The Matrix: Reloaded (Animatrix Discussion added)

The Matrix was the best film I'd seen the year it came out I think. The visuals more served the film than the other way around. Some of the images were just amazing - seeing where the humans were "farmed" & then the baby inside one of the pods being fed with the liquid, just excellent.
Good bit of relegious stuff in it also - images/ideas.
2 & 3 should hopefully expand on it all a great deal more, though presumably the 2nd will have some sort of cliffhanger ending given then 3rd will be out months after it. The next year of films gonna be great for sure though from december - The Tower Towers, Matrix Reloaded, Matrix Revolutions & the The Return of the King.

The Tower Towers?
Twin Towers, right?

I haven't actually seen the LoTR movie yet. Maybe I'll get it when it comes out on video...

I truly can't wait for the Matrix 2. I bought the first one on DVD, and now I'm gonna get the second!

The Two Towers = LOTR 2.

Two Towers, Twin Towers :rolleyes:

The films names are from the Books which were released, what 60 years ago now.

Well, my main gripe with using humans as heating pads is that the human body is an extremely complex organism. If you look at the food chain, it's basic science to realize that a more basic lifeform would require less fuel to survive.. Since we are such complex beings, we need a small amount of complex foods to keep going or a larger amounts of more base foods (Think plants) to live.

Now, what this equation is missing is the loss of energy throughout the food chain. If this hierarchy of People = Food = People could continue forever , it would be considered perpetual.. Which is quite literally impossible.

This plan might be possible until Human Beings are available (The ones already existing), but this supply would rapidly dwindle. And then, when you finally begin relying on babies to replenish your source of fuel, the supply would dwindle even more rapidly. It would be impossible to continue the "circle", because it would be terribly lopsided... More like a flat tire.

So, while this could be done. I'd give it a couple of years at the most because the heat that would have to be generated would require thousands upon tens or thousands of humans undoubetly, to work. And even the heat energy would be lost through conversion of heat to electricity, so that makes it even more difficult for this plan to work for very long, if at all.

Well, it is just a film

The only thing I noticed "wrong" with the film was the rooftop fight, while in bullet time where was trinity? You don't see her at all. Guess it might have looked wierd as presumably shes trying to get behind the agent (her running in slower, than than slow-mo might look a bit wierd).

Heh storm, do you know how they came up with this? Probably smoked some weird herb, sat on a couch and got a piece of paper, while they were watching a Jackie Chan movie. Using humans for fuel and sticking them in little egg shaped toilet bowls, and use some Microsoft buggy pooh program to make them think they're in another world. To me, that sounds like some real creative sh*t by those lucky bastards who made money off this movie.

the lastest matrix trailer is severe ownage, for lack of a better expression.

links should work well.

i downloaded the huge one... highest quality video i've ever seen. the matrix website said it far surpasses dvd and is ripped straight from their editing program. however, it gets kinda choppy in places for me.... i have a p4 1.6 ghz. any idea what i can do to make it smoother? any help would be seriously appreciated because the choppyness pisses me off to no end.
