OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately - Page 17

Overall I liked Matrix: Revolutions, but here's the ending I was hoping for:

PARTIAL OBLIGATORY SPOILER ALERT! WHOOP! WHOOP! WHOOP! AROOOOOOGA!

Agent Smith is defeated and the Machines in the Real World begin to leave Zion as per their agreement with Neo. As Morpheus looks upon the Machines leaving and realizes the War is over; and as that kid (can't remember his name, the one whom Neo freed from the Matrix in one of the Animatrix Shorts) runs into the Temple and announces to everyone in Zion that the War is over, one of the Sentiles leaving Zion stops in mid-air and flips open it's radio antennae/dish to recieve a message. Suddenly all the Sentiles turn around and in one tidal wave they rush into Zion and into the Temple, killing every man, woman, and child in Zion.

Back in the Matrix, the Matrix begins to repair itself. The Architect walks up to the Oracle, who is sitting on a bench and looking none-too pleased. Looking at the Oracle, the Architect states coldly "now we start over", and the movie ends.

Had they done an ending like this, it would have left things just as open as the real ending did, but without the sappy ridding-into-the-sunset ending we did get.

But I still like the movie overall.

The bitter sad truth about this Matrix movie is that we all had high hope, low expectations. The frist Matrix movie was wonder to behold, the second a formula and the third the second part of the second.

We were given a glimps of something great, and like the matrix being changed, it was taken from us leaving only the sence of dajavo.

This site sums it up quite nicely IMHO and it is a fan site. Beware, MAJOR spoilers ahead:

Good link. This is almost exactly how I felt about the movie, or at least what prevented me from feeling satisfied about it.

just saw t3. don't know what the complaints are about. sure, it was a gun-packed action-fest with a little philosophy on the side, but that's what 1 and 2 where. and the T-X might not have looked as dangerous as the T-101, but they don't have as much practice making women look dangerous. all in all, good action flick.

I liked T3 mainly because T-X was really pretty.

Has anybody seen that Tom Cruise samurai movie, I forget the title. Is it any good?

Atrocities · #**167** November 29th, 2003, 09:14 AM

The problems I saw with T-3 where mainly detail issues regarding shot angles and such. The T101 runs the T X down with a pickup truck and crashes here through a wall at the vet office, the car explodes for no reason, and the building he crashed her into was in the wrong spot given the fact that the girl ran out and to the side of her truck, directly infront of the vet clinic, yet the boy was in a cage in the very room that the T X was buired in after being ran through the wall by the T101.

Then there was the crane issue. The TX ran the T101 through a building whick conviently had exploding colums. That was very hockie.

To top it off, the father tells them to go through the super conductor thingy and it takes them a while to get to the plane, even with the TX following the, yet the T101 just happens to show up in the hanger, via a differant route, at the exact time as the two humans. I don't know.......

Then again, look at Tomb Raider 2, and all the plot details lost in that movie. Like what happend to her jet ski after she met up with the guys on the boat, and how can someone hold their breath and decompress after a long dive like that all the time riding on the back of a shark?

These days movies are going more for effect, less on plot. T3 was ok, but not great. Tomb Raider was ok, but not at all good.

Now for a good movie, see Pirates of the Carrabian. Goooood Movie.

And ya, the Tx was one very attractive peace of hardware. But not a girl you would take home to meet momma. (She just might off terminate your momma.)

ok, but don't most action movie's have problems? and, as i just thought, in T3 they remembered to run out of amunition and reload.

Ya, that is always a nice thing to see in a movie. Too bad they never show how a true gun on auto climbs. If you have ever shot one, and I have many, you would know that you don't shoot a gun and not get recoil, unless its a 22 or something.

Still, they did do a nice job on a lot of the movie, and I think it is worth a rental or dvd cost.
