The Matrix: Revolutions Theatrical Trailer
Escape Tangent writes "The full theatrical trailer for The Matrix: Revolutions was posted just moments ago at thematrix.com. Choose your poison, then oogle at the eyecandy. Here are links to the high, medium, and low resolutions. Sorry folks, Quicktime 6 only." This trailer is much longer than the earlier TV spots, but they're still available.
Basically, they say Neo is trapped in a world between the real world and the Matrix. And the whole damn skidoo comes down to him and Agent Smith.

Whoa.
"Why Subscribe?" Good question...
Why quicktime 6 only? Why Why Why?
Shit I am even running Windows NT4 (work's SOE) and I still can't run it (and yes it is after hours)

In the final few frames before the closing titles, a hovership, possibly the Nebuchadnezzar, is shown flying (or crashing) against a clear blue sky with a visible moon. Remember, the skies were burned during the war. Will the skies be cleared in the third movie?? Or is it just incomplete sfx?

Talk about letdowns, the was the most overhyped movie I ever saw - a shame, I really wanted it to be more than it turned out to be. Ah well - third time's a charm.
Eat recycled food - it's good for the environment, and OK for you.
OK now, be a good Slashdotter and download the high quality version, then put it up on the eDonkey network for sharing.

That way I'll be able to download it later today with a minimal of fuss

mplayer plays this just fine! make sure you have faad faac.sf.netand the cvs of libavcodec (ffmpeg.org seems to be down) and it plays! no need for binary codecs either!

Saskboy's blog is good. 9 out of 10 dentists agree.
It works fine in mplayer. You get get it for windows too if you so desire.
Beefy trailer, I am writing my thoughts as I download. I went for the big one of course and it is taking forever to download even with my DSL going full throttle.

OMFG. That was sweet! I hate to be a person that swallows hype.
But, if the brothers W. can deliver on even half of the promised special effects it is looking like an E-ticket movie.
Also only one shot (maybe two, real quick) from the "love-fest" Jar-Jar angle in the entire clip.
Mostly looks like they are spending the money on special effects and music.
Works for me!
Of course I am a fan who was slightly disapointed by the second movie and am hoping for good things from the Finale.
At least they are having the grace to end it here. Unlike certain other producers I happen to be aware of.
Mewhahahaha (-- supposed to be evil laugh), More bandwidth for me, that's why :D
No seriously, it seems like WB and Apple seem to be buddy-buddy. Apple mirrors lots of WB Trailers, WB Sends their Musical Artists to the Apple iTunes store . . who knows.

Is it me or does it look like the movie will end with a typical Hollywood ending? Kind of sad really since the movie is so untypical Hollywood in every way -- this movie actually made me think for a change!
What's so bad about being lazy? What if there was a war and nobody showed up?
Mirror is here. This is medium res one, let me know if you want high res.
The trailer is just a fat kid dancing around with a broom stick. For assfucker's sake, don't install quicktime.
QuickTime has that annoying "Why Go Pro?" dialog and can hijack some of your file associations if you don't read the setup questions, but that's about all.

I "installed" it, but there is no client. How do I find a certain file? The offical site is worthless when it comes to this, he assumed I was born with this info encoded in my DNA. For the love of God, has anyone creaed a useful FAQ that details how this thing works?
...Neo goes up against Unicron!
Yeah, fanboys will dig that.
Let's say I want to locate a certain file (not the Matrix one, I'm crashing this thread). How do I do it? There is no client for me to search for it? What gives?

Not to imply that slashdot doesn't have the media's most stringent fact verification.. but moments ago is the wrong phrase since CG Channel has a link to these trailers since tuesday (though it was specifically for the TV trailers). http://www.cgchannel.com/news/shownews.jsp?newsID= 1921
that Matrix reloaded was more about looking slick and wearing sunglasses than story? When I first saw matrix 1, they didn't need any of that to wow me. It was cool enough seeing some "hacking stuff" going on! Now it's all about fighting (which is abissmal compared to some Jet Li classics) and looking chic. I think Revolutions will probably do the same thing for the teen masses with short attention span, but it'll be bearable if they got some neat stuff in it that M1 had.
Put neo back in a suit and tie or sumthin. He starts acting like Trinity from m1 and m2. Stiff faced. I guess the matrix does that to ya
It meant that when I saw the movie, too much of it was already known to me, so that some scenes (esp. the car chase scene) didn't have a gee-whizz element to it. That said, the playground brawl scene with lots of Agent Smith's was still a shock.
I'll pass and hope to be surprised/pleased at the movie theatre, rather than at home watching "the making of matrix 3" style programmes.
I am so disappointed by the trailer. Sure, from the whiz-bang point of view, it's awesome. The action surely is there, but it cheapens what the first Matrix set out to do. That scene with the robo-dealies with people in them? C'mon, that's so cliche. I just hope the actual movie is less sh*tt* than this trailer makes it out to be. :(

