Matrix Reloaded

Matrix Reloaded

Saw it lastnight with MOS. Doesn't let up with the action from beginning to end. The fight scenes are phenominally complexed. I'm suprised it didn't take 5 years to film. The storyline is OK to follow.
The end, well,,,,,,, hmm.......just wait and see.
AND
A trailer for the third one after the credits. Looks like some more of the same.
Oh, and just to make this thread pertinent to the board...
There's a canny tune played while Neo is nobbin Trinity.

im off to see it 2mrw sat in a cinema full of ginger no tanned sci fi geeks complete with hidden cameras and laptops...

is it out now then?

Premiers tonight.
Special previews from tomorrow.
General release Friday.

Lastnight was "Yer mate's lass' bro works for UCI and you can scab a freebie" night.

the more and more i've thought about it - the more i understand it now! gotta be a proper 'matrix geek' to get it fully. or maybe seeing it for a 2nd time will make it clearer...

still fcuking awesome like.

tried 'enter the matrix' last night for the Ps2, the backup boots fine, mint game - the bullet time thing is class!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i'm going to see it soon! Richie has to watch the first one first though so he's up to date! Cant wait!!!!


i aint read ur thread incase it ruins anything 4 me!

Akkk this always annoys me how The Matrix supposedly pioneered the "bullet time" technique.

In fact this technique was first created back in the early 1990's, long before The Matrix was released in 1999. The propper name for the technique is Dead Time (or the Muybridge Effect), and there are various ways of doing it (some more complex than others).

I think that the first time a form of this technique was seen in a feature film was Batman & Robin (the visual effects were completed by the now closed down Warner Digital). Still a good few years before The Matrix.

I'm not saying The Matrix isn't cool, but the media seem to have attached the creation of this technique to the film, which is very inaccurate. The producers of the film may have popularised Dead Time but they certainly didn't create it.

Rant over.

Hope that made you feel better.
BUT
To defend the Matrix (in an equally uncalled for manner), they never claimed to have created "Dead Time", only "Bullet Time" which may look similar in it's effect.
Ahh
I love to join in with things that I know nowt about.

im goin to see this 2nite

gettin

g/f goin to see this tonight. not really arsed though and i still havn't seen the 1st one.

does this make me weird???

Not wierd, just out of touch.
Well, okay... wierd then.

Bullet Time is another name for the Dead Time technique. The terms was coined Bullet Time by The Matrix producers because of the way in which it was used in the film. The underlying principles are the same.

God I'm sad aren't I!?!

Aint seen the first one yet either, but im taking a trip to see this with a mate, ill just be sitting there all dazed and confuzed......
nevamind maybe just maybe ill be able to 'get in to it'! xx

i'd watch the first one if i were you, so u get the gist of whats happening, cause they're all linked... it's on channel 5 tonight so there's yer chance!

arr cheers mate, id best watch it then aint I, got no excuse now! he he xx

the new one is much more involved, the story more complicated... seeing it without seeing the first would just drive u round the bend!! 'whos he?' 'why is she there?' 'whats his game?' aaiiiee. :spangled:
