Yeah, this could really be discussed in the other matrix thread... Don't worry, I'm not going to close this one., just saying for future reference.

I don't know, I'll be disappointed in a way if the philosophical themes of the first one aren't explored in more detail, but on the other hand, there's nothing wrong with stylish out and out special fx fests once in a while. Not everything you watch has to be life changing cinema to be good.
I just saw "Taxi" (french film), silly, unbelievable, slightly surreal and completely over the top. However, it was very stylishly executed and great entertainment, despite the fact I'm not going to ponder over the finer points of it for months to come. :)

I just watched a trailer of Matrix 2 and saw the big fight scene with Neo fight 99 clones,Its soo pathetic IMO.
Like Ceri says its lost its philosophical themes that made the Matrix what it is so well favoured for.

In Matrix 1 ... explain the poxy Oracle bitch to me. Was she some extra-sensory bitch in a pod who´s matrix-self was isolated from computer control and she just grabbed "gifted" kids when she could to train em to fight back? Is this right? Aslo, I didn´t really get the need for our heroes to be near a phone to escape.... i mean were´nt the phones just numbers in the matrix?

speaking of movies (esp. the matrix, since manson supports the trilogy with soundtrack songs and whatever else), anybody see the dvd video that came with manson's new album? that was some odd shit. i watched it without the sound on. i was like "what the fuck." next time i will turn the sound on. very different though. but very manson-esque.

nod, fucking ace movie... real good!! They explore the philosophy more, definitely... and they also explain about the oracle... this is EXACTLY my type of movie... I love sci-fi... I love action, and this has the best of that... and I really do think the story is great... ok, maybe the acting ain't the best, or even the dialogue, but I do think the story and all is great... just my opinion I suppose...

Well, they spent $25 million on the car chase, so it must be a good car chase.

its good. probably worth seeing ...
cheesy as hell - though that is to be expected. some nice visual effex, and nice thoughts to ponder over ... shame its covered in a sugary coat of hollywood - but you get that. just remember to brush your teeth afterwards!
there is hope for the third in that its title is revolutionS, not just the one :) but who knows ..

I've only just seen the first one.
it's okay.
the philosophy is bullshit though - lots of time is spent on exposition of the 2 realities thing without actually taking ANY interesting points about the philosophy.
also, I thought the premisse was weak - why is it bad to live in the matrix exactly? because it is supposedly not real? then how would you ever know the supposed real world is also not another matrix? in short: whats the point.

i haven't seen it yet.
everybody at my school's gone ape about it.
i'm supposed to see it tonight w/ some of my buddies but nobody's called yet. i don't really feel like goin' out tonight anyhow. i gotta complete an online course to finish up my credits for my graduation (high school) this week anyway, and it's supposed to be done by tomorrow.
good thing is that it's easier than pie.

about the oracle: see part 2 for the answer to that question
and for all of you who are saying part 2 has no philisophical themes... you obviously arnt paying attention.
and remeber, this is functioning of half of a larger story... part 3 will have many revelations and answers... but I already got alot out of the second one... you just gotta think about the stuff more... and some of its not obvious either...

I have paid to see it three times already. So, I'll say yes, it's worth at least one view. If you're having a difficult time deciding whether or not to part with such a small sum of money, then maybe you shouldn't see it. I wouldn't want you go to without necessities.
