Just a question to those who've seen it:

Does it follow on faithfully from the first film?
i.e. does it give a suitable explanation for why Neo gets involved in fights, when at the end of the last one he found that he could change the Matrix himself and thus had no need to?

Just to let you know, in the first episode, he doesnt change the MATRIX at all.. And YES, it follows faithfully...

glad to hear.

but doesn't he manage to control the Matrix at the end and that's how he defeated the agents?

Quote from film:

Quote:
When the Matrix was first built, there was a man born inside that had the ability to change what he wanted, to remake the Matrix as he saw fit. It was this man that freed the first of us and taught us the secret of the war; control the Matrix and you control the future. When he died, the Oracle at the temple of Zion prophesied his return and envisioned an end to the war and freedom for our people.

4thTime.....

Just see it. I can't explain why, just see it. Your concerns are addressed and answered.....sort of (That's a good sort of by the way)

I really....I can't say much else. There's not much else to say.

JUST GO.

(Funny, I intentionally didn't start a thread on this because all there is to say is that. I mean, there's a LOT to say...but only with people who have seen it.)

Supposedly, the Matrix 3 trailer is featured after the credits of Matrix 2 -- so don't hurry out of the theatre like lemmings.

I usually do stay. After all, you can miss things if you leave. What happens, for instance, at the very end of the credits for Star Wars ep 1? Ditto, what happens at the end of the credits for Harry Potter 2?

I would go but the local theater is sold out till tomorrow. To bad we only have one theater in this town showing the movie

And does the movie leave any plot holes meaning we have to wait till the 3rd movie to fully understand whats going on?

God point, that. It is my experience that more hype = less substance. I am, however, hoping to proven brutally wrong in this instance as Mrs. O'Rights and I plan on seeing it this weekend.

If the lack of press is what you enjoyed most about the first Matrix, then I think you missed out on a lot of the movie. Even if it was hyped like crazy, it would have been great.

Hype != Bad Movie.

Hype + George Lucas = Bad Movie.

Yes, the trailer is at the end of the credits.

Yes, I went to a midnight (10:10 actually) showing.

And, yes, it leaves MAJOR holes and unanswered questions. I really don't see why anyone would be upset about that though - it's not like you're planning on not seeing the third movie.

Not really upset, it just feels better when i'm wondering why the hell did he do that and then have to wait 2 months to find out, still all in all it sounds like its gonna be great fun to see when i can finally get a ticket.....

Got my ticket. They've really greased this. I ordered it over the phone. When I got to the theater to pick it up at lunch time (for a 20:00 show), there was one person in line but I still went to one of the machines. Two screen touches later and a credit card insertion, and I had my ticket and receipts. Doesn't get better than that!

hmm, Good movie, acting was a bit choppy, and the CG a bit dodgy, especially for todays day and age. (that could be because i saw it on a HUGE screen... the biggest ive seen thats not IMAX)..


Buut - Would i pay money to watch it again?


fuck yeah.

Went this weekend. Loved it. But I'm waiting to see what the 3rd one is like. My rating of this one really is going to depend on how well it ties the two together. It takes a lot of concentration sometimes during the conversations. If you happen to talk to your friends then you'll miss a lot. Well done I would say.
