The OFFICIAL "For those who've seen Revolutions"

yea we need to all be done with this and get back to the awesome movie.. and virus i have expressed my opinion and explained the parts of the movie several times already.. just not in this thread... anyways back to the movie!

Yes, what an excellent idea, forumcrew. 😉

So: Is Neo really dead?

i hope not, i dont think we've seen this last of him, he'll be back in some form

the body cant live without the mind... but whos to say the mind cant live without the body...

I've just returned from seeing it with Mrs.MM and we both feel really let down. The first two films (the first the most of course) made me consider philosophical issues about humans and our concept of reality, but the finale was nothing more than a glorified action flic for me.

I'm not saying I hated it, I just went expecting another head-f**k like the first two and didn't get it. I even preferred the spoiler version that appeared in this forum not too long ago... 😉

i gotta admit, m1 was the best..... NOT saying the others sucked

Forum> That's what I'm thinking.
Maybe he'll be some "ghost" in The Matrix On-line?

Mech> The consider this: 😄 What is sacrifice?

theres gotta be an easter egg in the game about him....

Maybe we'll never know. His fate does remind me of Dune Messiah and God Emperor of Dune, though.

i forgot to ask if everyone noticed the bench at the end from "preload" on the reloaded extras dvd

Well the dictionary says...

"Slaughter of a victim or presenting of a gift to win a god's favour; this victim or gift; giving up of a valued thing for the sake of something else; thing given up, loss entailed"

But I say true sacrifice is going on a two week holiday with your in-laws just to keep the wife happy. Believe me, I'd have returned to the source had it been an option. 😉

lol, just a thought...... the archie in his room....

'i gotta go meet the oracle and have a chat... the door to my left leads to the source.... thats no good... and the other one takes me to a blown up building.... sh!t"

Mech> Well, I just wondered why you found nothing philosophical about Revolutions (maybe you’re still suffering from in-law holiday???).
The entire part about karma/purpose/choice at the Mobil Avenue scene I’m still digesting, along with what it was, exactly, that made Neo realise where his path would end. And would he still have made the choice to sacrifice himself, if Trinity hadn’t (cries again) died?
(sniffs – finds handkerchief).

Dave> 😆

Just in here to tell DarkVirus to cool his jets...

well, its late, i gotta get up tomorrow, g'nite, and if anyone bad mouths the film.... you know what to do

I'm not saying none of it was philosophical, I just wanted a mind-job like I got with the other two. I realise that by telling this story over several films is likely to give ever decreasing returns of shock value in philosophical terms, I just expected one final melon-twisting ending to leave me satisfied yet craving more knowledge, you know? 😕

First post here guys - so go easy on me. 😛

Ok, just got back from watching Revolutions. I enjoyed it but tbh it wasn't quite what i was hoping it would be. I dunno why. Just felt a little hollow leaving the cinema.

Re: The ending. Does anyone think the movie ended the way it did purely because of the Matrix Online game. I guess what i mean is the film had to be left open ended because of the game. Would there have been a different ending if the game wasn't in the pipeline. Just a thought?

all the game really needs is the matrix to exist.. and i dont think they would of had the matrix not exist no matter what

thats what i was thinking, perhaps if they ended the film THEN thought of ways to market a game, it may have been different

Indeed, but instead they are working on the game right now.
