Matrix Revoltutions
Oh damn. I misspelled 'Revolutions' in the title. Oh well, can't change it now. 
I'm looking forward to it quite a bit. But I just get a bad feeling about how they're going to resolve things. I probably won't be able to see it for a while, so post your thoughts here so I can gnash and wince at the bad ending, all while keeping my hopes up that it's really better than what everyone is saying.

For one, how the heck did Neo stop the machine assault in the 'real' world? And by the same token, how did agent Smith infiltrate what's-his-name's body? The whole 'Matrix within a Matrix' idea doesn't fly with me at all, and I'm curious as to how the W Bros. explain this.
For two, I'd like to know if Neo was the first to pick love over life, or if every other 5 avatars did the same...thus continuing the same (but different than the Architect said would happen) cycle.
And for three, Neo is the 6th avatar. Come on, we all know that the number 6 never wins or ever gets squat. So that leads me to believe that the child of Neo and Trinity (hey, you don't have a 4-smiley scene in a movie without future ramifications) is truly 'The One'. Much as Anakein was thought to be 'The One', yet his son Luke was truly 'The One'.
*geek*
at the end she wakes up. then gets torn apart by the machines.
If so, I'm gonna go see it- gotta day off, gonna beat the crowds!

turns out Neo really died in the first one. the rest was just Trinity's dream.

Listen buddy, if this is another one of your 'I can't believe they killed off Hagrid at the end' posts.....

Yeah, I've heard this one too, it's a very nice exit, but is kind of flawed, oh well, I won't nitpick it so close to the deadline, I got my tickets, I'm really really looking forward to it.
I watched 'the matrix' on TBS the other night and inbetween commercials they talked about revolutions and stuff, one of the executive producers, and most of the cast said that they were really excited about the series because it wraps up nicely, and the ending is well done.
granted this is from as biased a source you can get, I'm glad SOMEONE is confidant it will have a satisfying ending.
either way, I'm sure I'll enjoy the movie a lot, even if the ending is disappointing.
The only reason why I watched it, though, is because my friend told me that he's going to get tickets for a showing sometime this week, and I couldn't bear seeing the 3rd without having seen the second.
period.
(dammit, my brain just isn't working correctly lately... can't believe i misspelled their names)
If this is what big-budget freedom does to filmmakers, they should be kept in chains. Louder, longer, more expensive and dumber than its predecessors, "Revolutions" is a mediocrity that will provide escapism only to those who head for the theater exits.
and guessing from the second film and its semi psuedo- profundity this was to be expected . . .
From this Rolling Stone review:
At the risk of understatement, The Matrix Revolutions sucks.
oh yeah, this'll be a good movie.
weird.

i'm gonna see it. maybe thurs or fri. an odd thing i've noticed is there aren't a lot of t.v. commercials. maybe i've been watching the wrong shows/channels, but i haven't seen any t.v. spots that i can remember.
really? i've seen almost every one. in fact, i was getting worried that they were going to reveal too much in all the smaller trailers they've let out of the bag (each one includes about 3 seconds of footage not shown in any other trailer).
if nothing else, the fight scenes look like they will be enjoyable eye candy on the big screen. and i can always get into hugo weaving as the ultimate bad guy. that rolling stone review just sounded like they went in expecting a particular ending, and the wachowskis didn't do it.
in fact, if anything, RS implied they leave the ending almost as open-ended as the original matrix. i suppose that would tick me off, going in expecting SOME sort of final payoff.
even if it turns out the "revolution" was all an elaborate computer program to give the sleeping people something to occupy them to prevent them from actually waking up. i mean, that's STILL a payoff, depressing as it might be. but if it all turns out to be some expansion pack of the sims that some kid was playing, i will throw shit at the screen. not the generic "stuff i can't be bothered to identify for lack of an imagination." i am talking actual fecal matter hitting the screen, and then a quick dash out the closest fire escape.
hell, it's gottsa be better than the upcoming "looney tunes: back in action," right?

Oh man, I wish I was watching the same movie as you because I couldn't stand it. I wanted to. I loved the first one. I thought the fight scenes were boring and the plot was uninteresting. I hated the entire Zion part. All around a disappointment.
A little off topic, sort of..... anyone here see Equilibrium? It's kind of a Matrix rip off, but I enjoyed it more. The fight scenes with guns are great.

Okay I read it. Now my question is what the hell did I read? I know that the plot is far out and complicated but please tell me this summary is very poorly written.
