The Matrix

The boy purchased the Matrix Trilogy on BluRay today. I am currently about 50 minutes in to the first one with both kids. Elephant me if Keanu isn't a brilliant actor.

The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash One Fine Saturday. 24/04/2004

Prepare to be disappointed. First movie: a classic Second one: okay, nothing special Third one: terrible Watching them one after another will just make the decline more painfully obvious.
This is MM we are talking about. So as long as he keeps the alcohol input at the right level, the quality decline in the movie quality will be exactly balanced by the quality decline in brain function, and the apparent quality of the series will remain constant throughout.
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

First movie: a classic Second one: boring... a two hour battle scene Third one: excellent... brings the answers and ties everything together.

I think we all agreed it would have been cool if the Wachowski siblings ever made a third one.

(yes|no|maybe)*
Is the correct answer.
Reality is an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol

The second two movies had great cores but were poorly executed, in large part because of all the money they had to make them, in my opinion. To their credit, they are still NOT typical sci-fi action movies, but they do an impression of such at times. The "burley brawl" almost ruined the whole thing for me, and is a perfect example of what's wrong with the sequels - an idea that started out kinda cool (Agent Smith multiplying and taking over other people) but went on for about five times longer than it should have, and ended in a way that left you thinking "Why the f#@$ didn't he do that ten minutes ago??" They needed to stay within the technology of the day, and they failed utterly. The CGI Neo is a joke - when they go back and forth between the virtual and real one, his clothing changes by several shades of "black" ... it's laughable it's so bad. Also, Morpheus - the coolest character in the first one - was reduced to doing terrified reaction shots in a copilot seat in the last one. They introduced too many new characters and wanted us to care about them. Though seeing Zoe (from Firefly) was cool, however briefly ;) In the end though, they did not take the easy way out - they still were a bit enigmatic, if a bit full of themselves, and was not at all the ending I expected, yet on repeated viewings it made sense. I dunno, like the Star Wars prequels they are a mixed bag that aren't as bad as people are remembering (because of what they had to live up to) but could have been much better. Plus if you look at the special features there's an interview on set with Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame, before he was of Mythbusters fame :)
Look at me still talking when there's science to do When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you

Really? I rather enjoyed that scene especially when it "Guides us, and DRIVES us!" :laugh:. I guess I just like the action part.

Yeah, I do agree. I like how he had such an pivotal role in the first one and then became the guy who will always be the "co-pilot". Are we there yet?

From what I remember and I could be mistaken that they wanted to tie the movie into their Massive Online RPG game so the fans can "write the ending". It didn't pan out and left both the movie and the game going "Woah". In other words both failed. I admit the ending still to this day leaves me scratching my head.

I didn't know that! Now this makes me want to go buy the blu-ray trilogy just so I can see that special feature. :)