Then again, this is Slashdot, where no one bothers to fucking read, much less understand a query.
I'm not interested in that stupid trailer. I want to find a certain file, an ISO of a game to be exact. How the hell would I go about doing this? When I "installed" Bit Torrent, there was no client shortcut for me to launch to use in locating this ISO. How do I do it then? Cast a spell to Linus? Can anyone answer this question clearly. The FAQ is useless.

XviD codec, looks about as good as the HQ mov
That should make all the people saying 'only quicktime' happy.
Maybe Ep. I had more action figures in the toy stores, but it was no where near as lame as Reloaded. I mean come on now; any of the redeeming qualities of Matrix were completely lacking here. Worse yet, Reloaded tries to cover up for the fact that it is a lame action flick by trying to insert some random ten minute banters about causality and free will. I don't think Star Wars ever pretends to be more than it is (maybe we really WANT it to be), but ten to twenty minutes of material excerpted from the Philosophy 100 Cliff Notes does not a thoughtful movie make.
:)
At least Phantom Menace had some good visual/aural moments, and furthermore, it completely lacked 1) Keanu Reeves' ass and 2) Carrie-Ann Moss' ass, which are two things that I wish I had gone my entire life without ever seeing.
I'll take Natalie Portman any day, even if she is in gauche makeup and baroque costumes half the time
Quicktime isn't a codec, it's an API which encompasses a number of codecs. It can't be 'released for DirectX' because it's a coding framework, not a video file format.
Because Quicktime is an API, not a file format, it is easy to write a movie player. There are plenty of people who dislike Apple's player and have written their own - a Google search on "alternative quitime player windows" reveals a few.

