    Is at Upcoming Movies.

    Here you find out that
    -They're also shooting special footage for a video game.
    -There's a trailer coming out soon.
    -Jet Li was going to be in both sequels but he backed out because they offered $3 mil and he wanted $13.

    Anyway, thought you guys should know.

      actual martial arts master
      I'll point out that Jet Li is trained in modern Wu Shu, which actually has very little value as a 'combat' art, which he's actually the first to admit, when people bother asking about it. Nowadays, it's more of an acrobatic/gymnastic style. Looks bloody incredible, though.

    Dude,

    the Matrix was a huge hit with everyone, not just geeks. It wasn't about geekiness, it was about good vs evil (people vs. computers in this case). Please stop thinking that only geeks are/will be into the Matrix(s). Almost everyone I know (non-geeks primarily) are anticipating these movies coming out. but, what the hell, it's only karma.

  3. Dark City by Harbinjer · · Score: 5, Informative

    While I found the matrix "cool" it wasn't the greatest movie ever. In fact I like Dark City much better. It has a somewhat similar plot(humans inside a huge experiment) but no kung fu, and no keanu reeves. While the acting isn't superb, it is respectable. The story is also more interesting, and it can talk about philosophy without being sophomoric or preachy, I think.

    If it had come out after the Matrix, I would've called it a rip-off( at least the beginnings of the idea). I really liked the fact that Dark City has a more consistent story line, and a better idea of what the ultimate technology really is.

    The only thing that I don't like is that its a very dark movie; you don't want to watch this with your grandma or your little brother. THe dark feel, though does go along very well with the story.

    So for all of you that don't like the matrix check this out. For those that did, remember, this came out first, its not a rip-off.
