BigChiefSlapaho Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 WOW! Saw it 3 times. What a phenomenal trailer. Have they shown this one in the theaters?!??! Have I missed it? Well... yeah... words escape me now... it was... wow. Neo... blowing things up with his mind... in the real world... Smith... everywhere. Did I see that correctly or did Neo make a pact with the Matrix core to eliminate the "rogue program" called Smith?... I've soiled my pants.

Reverend Jax Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 It's at www.thematrix.com, but it was being slammed so hard yesterday that even on a T1 connection I was getting less than 1 kbs. Now it's downloading fast. My review in just a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Bad...ass! Those three TV spots are nice. Definitely puts forth that "end all" feeling Reloaded set us up with. I said it after seeing Reloaded the first time, I've said it many times since and I'll say it again, Reloaded set up Revolutions to have the potential to be the one of the greatest movie ever, or the biggest disappointment ever. Reloaded raised the stakes, Revolution is going to have to come through, and it's poised to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigChiefSlapaho Posted September 29, 2003 Author Share Posted September 29, 2003 FYI, they've uploaded the most recent TV spot I talked about earlier to the www.whatisthematrix.com website. It's long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 ... I need to go download them trailers. Any movies their showing before lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 To the Miami crowd: OK, this one is notably trickier than Kill Bill. Firstly... The premiere (Eastern Standard Time) is at 9am on Wednesday (11/05). That is probably not doable for many of you. I personally want to see this movie at the first screening. I have work that day, but I think I can get off for a few hours ( teehee, get off for a few hours...). Others (possibly everyone else) might not care enough to rework their entire lives just to see this a few hours earlier than they could otherwise. The good news is, with kids in school, nine-to-fivers at work, it's possible it won't be crowded. Can't say for sure though. Secondly... Unlike The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions will release simultaneously on regular screen and on the iMax screens (not a few weeks later). I want to see it on the iMax screen at Sunset Place. Tickets there have not yet gone on sale, and I'm still working on finding out when they do, but they are $10 for students, $11 for adults, not a bad deal. Ticket have already gone on sale for a few non-iMax theaters, but not Dolphin. So I ask you all: a) Who's willing to do a 9am Wednesday (11/05) morning group outing? b) Who wants to do this right and see it at iMax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigChiefSlapaho Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Jeez... it's my birthday and all, and I should take the day off, but I don't know if that would be a good idea seeing as though I just got the job a few weeks ago. Perhaps I can swing something. I'd prefer seeing it with all the freaks later that evening tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 You don't think there well be freaks there at 9am? Just say you're willing, find out if you're able, and if no one else wants to go at 9am, this isn't a commitment or anything. I've already got two friend willing and able to come with me.

The NZA Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Wait...how long is Revolutions? Id hate to get like 20 minutes cut off of this one 'cause its I-MAX on the first viewing... Sorry tho, gotta count me out, ill be outta town that week. Those who're down to see it agian next week, lemme know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I checked the running times, and under The Matrix Revolutions it had a runnign time of 2 hours and 18 minutes and under The Matrix Revolutions: The iMax Experienceit had a running time of 2 hours and 18 minutes, so I think it's uncut.

The NZA Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 So..so if I-MAX can do 2+ hour movies, why was Reloaded cut, again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigChiefSlapaho Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 Well I knew it was too good to be true. My job is making me leave town for my birthday and the release of the Matrix. Sucks donkey balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 maybe that's why they're doing simoultaneous release now, cause they got a way to put whatever they want on Imax screens. I knew it couldn't be that damned hard to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 You in for the Imax show, Junker? Basically, I got 3 friend of mine going with me, none of them from the board, so it looks like it's not going to be a HB get together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Nah, timing wont be so good to me this time. I'll be up in gainesville watchin it with dinghy. I dont even think they have an Imax up there. Hmm, I wonder how much bigger their box office gross is going to look since lots of people are gonna be seeing it for double price at Imax. What a sneaky way to break records... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Imax prices are $11 adult, $10 student. That's about teh same as a ticket in NYC and not that far behind theaters like Dolphin (student $7.75, adult something like $9). Stupid movie industry.

JunkerSeed Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 hmm, I thought they were 12, anyways, it's still a bit more, but there's not enough Imax theaters for it to matter that much. Oh, and I bet in NY an imax ticket is respectively more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Anyway, I had a group of 4 going to see Revolutions at Dolphin tomorrow (Nov 5) at 9am, but one backed out. I have an extra ticket, if someone is up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soviet Zangief Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 So how was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Well, it took me a while to make it to a computer. So here's the review's punchline: I doesn't meet your highest expectations, but it doesn't fall short either. The fight in the rain is as epic as it gets. This was full out ku fung fighting while flying, done super well. The fight for Zion was awesome as well. In the end, I would have liked for more of the loose end to be tied up. This movie, like Reloaded was not nearly as good as the first Matrix, but it doesn't have to be in order to be badass. I satisfied me, but it will be alot long before movie history forgets The Matrix than the last to movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 *OCCASSIONAL SPOILERS ...i agree, left slightly lacking. Fight in the bridge was badass fun, but this one - and i watched it hours after rewatching Reloaded - felt all over the place. Less philosophy than either of the 2, more Star-Wars like at parts, maybe its all the ships. Also, the train driver guy was short and left-field, less explanation than even meteron guy. And yeah, resolution to certain fanboy sci-fi things wasnt really there, but what bothered me was the way the ending felt a bit...forced. Interestin tho, the people who died werent the ones i expected to do so. All in all, i almost felt like the series went in order of how much theyll be liked, with the last one bein the least - not a bad movie, but had a bit to follow up to overall, you know? Here's to a good box set in the near future, and it damn well better have the Animatrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
