Yeah, they spent about 20 minutes in the Matrix, the rest of the movie was just outside stuff. I liked the end fight, mainly because the environment was so cool. The thunder, lightning, and all that rain (especially what the rain did outside those giant energy balls). I think the movie needed a bit more time to get a bit more polished, then it would have been great. There were a few scenes, mainly in the end fight that needed some work. Did you notice the fist that started out like something out of toy story and ended up looking pretty good?

wow. that SUCKED.
Actually, it wasn't TOO bad, but it was nothing fantastic. Lack of action was just one of many flaws (the shootout scene didn't even count, that was just the lobby recreated on a smaller scale with the exact same moves). The ending blew. The plot really didn't cover much, it was actually pretty short... with long drawn out scenes that had little to do with anything... the end fight was alright, but extremely Dragon Ball Z-esque.
I have to admit though... those APU Mech things kicked loads of ass... being one of those guys would've been SO sweet :drool:

I don't know if I will mention anything you don't want to know, but you've been warned. Anyways, saw it tonight, not a bad movie, but I've definitely seen better (Matrix 1 & 2). I still say see it, but I think it is a one time thing. I'd spend the second showing just watching for the bad computer generated animation. There are some really amazing spots, and some really awful spots. Generally, if they are doing machines, they are great, if it's people, it's awful. I didn't like the plot much, and the movie wasn't all that violent compared to the other two. The ending is very anticlimactic, and makes you wonder. I'll stop before I give anything away though.

SPOILERS (maybe)
I saw this on monday, forums now works, so i'll talk...
I thought it was great.
No Koung-Fo and no agents (with ear peices) was a nice change.
A nice story, although when Smith said "Why stand up!" and Neo said "Because i chose to" i was a bit mithed.
Shame Smith was infected and could not fight Neo on even terms.
The 'Docks' section was realy cool. I think i liked this because of the Aliens 2 feel (if the sentinals were bio instead of metalic). All the Zion maries with the APU's

Yeah, that was the best part of the movie. One question though, if they put all that metal into an APU, why no cockpit?

Because then it would 
- not look like a loader from Aliens2
- cover the actor from the camera
- losse real appeal
It's like the story i told my little bro when i damaged his elbow:
Tell your friends you sneeked into the Palice, stole the crown jewls and was running away when a guard was behind you and hit you which his trunction (knite stick), but you jumped over the mote and escaped.
"The palice does not have a mote."
As long as you beleve you stole the jewls, i'll forget the mote

When I first watched it, I thought it was alright. Then I saw it the second time in IMAX, which was 10 times better. If you watch it more than once you'll enjoy it more, it's because it is such a complex storyline. Everything has a purpose.

I really don't see that complex a story line. It only covers about 4 hours of time. I'd spend most of a second showing watching for more shoddily done CGI.

Matrix 2 & 3 sucked.
any true fan of the Warchowski brothers work and a fan of the original and true Matrix would agree.
the sequals were wasteful fluff riding out on the Matrix name.
... on a side note i saw Haunted Mansion. not bad. not bad at all.
Rick Baker is the horror effects GOD.

The ending was the WORST anti climax i have ever seen. Really disapointing, i have to say.

Corrupt program now requires constant reboots and does not function at all in majority of instances. Designed with a web browser component to replace AOL, it has exceeded our expectations by being more crashy and unreliable and with worse tech support. We didn't think it was physically possible! A general product recall is advised; when it does function it seems to require background processes Girl 0.1Beta to stave off further crashes. Will someone PLEASE remove that code, and insert Backbone 1.9 in its place? That's assuming we even bother to continue this prog.
