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.
props to gnaa
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?

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!
Must..... Resist..... Easy..... Joke.....

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.

Come on now. Be honest with yourself. Wasn't this the most overhyped movie you ever saw?

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.

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.

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

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.
People still say things like - '*some big thing* - Great Scott!'
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.
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.

You're right. The Oracle is obviously their database admin. And I didn't understand half the stuff the Architect went on about - maybe he's their perl programmer?
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face
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.
This is where you're a pot accusing a kettle of being black, although the kettle is actually quite clean.
That's what you think...
