it is a revolution of the mind and the spirit as much as the body

so 3.

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:32 (twenty-two years ago)

that's about three euros per revolution.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

well it's better than "the patriot" anyhow.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone having a crap in both of my ears and both of my eyes whilst me eating special shit flavour popcorn would be better than the Patriot.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:50 (twenty-two years ago)

there's only one way to confirm this...

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Even in the trailers for Reloaded you could see the weaknesses in the CGI, but the trailer I saw for Revolutions looked nothing short of brilliant. Some of the images from the trailer (particularly the blindfolded Ted Theodore Logan telekinesisizing the sentinels & such above-ground wildness) have really gotten stuck in my mind.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

No, I refuse to watch the Patriot again.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't understand this CGI criticism. the mecha-bots look fine for example. i saw nothing that would hinder my enjoyment of it in that department.

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I wonder if this one will have Not Donald Sutherland in it, too.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Monday, 3 November 2003 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

hahaha

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 3 November 2003 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I doubt if Matress III will be as profound as the fight againt the machines in Cleopatra 2525

― Alan (Alan), Monday, 3 November 2003 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Or even Morris 2273 (new Danniel Peacock futuristic Channel Five brane exploder. Like Harry And Cosh but set in the future AND the past).

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 3 November 2003 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

They're screening this fucker on a bunch of IMAXes around America. One of the screenings is in Columbus. I will be in Columbus on Wednesday for an insurance class. Coincidence?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 3 November 2003 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

ebert & roeper reviewed this last night - 'we are giving this two thumbs up even though it sucks ass' was the gist of it.

― jones (actual), Monday, 3 November 2003 16:34 (twenty-two years ago)

As long as it keeps me distracted 'til Return of the King, I'm good to go.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 3 November 2003 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

That's what extended Two Towers DVDs are for.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't believe that anyone could be at all even intrigued by this after the absolute shittiness of the first Matrix sequel

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:20 (twenty-two years ago)

that bombshell is FAR more fascinating of course. wft, yeh right, every single minute of The Matrix Reloaded was OH SO TERRIBLE, no redeeming features at all. oh no. i mean, even if there was one poor aspect of it that would just render the whole thing completely useless junk wouldn't it? of course. just like with albums - if there's one crap track on there then the whole thing is a shit waste of time.

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

hey, I was super buzzed for Matrix ReLoaded, but it was shitty. Really really shitty. Like Metallica ReLoaded.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck that noize, the freeway scene was one of the best action-movie-sequences of all time.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I love steve and nick!

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

reloaded was a lot better than the first - the main flaw being the rather boring first half.

― ryan (ryan), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

the only criticisms i accept of Reloaded was some poor dialogue and occasional poor delivery from Neo and Morpheus. no complaints about the CGI at all, thought it was fine. and as i said before if you just treat it as live action anime then it's more fitting.

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

"Goodnight Zion, sweet dreams"
"No, you do not really know someone, until you fight them"
the Neo/Chancellor exchange

these are the worst bits of dialogue in the film, the only REALLY bad ones i think. cut those out and i'd be happier.

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

this whole series seem scientifically calculated to completely disinterest me

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

hurray!

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

first of all the green pallete

second the philosophical bombast

then the actors

then the ultraviolence

then the sci-fi premise

then the saturation marketing

then the "cutting-edge digital technology"

then...

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

um, then I enjoy a fucking movie?

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:41 (twenty-two years ago)

this whole series seem scientifically calculated to completely disinterest me

you have great taste in movies amateur!st but i think i feel exactly the opposite! then again i am a sci-fi geek.

― ryan (ryan), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:41 (twenty-two years ago)

so enjoy it, what do you care what i think teeny?

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry ams't, I will not include green in your scarf.

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

ah see i like all those things

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

so amateurist going to see Matrix Revolutions would be as pointless for you as...posting on here that you're not interested?

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:45 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't mind any of those things either but Reloaded was still hogwash

― jones (actual), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Those things could work but we all know my own particular beef with the movies by now.

um, then I enjoy a fucking movie?

