Matrix Reloaded Trailer Online
cheinonen writes "Trying to steal away the thunder from the opening of Star Wars, the trailer for The Matrix Reloaded is online now in Quicktime format. Must say I'm looking forward to this far more than I'm looking forward to Episode 3."
Too much bullet time from Max Payne may have spoiled it already...
Hasn't been slashdotted yet :)
sure didnt take long to slashdot this one:)
admit defeat, live in decline, be the victim of our own design
... for me to buy waitingformatrixreload.com... They said it would be in theaters in 2003... I sure hope they're on time! =)
...oOOo..'(_)'..oOOo...
Is there any way to save the quicktime file to my harddrive?
Know someone who is stealing cable? Report them!
A site with streaming geek-type video getting Slashdotted and still being able to hold its own, as far as bandwidth is concerned, is rather impressive. In about ten minutes, I'm sure it won't be doing as well, though. :)
:P
Anyway, trailer is pretty neat. I don't particularly like the fact that it features a song from the previous The Matrix soundtrack, but the rest is good stuff.
Comparing it to the old The Matrix trailers, I'd have to say I'm not so thrilled with The Matrix: Reloaded. I may be jumping the gun when assuming things about it, but it looks like it's less "matrix theory" and more cultish action. I hope the movie doesn't turn out like that.
At any rate, I'll probably get suckered into standing in line for an hour, opening night, and loving the entire movie, so you'd probably be better off just ignoring me.

That was painfully obvious
I hope they don't just recycle the soundtrack from the last one. Also, who was the guy with the white dreads? That small snippet with the Agent and all those birds reminded me of Harry Potter meets The Crow. Neo looks like he's takin to dancing while fighting, lots of jumps. Morpheus with that japanese Katana lookin sword made my day.
I can't wait for Matrix III: The Matrix Diagonalized. ;)
No one can tell you what the matrix is, but a TI-86 can solve for it in seconds.
So is Aaliyah in it? And what stunts could we expect now that bullet-time has been done to death?
and yes, I do understand that at the end of the last movie it crashed and now they have rebooted or whatnot, but it still could be a cooler title

Looks like we are in for yet another Hollywood Sequel. Reloaded looks to me, from the teaser anyways, to be more of the same old same old. It even seems that they decided to take out what made The Matrix good in the first place, the concept, to replace it with more of Marionette Keanu and the amazing bullet time effect.
Sorry for being so completely out of it, but are "Reloaded" and "Revolution" two separate sequels?

A trailer that gives away neither plot nor ending, but still makes you want to see the movie.
Shouldn't this be how all trailers are made?
Sigh. Instead, I'm sure it's only the first one of many. By the time we're a week away from release we'll be able to reconstruct the entire movie by splicing and re-editing the trailers.
I have to say, I've enjoyed them all, but I think they're all overhyped.
You honestly think the majority of people that browse Slashdot truely use Linux?
Err, CmdrTaco mentioned on GIS ages ago that the majority of hits come from IE.
Ironic really.
My windows codecs aren't working. I assume you used the proper Linux-only mpg format. Clever guy. Props
It's not a trailer but teaser.
That's what Windows partitions are for anyway. Is a 2 minute reboot worth 30 seconds of Keanu goodness worth it?
......yes.
slashdot won't allow you to post long "words" such as that .. you should create an html <A> link instead.
Someone made the smart decision to show Keanu but not play his voice. One can only hope the movie follows a similar path.

Am I like the only person not looking forward to MAtrix sequels and doesn't see where they can even continue from? The sequels/prequel(s)(?) are going to be crap, no storyline left.
The Matrix was a really great movie and I loved the fact that it just popped up unhyped..
I wanted to love this teaser, but I just sat there thinking "Uh well this is pretty lame". The ever-so-brief Morpheus-with-a-sword scene looks like it has promise, but the rest looks like boring car chases and silly fights. All of that slo-mo wire-work on the staircases looks stupid, IMO.
I'm still hopeful they can pull this movie off, but based on this teaser alone I'm much less excited about seeing this movie than I was before I saw it.
Don't forget. You should be able to see this teaser trailer when you see Star Wars: Attack of the Clones movie.

To be honest, dosen't do much for me. Then again it's a fine line between trailer and spoiler...