Ian
I'm so bored of the matrix now. I mean it was coll in like 1999 or whatever year a long ass time ago the first one came out. It's just boring now. Super slowmo kungfu and light weight philosophy blows ass.
From what i saw of the trailer i might assume:
.. and makes neo more grandious). It's know confirmed that it can really destroy sentinels with it's own thought.
.. forget about dual layer matrices and stuff, why complicate the simple, it's just and action flick, i will certainly enjoy it, and after watching it i'll get on with my life as usual, and wait for another original SciFi story (or kinda original... )
1 - Both humans and machines realize that they cannot be exclusive, they must coexist. (at least some part of the machines)
2 - That giant pinhead in the beguining is the arquitect(?) in it's machine form.
3 - Smith becomes a virus (already seen in Reloaded), with unger for power, it's machine/AI liders are unable to control it anymore. They need neo's help, and he will give it. Smith also instanciates himself as a human, into banes body. It tries to kill neo in the real world. I assume he fails.
4 - Neo is able to tune it's powers in both worlds , but for that it needs to cover up it's eyes to concentrate (i know that this might sound a little stupid, but it's just a movie
5 - I can assume that those sentinels are controlled by Smith (or by a renegade machine faccion). Otherwise it would seem stupid that the machines asked neo's help to stop smith and then tried to destroy mankind.
6 - From the end of the trailer we see that the world is changing again, we can see some sky uncovered, and a moon?
7 - The end of the movie probably will end with smith's destruction and human and machines coexisting happily forever. As the world changes machines will have solar power again, and start gradually releasing the humans inside the pods.
That's simple as that
I fuse with Mercer every single day...
Zion is a program, just like the Matrix. How is Neo able to figure out that
he is able to stop the sentinels in Zion near the end of the film? The
spoon given to him earlier. It had obviously been bent loads, but how
outside the Matrix? This gave Neo the inspiration and the understanding
that Zion is still a matrix.
The One explained:
"The One" is a program, but has to be "attached" to someone in the Matrix.
So Mr. Anderson got it in the 6th version of the Matrix. Then "The One"
program's purpose is to allow Zion to be destroyed then to rebuild it. The
reason for this is because of anomalies - the 1% of humans that don't
accept the Matrix. These are all brought out of the Matrix program and into
the Zion program by the "Morpheus" program and other similar "ship captain"
programs. Then once all the anomalies are out of the Matrix (and in Zion),
that is the time for Zion to be destroyed, thus killing all the anomalies
off. The Matrix is then upgraded, thus creating the next version of the
Matrix, but Zion must be rebuilt so that the next lot of anomalies can be
brought out again so that they can be destroyed. This is the feedback-loop,
and is the reason to retain a handful of people so that Zion can be rebuilt.
So this is why Neo said the prophecy was a lie - the One's purpose was not
to end the war as the prophecy stated.
Unfortunately, "The One" program must be re-used each time, or copied, so it
can be "attached" to a new anomaly inside the Matrix. So what happens to
the old "The One" program? It faces deletion, and as the Oracle explained,
it goes into exile instead, just like the French bloke (the Merovingian)
did. He was the first One (probably from the second version of the Matrix),
and once he fulfilled his duty, he became an exile program and "abdicated"
his "Oneness" by choosing Persephone and power. This is evident in the bogs
when Persephone asks Neo to kiss her. She says she wants him to kiss her so
she can feel what it is like again to be kissed by something close to
human, just like the Merovingian used to be. Then she says to Trinity that
she envies her, but that these things are not meant to last. So the
Merovingian used to be just like Neo - a One - thus proving further the
feedback-loop explained earlier.
The correct door in the Architect's room
Now there are two possibilities here:
1. All the previous One's chose the right door allowing a "temporary
dissemination" of their code into the Matrix (i.e., the code they "carry"
thus indicating Neo is indeed human), then he must select (unplug) 23
people from the Matrix to rebuild Zion. This takes away the possibility
that stories from previous rebuilds of Zion will be carried through. But
Morpheus indicated in the first Matrix that this is the case anyway. He
said, "there was a man born inside, able to change things, it was he who
freed the first of us," - basically the One previous to Neo. And this
proves that the previous One chose the right door also. Neo's purpose is
also to choose the right door, but he does not because he faces deletion
afterwards and has the choice of going into exile - programs choosing to go
into exile is the one thing that can't be accounted for in program
parameters. Thus, he chooses the left door instead this time. How was Neo
able to choose the other door? Because of his extreme willpower? - Even the
Architect indicated that he'd noticed this - "Interesting. That was quicker
than the others." Or more likely, because the Oracle upgraded his coding
with the candy on the park bench. The candy/cookie was a method to change
the One's program. She said he has made a believer out of her - this is
quite human-like and perhaps the previous One's didn't accept the upgrade
candy, now she has hope... hope that Neo will finally choose the other
door.
2. All the previous One's chose the left door, saving Trinity and letting
Zion fall. So this time is
Comment: Yes I realise the username 'fuckfuck101' makes me sound intelligent, no you cannot buy it from me.
There is one truth in the universe. That is, a consistent thread throughout the real world and in the matrix. That is
Neo is the one in a sense larger than just the matrix, but throughout the entire universe. That his powers were discovered within the matrix doesn't mean they are confined to the matrix. This truth is inevitable to all in the universe, even computers and computer programs.
Note the converse is not true. Otherwise I would a hot girl, rather than some ugly guy.
It's nowhere near as bad as LOL.
Next person who says LOLOLOLOL to me is getting their fucking head chopped off.
Seen at 39 and 45 seconds into the trailer - Neo in an austere white subway station with MOBIL AVE on the tiled wall. Looks like he meets a child dressed in yellow who then leaves with another party (when Neo is punched).
Simple anagram - LIMBO AVE?
There's a later subway station shot (subway train labelled "LOOP" hurtling towards the screen) at 1m42s but that doesn't look to be the same location.
That was an enlightening and entertaining read. Thank you!

Uh... did you read the whole thing? He/she clearly talks about where Agent Smith comes from and the previous ones.
They tried the same shit 20 years ago with Back to the Future and what happened to that
It became a classic and people remember it 20 years later.