The MatriXXX.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

so amateurist going to see Matrix Revolutions would be as pointless for you as...posting on here that you're not interested?

yes and considerably more expensive

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I already shamefully covered how hot I thought the rave scene was; I know it was awful, but it was still hot. :(

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:47 (twenty-two years ago)

It was just too hippy for me.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Fluke, the rave act for people who can't be arsed to go to raves. I guess.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

during Morpheus's speech and the subsequent rave scene i just told myself that 'it's cool, this probably really is how people would behave and react given the situation they're in and after all that's happened'. it happened during the Blitz too you know. down in the tube stations everyone was semi-naked and gurning like bastards to Fluke.

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:52 (twenty-two years ago)

um, then I enjoy a fucking movie?
then I enjoy some other fucking movie! Like LXG! Ha! haHA!

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

if this one features a massive dance-off between humans and robots I might change my mind about the last one

― jones (actual), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

i can't help but think i will not enjoy this one as much as the last one (which i enjoyed more than the first one). as long as they do another Animatrix (surely this film isn't going to end with all the machines destroyed and everything back to how it once was?)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 November 2003 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)

i just hope the sequel will feature more robots in jaunty hats & monocles, like the Animatrix did.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Monday, 3 November 2003 18:15 (twenty-two years ago)

If the new one has robot zombies in it, I'll probably pay full price to see it.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 3 November 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

The VP of my division has roped us all into seeing this at 7am on wednesday! I'd love to be able to complain about this, but I'm really excited!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 3 November 2003 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

well, that would have me excited too!

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 3 November 2003 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I do like the paranoia about web downloads. "We've GOT to show everything at the same exact time around the world or we won't make any money at all!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 November 2003 18:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to be all excited by this but I never got round to seeing the first one and so don't know what's supposed to be happening.

But the second one had pretty fights! And stuff.

― cis (cis), Monday, 3 November 2003 18:35 (twenty-two years ago)

here we go again

they're called goths and they cannot die cuz they're like sexy leather vampire gods dontchaknow

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 11 December 2008 00:46 (seventeen years ago)

True, but the guy totally blindsided me (ok, I saw it coming) by bringing these movies up in conversation while we looked for some sci-fi books or graphic novels or whatever it was he came in for.

I think that a case could be made that the Matrix films DO have a sense of humour, but I'm not sure that the same could be said of their fans, at least IME.

― M0ntell J0rdan S. (and what), Thursday, 11 December 2008 01:03 (seventeen years ago)

never seen that chapelle, funny!!

I haven't gone back and re-watched the first to see what other hints it drops, but I know a massive one is when Neo gets interrogated and you see the giant Batcave TV-bank of The Architect!

3d sequels apparently happening UH

― idgi fridays (blueski), Monday, 24 January 2011 16:10 (fifteen years ago)

Meanwhile, the Wachowskis are also working on a futuristic Robin Hood retelling called Hood, which Reeves says is set to star Will Smith

Matrix sequels debunked. http://screenrant.com/matrix-4-5-bill-and-ted-3-keanu-reeves-rob-97796/

ok this could be awesome

― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Monday, 24 January 2011 17:21 (fifteen years ago)

two months pass...

so someone quickly tell me why the Neo who could do anything he wanted with the Matrix at the end of the first film is here in the third film, seemingly inside the Matrix, having a lame fight and getting his ass kicked.

― Antoine Bugleboy (Merdeyeux), Tuesday, 29 March 2011 23:55 (fifteen years ago)

also why's everyone exploding. I'd say that this film would benefit from a more focused viewing, but.

― Antoine Bugleboy (Merdeyeux), Tuesday, 29 March 2011 23:58 (fifteen years ago)

Awful, awful, awful film.

five months pass...

i've just seen this for the first time since watching it in the cinema, and i am so. fuckin. confused.

Everything based outside the matrix (zion battle scenes etc )is awesome though, they should just have made a terminator sequel and told keanu to take his gere lite codology fuck off

― talking heads, quiet smith (darraghmac), Saturday, 17 September 2011 00:07 (fourteen years ago)

*and* fuck off, obv

one year passes...

This series will be rehabilitated and will become trendy again -- especially with teen males -- before the decade is through. Right now it's obviously at the fifteen year mark of critical disrespect and forgetfulness, but it will make a comeback.

I thought of the series because of this commercial,

this was bad

― marcos, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 20:17 (ten years ago)

70% of this was a corny war movie

― marcos, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 20:20 (ten years ago)

the rest is corny inconsistent gibberish

― marcos, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 20:24 (ten years ago)

i remember seeing this in the theater with my high school friends and we all just simultaneously burst out laughing at the slow-mo close-up punch in the face
