Everything That Has A Beginning Has An End: Matrix Spoiler Thread.

[Q Classic]

we are borg. resistance is futile.

The first Matrix was really cool, but it felt like they were emulating the Star Wars trilogy - great start, lots of discourse and leave a huge cliffhanger in the middle, then bring on the ewoks.

Funny thing about being the emperor. It's the prerogative of the fool to point out that the emperor has no clothes, but the emperor is still the emperor.

The main reason I saw the movie now instead of later was so I could read the spoiler threads everywhere and I'm not dissapointed This has been a perfect evening for me, watch the movie and listen to people who hated it.

The only thing I thought the movie was lacking was one more special effect shot of the infinite number of Agent Smiths through Neo's eyes in bright burning orange against the green matrix background. Aside from that, the movie was perfectly made for the fan who thinks movie critics are never right.

[Ben Kenobi]

Why bother with all the muck and crap of Zion and being "free" when you can live out a normal life inside the Matrix never knowing that you're not free?

That goes all the way back to the first film, to eating steak. At what price freedom? To actually effect change?

[Gatekeeper]

Stupid humans. If they're not busy pissing off their ape masters, they're angering their machine masters. Tsk, tsk.

# By their fruits ye shall know them

I had attended a showing of The Matrix in May of 1999 with a lady friend, because we are both big Morgan Freeman fans. An hour into the film, as I observed what dreck we were wading in, I walked up and stood before the screen and tried to explain to the audience that this vomitus was below their dignity.

I was greeted by some of the most vulgar insults imaginable, until some began throwing objects and one man even knocked my pipe from my hand. Do you wish to be associated with a group of such character?

# By their fruits ye shall know the staff, too

After the above incident, I was the one asked to leave.

# The Matrix: Reconsidered further still

Bullets travel at over 900 feet per second. I don't care how fast Agent Smith and his friends pulled their triggers in that hallway, their bullets would not travel in a tight pack like that. It takes a tenth of a second for an automatic to recycle itself, meaning that by the time the second round left the barrel, the first bullet would be 90 feet away.

You should have heard my gales of laughter upon seeing this scene during my second viewing of the film. I fully expected the audience around me join in the derision, and when they did not I walked up and down each row, leaning over each seat and howling my gales of mockery right in their faces.

Once more, the staff removed me from the theater, rather than doing the proper thing and removing the film from the theater. Ridiculous.

Just bloody go and see them.

I couldn't make up my mind so I went to see it again. I think people are being too harsh on the film now. I went to a late viewing and two arseholes were in there. They kept talking until someone asked them to 'shut the f**k up'. They tried to start a fight but got lynched and was pinned to the seat by numerous people who wanted to see the film I think they were eventually evicted, or gagged

My dad says I'm not a big enough sucker to enjoy movies. I don't know if that's an insult or a statement of fact. I try to be gullible, but then my brain gets all like that kid who reminds the teacher that they forgot to give out the homework assignment.

I like this quote:

I'm dreaming of a white... cast?

Two actors were abruptly cut from the third film's cast before production ended, both female minorities. Coincidence?

Aaliyah and Gloria Foster were unceremonially dropped after shooting some scenes for Revolutions. What's wrong, guys? They didn't test well with the predominantly white Matrix audiences?

Neither actress could be reached for comment.


Uhhh, sir? there was this plane crash a few months ago.....

[Q Classic]

i think that's the point.

at least, i'm hoping he doesn't mean half of the stuff on the page, 'cause otherwise he's petty and mean...

[Lord Merciless]

Bunch of Zionist terrorists, Morpheus and etc.

[Sava]

The reason Zion existed is because of choice. Neo summed it up at the end of Revolutions when Smith asked him, "Why? Why do you continue to fight?"... Neo responded, "Because I choose to."

All of humanity couldn't survive in the Matrix. Remember in Reloaded, the Architect said it worked when nearly 90% of the humans accepted the Matrix programming, while a growing minority, if not kept in check, represented a growing threat.

The end of Revolutions was peace between the machines and man. Those who choose to be free will be allowed to live in the real world.

[Provost Harrison]

This this is it, you have to understand the Architect speech to understand what is going on in Revolutions...but it is quite hard to follow so reading the transcript is quite useful.

But I would say I am warming to the film more. I suppose the anticipation between Reloaded and Revolutions has been quite high and you are never going to know what to expect. Still it is quite a logical conclusion...

I saw a movie called Equilibrium the other day on DVD. It is a sci-fi film that was so good it is a wonder I had never heard of it before. A lot better than Matrix II or Matrix III, IMO. Anyone besides me see it?