Hi Yo mirror, away! rev_theatre_0x3839_640_dl.mov
xfce is slashdotted to hell and back, but an akamaized movie trailer has THREE bittorrent streams? Goddamn.
On a sorenson 3 encoded movie. Weird.
Now this is news for nerds! This really matters.
Sorry, but the Quicktime player is shit: the user interface is lousy and inefficient, the code is (or was in earlier versions) buggy, and it can't even play fullscreen. I absolutely hate it, and wish people would stop using the damn thing.
It plays just fine with the "Quicktime Alternative" codec for windows. Google for it.
PS There's also a "Real Alternative" codec, lets you get rid of Realplayer too.
Well done. Apart from the fact it has been used as a 'clean' exclamation in the UK for over 100 years or so.
kinda like saying that "starship troopers is an absolute classic because people still say 'get out of here, now'"
duh
The bible is _just_ a book.
Anyone else notice that they changed the way Agent Smith says "Mister Anderson, we miss you"? Stuff that that annoys the crap out of me. Like when they re-dubed all of Padme's lines after the trailors for the first Star Wars.
What's up with all the guns?
I thought the EMP was 'our only weapon against the machines'.
MPlayer isn't too tough to install, and it plays QT6 files very nicely (including the trailer). The documentation is unfortunately very intimidating, so it makes it look like more of a hassle than it really is. Here are some tips for some of you that have difficulties with running MPlayer. These may help you get better output as well.
c s/
/usr/win32
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gui
.mplayer/config file and you won't have to enter the ao or vo stuff. For example...
A) Download these codec packs from the MPlayer codec site at
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/code
"Latest Win32 codecpack"
"QuickTime6 DLLs"
"RealPlayer9 codecs (including RV40)"
B) Put Windows codecs in
C) Build and install the player (after downloading the source, of course).
make
make install (as root)
D) Run with one of the following:
mplayer -vo xv -ao sdl filename
mplayer -vo xv -ao oss filename
mplayer -vo xv -ao alsa9 filename
Or as a last ditch effort...
mplayer -vo x11 -ao esd
mplayer -vo x11 -ao artsd
XV output is the best way to play back video. It's fast and it's pretty, but your card has to support it. Most chips that work under XF86 (outside of generic framebuffer mode) will work with this. X11 mode is a much slower fallback. There's an OpenGL option as well, which may work for some users.
Optionally, put the mplayer options in your
vo=xv
ao=sdl
You can enable the GUI with:
gui=yes
I prefer not using it though, as CPU load is increased quite a bit in many cases when using the GUI.
There are lots of extra options for stuff like 5.1 sound and other things, but these are the basics to get it working well.
D) Take the moon for ransom by means of Linux/MPlayer powered androids.
That's /usr/lib/win32 for the codecs.
GStreamer is supposed to play Quicktime but I downloaded it a fooled around for a couple hours and no luck. Has anyone made it work? (I got mplayer working)
My theory is that the matrix is a life support system for the humans. The war between the machines and the humans ended long ago and the earth was scorched. It was realized that without the sun, humans would have source of food, the world would become cold so the matrix was designed to keep humans alive until the world was habitable.
A system as complex as the Matrix would require maintenance and programmers so a system is set up to select new leaders and programmers. Did anyone else find it odd that the only people who leave the matrix are computer geeks? Are they so special?
I think the reason that Neo had to choose between the human race and Trinity is to show his dedication to the human race. If he could not put aside his feelings for Trinity, how could he be trusted to run the Matrix for the good of humanity.
I also think that some of the real programmers/maintainers have been seen in the matrix (the Architect, the Oracle, the councillor who took Neo to the basement).
My last guess is that the real world is already habitable. If this is the 6th matrix then probably 600 years have gone by...
Man.....I was getting 2.5 MBps. Props!
Or as a last ditch effort...
... which has its uses, for example debugging over a network, when you want to know something is happening at the other end without hogging bandwidth.
No one has mentioned that apparently, in the "real" world, Neo gets his eyes cut up! If you watch, the scene where Neo and Trinity are flying a hovercraft into the sea of sentinals [and he blows them up], the bandana isn't across his eyes for concentration: its there because his whole eye region is bloody (blood/cuts extend in every direction from beneath the bandana). My theory, the Smith that got into the human body manages to blind him before they kill the Smith.
"Stumble before you crawl"
Sorry...
This is common to almost EVERY (full conceived) trilogy...
The Matrix mirroring Star Wars better than Back to the Future. First movie is stand alone, mostly open ending. Second Movie, Darth is lukes father, Han frozen in carbonite and taken away by boba fett, it ends on such a down note. Third Movie, our hero who has had more power than most throughout the other two movies (not enough at this point to take out Vader though) becomes a true master.
Here's the part that scares me. By following that. Trinity ends up being the only other person to manipulate the Matrix (force attuned) and Agent Smith and Neo have a huge battle in front of the architect, only to have the architect finally make his presence known and how much power it really has by zapping neo with lightning. Agent Smith rises up and trashes the architect to finally set himself free.
look out of the window. there's a real world out there!
Yes, but 'Empire Strikes Back' was a good movie with a decent story, and was quite self-contained. 'Matrix 2' had crap for a story, and hour-long boring effects sequences.
Now, sure, if Lucas had had his way I'm sure he'd have turned 'Empire Strikes Back' into a story-free boring effects show like 'Phantom Menace', but at the time he didn't have that much control.
The first movie was fantastic, the second one was poor, and the third looks like it's going to at least be as bad as #2.
The "kung fu" scenes are getting really old, and the biblical story that is coming out is too much to take. I'm going to take a pass when revolutions comes out. I'd encourage others to do the same. These big budget marketing campaigns won't make me go spend $10 on something I know isn't worth watching.
People remember the first one - how many remember the second and third? I sure don't.
I am Neo from the Nebuchadnezzar. Go and tell the Merovingian that if he will give us food from his restaurant, he can join us in our quest for the keymaker.
I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen. Err, he's already got one, you see?

