leXX Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 I have a feeling that the matrix trilogy is going to be the best trilogy ever to grace our screens. These are very exciting times, what with the Animatrix being available for download in 3 days time and the Enter the Matrix game being released on the same day as Reloaded, I'm soooo excited about it all. Have you all seen the Superbowl Reloaded trailer? What did you think? http://www.thematrix.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Glorfindel Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 I totally agree, The Matrix Tril will be amongs the best Sci-Fi movies ever, along with 2001: Space Odyssey and 2010: Space Odyssey, and SW, though I dislike both Space Odyssies because they were both long and boring, but still for that time period 2001: SO was a big Sci-Fi achievment, anyways, Matrix will be a big contender with SW if u ask me.

Taos Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 I couldn't believe what I saw during the superbowl. That was a simply amazing thing.......one of the better trailers I have ever seen. I was all over myself. When does it come out again? May for the Reloaded and November for Revolutions? Sounds like May will be a sweet month.....to add to your little list there LeXX, Knights for Xbox will most likely be in May as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerothorn Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Matrix was ok, but overrated. 3 star, maybe 2 and 3/4th star movie. It starts out good, the premise is fine, but Keanu Reeves is annoying as ever, the plot is cliche, the romance sucks, and the last parts of the film just dissolve into random things blowing up. Not bad for an action film, but I can think of many many many films that are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 I got the trailer downloaded, I watch it everyday at least once It looks so good....the tripping, the guns....*drools* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrift Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Yeah I can't wait to see these. I just hope they don't balls it up. I kind of thought that the ending for the first one was really fantastic...I'm a little bit uncertain on whether or not they shouldn't have just rested on their laurels. I dunno...It's a bit like Athletes retiring with a great big send-off then coming out of retirement again 5 years later when they could have stayed out and gone down in the history books as one of the greatest legends of all time, rather than returning and then having a sub-par comeback and sullying the memories of their greatness. Mind you I had those fears with the Star Wars Prequels, and they were allayed. Though anyway, I can't wait to see it! Though I haven't seen much of the trailers. Worth the download?

Aerothorn Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 The film seems to be mostly popular with younger males, I suppose, and my brain is closer to my dad's then my peers(In the way I think, not in wisdom or anything) and I'm less maleish and macho then most guys. For example, films I love are Ghost World, Donnie Darko, The Royal Tenembaums, some other stuff(Those are 2001 releases). The only action film off the top of my head that I really enjoyed was The Spirits Within. I don't go to theatres much(Episode 2 was ruined for me by the guys guffawing and hooting and stuff throughout the entire movie) so this year I've only seen a few things that came out in 2002, one being Adaptaion, which, like Being John Malkovitch, rules, and Scotland P.A.(Which is the story of McBeth, except in a burger joint...its pretty dark but pretty funny in a twisted sorta way) and Shackleton, which Kenneth Branau should get Best Actor for but he won't because the Academy only voted for popular, big budget movies. Which is why I don't follow the Academy. Just my rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well The Matrix was never meant to be one film only. They had the whole story (all 3 parts) written out from the start and it was always intended to be realeased as a Trilogy but they never had enough money to make the other two films till now. Just remember, these are not sequels, they are part 2 & 3 of a trilogy. Worth the download? I should say so!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notion Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Aerothorn, you ever been interested in game design? On topic, I think what happened in the Matrix was all merely a set-up for the next two movies. I mean, Neo running around dispatching agents was probably the visual those two brothers had in mind when they were writing up their ideas.

Darth Simpson Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Keanu Reeves is annoying as ever I hear that! I'm kind of tired of the Matrix. It's a good movie, no doubt, but I' getting bored of the hype and fuzz. But yeah, I'm looking forward to the two sequels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannibal Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Originally posted by swatteam i heard that the graphics of enter the matrix is a bit sucky, considering abt not buying it... They waited to long to put this out. It's like they had no idea that the movie was gonna be that big, then when it was they didn't move on it. Now that I think about it they had problems with the company's that were suppose to be publishing the game, didn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerothorn Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Yes I'm interested in game design. Why? And Keanu Reeves isn't bad...he's just not good, not a very talented guy. For The Matrix, they just needed an actor who could walk around and say "Huh? Whas goin on?" the whole movie, and Reeves fit the bill.\ And yes, the whole thing was written out from the beggining, but that doesn't make them not sequels. The whole Star Wars thing was written out from the beggining and they still call em sequel and prequels. A sequel is simply something that comes after the first film.

leXX Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 I have to disagree. SW is refered to as Original Trilogy and Prequel Trilogy. Ep 1, 2 and 3 are sequels, the original trilogy ep 5 & 6 are not refered to as sequels. A sequel is an afterthought if the original is succesful. Again, Reloaded and Revolutions are not sequels, they are part 2 and 3 of a trilogy, big difference. Don't forget to download 'The Second Renaissance Part 1' from the official site at some point today. I don't know when they are putting up but it should be soon hopefully.

Aerothorn Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 No, the prequels were not an afterthough, Lucas has said he had this all mapped out in his head from the beggining. And let me look up the dictionary definition of sequel. se·quel ( P ) Pronunciation Key (skwl) n. 1. Something that follows; a continuation. 2. A literary, dramatic, or cinematic work whose narrative continues that of a preexisting work. 3. A result or consequence. See Synonyms at effect. Therefore, the next Matrix movies are sequels. Maybe not in your language, but in the English language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let me look up the dictionary definition of sequel. The pequels weren't an afterthought but they didn't exist either. George Lucas would say something like I had the idea of how he became Vader in my head. But that's not written. He didn't actually write the prequels till he was gonna make em.

Maybe not in your language, but in the English language. Here I am being perfectly nice and all of a sudden you have an attitude! And exactly what language is it you think I speak hmmm? I'm from London, England...let me see...that would be English then. Lucas didn't have the prequel trilogy in his head from the beginning, he didn't write them until after the original trilogy. ANYWAY... When something is written out from the very beginning and broken up into 3 parts, the 2nd and 3rd parts are not referred to as sequels. Is TTT a sequel? Is ESB a sequel? No. Was that plain enough for you or didn't you understand my English? tril·o·gy A group of three dramatic or literary works related in subject or theme. @Skitzo - The first one is available now from http://www.thematrix.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taos Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 You know I really enjoyed the Matrix, I went and saw it four times in the theater......even though I really didn't have a complete understanding of the movie [i do now of course]. I own it on dvd and I'm very excited about the next two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
