Lucky you. It requires Quicktime. To get that, that requires resetting the computer. Not gone on Entmoot? No way.

Matrix fans, what are your favourite parts? I personally love the training in the Matrix.

Lalaith · 05-11-2003, 09:12 AM

the training is very cool, but I love the love story between Neo and Trinity. They are so cute. I'm looking forward to seeing more of them in Reloaded.

The Animatrix are short movies about the system of the Matrix.

***Jonathan*** · 05-11-2003, 10:05 AM

I too love the training. But I think my favourite part is when Neo and Trinity storms the building where Morphius is being held. Lot's of special cool effects and fighting scenes there.

Oh, and guess who just bought a ticket to Matrix Reloaded?

. I'm going to see the film May 21.

You already have your ticket? Midnights preview? (if you call it that way in sweden)

No, I never goes to opening nights. But I'll see the film in the evening the same day as the opening one.

Lalaith · 05-11-2003, 11:48 AM

You mean Matrix starts already on May 21 in Sweden? That's unfair. In Austria it starts on 22.
Should I go to the midnights preview? No, I don't think so. I'm too busy with school. The next opening night for me will be RotK.

***Jonathan*** · 05-11-2003, 12:08 PM

Haha, I'll see Reloaded before all of the Austrians

When does Revolution start in Austria? In Sweden, it's some day in November I think.

Lalaith · 05-11-2003, 12:21 PM

November. I guess. but that's nothing compared between the long gap of nothing between Matrix and Reloaded. I will survive waiting for it.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-14-2003, 02:04 PM

I'm seeing Reloaded in less than 24 hours! Yay! Just 45 minutes less, but oh well. Yay.

Also, can't wait for all the animatrix episodes to come out of DVD...I think that's happening in June, isn't it? I can't watch them on my computer, but maybe if I have a job by then, or got money for my birthday...*grin*

My favorite part is probably...oh, I dunno, there's so many! For special affects and the like, my favorite would be either the training sequence, or when they have that fight in the building where they're holding Morpheus--the one in the lobby. But I really enjoy trying to figure out what philosophy and mythology they stuck in there. I can definitely see some of Plato's Republic, or at least I think I can. . .

Yep, yep! So fun, looking for those. And how blatant could they get, naming him Neo?

I posted a link on Page 3 of this thread.......the site has some amazing articles on symbolism/religious references in Matrix

Thanks for the link, Coney!

Now, I'm not sure I'll ever get to sleep tonight, because I've just sat down to read every single article they have there and I know there will be no rest for me until I have, but oh well.

Philosophy is a wonderful thing. Perhaps I should switch my major. . .heh. . .

Treebeard's apprentice · 05-15-2003, 04:06 AM

I just saw Reloaded! Go me!

Fight scenes were great, even though they all seemed the same. My friend thought there weren't enough of them. She was kinda turned off by the philosophy and 'blah blah blah'(direct quote

). I, however, thought that it was too much of a part of the movie to leave out. Plus I am kinda interested in philosophy.

However, I did think they took a little too much time setting up the story and explaining stuff that didn't need explaining. That meant they didn't do enough work on the ending. Don't want to spoil it, but I know a lot of people will be upset with it.

Just my two cents.

Helix · 05-15-2003, 01:03 PM

The philosphy is the best part about the Matrix! I haven't seen Reloaded yet, so I can't vouch for it, but I liked the exposition of the original Matrix. The set-up really made the movie better, IMO.

Strongbow · 05-15-2003, 01:15 PM

i dont really like the matrix <shrugs>

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-15-2003, 02:08 PM

GRRRR ARRRRRR AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*screams in rage and frustration*

I had tickets for the 10:15 show this morning, had my alarm set so I'd wake up and go, but I didn't wake up until 11!!!!!!!!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

That's $7 wasted, and I'm out of money, absolutely NO MONEY and I don't have a job yet in fact I've barely started looking and there goes that money, I'm not going to be able to afford another ticket for a long time so there it goes, I can't see it, and I was so looking forward to seeing it today, that's ALL I was talking about yesterday, and just because I stayed up a little late last night I don't get to see it for another age and....ARRRRRRRRRRRR

Arathorn · 05-15-2003, 03:06 PM

Matrix: Reloaded ROCKS!

I watched it twice today and yeah they had more than enough fight/chase scenes bit the story and the deeper layers of the Matrix's deception are slowly gradually being peeled.

However, I still can't take out of my mind that Neo is still Ted Theodore Logan trying to fight off Agent Smith who now sports additional "evil usses" and trying to melvin Neo and Friends.

No Way, you say? YES WAY! LOL!