I do. They sucked.
Why have I not seen a video/dvd release of Reloaded? One would think the Reloaded dvd would serve as part of the promotion for Revolutions... unless it sucked *that* much :)
"The logic behind Matrix I sucked gaint donkey balls and was probably invented by psychos on a 4 week crack diet."
sometimes the use of roman numerals is not recommeded
When the final Reloaded trailer came out, there was an Ultra trailer for us UberGeeks that wanted a crazy hi-res version. An 8-digit hex code 0x987654321 was used (0x is not used as part of the code). 0x3839 seems to be the first four digits of the hexadecimal code that will be used to download the uber ULTRA-sized version of the Revolutions trailer. Based on the news post: "tick tick tick" related to the download link (which has the 0x3839 in the URL), I've tried time-based digits for the last 4 hexadecimal digits. Examples: 38391200 (Reloadeds time on power plant clock ) 38391159 (ditto, 1 minute earlier :))
38391105 (Rev's theatrical US opening date)
38393839 (for the hell of it.)

1.) monica bellucci for 5 minutes is way hotter than a whole movie of natalie portman AND she's a better actress, even though her english is nothing special
2.) IMHO, Reloaded was actually a good action flick according to the Die Hard canon. A frame story, a little suspension of disbelief, and lots of cool explosions and gunfights and kung fu.
3.) people in the matrix have nice clothes
4.) the matrix has not been built up to a total letdown for 20+ years. only 4.
i personally liked reloaded, but the animatrix was 4x better anyway
Well then, people are wrong. QuickTime has never, ever been codec-specific.
Also, Sorenson are a company, and they've made more than one codec. There is no single "Sorenson codec".
AVI is yet another container. 'AVI' does not mean 'DivX', just as '.mov' does not mean 'Sorenson Video', no matter what these people you refer to may think.
This is where you don't know what you're talking about.

When was the last Hollywood movie you saw that lectured you on causality and was an entire metaphor for life?
Neo didn't say there was a third choice. He picked the door on the left--he went to save the girl, saying "screw it" to the rest of humanity because of his emotions. Did you honestly not extrapolate the meaning of that?
"Sufferin' succotash."
To be fair, Reloaded was intended, as Silver put it, to be a "pop wild ride." The movie is an entire set up for the real sequel we've been waiting for, the war between man and machine, Matrix Revolutions.
The first movie was about birth, the second about life, and the third is about death (or resurrection, if you ask Keanu Reeves).
"Sufferin' succotash."
I personally want the typical Hollywood ending. I think the movies so far have been great, and I'm sick of people bashing them. If you want to bash some movies, bash some movies that deserve it (like the Rundown - given 3 stars lately)...If you feel so apauled by the movie that you have to write how negatively you feel about it, then stop writing posts, don't watch anything matrix related, and for God's sake...take a laxitive. As for that punch...looks like Neo gets his ars handed to him...and if you look closely towards the end..you'll see two agen smiths and neo in the green code fallout, standing still..what looks like hundreds of small sentinals flying in code form...I think this will be pivatal towards the end of the movie..some sort of control center. Oh well, that's my .02 for now....