...and this lie crawls out of its mouth: 'I, the state, am the people.'
The 'going evangelion' thing means to not butch the dramatic development in favor of mindless action. It is the opposite of Star Wars - Episode I. You know, it's nice to do things like character and story development.
In the interviews at site the guys say that the sequels are something 'much bigger' than the original. Much bigger like 'episode I', I fear. I pray for this not to be the case.
Of course, they need not exagerate! If the Matrix 3 is like the last TV episode of evangelion, bad things will happen!
What a wonderful trailer. It gives little away about the movie regarding the story line and the action scenes but it does tell you a lot about the experience and it certainly gets me excited about it.
If you compare this to the Star Wars trailers for example. Of course we all know the story line, but we don't know about all the action scences and the conversations. After seeing the trailers though, several scenes are pretty much given away for free to the public which, in my eyes somewhat takes away from the experience.

They state, "The Se nate committee concludes there is no convincing evidence that smoking pot leads to using hard er drugs." Needless to say, the DEA is not happy about it and the Bush administration is pla nning to place trade restrictions on Canada for the move. So we're going to whack our friend ly neighbor to the north with a big stick for doing both the right and smart thing, it seems. Lucky for me, I'm going up there next week!

Looks like somebody messed up the matrix drip while the movie titles are being flashed near the end. The traditional drip is kanji characters, but the titles' drip is all numbers. I suppose a fanboy could look for hidden meaning in there while a less obsessive person could note that perhaps the teaser team wasn't working together very well.

I read slashdot at work. And unfourtunatly we're stuck with internet explorer there. While I use Linux at home, I'd say the majority of my loading slashdot happens sitting at work waiting for other people to finish their work so we can continue on.
I expect quite a few people are in the same situation and combined with opera misidentification and the normal IE users, that'd create a pretty inaccurate representation of what people are really using when given a choice.

Can't understand why they use quicktime for the trailer.. Mpeg or Divx would have been a lot better choices.
I just got back from seeing Episode 2, and they didn't show the Matrix trailer here. It was at the Raleigh Grand Theater.

Episode 2 was good.
Is it a complex vector space? Or do they insist on real numbers?

How about "The Matrix Too: Piracy Issues".
Don't tell me the agents went to all that effort building realtime a virtual world, but didn't have a hot backup ready.
I am a Karma Library.
And if you've got the Aliens soundtrack, you'll notice a track right at the end that doesn't appear in the film. "Resolution / Hyperspace", I think it's called. But that's OK, as it turns up at the end of Die Hard instead. Even though Michael Kamen did the rest of the music for that one.

And you had to pack it in rar?!
From all the formats, you had to choose the one that doesn't come with my RedHat distro...
GM must have struck a deal with the producers. The majority of the cars shown are GM, including the new CTS (silver one, gets blown up unfortunately... I coulda gone for one of those) and the cops are Chevrolet Impalas. I think the car flipping over onto the CTS is an Olds, not 100% sure though and I'm not sure about the overturned SVU (don't much care for SUVs...).

Sorry, this is what happens when you are a car guy.

For all those people looking for the title of a song that is used for 2 tenths of a second in a trailer... ...try here.
Once more unto the breach dear friends...
More importantly it is an epic, a trilogy of trilogy's(sic).
I think you mean a pair of trilogies.
The guy (actually there are several of them) in the white dreadlocks is one of the "Viruses" which if I remember correctly were created by the Matrix to defeat Neo and the resistance, but mutate on their own and now threaten everyone, including the Matrix itself.
Also in the movie are "The Twins" which are a pair of Neo-like super guards for some CEO in the virtual real world.
Once more unto the breach dear friends...

I think I'd rather see Episode 3, I'm very curious how Lucas is going to top himself.
I just rebooted into Windows to watch the trailer and then just at the end when it was putting up 2003 it made a long beeeeep then crashed with a Program Exception. These trailers become more inventive all the time!
... just the teaser. Don't worry though, about 3 or 4 months before the release you'll get to see the trailer that you don't want. Actually, as teasers go, this one was far more revealing than say: the Spiderman teaser which had little more than a spiderweb and a logo.
IMHO, some interesting info from netcraft.com:

