Loosely Connected Thoughts About...

The Matrix Revolutions

Then man made the machine in his own likeness. Thus did man become the architect of his own demise.

Not quite but thats a later story. First i would like to quote the legend "What did that explain?" Very little dev ones. very little at all. The Matrix sequels were very much unnecessary, but they had their highlights. I looked forward to the sequel since the first came out, in the end i was dissapointed. And i was sitting in the theater watching previews and it hit me i was goin to be watching the matrix, the new matrix. It didnt seem right. No not right at all. In reality i could care less the outcome of the war, i realized that after the second. And now that i know the outcome, i dont want to know it, its not matrixesque not up to par with the first. Their something about uncertainty that makes a movie better. But no one can be told this, they must see it for themselves.

Ignorance is Bliss

TO THE MOVIE... All action all the time. Some crazy stuff. The war in Zion was like a short film by itself since it was ALL action, swarm after swarm of machines fighting the faithful and true. This goes on for awile, a long while. i forgot about neo until about 15 min in the fight. This is a very polished scene and looks to please. I have to admit the mechs are sort of silly, in all reality a mech is not a feasible weapon, i would rather be in a tank my self. Now would a futuristic society choose a complex system of gears and levers to make legs or simply put wheels on a big piece of metal to make a tank. In contrast, the kalamari are sweet, the swarm like u would think a group of machine squid would swarm. very cool. In all reality the humans never have a chance.

I can shoot straight, if I don't have to shoot too far.

Then thiers the weapons check scene with stikes amazing similarities with a particualr scene from the original. Rehash, yes. O but wait it has an amazing special effect, some people are on the ceiling... yea thats not that cool. What is cool the mp5's morpheus had. Then their is the obligatory dance scene. But this time its bondage style... ooo sweet just like reloaded. Wait that was the worst scene in reloaded. OK you want something fresh how about a neo vs smith fight. aLready been done, thats the story of revolutions. Deja vu as it may be it gets a little tedious. Not that i dont like tedious Obviously the chowski bros decided it would be easier to just make a melting pot then a revolution.

It's mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack; not rationality.

Ka Ching Ka Ching thats the sound money makes. When a certain someone dies, in real life, i actually didnt care. The Matrix has missued death to many times. Eh probly better shes dead. Thats not good. If you kill a main character off the audience should care, a little. Not here, couldnt care less, its gunna be happy in the end, no emotional attachment. And another thing i dont like noing everything is gunna be alright. Thank u the one, always got to win. I hoped for a cool matrixesque ending but no everyone has to be happy.

You go into the arena alone. The lions are hungry for you.

THe final fight was worthy of the matrix. THe only problemo, to much flying. The cg was most prevalent at these times. But unlike the brawl in reloaded the cg is kinda ok. Alot better used than in reloaded. Thank you machines who have human emotions and for some reason all of a sudden have mercy. The ending defies all vulcan logic. Thank u. I did like how the machine collective personifies it self as a big baby, nice touch. Im beggining to think the Wachoski's arent the directors the made themselves out to be in the beggining Maybe it was a fluk. Ill tell you what they are good at though making a lot of money off one idea. And riding that idea to the end of the earth. I doupt this is the last we will here of the matrix. Not if the wachoskis like money and ruining a great movie So all and all this movie is better than most critics will have you believe.Its hurts to think wat will come next. Maybe they will remake the matrix, but this time the whole movie will have a hue of purple. that would be crazy. In all reality its a pretty good film. Its also a pretty big letdown. In conclusion its a good film but i film id rather forget, which does not boad well for its score. Now lets all huddle in a circle and pray the wachowskis know when to stop.

~For those regarded as warriors, when engaged in combat the vanquishing of thine enemy can be the warrior's only concern. Suppress all human emotion and compassion. Kill whoever stands in thy way, even if that be Lord God, or Buddha himself. This truth lies at the heart of the art of combat. ~
