Matrix 4 & 5 in 3D! WTF? Page 3

    Well considering the book sounds batshit mental I'm not surprised.

    I'll be adding that to the reading list.

    im conflicted about the matrix.(2 & 3). The Zion 'real world' stuff was a fcuking joke. All the karma stuff kinda was ok until the architect minced on screen. The Will Ferrel skit was class. The actual action in the sequels was superb and in a different league to infected ballsac that is transformers.
    In short if the new films are not prequels and all this karma/destiny/real world shite is made more palatable it would be great. PS Neo didnt die at the end of revolutions did he? didnt the machines carry him off on a floaty thing?

    My mum's read Cloud Atlas, she says it's great. It's been lying next to my bed for about a year now.

    I've read it, good book but I can't remember any of it!
  • Deleted user 24 January 2011 13:03:54
    The implication is that Neo died. You can be dead and be carried away, y'know ;)

    Even though the sequels were poor, you have got to love the hand to hand combat fighting in them. I love the bullet time action stuff.

    With all the 'Messiah' talk in the first three movies, surely it makes perfect sense that Neo will come back from the dead

    as a zombie

    I agree with the article. If they're gonna do it, don't make it like the second and third films. They were shit. Still, I'd go and see it.

    I just had a genuine sad moment when I realised that Trinity is unlikely to be back in these. Not sure how they would handle a movie with some superhero-type dude, without having some kind of lois Lane/Mary Jane Watson love interest anymore. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it certainly makes it more difficult I reckons.

    Knowing the Wachowski's, They'll probably just bring back 'The Kid' from the sequels and have him move in with Morpheous and Neo, making it like 'Two and a Half Men' or something.

    He (the kid) can be the gay love interest for Neo.

    I would probably go and see it too, unless it was a prequel.

    Whatever the quality of the actual story is like, it will almost certainly be worth a watch in 3D.

    NEO, I BELIEVE!

    Oh, and it would be easy for neo to come back, he would just be another program.

    In fact, with the whole retarded Bane thing, they could quite easily have him hopping in and out of bodies like fucking avatar.

    He could jump into the body of a woman, and have it be like Mrs Doubtfire/Tootsie.

    Hilarity ensues! :D

    Better still, He and Morpheous could do a swap like in Vice Versa with Fred Savage and Judge Reinhold!

    /pictures the first scene of Neo realising he's in Morpheous body, peeking down into his pants and saying "Whoa".

    yikes I never saw any such implications. I would go back and watch it again if it wasnt so shit.pity.
    Id wind up skipping all the dialog and watching the pretty fighting bits!

    What bugged me was the final fight in matrix 3.
    That just went on and on.
    How did they screw it up, the fighting in 1 was awesome.

    Harry Knowles (Aintitcoolnews) actually did a pretty decent review of Reloaded, where he pointed out that every fight in the first movie is all linked in to the growth of the character, and really works as part of the narrative.
    In the sequels, it's basically just chop-socky for the hell of it. Worst offender on reflection I feel, is when he meets Seraph for the first time whilst wanting to meet the Oracle, and gets told "First, we must fight".
    Fucking WHY?!?
    Couldn't they have just showed us how powerful he/Neo were in a new/different way to allow access, rather than start a pointless 5 minute scrap that progresses the story in no way whatsoever? REALLY bugs me on repeat viewings!!

    Is anyone still interested in the matrix story? It got so shit I think my brain just stopped taking it in during the 3rd film.

    They could do a very good movie on it by ignoring the pop-scifi mystical architect nonsense, the hippy commune shit, and maybe just maybe come up with an entirely different story in the Matrix world perhaps 500 years ago, with Merlin as Neo. Or Jesus.

    So it turns out that Keanu never even said these things, and it was a load of bollocks.

    This, apart from the cave rave, has got to be the most annoying scene in all 3 films. Apparantly "you cannot know someone until you have fought them". Fuck. Off.

    I love the Matrix trilogy, I like the amalgamation of hackerspeak and philosophy.
    Also I would have not heard of Juno Reactor or Rob Dougan if it weren't for these movies.

    ..

    Perfectly happy with them doing this as long as they do it right.

    Also, Reloaded wasn't as bad as all that.

    Revolutions however was a crusty, flattened dog turd with another crusty, flattened dog turd on top of it and a mouldy cow pat in the middle.
    That sound remarkably similar to a motorway service sandwich.

    I love and hate the Matrix sequels. I mean they have the motorway chase, the agent Smith fight, the nightclub scene, the cryptic architect speech etc. Then they have the awful Zion rave, that love scene ... everything in Zion basically.

    I think having the isolated ship in the first film really made it feel like the few against the many. The sequels made it look like they were doing fine and felt more like Starfleet taking on the Borg or something. They had councils, politicians and generals. Quite a change from a few survivors hiding on an old hovercraft.

    Well whatever we thought of those films, the story got finished.

    So this would be a new story, new characters etc. A new slate.
