Well, we saw it, and it didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t suck. I was quite pleased with how things turned out, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not yet sure how I feel about the movie as a whole.
\n
\nOne again there were lots of bits that attempted to make me motion sick. Lots of them. During the Zion battle bits I looked away frequently, so I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t tell you whether is was excessively gorey or not, because I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t looking. There wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a lot of action in the Matrix, but then I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think there should have been. This movie was about the real world, so it made sense (to me anyway) to set the movie there.<\/p>\n
Though I did like the scene where Trinity, Seraph and Morpheus go to visit the Merovignian. Trinity definitely kicks butt, although I really did not get the point of the big S&M park. Perhaps that was Persephone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s punishment for her betrayal. Hard to say.<\/p>\n
Many of the questions I had were answered:
\nYes, the Oracle is the mother of the Matrix, and neener neener to everyone who said she wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t.
\nNo, there WASN\u00e2\u20ac\u2122T a Matrix within a Matrix JUST LIKE I TOLD YOU! HA!<\/p>\n
Although there were plenty of questions left unanswered, since I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m still not certain how Neo managed to do what he did in the real world. Since it didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t explain clearly, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll just assume I was right in my previous assumptions.<\/p>\n
I really liked the ending. It didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give you one of those tidying everything up scenes where everyone gathers together and hugs and is happy, but then Trinity is dead and Neo, if not dead, is seriously damaged goods. Michael seemed to think Neo was dead, I think the last scene as Neo was lying still, when everything shifted to how Neo saw it after he was blinded, was Neo\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s view, so he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still alive.<\/p>\n
What I particularly liked was that Neo finally got it. He finally figured out that humans and machines have to coexist for the world to continue.<\/p>\n
And I think that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why I liked the ending. There was still lots of work to do. Things weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t all peachy-keen and wonderful, but there was hope. It wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t at all what I expected, and it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a happy ending for everyone, and I liked that.<\/p>\n
Like I said, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll take a bit to sink in some more, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll write more later, but all in all I was pleased. And I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have to go get Michael soon, so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d best end here for now.<\/p>\n
Michael\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s comment was that the women in the Matrix can really drive, but they can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t park worth shit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
