Matrix Reloaded

It's been a while since I posted. I just want to see how many matrix addicts are there on this board. I am a matrix addict and I just can't wait till reloaded hits the box office.

Oops!

I thought my question was silly. I should have asked whether there are any matrix junkies on board.

The graphics, animations, and camera shots sure is amazing, but what I thought was the most fascinating was the concept of the matrix as a symbolism of our reality......how many of us are attached to our jobs 9-5 everyday.......how we are so hopelessly dependent on the matrix (job routine) that we will fight hopelessly to defend it (hence, the agents in the movie)......how the movie portray faith/belief (from the quote "Don't think you can, know you can.")

Just my thoughts.

Well, I have tickets for the opening weekend pre-ordered and I have reserved the video game, so I guess I qualify.

I'm not a Matrix addict, but I'm definitely seeing it as soon as I can!

I'm supposed to see it on Monday at a Warner Brothers screening. I guess they're pretty worried about info/media leaking before the opening. The invite says:

"Absolutely no electronic recording devices of any kind will be allowed in the theatre. This includes cellular phones, PDA's, tape recorders or cameras. These devices will be confiscated and returned after the screening. We recommend that you leave them at home or in your car."

I guess the Treo will have to wait in the car (I'm not going to bother trying to convince security that the thing isn't capable of recording). :-)

I am not an addict. But I hope the movie live up to all the hype. I am going to see it the first day of wide release.

I saw it last night at the WB screening. I happened to like it better than the first one. They also had the preview for the third film, Maxtrix Revolutions, at the end of the film credits.

I'm planning on picking up the AniMAtrix DVD also (in addition to the game and movie tickets). I liked what I saw on their site. If you like animation you might want to check it out.

I took a glimpse of the first of four clips and I like the graphics. I will have to finish the clips to know whether I like the plot.

SOLD OUT!!

I can't believe this. Shows for the first three days are sold out. And it seems like shows for sunday are selling out quickly. It looks like I may settle for a show on sunday night.

there's an article in the newest issue of Entertainment Weekly ("50 cult movies" on cover) about that. They're combatting internet piracy. That's also why X2 opened on the same day worldwide.

Rumors had it out b4 the release. Read.

I saw it a a half packed $5 theatre (I usually pay $10), I liked it.

The CGi of the many-me (agents smith) during the fight, were smooth but noticible.

And just in case you didn't get the movie, this might explain it. He hasn't updated the page to the current newsletter, so you might have to check back in a couple of days.

My Treo 600 is my phone, my PDA, my watch, and my MP3 player. Oh yeah, I take a picture once in a while with it. Convergence is such a great thing.

Well, if he's being serious in the page that _is_ there, he creates a special sort of irony. It's only about software to the 'software-inclined'.

some of you might find this interesting, then:

Saw it

I went to see it on Thursday. It was great. Cannot wait till November to see the final installment. I have a hunch that November will not be the last of it though. Perhaps they will make a prequel a la a Star Wars?

OK, saw it yesterday, and while it wasn't quite up to the level as the first one, it was much better than I expected given some reviews I've heard.

How was Neo able to stop those machines outside the Matrix? I think this threw a lot of people, including myself off.

I don't have a solid theory on that yet, but either Neo's bucking of the way things were supposed to go has caused a rift between the 'world of the real' and the matrix (hence allowing things like Agent Smith to possess Bain), or perhaps what they think is the real world is simply another level to the matrix. ...or maybe he just had a lot of built-up static electricity.

You should have put a spoiler warning on that one.