I suppose the trailer is cool and all but I would prefer if the developers would release the source code for us to make some really good mods (e.g. Rocket Crowbar)
Lets stop pretending shall we, you are going to see it becuase you loved both of them, now shut up.

No.

Interesting, but for me personally kinda boring. I agree with the previous comment of "it's just a movie." And by the way, Lucifer is a cherubim, NOT a seraphim, so I question the rest of your exposition (wondering, by the way, where you got the names of Raziel and Malaciah as angels). In closing - get a life.

Is it just me, or isn't Zion's defenses awefully weak? Sure, people in mech suits with guns on their hips like cowboy's looks pretty cool but shouldn't they have something more advanced? Some automated or remotely controled defenses? We'll have to see the whole sequence to know for sure but I hope there's more to it.

The other way to install it is to download a simple RPM and click to install. If you don't think that is intuitive, then you are a dipshit. Obviously, you know nothing about Linux in the first place, which is why you troll like an ignorant twit.
What a lame site, buggy as hell!

I realize that I'm responding to a troll. But damn it, I loved Reloaded. More than the first, in fact.
Reloaded is a parallel to our own lives; it ask question about the role that free will and choice play when there is an omnipotent God (or Architect) that has designed everything? It was great to finally see an action movie that addresses many of these fundamental issues.
BBWWAAAAAHAHAHA Please mod parent up!
well, you could install Gentoo Linux (don't need to compile a first installation) and emerge mplayer ... all the codecs I know of is in there. Anyway it is not intuitive to download many different codecs for mediaplayer in windoze either (or download QT-player, but who wants a whole bunch of apps for the different codecs).
(yes this can be compared with sex)
What a dumbass.

Does anybody have a mirror of these?
audio /video interlacers take video encoded with one codec, audio encoded with another, and mesh them together. MOV, AVI, ASF, RAM, OGG, etc They all incorporate codecs, but they, themselves, are not codecs.
MS and Real have done a fantastic job of confusing end users about codecs. WMP plays Real files, Real plays WMP files, and both players try to take over your computer's media during installation. Moreover, now developers seem to cater to this bullshit with installers that install one codec for multiple media players (araahhhh).
Apple tends to stay out of this loop. Apple doesn't try to support WMP or Real content. They support MOVs/ AVIs and standards such as MPG. It's simple and it works. I wish WMP and Real would keep to their damn selves as well.
But, hey, I HIGHLY advise downloading MPlayer or VLC. Both of these players play just about anything and either one is well worth the download.
"Things are more moderner than before- bigger, and yet smaller- it's computers-- San Dimas High School football RULES!"
"emerge mplayer" baby, that's all that needs to be said.
And I manage to continue having a life. Maybe the poster has one too.
Only speculating Cap'n. The naming in the previous films leads me to believe that this will likely hold some meaning. Lots of films like this are littered with references and nods to their various influences and themes.
Personally, from the little I've seen so far, the subway could be a representation of a Limbo concept and the child in yellow, based on Etrigan.
But, of course, how much you read into it is entirely up to you.
The first one degenerated after the first 15 minutes, the second one was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen, and while I have to say I'll check the third out on DVD, there's no way they're getting any more of my money for trite (and yes, it is trite, recycled crap, for all of those of you who think it's somehow novel) platitudes and scenes that are so totally transparent in their motives that they numb the mind...
In order to understand 2001: A Space Odyssey, you should watch the film and read the book.
In order to understand the Matrix, you should watch the films, watch the shorts, and play the game.

My comments here are my own; I do not speak for my employer.
Oh yeah.
Your post is the epitome of what's wrong with open source.
Steal codecs and suffer through configure, make, make install and friggin' path LD_LIBRARY_PATH configurations in .bashrc just to get something to work that takes ONE CLICK on Windows or Apple.
Hooray for Open Source!

The latest version of Xine supports the codec used in the Revolutions trailer. D/L it, install it and watch the Revolutions trailer in all its full screen glory! :)
One step, you say. Okay, I'll try that. I ran that one step 13(The download of headers is a fragile operation that keeps stopping due to the connection breaking) times on Yellow Dog before all the headers got downloaded. Then, I got a message "Cannot find a package matching mplayer" So, maybe I won't watch this on Yellow Dog.
Don't get me wrong, IMAX is great. The Boeing-IMAX theater in the Pacific Science center does some very exciting large-format movies. But when it comes to theatrical releases, I prefer to see them at the Cinerama when I can.

