I finally saw the movie last Sunday. Here’s some thoughts on it. Hey, if you’re worse than me and still haven’t seen it, don’t read this. Spoilers. They’re hard enough to avoid if you haven’t seen it yet.

Some people said the movie was confusing. I didn’t think it was particularly complicated. The only thing that threw me off a bit was when that bomb exploded, but later I realized that it was just another image, set off by a particular action or word.

I loved the ending. You knew it had to be that guy, but then, he’s right next to Neo. The juxtaposition, excellent. I think they could have done without the “To be concluded” screen, however.

I like staying through the end of the credits. The directors even put their driver on the credits list. At the end, I got to see the teaser trailer for Matrix: Revolutions. Very cool.

The fight scenes made the movie. I was laughing through the scene where Neo fought all the Smiths. At points, I could tell he was CG, but the whole thing still amazed me. What made me laugh was at how surreal it was, and at how Neo could fight all of them at once. It’s kind of like in a video game where you shoot enemy after enemy, but it takes a lot to kill you. The other scenes didn’t make me laugh, but were much more impressive. How in hell did they do the car chase scenes? Who were those crazy stuntpeople?

What was the point of the porno scene with Neo and Trinity? That’s basically what it was. And about the point, I mean besides to just have a sex scene. Seriously, how important was that to the plot?

One of the biggest events in the movie is Neo stopping the machines. So, what is reality? There are hints in the movie pointing to another Matrix before the obvious act. First, the Oracle knowing about Neo’s dreams. Second, the fact that the dream came true. Third, how was Smith able to download himself into that guy’s body? I could be wrong, but that’s what I saw. I bet if I watched the first movie again, I could find hints in the words.
