In-Depth Look At Matrix Previews
QuietKarma writes "Consider this the first of next year's ads for Matrixx Reloaded and Matrixx Revolutions releases. Here's some semi-official poop from MSNBC with some spoilers. Or you can do what I did and read about halfway through without learning how Reloaded will end. Either that or wait until Harry at Ain't It Cool News comes out with his list of spoilers."
I just hope that they put all of the Matrix Movies and all of the LOTR movies in the IMAX theater after it's all said and done so that the die-hards can see the films the way they were meant to be seen.
Uh... you know IMAX uses a different aspect ratio from other cinematic presentations, right? IMAX is a 15-perf 70mm format with a 1.33:1 aspect ratio, same as an old-fashioned TV. All the movies you mentioned were meant to be shown in 2.35:1. To reformat those movies for IMAX will mean having to remove about 40% of the picture. They had to do this with Apollo 13, and later with Attack of the Clones.
These movies were not meant to be seen in IMAX. They were meant to be seen in a regular theater with a screen 2.35 times as wide as it is tall.

This has NOTHING to do with hollywood trying to squeeze more money. The Wachowski brothers originally conceived the matrix as a trilogy! If you had a read the article you would see where it was even stipulated before the first movie was made. There were manuscripts for 2 and 3 and talk of making them before the Matrix even went big. This is not a secret. Some people just run out of things to say I guess..
The food source was liquified humans, IIRC.
Trolls lurk everywhere. Mod them down.