Smith was still just an agent after he killed Neo. The shattering did something unexpected to agent Smith. I think Smith is the key, as nothing like him happened in all of the previous versions of the Matrix.

I like your argument, and it is supported by Neo merging into Agent Smith in the first movie - perhaps as part of the merge Neo gained some subconcious knowledge of how to interact with the machiene realm, and Agent Smit gained a bit of code that allowed himself to break free of the matrix and upload to a human brain.

T2 sucked compared to The Terminator (Everybody only says it was the otherway round becuase everyone else says so). Sequells always suck, with the exception of The Maritx and Bill and Ted.
possible dune reference? readers of the series will remember that Muah'Dib gets blinded but can still function because of his vision into the future.
Overrated tripe.
Good special effects that's about all it has going for it.

Wah!
I'll be watching it, if for nothing else than to see the ending. It's rumored that almost 1/3rd of the budget for the two sequels (~$60 million, IIRC) was spent on the last 20 minutes of the movie.
I went frame by frame and noticed some interesting things I'd post since no one else did...at least not that I've yet read:
First a theory, the large glowing conduits I would say are power lines to 01, the machine city, running from the matrix, which would likely not be in the same place. These lines I would assume carry power from the matrix where it is produced. The large spikey thing....I won't really speculate but the face that you see looks an awful lot like the face of the architect when you freezeframe.
In the background of that same scene, where the spiked object says, "Speak" you'll notice spires and towers, which I would assume are part of the machine city 01. Neo tells this construct that smith is out of their control, that they can't stop him, but neo can.
Next scene, agent smith and what one would assume to be other agent smith's climbing stairs, but perhaps NOT.
The rain, lots of smith's, neo, and smith.
Cut to what I assume to be the architect in machine form, asking neo, "and if you fail?". This face seems to look very similar to the face of the architect, but it is hard to tell, given that it's more like a mosaic.
Jump to next scene, what one would assume to be neo jumping to avoid smith who flies in through a hole in the wall, in a superman style.
Change to scene with neo wearing blindfold, sitting in a chair. Neo says, "I won't". Though with differing scene background, I wouldn't believe that the one with the machine construct is followed directly by this scene. Note the probe behind him, the one they use to jack in with....watch the way it moves, I don't believe this is held by a human, rather this is a part of a machine, perhaps neo is in the machine city jacking into the matrix? It doesn't move like a human was holding it, rather, it sways and then jabs itself forward, note the lack of human hand.
Change scene, trinity, asking, "Do you know what happened to neo?" We aren't shown who she's talking to, but because we hear the oracle's voice next, we assume the oracle. Neo is also shown opening his eyes.
Change seen once more, we see large floating machine constucts, unsure of what they might be, though I would assume guardians to the machine city, as you'll notice the assumed power lines below them.
Oracle tells the listener(we assume trinity) that neo is in a place between "THIS world"(note she says this rather than real) and the machine world. We would assume the oracle could not be in the real world, as she is a program, so if we want to assume neo is trapped between the real world and the matrix, we must assume the machine world is then the real world, controlled by machines. You'll notice trinity wearing her traditional matrix costume, which would imply she is in the matrix at that moment.
During the oracle speaking, we also see what appear to be large cylindrical towers in the distance, and on the ground, what appear to be the fields where humans are grown. This would appear to be supported by the machine on the right with the tubes seen in the first movie that plucked humans from the "trees" and used the tubes to transport them. I would assume the cylinders are where the humans are "stacked" in their pods.
Cut to Morpheus, Trinity, and what appears to be Seraph, though we are unsure as we never see his face entering what appears to be a club. The merovingian is speaking now. "Bring me the eyes of the oracle and I'll give you back your savior". Trinity and morpheus and what again, appears to be seraph are all seen holding guns to the people in the club.
Merovinigan still speaking, cut to scene in a subway station. A subway car is seen in the background. Note the guy who punches what is assumed to be neo. He was in "Enter the matrix" He said something to the order of "3 days and zion shall fall, that's the way it happened last time" It's the same guy. I believe he also had a cutscene in Reloaded. He's the homeless guy. If this is meant to be neo who is punched, the stunt d
There are several clues in The Animatrix the give away the ending of Revolutions. The machines lost the war.
But our princess is in another castle!
Nice link -- IMO, far more interesting, consistent, and enlightening than the parent.
sorry to go off topic a bit, but re: the scene you are mentioning...remember the religious overtones in this series mixed with the 6 versions of the matrix (conception, perhaps? birth/life/death etc...) and even look into greek philosophy (hint, Plato's Allegory of THE CAVE) and you may begin to climb a bit up the evolutionary scale. That scene wasn't gratuitous nor random. That is all, citizen
Thank you.
Am I the only one who heard the Merovingian say, "Bring me the eyes of the Oracle, and I will give you back your saviour." I'm thinking somehow he gave his eyes to her, or to him, or something
If you watch closely, The Morivingean is likely to be saying...
"Bring me the eyes of the Oracle, and I will give you back yours!"...then the scene of him saying "Saviour" is from somewhere else.
There's a similar spot in the Reloaded trailer where Morpheus seems to be saying something like "Only one person can save us...Neo" where the last word was from a different scene.
Good to see the Morivingean back by the way!
Read it, you'll like it.
She's in the "Help" commercial trailer on the website.
I don't think it's a great turnoff for me--assuming there's some explanation for it in the plot (e.g. Smith finds Oracle and she has a "rebirth.")

