I was waiting for some big color changing hair cause the final fight was such a Dragon Ball Z rip off....

:p

Yeah, the DragonBall Z at the end is so obvious that one couldn't help but see it. I wanted to shout "Kick his ass, Goku!"

I haven't heard any interviews because the brothers aren't doing interviews, Jack. They obviously left the possibility open.

During Fishburne's interview on Conan this week, he said it was the last one.

Saw it last night in a half crowded theater. Entertaining movie! F*** the critics and those who bash it.

Obviously, not as good as the first (possibly better than reloaded), but not many sequels are!

Return of the Jedi?
Last Crusade?
Alien 3?
Goldmember?
Superman 3?
Godfather 3?

I know that these are all different kinds of movies, but the same principle applies. We get used to it and it isn't new to us anymore.

Hopefully, ROTK will be the exception.

I look forward to the complete DVD set of the Matrix trilogy.

they've mentioned it in various interviews (reeves, carrie ann, and the rest of the cast) stating that this was the last one and they would be no way to continue it. it's over.

I just hope they will do a commentary for the rumored matrix trilogy special edtitions.

The statement that "this was the last one" isn't one that's fixed for eternity. Minds can change, and eventually they might.

The statement that "there would be no way to continue it" is obviously false. It was left wide open for a sequel.

I'm not saying there will be a sequel, I still think it's quite unlikely, but it seems silly for us to say that there absolutely definitely never will be.

thank you Mr. Pink

Its appearance is lots of floating machines that have formed into a face, and its voice is lot of voices speaking simultaneously. Since it doesn't appear to be one machine, I don't think it could be the Architect. I think it's the AI of lots of machines, perhaps the machines that are the most important/powerful in the machine world or something.

The source can do stuff to them, but it can't directly control them. Individual programs like the ones that make up the family Neo meets in the train station are capable of disagreeing with the source, so I don't think there's any way all the programs could have one general intelligence. (I'm not sure this answers your question :S)

At the very end, the Architect says that he won't go back on his word because he isn't human. I think this is meant to tell us that the machines and programs - all of them - will never go against their word, all other things being equal. It seems to me that if and when the war starts again, the humans will be the cause of it.

Is this a reference to Reservoir Dogs? I've never seen that movie :\

yep, steve bucemi (i don't get why he called you that but oh well)

because of Mr. Pink's scene with Mr. White after they got back to the meeting place........about Mr. Pink only knowing for sure that he wasn't the rat

For those who feel there’s still doubt regarding the ending of The Matrix Revolutions, the following pertains to the chorus heard during the final battle (and end credits) of this movie:

The preceding was taken from the booklet of The Matrix Revolutions: Music from the Motion Picture CD.

Incorrect.

the architect didn't want smith unplugged, he just wanted neo to reload the matrix so smith and all the other programs could be reset.........no way the architect wanted smith reaking havoc inside his symphony of mathmatical precision

I hadn't seen Revolutions yet when I asked. I was working on what I "knew" from Reloaded. It was all made clear when I saw the movie yesterday.

But thanks for answering, just the same. :)

Hey, I'm just working with what the cookie lady said in that scene. ;)

I liked the movie. After reading through (most) of this thread, I still only have one question. Why didn't they have more EMP weapons INSIDE zion? Just as a final backup plan that would take out any machines that might have come through?

Also, this movie rocked on the imax screen. I don't remember the last time I went to the IMAX (was very young), but the sound and the visuals were absolutely amazing. The battle scene with all the APU's pointing up was tremendous; I wish I had that shot for my wallpaper.

no EMP's because it would knock out their own systems........which might include life support............don't think the Hammer's did though so as a backup they should have at least thought about it

Too true but given the chewing out Niobe & Co. received from Locke because of their using the Hammer's EMP, I'm sure if anyone suggested such a backup plan before Locke simply shot them down and kept such a suggestion from reaching the council (as they would have probably overruled his decisions as before).

Saw it on Wednesday, thought it was good...not great. But I did enjoy it. The Zion battle was really cool. But it left me wanting something more. I know we already saw many great fight scenes in the first two films, but I was really looking forward to some great kung fu/kick ass scenes. I enjoyed it though.

One thing that I don't think anyone has touched on, was the music. It didn't really do anything for me, unlike the previous two films. I thought the music in the Matrix and Reloaded was just great! A few scenes that I can think of off the top of my head are the lobby shoot out music, the highway scene music, burly brawl, etc. The music in those scenes just fit perfectly! It just added so much. In Revolutions, I just didn't really think the music moved me like it did in the first two. Anyone else?

Though I personally loved the music in Revolutions ("Neodammerung"and "Navras" especially), I'm not suprised people wouldn't get the same vibe with music of this film since it moves away from the style of the first two films' scores and ismore orchestral in nature. The music of all three is great but the third is a big change (though hinted at in the music from the second and expanded from the music of the first - particularly the reverse chestburster scene) so it unsurprisingly may rub some the wrong way. In fact, I remember back in the temporary Reloaded subforum a poster was complaining about how the music in Reloaded was too "pretentious" as a opposed to the "gritty" music of The Matrix.

a sentinel should have fallen on locke..........or even better morpheus should have kicke him in the junk

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought this. But, then again, I suppose the brothers assumed it'd be too easy to just kill him off... or something.

Maybe they should make a sequel for the specific purpose of killing of Locke. :D
