OK, first off I'd like to say this movie was great. I think we've all come to expect the good guy to win by destroying all the bad guys and leading the good people to Xanadu, the land of milk and honey. That didn't happen here, that doesn't mean it's a bad story. Look what did happene. Humans put up the best fight they could, did all that they could to defend their home and they couldn't save it. War failed. They had to rely on peace negotiations. Looked what happened there, they succeeded, but only to a point. Safety for now and hard work ahead of them. Lots of hard work. I think the most realistic part of this movie is the end. The whole series has been about chasing the truth. Now they have it, peace is hard work too. Would a movie about finding the truth, a movie about taking people out of their near utopian computer generated world and sticking them in this dirty, hell of a world that ended with everyone in another utopian situation really be satisfying? Would it be 'real' or would the Matrix just get tacked on to the list of sci-fi mysteries? Was Total Recall all just a memory plant? Was Deckard an android? Did Neo ever really leave the Matrix?
I don't know if any of you have tried to download the 'new' learning version but it I don't think this site is entirely stable. It took me twenty minutes to fill out the registration because I was having to fill out each form (one of them being all of four questions) two or three times. The site would crash everytime I tried to submit something. Just a bit annoying...
