    What did you think. I absolutely loved it. Plot was tight, graphics were phenomenal. I loved the movie.

    I liked the Indian connection as well. During the credit the soundtrack was peppered with it.

    Indian connection? There was an indian connection?

    I couldn't agree more with you airavata. The movie was spectacular. I was so impressed with how the story was played out, how all of the graphics done actually looked real (unlike the burly brawl between smith and neo in the first one), and the action....OOOOOOOHHHH THE ACTION! They are sure to get a nice fight scene nomination come oscar time. Maybe even Best Movie this time.

    I have to recommend anyone wanting to go see it...if you can go see it in an imax. It was so great how the imax made the movie look and feel. It was definately worth the extra two bucks I spent to go to it instead of the regular theatres.

    Was it just me or did that movie so set up for another sequal? I know they SAY that this was the last one, but a sequal would just play in so well.

    *WARNING POSSIBLE SPOILER*

    Plus, what's with the little girl and the sunrise? The oracle says she made it, but other than that we don't really have any idea of who or what she is. I swear...there HAS to be a sequal!

    In-fucking-credible...........damn, if you aren't impressed by this movie in anyway then check your pulse, it is likely you're dead and don't know it.

    Those who saw pronbab;y asked the same question as me.


    *********SPOILER************
    What happens to Neo?

    I don't know...he sort of just faded away. I didn't think he died, but it sure didn't give us any for-sure outcome. That's why I suspect a sequal...so many loose ends to the story. PLUS...what are the machines going to use for power now? Humans? I can't see the human race going along with that plan.

    I believe only those humans who want to be free will be free. They never said anything about letting everyone go. As for the loose ends you're right. The movie does leave many options for a sequel....the main being what happens to Neo. The oracle suspects they'll see him again but he looked dead to me after the battle.

    I couldn't disagree with you guys more. I was very disappointed by it. By no means was it a bad movie, infact it was a fairly good one, but no where near what you guys are saying about it. The story was terrible, the ending was the worst ending I've ever seen, almost nothing was explained well, and that retarted scene with the neo's hand swinging and hitting Smith was the worst and funniest scene of all three movies.

    Pros: Hugo Weaving is incredible, and Agent Smith will go down in history as one of the greatest bad guys ever. That speach he had when him and Neo were in the bottom of that pit was incredible. Good fighting between Smith and Neo except when it looked like a video game, but fortunately there wasn't much of that this time. Zion fight was sweet.

    It'd be sweet if they made another Animatrix to explain everything.

    Hope of a sequal?
    I wouldn't count on it.
    Loose ends? There was really only one if you look at what was brought up in the other movies.
    As for the Oracle's comment at the end about seeing him again, refer to architect's speach from reloaded.

    Guys, the movie sucked. Yes, it was a visual extravaganza, and the effects where good, but it was severely lacking in some points. First, the brothers seemed to make every effort of actually making a more deeply engrossing story line and instead seemed to coast off of what was already established. If they wanted a sequal, they had plenty of oppertunities to deepen the mystery.

    Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge fan of the trilogy. Seen them all multiple times, spent hours discussing what the hell was going on and what possible explanations might be, and just got back from an IMAX showing of 3, but you gus need a reality check.

    Ever looked at the script for the second? Its about 5 pages long. There was that little dialogue. What happened here is we all fell in love with the first one and accepted anythign they threw our way as for as sequals went.
    The second was mainly a special effects bonaza and everthing that worked to further the plot in that movie could be put into 40 minutes, if that.
    The third just tied up the loose ends. It explained what it had to to let movie goers walk away happy.
    Christ, I could write a list about a page long on how to make three, and especially two, better.

    Yeah, they were good movies, but they are done. A movie about what happens to Neo? What are you, blind? The war is over, smith is defeated; THERE ARE NO MORE BAD GUYS.

    Any questions you still have, save one, are either your own making 'cause you don't like what they put in front of you and are in denial of it, or are so easily glossed over that they don't need to be explained.

    So for all you folks. The matrix has you.
    Only porblem is that it's over.
    Wake up, and let it go.

    That I will agree with. The side stories add alot of depth to the story that you don't get from just the trilogy.

    You're quite astute.

    Excuse me if i like my endings explained.

    and


    and


    This doesn't add up.


    We are only discussing the movie as entertainment. You seem to be more serious about this then anyone here.


    I agree....let it go......its just a movie which promised good time and delievered. You didn't find it totally edearing and engrossing so no need to put others down.

    I could've pulled a better conclusion out of my... HEY HEY, KIDS!

    Seriously though, I think they purposely gave us an unsatisfactory
    open ending because of the Matrix ONLINE game and other things
    they have lined up to take more of our money.

    My ending of choice:

    Neo goes to the Source and sacrifices himself to destroy the
    Matrix. We then see the agents, support programs and other
    AIs fall dead. Various shots inside the Matrix: humans are all
    dead on the ground. Skip to Zion and we see the same thing.
    (Zion, in this case, was another level of the Matrix)

    Screen fades to black and starts unzooming as we see a room
    full of brains in vats. The machines feeding perceptual impulses
    turn off and lights slowly dim to nothing. A delicious irony...

    If you needed that explained, you haven't been paying attention.
    It was all laid out. About the only thing that could have made it any clearer is if they added a fifteen minute dialogue at the end in which a narator explains it all to you. Perhaps the brothers were just assuming you were actually listening to what the characters said, when they did bother to speak.

    Just because I like something doesn't mean I am blind to its short comings, and, in this case, the obvious.


    I'm not the one saying there has to be a sequal when there is no reason for one (and nothign to base it on if there was), trying to find hiding meaning in the obvious, and complaining about going on about all the loose ends. There is only one thing they didn't explain clearly. Just one, and that one isn't all that important.

    Serious? Hell, if you aren't serious, why are you jumping so quickly to defend when some one says its less than perfect?

    Endearing and engrossing? Engrossing? To a point. Endearing? Most deffinately. Great, confusing, and needing another sequal? Not in the least.

    I missed the first 10 minutes of the movie so someone please
    explain something to me: how the HELL is it that Neo's power
    extends in the real world ? A more precise question: triggering
    the EMP himself led to his consciousness entering a buffer zone
    between the real world and Matrix: does Neo have a wireless
    connection or did they just leave that out in the open for us to
    argue over like monkeys ?
