more I’m convinced it will have a place in the annals of greatness. Perfect? No. The rave dance and love scene were mindless and excessive. But, on the other hand, the action sequences were outstanding. And although the end was a mishmash of confusing events, which will take the next 6 months to sort out and ponder by geeks like us, we’re having fun doing it. I’ll be seeing it again tonight.
I’m 100 percent convinced there’s a second matrix, btw. The Neo-sentinel confrontation, the Agent Smith-possession, the “sensing” of danger by Neo in the supposed real world, the kisses of life in both movies (particularly in the first when it happened in the “real” world). Everything, I believe, points to a second façade, a second level of defense by the creators of the matrix to thwart off human resistance.
This movie is great, and I’ll tell you why: because we, like the Neos and the Trinitys and the Morpheuses, are going on a ride and waking up from the dreams and illusions of the matrix.
Or maybe the coma was the result of information overload. Neo was “awakening” from the dream within the dream, and his body (in the real world) was fighting the Matrix(es). Wooah!
