Matrix Revolutions Trailer Released

aerojad writes "The new Matrix Revolutions trailer is now available for download (direct link) on the official site. If you have plugin/bandwidth issues, there are also BitTorrent links available. For those wondering, there is more to it than you saw at the end of Reloaded." In related news, an anonymous reader points to the BBC News report that: "The makers of the Matrix films are considering only promoting the third film, Matrix Revolutions, for next year's Oscars. Warners, which produced the films, had considered pushing for both of them to be nominated as a single entry because they were shot on the same 240-day shoot, but the academy refused."

Am I the only one who absolutely refuses to watch these trailers? I mistakenly saw the trailer for Reloaded, and the whole Burly Brawl was completely spoiled when they showed a cloud of Agent Smiths getting tossed off in a "mushroom cloud." If you hadn't seen that, you'd really be worried when the Smiths completely enveloped Neo, because you wouldn't know how he was going to get out of it. But the preview spoiled it, and so that fight (possibly the best in the movie) was entirely spoiled for me because I knew the outcome - if hundreds of Agent Smiths couldn't even hold Neo down, how could he possibly lose?!

I hate how movie companies are putting more and more give-aways in their trailers just to get more people to come see it. It speaks volumes about how they only care about the bottom line, and how little they care about the integrity of the movie as art. I've heard from my friends about American Wedding (which I didn't want to see) - it was a waste of money because they already saw all the best parts on the ads!

And that is why I refuse to watch Revolutions trailers. As the movie's release date draws nearly it's going to get harder for me, as I'll have to turn away from the TV and cover my ears whenever the ads come up. But it'll be worth it, because I absolutely hate spoilers.