Must say I'm looking forward to this far more than I'm looking forward to Episode 3.
Obviously cheinonen hasn't seen Episode II yet. Go see it just for the Matrix trailer; you'll gladly stay for the movie.
Secession is the right of all sentient beings.
The shots are:
There's some large soundstages there, built from old airplane hangars, all owned by EON Productions, the Wachowski's company. During the Matrix 2 shoot they had the logo for Burlyman, the Matrix films' working title, emblazoned on them, and signs sprang up around town that simply said "BURLY" on them, followed by an arrow.
Near the hangar soundstages, a set was built on a vacant paved area next to the coast of the island. A mock freeway, sturdy enough to drive many cars on, pointed towards downtown San Francisco but ended hanging in space at an incline. (you can see the Bay Bridge in the background of some of the aforementioned shots) When standing on the freeway set, it would appear to lead straight into downtown San Francisco. To add the appearance of "realism," there was a highway sign proclaiming, "Palo Alto 7 miles." Palo Alto's about 30 miles from San Francisco. Whatever.
Anyway, the set was really amazing to see, and since it was right next to public property (the local skate park) you could walk out and take pictures of the set, and the various prop cars (including most of the ones in the trailer) parked in the lot around it. There were always a few guys out firing off cameras when I went by. The set was taken down very quickly, shortly after filming completed and all the "Burly" signs came down.
Also interesting to note is that some of the car chases were filmed in downtown Oakland and in the tunnel between Alameda & Oakland (causing a nasty traffic snarl one Saturday morning). The tunnel is notorious for being covered in grime, and is in fact so filthy that grafitti artists will come in with squeegies and start cleaning their tags into the walls. Even after the truck comes through and washes the walls off once every quarter, the tags are always just a little cleaner than the rest of the walls.
The most prolific of these taggers is apparently known as "wetso," and on Friday night before filming he had his name writ large toward one end of the (fairly recently cleaned) tunnel. I'm very curious to see if it survives into any of the final shots in the finished film. Go Wetso.
Even Jesus hates listening to Creed.
Looks to be watchable and entertaining.
I just wish trailers could have surround ^_^
It looks pretty cool.
It doesn't look a whole lot different from the first one. I hope they just don't take the fighting sections from the first and make a full length feature from it. It _has_ to be a great sequel.

After seeing Ep2 early this morning in the theatre (and being incredibly impressed for the most part - expectations far exceeded. Lucas may live another season!), I'm looking forward to Ep3 as I did Ep1 before I heard anything about it and saw the sucky trailers, etc. :)
As has already been said, The Matrix: Reloaded looks like it might just be another actionish movie w/o the philosophy that helped make The Matrix cool. In my mind, sure, the philosophy and weird scifi made The Matrix cool, but let's face it. It'd have been a pretty weak ending without the revolutionary action at the end. THAT is what made The Matrix totally haul ass. Now that everyone has seen The Matrix almost 100 times each, and there have been dozens of 'immitation' movies, employing the same stop action photography, the effect is somewhat passe, and not all that nifty. I suspect Reloaded will be nothing more than an additional chapter with more action and little real plot development. Like Star Wars Ep1 - 3, we already know basically what's going to happen. We don't need basic plot - we need indepth plot (which, I feel, Ep2 provided fairly well, overall), otherwise it'll be dull and not all that interesting.
I got enough purely action films from the 80's and early 90's, like Terminator. Give me a good solid plot, please, and make it stimulating.
But I s'pose that's asking too much. Episode 1, for instance, got cheers throughout. Episode 2 (being substantially longer - I clocked somewhere around 2 hours 15 minutes) didn't really get much enthusiasm in the theatre I went to at all. I don't understand people.

