                                                      I think the story is excellent.

*possible spoilers*

Also makes you think even more when you watch the first movie again.  Interesting to see in the 1st movie when panning into the interrogation room it is the Architect’s room with all the TV’s that you are moving into.

I thought the movie was very good up until the scenes became very segmented towards the end; eg the power plant bit, which I think the movie doesn’t go into enough, but which is much more thorough in the game. (which is a rubbish game BTW)

Interesting to hear people's theories on the ending, which coiuld imply that Zion is a Matrix within a Matrix, which would be an interesting, yet somewhat anti-climatic twist for the trilogy.

[If you have the time and effort,  this rather lengthy exegesis raises some interesting points about the movie. LINK]

                                                      I really loved the Matrix Reloaded, the thing is, just two days before I saw Reloaded, I saw the first one for the first time. I can't wait for the third one to come out. More great leather action.

They were my favorite also, King Pillow.  I must say though that Tommy has a point about it being so choppy in the end.  I wasn't expecting it to end quite as abruptly as it did.  I look forward to the 3rd one to see how it ends.  Of course, people could say the same about the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but at least with those movies if you've read the books you know how it ends.  Not so with this movie....ahh the anticipation!

                                                      i loved it.  so complex and interesting.  i can't wait til i can get my hands on a DVD so i can watch it over and over again.

i read the link Tommy gave.  it sort of opens a lot of things up, but i am not buying into the explanations given.  

Neo is really the devil.  the Architect is God.  Neo represents choice, which in essence is evil because in most incarnations of Heaven we are only to serve God.  the two doors represent God giving the devil his chance to come back to Heaven and be a good angel or go back to Hell and suffer again.  Neo chooses selfish love and flies out of the fire back to her, retrieves her, and returns her to Hell again. both Trinity and Neo are dead and living in the afterlife.  they have powers there now (like Neo stopping the sentinels).  watch for Smith and Neo to unite in the next one and both have powers that compliment each other.  they will assault God and Heaven.  who will win?  who knows

also, the twin dreadlocked dudes were the coolest thing ive seen in a movie in a long time.  they are classic.  im 29 years old but i felt like a little boy leaving that theater.  i wanted to be able to shift through things and be badass like they are.  great film.

[Tommy]

Interesting theory Inspekta, I'll have to watch it again to see what happens there.  If the ship doesn't come till after Neo falls, then why do you think it was the ship that sent out the EMP pulse? If that is the case, it was quite misleading.  

Can't wait till the next installment.

   Hmmmmm i've watched that peice a fwe times now... and i believe that Neo actually destroyed the sentinals, using his own electrical system.. his body which is why he passed out.....

Think about it... he 'sacrficed' Zion to save Trinity, but did he? Was all the Archietect say true or was it another misdirection? And he did admit that Neo was slightly more 'advanced' the the others who had been 'The One'.
So in this respect maybe Neo can be capable of doing more than his predessors??
Just a theory   

[colorless]

Didn't the guys with the dreadlocks survive? When they're blown into the air, you see them in them change into their spirit form and fly away really quickly.

[Ronin6th]

Neo controlling the sentinels...and what if Zion and the "supposed" real world was another Matrix, made to contain rebel minds...

By the way, Lambert Wilson made me really laugh...I don't know if what he says in French is translated in the English version...cause it has a very  "Explicit Content"!
