OMG.......

I am so gonna tribute today's entry on the movie I watched last night.

OMG........

It was so f***ing unbelievable. I was blown away when I watched The Matrix. But after watching The Matrix Reloaded.......

Oh, wow...!

I love this movie so damn much !!!!
I even overlooked the instances when there were way too much talking. During any of the talking scenes, I was like...blah...blah...fight now....blah...blah...
The action sequences..... OMG............ They were so f***ing amazing....! I guess the talking scenes were to let the audience appreciate the action scenes. Dirty trick but it worked.

And it's true. This movie focussed more on the romance between Neo and Trinity. There were times when you think they just can't get enough of each other. And yes, the love scene.... I think it was beautifully done except for the fact there were way too many snippets to it. Unfair but in order to allow a PG rating, certain scenes have to go under the scissors. Personally, I'd prefer if they had stuck the NC-16 rating.
You know, there were times when I thought the reason Trin and Neo have sex a lot more (not as much as other films but when you compare to the first one where everything was chaste and there weren't more than one lingering look, this installment sees them as sex machines, who can't get enough of each other) in this movie is because they are trying to get pregnant. Can you imagine the genes that will be passed on to their kid ???

Anyway, maybe that wasn't the clear cut intention of the directors. Maybe it's just to release pent up sexual energy that had been supressed for years when they were hooked up on The Matrix. And also to ease the tension in between going in and out of the virtual world. Still I get that sneaky feeling that they are trying to populate the world (at least Zion). There are some scenes which will appeal to those romantic at heart (aside from the kissing and the love scenes). There is the ultimate sacrifice for the man you love. And then there is the agony of losing someone you love. It all plays out nicely. So this movie is definitely not a purely sci-fi, action movie. It has the elements of other genres.

The bit on flying Neo was awesome. More so towards the end when it became a do or die mission for him. And they throw up a few surprising nuggets on how the whole series would end. As everyone know, The Matrix story is a complicated affair. What with the 3 movies plot and The Animatrix plus Enter The Matrix. Full picture of the convoluted storyline will only be comprehended once you've seen or played the rest of the franchise. I am two fifths down. And anticipating the rest to understand the world of The Matrix.

After the teasing trailer of The Matrix Revolutions, I am starting a saving fund. The fund towards getting the XBox gaming machine, Enter The Matrix game, the DVDs for The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions and The Animatrix. Then I would really need to take the red pill.
