Matrix Reloaded

on the matrix web site, they have the final theatrical trailer posted. And if you have broadband, go for the ultra version of it. around 100 megs but it is soooooo awsome.
I feel like a little kid waiting to go see santa clause, I can't wait for opening night!

Like any Keanu Reeves movie was a "must see" to begin with!

Small, I hear the Pottery Barn & Starbucks execs donated to GW's campaign. Maybe you should start a boycott of your own.

Ahem! EVERY Keanu Reeves movie is a must see! So what if he's a lousy actor, he's eye candy!

Somebody tell me...

...what's the deal with the Matrix?

I didn't like the first one and I like Reaves.

I LOVED the Matrix, but I'm into all that weird Science Fiction crap. It comes second only to Dune (the 80's version).

It is appealing to different people for different reasons. At first, it had almost a cult following, mainly us computer geeks who enjoyed the imaginative story line and special fx.
Then others became interesting when they started to look at the philosophical and religous meanings in the movie. For the most part, it seems the "techies" are the largest group which enjoys it.

And a few of the scenes are just incredible when viewing the DVD on a nice home theatre system... Two that come to mind right off the bat are the scene where the helicopter crashes into the side of the building, and when neo and trinity break into the building. The action, angles, and sounds are just incredible in that scene. I think it is interesting how they show so much destruction and killing in that scene, yet the scene isn't one big blood bath.

Some of the shows for this thursday's opening are already sold out (some theatres are actually having 10pm showings on wednesday night).
