Captain FuKu Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 If anyone's bought The Matrix: Revolutions yet(and if you haven't you're not cool), you'll notice on the special features disc a trailer for "The Matrix: Online".I rented it. So, I guess I'm not cool. ......... I thought the first one was decent, second one wasn't as good, but still alright. Third one....what happened? I never saw it in theaters, so saw for the first time last night. I knew there were harsh criticisms, but I like to try and give movies the benefit of a doubt if I haven't watched it. What blew it for me was that if this movie tried to just be an action/special effects type movie, fine -- it'll probably work in that case. But it tried to be philosophical, and therein lies its fault -- for me, at least. It's so-called philosophical questions it asks are nothing more than mainstream ideals trying to cleverly disguise itself as something profound. If you've read philosophical works for just a few years, you see through that bullshit easily. If you want to read some hardcore philosophy, look into the writings of Jiddu Krishnamurti -- but that's just one. Oh...and the fight sequences this time around were much more special effects heavy than previously, it seems. I didn't really get into that, and the whole flying around in the air fighting and those giant earth shattering explosions.
BuRRdRinkA Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Revolutions sucked mad balls!!! That movie was a peace of sh*t, Reloaded was cool and left you wondering how the crazy 3rd would be....what a waste of time!!!! They shouldn't have made any more after the first one!!!!!!I guess Aaliyah and the first Oracles' deaths were a sign huh?
StriderSkorpion Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Actually, K'dash, The Thing game was after the movie. It's about a rescue team that was sent to see what happened at the base (or whatever it was). They came as a result of the rescue signal they sent, I believe. I'm not totally clear on the story, as I haven't read about it for a while. I still want to try it out, though.
OverlordMondo Posted April 9, 2004 Author Posted April 9, 2004 I didn't notice any philosophical questions......Special effects are kewl, YAY!

They shouldn't have made any more after the first one!!!!!!I guess Aaliyah and the first Oracles' deaths were a sign huh? Yes! Finally someone agrees! If anyone wants to read by review of Matrix Revolutions, PM me. I can't post it here because its way too explicit but its funny.

If anyone wants to read by review of Matrix Revolutions, PM me. I can't post it here because its way too explicit but its funny. I still think Revolutions was cooler than Reloaded...marginally though. I don't like bashing the Matrix series, because it is the Matrix and it brought something new to the movies. Sure, the first one was the best by far, but the other two just finished the story. ...On a lighter note, who here liked Animatrix? I sure did.

I still want to try it out, though.I know the game takes place after the movie, but the game has connections to the movie after it ended. ( A rescue team was sent in to check out on what happened at the outpost. They searched the base for a while and they find Child's frozen body, they (The search and rescue team) searches the frozen Antartic for survivors )
B4b00n Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 I thought this post was about Matrix Online!! I've heard that Ubisoft, the distributor of the game, has left the project. I wonder how this will affect to the game development.

Inky Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 the only mmorpg I'm remotely interested in is worlds of warcraft. the animatrix was kool. I liked it. I haven't seen teh final matrix movie yet.

It brought about new things, especially lame-o techno dorks that only got interesting in this kind of stuff because of the movie. That and all those people who study the Matrix like its some kind of religion and those people who believe that the Wachowski Brothers are some great visionaries for the future. And garage, you're not missing much by not seeing the final Matrix. Actually...you'll be missing a massive headache, laughter at the terrible dialogue, the horrible fight scenes, and just how bad some people could ruin a promising trilogy like the Matrix. But hey, that's just me and I'm an idiot so I don't know what I'm talking about.
OverlordMondo Posted April 9, 2004 Author Posted April 9, 2004 But hey, that's just me and I'm an idiot so I don't know what I'm talking about.May the truth be told!
N3oGhost Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 But hey, that's just me and I'm an idiot so I don't know what I'm talking about.And knowing is half the battle...........