I just can't wait until I can waste my life tapped into the Matrix Online, fighting the evil machine which seeks to destroy our lives by forcing us to continue its existence with all of my comrades of the MMORPG revolution...
six hours ? sheeeeiiiit
my Xbox running Gentoo linux took like over a DAY to emerge mplayer... mainly because unless you disable some things in your use flags, it had to have SDL, and QT which are some more bitches
"Sorry folks, Quicktime 6 only."
What's wrong with QuickTime?
AFAIK, mplayer plays most QT movies just fine, so that can't be a problem?
Just a thought.
<rant>
I can't imagine they could possibly make up for the travesty that was Reloaded. Wish I had never seen nor heard of that so called "sequel". I just don't undestand how they could go from so brilliant, to so not... in supposedly the same universe (actors/writers/directors).
The wool was definitely pulled over my eyes and that's something I care not to repeat.

</rant>
The previous one (Reloaded) had a uber-HQ trailer that was an awesome 1000 x 540 pixels QT. It is the highest quality video clip I've downloaded to date. Is there something similar available of this?
Must-not-watch TV!
As ive had 5 versions of trailers for this movie for about a month now. Mine are in mpeg format too.
Here are the instructions for Windows:
- Download mediaplayer
- Execute installation file
- Watch movie
But Linux is so much better though.
Bwahahahaha
Go Linux go!
The two parents you see in the trailer sold the Oracle's shell to the Merovingian to protect that little kid. That's what was said in Enter The Matrix. So, she has a new shell.
"Sufferin' succotash."
Ok, abuse me if this has been said before, but why is Neo wearing a blindfold in some of the clips taken from outside of the Matrix? Is this a consequence of what happened at the end of Reloaded? He isn't wearing it all the time, so I'm not sure what's right.
Notice in Reloaded that the perimeter defenses (outside the gates) are much larger and probably computer-controlled. Also, in the new trailer at 1m54s there appears to be a central tower with heavy weapons. The Mech suits provide a more portable solution.
The codecs aren't "stolen". They're offered by the manufacturers of the codec, most eaily through Windows Update. Aside from that, I own legit copies of Windows 98, so am I not entitled to use the codecs?
Fuck off, troll.

The MPEG-4 container is based on QuickTime's
QuickTime 6 isn't "based on MPEG-4". QuickTime 6 introduced Apple's implementation of MPEG-4.No, the MPEG-4 Audio specfication calls for AAC audio.
Also, like I stated in my original post, Sorenson are a company. There is no single "Sorenson codec". For example, Sorenson provide an MPEG-4 video encoder that is arguably one of the best available.
Yes, there are plenty of AVI files with DivX video that don't use MP3. Many people choose to use Vorbis, and there'd be no reason they couldn't use other formats.You'd almost think that MPEG-4 is an evoultion of MPEG-2 for online and low-bandwidth content, wouldn't you?Yes, making your video codec comply with the MPEG-4 standard would be considered part of the process of writing an MPEG-4 video codec...
You're struggling with the whole "Sorenson are a company that write many different video codecs for many different video formats" concept...
