Matrix Reloaded!

I've been following up on the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies since I heard about them over a year ago, and I just saw the teaser trailer for Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions. Oohhh!! I can't wait!! How about anyone else? The Matrix is one of my favorite movies. Do you think the next two will be as good as the first one? I just can't wait... I wanna see it now!

Yeah, the Matrix was pretty cool. Hopefully they'll do as good on the sequels. I saw the other day Men in Black II was coming out soon too. Cool. I loved the first one.

Cant wait to see what revolutionary techniques they will bring out. After that "stop motion fotografy" and that ground-breaking effects in Matrix 1 (that got copied by pretty much every movie after that).

Am with u guys .. Matrix is one of my favorite movies and concepts!

As was 2001: A Space Odyssey, the next great sci fi classic, The Matrix, are totally complete phenomena.
The sequels, I hate to say, will not have the total impact of the original. I mean, how many of us know much of 2010, the sequel to 2001?
Nonetheless, I am sure they will be worth the $8-10 to see it on opening night.

Matrix is one of my favorite movies but did it take everyone else at least 2 viewings before you fully understood the concept?

I saw it =/ I wish it had been much closer to the book, as the movie ws just American vs. Russian bickering -- or that was my impression anyhow.

Anyone read any of the bok sequels to 2001? It's kind of interesting, because the future books follow the *movie* continuity, not the continuity from the book 2001.

I pretty much understood the concept the first time I saw it, but after watching it many many times after that, I started catching several hidden things.

For those of you that have seen the preview for Reloaded ? Revolutions .. doesnt it seem like the green lines of code have become more of an oriental font or am I just on one of those fantasies that caffiene OD gives?

I noticed a lot of Japanese writing in it. But I think that may be because I am taking Japanese now and wasn't before. I'll take a look at the old Matrix trailers to see if I notice it there too.

I looked at the old trailor, and then the new one again, and I'd say there is about an equal amount of Japanese characters, both hiragana and katakana, in both trailors. Some characters are backwards too.

It was a great film but i think it would be hard to follow up well in a sequal,

What else is left for NEO to do, now he can kill agents there no match, he knows hes the one, tank snuffed it and hes finally got around to banging Trinity, what else is left for the poor bloke I ask?

Now that they have found "The One", it is time to start the real war against the AI. The first movie was only the beginning.

here is the link to the site,

http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/

If you go to the main frame and select the last screen in the second row of little screens, there is a matrix code screen saver and you can have all the characters you want to look at
