I clicked play on it and started reading, then got to the part about it being an hour long. Seriously? If a fan film isn't a fifteen minute fare, I'm probably not going to watch it.

The Matrix sequels topped Keanu on my hate list anyway.

i liked all three, never known why people didn't like them.
No idea. They're better if you're a philosophy major, or so I hear, due to all the damn layers and allusions in EVERYTHING.

It was good CG and fight scenes. The story made no sense, especially with humanity living on the surfance. It was quite clearly established in the first matrix movie that it was too cold to live on the surface which is why humanity lived underground. I believe Trinity even says that it is closer to the core/mantle of the earth for heat. In one of the Animatrix short films someone eludes to Zion being powered by geothermal power as well.

Animatrix - Also any surface dwelling it is doubtful structures like that exist as the matrix is several hundred years into our future, the world was devastated by nuclear war as humanity attempted everything it could to fight off the robots. The reason why the sky was tainted was from a constant nuclear bombardment to raise enough dust into the air to starve the robots of energy from the sun (the only source at the time that provided sufficient amounts).


Animatrix - It's demonstrated in flight of the osiris that the robots have significant control of the surface and the crews follow stealth procedures to get as close as they could to the the robot diggers.

You may ask how Neo and Trin were able to get the Robot city without interruption - surprise, unexpectedness or Neo just knew with his magical out of the matrix powers.

I would also add that the idea he was able to fly outside of the matrix was a bit far fetched. Neo when he fried the Robots remotely flung himself into the Matrix in the first instance and barely could hold it against the enslaught of approaching the robot city. If he was better than Kay in the Matrix why was he not better than him outside of the Matrix (IE: Fly to robot city, kick ass, win?)


So many freaking holes I hate it really. Poor story just over shadows everything and leaves more questions than the damn matrix trilogy did.

There are things in this movie that introduces some interesting concepts, don't get me wrong. But I can't get over how it ignores established cannon either.

Boy, the French are marvelously weird aren't they?

I loved the Matrix films and enjoyed most of the franchise so this film was a nice little treat with some nice ideas. (Loved the holodisplays)

As for Neo's out of Matrix powers; all that was was that when he linked with the sentinel he linked with the whole network of machines hence being able to "feel" them.

He basically hacked them all to some degree.

Hey, leave Reloaded alone. Revolutions? Make fun of it all you like, but Reloaded was good. And Keanu wasn't awful either. But more on topic, how does one reconcile this with the other movies?

Excellent film. Better than the sequels and many of the Animatrix shorts. It sits comfortably as my second-favourite 2011 film so far.

Nope. I enjoyed it. Solid 3/5 movie.

Is the frame rate really that choppy, or is it just my internet connection?
That's not a pun! Are you even trying HankMan?


OT: I appreciate the effort but felt the trilogy lost momentum as it went along.

What the fuck is wrong with that guys fingers?! They look like toes (7:45)!
That's the whole 'disability' his character was based around, and his brother mentiones 'he' will not cure. It's a pretty rare birth defect I've been told.

Maybe this is a world in Matrix inside the matrix were the developer of this world gave himself some powers like flying at everything else...

really weird movie...but then again it is an amateur movie so they can go ballistic with it and don´t care about external opinions on the matter ^^

The thing with his brother trying to kill neo, I think he killed Kayd to stop him from killing neo, but then he realised what he had done and it w -Aww who am I kidding? that was pretty weird, fun though.
