Question, in the first movie, Neos apartment number is 101... In the second movie, when they go to see the french guy and they get off the elevator, behind them is a big neon 101 sign...
in binary, 101 = 5
anybody else see this? (notes conversation with architect in which he talks about the 6th one)
also, at the begining, agent smiths car has the license plate <b>IS 5416</b>, and Isaiah 54:16 says "See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to work havoc;"

My favorite is when one of the guys has a big polearm and doesn't do a fancy jump flip up the stairs but just sort of hovers up the staircase. He doesn't even look like he TRIED.

Furthermore, every scene involving wires looked like they were too tight: instead of performing a backflip to land on a second story banister, neo just kinda floats up there backwards and lightly touches the floor. It looked like it was shot underwater.

In reloaded, Neo is 100% invincible, invulnerable, and unstoppable. What was the POINT of the kung fu scenes? Is he going to die? He can't die! Captured? He'll just fly away!
In matrix 1 the oracle is completely wrong about Neo being 'the one'. Why would I give a crap what she has to say the second time around?
I must say the Keymaker was an interesting idea. It was a bit like having the encryption key to all the ports in the matrix. The 'infiltration' and takeover and systematic shutdown of the power grid was also pretty neato, complete with the twist that they all get KILLED.
Now one thing that totally ruins the movie: You have to keep in mind that Neo is a glitch in the matrix: He's a virus, more or less, that is corrupting and changing whatever he wants, twisting the matrix around and through him. He' can manipulate the matrix to perform how he wants whenever he wants. Yet now it's stupid. If he can manipulate the matrix, why the hell didn't he just delete Agent Smith? He can stop bullets with his mind, but he can't stop a god damn door from closing?
The best action flicks are the ones that do what you know is impossible. Kill Bill? Once Upon a Time in Mexico? They too occasionally threw out the laws of physics, and were all the better for it.

Question, in the first movie, Neos apartment number is 101...
In the second movie, when they go to see the french guy and they get off the elevator, behind them is a big neon 101 sign...
in binary, 101 = 5
anybody else see this? (notes conversation with architect in which he talks about the 6th one)
also, at the begining, agent smiths car has the license plate <b>IS 5416</b>, and Isaiah 54:16 says
"See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to work havoc;"

My copy of Reloaded should arrive by Saturday hopefully.
Basic Matrix Review (the viewing of The Matrix, the Animatrix and The Matrix Reloaded) shall commence Tues. Nov 4th
No wonder the trailer was so well done, IT WAS THE ONLY MATRIX FOOTAGE THAT INCORPORATED THE SONG. (excluding Animatrix)
