Whats gonna happen tomorrow??? :o :o :o :o
What is this 'Matrix Revolutions' film anyway??? <_< Is it like an old 80's flick??? :blink:
how would any body have the film when it isn't at the cinema until tomorow :lol:
There are media screenings before the films release, security however is very high for this film with bag searches, ID checking etc. I know somebody who saw it on Monday and he said the first 15 minites is all talking and it explains alot about the matrix, what is real etc. and it is a bit hard to understand it all, however the Agent Smith Fight scene is very good. Impossible to sneak in a camera. Cinema workers should get a screening tonight so maybe a vcd out early tommorow.
have you heard of The Matrix or Matrix Reloaded? It is kind of hard to belive you haven't The Matrix was the first dvd to ever sell more than a million copiesw and reloaded has already sold 4 million. If you haven't heard of it then you must have been in a fall out shelter for the last 5 years. Anyway they are awesome scifi filmsQuote:

So you didn't detect the irony in that, then?Quote:
it wos just a matter of time b4 a newbie asked this question
And as for all this noob-bashing... it's getting to sound like the masons on these boards... weren't we all new once? surely more people who know what they are doing means, eventually, more sources?? So, why not a polite point in the direction to the FAQ's or to a sticky thread instead of the arrogant "I know but you don't - p*ss off, lmfao"
Or maybe there could be a new forum just for the vetrans... online-ego.com?
ive seen a few more new topics of this film out today
Apparently from a few other bits ive been reading, its on IRC now, so should be on Suprnova very soon....... i hope :huh:

i understand wat ur sayin, but ur generalising a bit, there are lot of experienced members out there that ae very helpful, and its only a small minority that have no manners and act arroganly. To be honest alot of the time the sacastic reply's are usually a result of a suipid posts where the author has not taken the time to use his or her brain.Quote:

This Seems To Be A Good Review(May Contain Spoilers)
The eye-popping, heart-stopping last hour and a half of "The Matrix Revolutions" more than makes up for everything plodding and ponderous that has taken place since the mind-blowing first hour of the 1999 original.
Astonishing in scale and momentous in scope, it encompasses a spectacular battle between the scrappy, out-numbered but heavily armed defenders of Zion (humanity's last refugee city hidden deep beneath the Earth's scorched surface) and a million-strong swarm of enemy sentinels (those frightening, giant squid-shaped robots) invading from the machine-ruled surface world.
But the monstrous melee may be for naught if uber-human messiah Neo (Keanu Reeves) cannot defeat the invincibly evil, incalculably self-replicating rogue computer program known as Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) in a simultaneous, nuclear-strength airborne-kung-fu showdown inside what's left of the crumbling Matrix (that virtual world pulled over the eyes of the comatose majority of mankind kept in stasis by the machines who feed off our life-force).
Bold in the questions it answers, fearless in refusing to answer them all, and boasting quite a few seat-gripping twists, the movie's mammoth final act -- which also follows Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Neo (recovered from his "Matrix Reloaded" cliff-hanger coma) on a perilously unprecedented venture into the Machine City itself -- was certainly worth the wait.
But before "Revolutions" gets to this payoff, you'll have to slog through an opening reel or two at least as loquaciously pseudo-philosophical as any of the endless prattle in last summer's sagging sequel.
All the trilogy's ills are at an apex here, from a patience-trying visit to the goth-punk-S&M lair of "Reloaded's" nonsense-spouting greasy French villain Merovingian (Lambert Wilson), to the endless Freudian rehashing of every little concept ("Love is a word -- what's important is what the word implies...Karma is a word, like love..."), to the lack of credible passion between Neo and Trinity (their kisses are so stiff it's like watching Al Gore make out with Al Gore).
Even the cerebral and splendidly slithery Agent Smith isn't immune from folly, partaking in a ridiculous muah-ha-ha bad-guy laugh after usurping the body of a pivotal character, giving himself super-sentient powers of prescience.
In fact, if you trimmed $100 million worth of pretension off the budget of "Revolutions," its first act would be the kind of B-movie sci-fi claptrap that makes you want throw popcorn at the screen -- even with one of "The Matrix's" signature slow-mo, ceiling-walking, shrapnel-storm shootouts thrown in for good measure.
But when the earth-boring sentinels lay siege to Zion in what becomes an exhausting, tense and staggering action set piece, packed with seamless special effects, the picture picks up exponentially, and the writing-directing Wachowski Brothers never take their foot off the gas until the closing credits roll.
I still have many nits to pick with this frustratingly imperfect trilogy: What's with the obnoxiously wide-eyed and clichéd eager-soldier character called The Kid? What fool designed the huge, lumbering, impractical mechanized battle-bots that Zion freedom fighters strap into to fighting the sentinels? Why do Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and his crew wear tattered-rag get-ups onboard their hovercraft when they have plenty of earthy-fashionable tunics back in Zion? Why is there no mention of the billions of humans "living" inside the Matrix -- or that these oblivious hoards Neo originally set out to save from their artificial existence must be terrified by their world's disintegration and reshuffling at the hands of the omnipresent (what with all his clones) and seemingly omnipotent Agent Smith?
But despite its flaws, when all is said and done, "The Matrix Revolutions" brings the groundbreaking, epic sci-fi serial to a worthy "wow" of an ambiguous conclusion.
hmm yeah, not all the reviews are bad, but they all seem to agree its full of pretentious philosophical garbage,
(I cut out some minor spoilers)
(bbc news)Quote:
Revolutions is the final part in the Matrix science fiction film trilogy, which has proved a global hit. Towards the end of The Matrix Revolutions, one of the film's minor characters expresses precisely what many in the audience are feeling.
Reeves returns as Neo
"It doesn't make any sense," he says.
And he is right. The third and final part of the Matrix trilogy concludes in a blaze of obfuscatory special effects, leaving the audience dazed and dulled.
No-one really expects sequels to be better than the original, but Matrix Revolutions is a crushing disappointment in almost every way.
As a member of the film's target audience would say: "This sucks."
There are reportedly more than 800 separate special effects in the film but if the film's directors and writers, the Wachowski brothers, had devoted as much energy to the script then the trilogy might well have concluded on a high note.
But the final film is so poor that it leaves a permanent stain on the well-regarded original.
The problem is that the script feels like it was written about 10 minutes before the actors walked on the set, with two types of dialogue: clunky action-film clichés and spiritual babble.
Revolutions essentially is a two-hander - as the human race fights to save the last human city from obliteration by the machines, Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) must journey to the Machine City on a pseudo spiritual quest to try and save humanity and battle the powerful Agent Smith.
The Wachowskis, in attempting to give the trilogy a broader, more epic feel - something George Lucas did with Star Wars - have managed to bury some of the film's more interesting ideas and themes beneath a layer of pure bombast and irrelevance.
The film is littered with scenes featuring minor characters who only serve to clog the film up and slow the action down.
Minor characters clog up the action
The original Matrix was praised for its originality and it is a shame that so much of the final film is lifted from other science fiction movies.
The tagline for the film is Everything That Has a Beginning Has An End, but sadly the film has been left open ended.
The prospect of a fourth Matrix film will leave many fans of the original saddened - hasn't enough damage been done already?
:( I've Only Seen The First And After Hearing Bad Comments About The 2nd I Didn't Watch It...I Hope This Isn't The Same :(

1 fucking hour for me...
I already had my shower, had some breakfast, took a shit(two actually, I'm excited :o (I don't get out much)).
45 minutes I'm leaving to the theatre to catch the 10:00 a.m. one. Damn I can't wait. In fact, I'm starting to see lines of green text around me...I think...I think I'm going crazy.
I am not a fanboy, in fact I have never even played enter the matrix and I love games (heard bad things). I just didn't get around to seeing "the matrix" or "reloaded" in theatre, though revolutions I am.
I can see it now. I got my popcorn, my slurpy(Damn I feel like a schoolboy again, times with my brother when we were little....my mom... :( ).
The ol' ball n chain isn't comin so I'm taking my brother....and I'm paying...(that basterd <_< )
Sorry I'm sitting here rambling...I'm real excited and jumpy. I know that breakfast is going to come to me when I'm sitting in that theatre.
41 minutes 'till I'm off to the theatre.
ENJOY THE MOVIE BROTHERS!
