I was just kinda wondering if anyone had plans to see the new matrix movie since it comes out tomorrow. I wish i could but i have to work :( If anyone sees it could you tell me how it was??

I probably won't see it until this weekend, but it looks pretty good. The 2nd one was rather disappointing story-wise, but the fight scenes were at least good. My least favorite parts of the movies are the bits with the ship and it being attacked, and Zion... sometimes I wish they'd just get back to the action.
I just hope it doesn't end with Neo waking up to a computer screen that says "Wake up, Neo...", and the scenes from the first movie starting again. Matrix: Groundhog Day.

Some of my friends and I are going to go see it Friday night. I'm counting down the seconds until then :fun:

Don't see the movie. Yuck. Pretend the series ended after the highway chase in Reloaded.

almost similar to my groups philosophy on the movie- the entire trilogy is actually only one movie long under the title The Matrix and the rest of it is just rumors. entirely unrelated. not worth your time.

well, as they filmed the second and third "films" at the same time, there was no possible way that this one was going to be good. Matrix Reloaded just sucked too much to give Revolutions the remote possibility of a decent storyline.

Reloaded was excellent compared to Revolutions... if I didn't know they did film them at the same time, I wouldn't believe it.

Well, I have some serious mixed feelings about it.
It's VERY easy to just say it sucked; the first one was godly and the other two were horrible.
If you don't think about it at all, it rocks. There's great special effects, good scenery, and lots of Matrixy stuff. There's actually some humor in it too, suprisingly.
Then (BEWARE, MAJOR SPOILER!) if you think about it a bit more, you hate it. The part with the face of sentinels just doesn't make sense - why would the computers care about that. Why not just talk with that huge, deep, apprehensive voice? Also, the machine city had creative architecture. There wre spires and towers on the buildings, stuff that the machines would not need. A little lack of thought on that one, too much artistry.
The ending is very easy to shoot down. Who wants peace betwen humans and machines?? Everyone wanted the humans to win and somehow miraculously destory the entire world of machines in one movie. Not gonna happen folks. I think the Wachaoski (sp?) brothers just couldn't think of a way to end it like that, so peace is the only option. There's not telling that the machines won't just make their way into Zion and then crush whatever humans are left with one blow. And what's the deal with the Oracle at the end?
Finally, if you think about it REALLY hard, you like it again. Very rarely do you have a movie in which things are not explained very slowly to you. In the end, Neo and Agent Smith both die. Why? Remember earlier in the movie the oracle said that Neo and Smith were opposites. It's like matter and antimatter, (-1) + 1 = 0. They both annihilated eachother. Trinity had to die if Neo did (and vice versa) because it wouln't be a happy ending if one was very sad. Instead, they were both martyrs, in a way. Trinity saved Neo, then died. Neo saved humanity, then died. When Smith was gone, all his little viruses that he assimilated turned back into the original, hence the Oracle in the big hole.
I'm still not fond of the whole peace thing, but I'll get over it. It seems that the movie was left fairly open ended, considering that this is only a cease fire, not the end of the war for sure.
END OF SPOILER
This movie is still worth seeing if you have the opportunity. Just make sure you've seen the first two or it will make even less sense than it already does.
Supposedly, if you watch the third one then go back and watch the second again, things make tons of sense. The little hints and details that they give away in Reloaded come back and change the way Revolutions works. I'm going to try that soon.
My opinions.
