I know you're out there, I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid of us, afraid of change. I don't know the future, I didn't come here to tell you how this is gonna end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world, without you. A world without rules, a world without control, boundaries without borders, a world where anything is possible. Where we go from there, is a choice I leave to you.

It's on the internet already. Search around and you'll probably find it. In my opinion though, it's not the greatest preview. The cutting is so fast and the shots are all rather dark, and it does't show anything that's "amazing", just more shots of people fighting and super quick shots of setinels flying around.


Get me a link? I searched for it and couldnt find it

Not kidding at all. I quote I just read that I totally agree with is "This movie is to the original Matrix as Highlander 2 is to the original Highlander." The characters just never shut up, spewing out the Wachowski's trademark "meaningless big words". The first movie got it right by having way more action than dialogue. In the sequel, the characters just drone on and on, and then when they do fight, it's for 5 minutes. There are extended fights scenes in the film, but all of them suffer from lopsided visual effects. One minute your seeing some amazing visuals, the next your seeing stuff that's executed just plain bad.

There are a thousand other things I could bitch about, I'll wait until more people see it so it's not ruined.

Jus tried the third one and it worked fine for me. There might be caps on them and their access is only sporadically available. Just gotta keep trying.

Just got back from seeing it. It's not light on action but there is def more verbal plot then the first. Since I already know the basis of the 3rd installment I found the second movie to be just as good as the first. I do agree that while the visuals were great, there are some spots that are obviously CGI. The "Architech" explains more about the 3rd movie then most people got, which kinda pissed me off because more then one person yelled out "get back to the action" while he was giving his explination. I'm all for action flicks but I'd rather have a movie with a plot. This one has both. Some people just don't want to take the time to think about the deeper meaning of the whole trilogy and how the 3 movies connect. Instead they just want to see people "blow shit up". The funny thing was there where only 2 other people who stayed all the way through the credits to see the trailer for the next one.

HEhe yeah, the plot is a lot more developed now, I wonder if people got the programming nuances only computer programmers would understand, like how and why backdoors exists...and why the title should be Matrix Rebooted not Reloaded...but then, it'd give everything away......;)

At my theatre it was different, a lot of people stayed back, I guess it's because some ppl walked out and the ushers told them, "hey guys stay back , there's a short preview of Revolutions." I saw everyone come back in and sit through the credits.

Hm, I wanna talk about some of the stuff in the movie, see if you guys catch anything I didn't. But, can't spoil yet, so let's give it a week ? How about that?

They never did explain the "twins". Did I miss it or did they not explain what they were? Btw both the Enter the Matrix video game and the Animatrix explain alot of stuff they don't fill in the movie, like the kid who followed them around in Zion. If you haven't seen the Animatrix yet it's pretty sweet, though I was hoping that more then just the Final Flight of the Osirus (sp?) wasn't the only GCI one.