i am tingling. one year seems like way too much time. i cannot wait. star wars tomorrow, done with exams, new matrix teaser, plus the above comment that new effects are supposed to be even more amazing that bullet time. i am still blown away every time i watch that insanity on the roof between neo and the agent, although it was recently brought to my attention (in light of the reported spiderman inconsistencies) that when the camera is zooming around neo, all the weapons, bodies, and debris are gone from the roof, but they reappear afterwards. i guess nobody is perfect, but i certainly did not notice it when i saw it the first time in the theaters. anyway, i cannot wait for this new matrix to usher in another new era of computer effects in movies. whether or not the matrix originated these effects it was the first i know of to use them throughout the film and to do them so damned well. it was just insane, and if the next two are as good as they say, i might just get in line tomorrow for tix...
...willing to push some boundaries.
It attacked Sci-Fi when Sci-Fi (with a few notable exceptions in Star Wars and Terminator) was not considered a viable genre.
It brought Hong Kong style action and anime inspired cinematography to the masses, when both were considered to be niche markets at best.
It pushed the limits of technology and special effects going so far as to invent proprietary techniques to better show off the ideas of the filmmakers (yes, Bullet time was invented for the Matrix and is a trademarked and patented technique. It was first seen in a Gap commercial as a sort of technology test to see how audiences would react, but was created entirely for and because of the Matrix).
It was willing to have a complex and highbrow storyline that was dark and brooding while still being fun and exciting.
It was also, and maybe most importantly, a test in trust from the studio to the filmmakers. They were given a lot of leeway in developing and making this movie. They were allowed to market it in the way they saw fit and rack up a huge expense bill to make sure that it was as good at they saw it in their heads. It led to other films being made under trust (decidedly rare in Hollywood), such as the filming of all three Lord of the Rings movies at once and letting Spiderman be directed by Sam Raimi of Evil Dead fame (kind of a contrast there) and played by Tobey McGuire who is more known as an arty actor than an audience drawing teen hunk.
Overall I trust these sequels because of how well The Matrix was done the first time around. I have confidence that it will be as esoteric and interesting as the first, while still kicking ass. I also appreciate them for the changes that the first brought about to the movie industry, and hope that these lead to more in the same direction. As a film major, I can only hope that there are more mass movies made to the same caliber as The Matrix, LOTR, and Spider-Man and hope to see these sequels as another catalyst for change. I also hope to be able to leave the theater with the same sense of awe and adrenaline that the first left me with.
Here's to hoping.
Sooo.. Lemme see. A movie where the main character is a terrible unwashed geek -- buuuut in the GAME he's a 57th level ninja fighter magic user. And this is supposed to be cool? Ah. I must've been confused between that and lame. For that kind of cool, I can just watch the local Everquest junkies.
(Pfft.. Maybe I'm just bitter at how bad Ep 2 was.)
...I hope he took some acting classes too.

Just got back from the first showing of Star Wars Episode II in British Columbia, Canada. I don't care what the critics say (or if this isn't posted in the right place) it rocked. There is no other way to describe it. The combination of improvments after obvious fan upset at the last film, coupled with uncertain expectations made for a highly entertaining and comic romp through space. any fans who didn't see Star Wars episode I and expect it to be similar to the originals are in for a dissapointment. Those of us who know there will never be anything quite like them will be higly entertained. I won't say much about the movie itself as I am sure everyone would be annoyed if I spoiled it most of you even had a chance to see it. All I can say is enjoy!
Jesus :/

but im gonna go see it again, just as soon as i can get tickets. this is NOT a "wait for dvd". see it in the theater - you wont be disappointed.

That's actually a pretty good idea that at least one other author worked into his stories. In Dan Simmons' Hyperion novels, all humans have neural implants allowing them to access computational and communication resources directly, and it turns out that the A.I.'s "live" in the unused storage capacity of the human minds that are networked in. It is chilling, to say the least, as the A.I.'s want to remove any autonomy from the humans, and in fact, the A.I.'s destroy Earth and do lots of other Really Bad Things before the Forces of Good show up to kick some ass.
And one of these days I'll have to finish reading the series! :)

Since this trailer was in front of the Star Wars AOTC movie I saw (in California) I'd guess that the web release merely coincides with the theatrical release of the trailer, which in turn is released to advertise with AOTC rather than steal any thunder.

Well, I saw Ep2 and this trailer was there. The theatre I was in was DLP so this trailer was as well. The big fat Green preview aproved for all audience screens was flawless - ... however, that was about the only thing I noticed - and after talking to may people, the masses dont notice scratches
also, brand new projector and re-done sound system cut out in this trailer
I got the whole theater to laugh cause when it says 2003 I said "2k3? Thats when the sound will work" -- Yea, Im proud of myself

But then again, I am biased. The W brothers have been daring and have great visual skills. Their ability to visualize the entire world and how it plays out is above the average director/producer. Plus the use of comic artists in their story boards in no doubt contributes greatly to the final product the audience sees.
as more and more of us are laid off/out of work due to off shore development efforts, the /. browser numbers will then be a more accurate representation of what people "like to use".
then again, maybe we'll eventually find something else to do. or maybe mozilla/konqueror/opera really aren't our favorite browsers? (at least mozilla is available for those windows desktops)
Morpheus talks about the meaning of life.. I thought the Matrix taught us that our lives are our own, and no one can tell us what to do with them, not even fate or ourselves?
After seeing the preview, I think this film is so retarded. a) the story line in the first film ended...How can they explain that? b) no imagination...what the heck is the Agent that was in the first film, doing back in the second.
It all comes down to fact that $$ instead of a good story and good cast.

