The matrix
Among the dvd's I picked up yester I included the third episode
of the Matrix Trilogy;
what a piece of crap. It was nothing like the first one. I saw the second
movie in the theater and remember being really disappointed. I figured they
must have just slipped up doing the second one but the third movie is even worse.
I can't believe I spent ten bucks on the dvd. There's no real plot, it's just
another typical hack and slash movie: lots of special effects, lots of robots,
lots of bullets and lots of one dimensional characters. In fact, this movie
was worse than a typical hack and slash because the battle scenes didn't
even have any motivation. In the movie, the sentinels, there were millions
of them, were attacking zion but they didn't seem to have any strategy to their
attack. If they wanted to they could have taken the city out in seconds.
Instead, they just swarmed conveniently overhead so the zionites could blast
them away with their big robots. There are so many flaws with the movie that
I could go on forever enumerating them. Like, if they could make these big
robot suits, why didn't they bother putting some armor in front of the suits
so that the guys driving them didn't get blasted by their own shell casings.
Whatever.
