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.
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.
So basically, just like the first film? No doubt this'll get modded as troll/flamebait, but I didn't see the need for sequels at all. The Matrix was a good film, with an open ending that I thought suited the nature of the film perfectly, and left what happens next to the watchers imagination. The sequels just seemed like sequels for sequels sake and I feel actually detract from the imagination and impact of the first film. Not least because they somehow had to bring Neo down from being all powerful at the end of Matrix 1 which casts doubt that the directors/writers intended the series to be a trilogy in the first place.
Indeed. Most of it was interesting and imaginitive, but the numerical stuff is a) clearly desperate, and b) ignores the relevance of synthesiser names. Trinity (made by Korg), Prophecy (Korg), Matrix (Oberheim), Prophet (Sequential), Virus (Access), Mirage (Ensoniq), Proteus (EMU), and SH-101 and TB-303 (Roland) are all relevant to the film -- a few of those are probably coincidental, but I'd be prepared to bet that the authors at least had at least a couple in mind.
Also c) it ignores the relevance of Orwell's Room 101, and the simple Neo=One=Room 101 and Trinity=3=Room 303 connections.