OK, I understand that the trailers are made with a movie audience and TV commercials in mind, where you have X seconds to fill... BUT: /.er please explain to me why it seems that every 1 minute QT trailer on the net seems to have 10 seconds of title track at the front end and 15 seconds of static title crap at the back end? If you're pumping 24 megs of a 640x480 trailer over the net, wouldn't it be a commercially sound decision to chop 10 of those megs off and reduce the time it takes to d/l said trailer? Won't that mean more of them are distributed/seen? Maybe I just don't 'get it'.

My question is why do we see Neo fighting when all he has to do is jump into an agent body and explode?
William Gibson's Neuromancer series (Neuromancer, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive) were AKAIK *the* stories that kicked off what we know as "Cyberpunk" or modern dark, high-tech, low-life science fiction. I personally have reread the books dozens of times andhave dearly wished that someone would make an excellent movie rendition of them, unlike the piss poor "Johnny Mnemonic" movie with a poor storyline and, ironically, Keanu Reeves doing his best to save the story from total loss.
I think that the makers of the matrix would have made an excellent rendition of Neuromancer and still could, and I wish that there would be massive support for this.

Any trailers converted to Not Quicktime(tm)?

Matrix II Images Posted
Time magazine has posted the first images from The Matrix Reloaded, the much-anticipated sequel to The Matrix. The magazine also offered a few details about the first of two sequels and reported that a teaser trailer for Reloaded should hit the Web soon.
Among the spoilery details the magazine reported from the Sydney, Australia, set of Reloaded and the third film, The Matrix Revolutions: Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) will be able to replicate himself; Reloaded takes place in the world of the Matrix, while Revolutions is set in the real world; and viewers will visit the underground city of Zion. Larry and Andy Wachowski return to direct the two sequels. Reloaded comes out in May 2003; Revolutions in either August or November of next year.
Most people would die sooner than think; in fact, they do.
The original was 640x288.
The SVD is 480x480.
You cropped and scaled back to 640x288,
or did you use the original as source.
I am guessing the latter.
Finally! I thought I was the only one noticing this disturbing trend; namely that "science fiction" is becoming more "fiction" and less "science". Not that I don't mind a good fantasy every once in a while, but come on, science can be entertaining too.
Am I one of the few people who thoroughly enjoyed Greg Egan's "Diaspora" and other books like it because it heaps on the science with no apologies? Why can't we have more good movies with a better basis in reality?

users were getting the mpg. So now this link redirects people with 'Windows' in their UserAgent string to the mov. Feel free to change your OS or just your useragent string.
No one can be told what the matrix is.
You must download quicktime to see it.
This is not official release of this teaser. Just something I made 'cause I have no life.

If you are looking for to The Matix more than Star then why Wars then why does Star Wars have it's own News group icon? The Matrix has changed the way movies are made today. Yet it has a cheasy generic Icon. How many geeks know that there is no spoon?
Two Towers-Two Worlds.One seeks triumphs and freedom for man.The other deems man unworthy and wrecks them.
... is this the Matrix #2 or the Matrix #5?
Mark Hamill has a really wonderful career as a voice actor, actually.
DNA just wants to be free...
Aenea is a hot piece of ass. My God, that girl was a fucking hot asscake. At least, she was when she was 16. Fuck that fucking plot device that turned her 21 just so that she could legally fuck. Fuck the fucking CensorNazis, let her fuck while she's 16. Sixteen-year-olds fuck like wild horny animals. Twenty-one-year-olds are frail and loose. God, there isn't ANYTHING I wouldn't have done to fuck a 16-year-old Aenea. I'd be understaning the language of the horny, understanding the language of the sexy jailbait, hearing the music of her ass, and taking the first thrust... unf unf UNF!!!

So it will be another kick ass soundtrack when it does get released.
