I'm seeing it first thing Wednesday at noon! Hell muthafukkn' yeah!

 

pah! I am going to have to wake up at 6:30am to go see it at 9. First showing...and in IMAX! WOOT!

 

haha....did you all already forget about the turd that went by the name of matrix reloaded?

 

Think I'll just wait till the first wave has gone... little there is that irritates me more than a cinema filled with people shouting, clapping and commenting on the blindingly obvious.

Although, seeing it in an IMAX theatre would more than compensate for the inconvenience... do we have one of those in Europe?

 

dunno...but the screen in tennispalatsi in helsinki is quite big (700+ seats).

 

Doh! There is one at 40 minutes travelling distance from Amsterdam, but it only shows national geographic style documentaries...

 

There are three in the UK: London, Bradford & Manchester.

I enjoy the film for the computer concept and the intense action sequences, but the theme smacks of liberalism (especially the obvious anti-White statements.)

 

"anti-White"?

I don't think there are obvious anti-white themes as I did not notice them.

 

That is not fair, in IMAX, really?
Just saw Reloaded on video a few days ago, so I must watch it again before seeing this one.
It's pretty complicated philosophy that they have managed to drag into an actionmovie like that. How many are really getting it? I'm hoping they have not decided to have less philosophy and more action in this one, but rather the other way around.

 

To echo wesmorris- anti- white?

When the creator of the matrix and the hero and heroine are both white? I was wondering about a lack of hispanic characters myself.

And dont diss liberals, without them you likely wouldnt be here. You'd have been squelched long ago.

Hey Biggles, you call yourself that because youve read most of the books or you liked the film or is it your real name?

 

What philosophy? The only think that the Matrix brings to the table is some little pop-philosophy quips that it uses and then disposes of as it needs 'em. The Matrix is not a DEEP movie, it's not a "Smart" film. If you think it is either of these, it's time for you to go out and get a fucking education, or at least rent some better movies for gods sake.

If you're not going spacificaly for the kung-fu and gun play I honestly don't know what's wrong with you

What anti-white statements exactly? Both neo and trinity are white, that spirtual leader guy is white, there are white people on their little Zion councel, and I sure as hell can't remember any racial issues in the film that go beyond human and machine.

Let me guess, you're just upset becaues zion is full of minorities, right? What a desperate future it must indeed be when the last surviving free humans are mixed pretty equaly! Neo will save humanity from the machines, but who will save the white-race from being bred out?! haha.

 

Damn you!!

Wish I didn't have school Tomorrow. I'll be writing a chem test while you wander aimlessly through Chinook...

 

Philosophy is where you find it. The movie can be as deep or as shallow as the individual viewing it dont' you think? Hmmm.

Does that mean you're shallow?

 

The Matrix is a metaphor for African Slavery:

There was a five minute African dance sequence!!!
Take another look at the plot. I wasn't upset by minorities in the film at all, Morpheus was one of my favorite characters. However, I wouldn't put it above the creators of the film: they enjoy toying with people's minds, as seen in their use of the Bible as story fodder. Where do the agents eat? That's right...at fine French food restaraunts.
