Okay... where do I start? That movie... was... SO EXPLETIVE GOOD!!!! I'm not giving away the whole plot or anything, but let's just get a few random thoughts out.
1. In the beginning, Neo's mind is in the matrix, but not in the matrix (weird, right?) so Trinity goes in to save him. Well, she and Morpheus, but who cares about him... (Neo is in a train station, when he tried to run on the track out of the station he went in a circle... *giggles*) ANYway, when Trinity and Morpheus and that asian guy who hangs around the Oracle get to French-baddy from the last movie, they've got all these guns pointed at him. And finally Trinity says "I don't have time for this" and kinda goes in attack-mode. When the dust clears, everyone else is kinda in the same spot, but she's got HER gun right at frenchy's forehead. "Let's make a new deal. You let Neo go, or we all die" "An interesting proposition...."
*laughs* I swear, if I were gay, or a guy, I would seriously want to fuck this woman. In the good sense. Yes, that's right, I said the F-word. IN A NON-GRATUITOUS FASHION! As I'm not into chicks, I'll settle for wanting to BE Trinity. *nodnodnod*
2. The big bad battle scene. It really goes for dramatic, lemme tell you. We start out with tons of guys in really cool battlethings like transformers... next you see of them all together, it's just three, back to back. And then one. You don't see the numbers dropping, just the result. Really made everything seem... more desparate, y'know? *laughs* Though the whole thing was ruined for me by the scene directly before the battle, which was stolen VERBATIM from a 40s era war movie...
(kid)I'm 18, sir!
(official guy) Should've said you were 16, I might've believed you.
(kid) Okay, I'm 16.
(guy) You have to be 18 to join up.
(kid) The machines don't care if I'm 16 or not, they'll kill me anyway.
(guy) Well, you'd better not mess up, or you'll find I have something in common with the machines.
(kid) No sir!
I kid thee not. STRAIGHT from WWII.
3. Strong female characters. Two of them, they were crawling all over the place during the battle while everyone sensible was in the big bad transformers. Instead of staying put, they go in tunnels and everything for a decent shot at the biggest machine, at one point actually hanging off a cliff. I was duly impressed.
4. The machine city... scary, sure... but weird too. Why do the machines NEED a city? Anyway, they seemed prepared for humans...
5. MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! FINAL SCENE TELLING!
Agent Smith. He went even more off the deep end, if that's even possible. Has a thing for torrential downpour, I'm thinking his big plan, after assimilating the entire matrix, was to take a bubble bath with his rubber duckies. Just a thought... *laughs* Anyway, his final scene, after he's seemingly defeated Neo he's just like "I've seen this before (in the Oracle, whom he's assimilated). You're lying there, and I'm standing... right about... here... And I say something. What do I say...? Oh right. 'Everything that has a beginning has an end'." And you can see him realize what he's just said. "That's not right!". Anyway, he assimilates neo, the machines realize their saviour (Neo) has been nearly defeated and jack him so full of energy that he defeats ALL the Agent Smiths. And lemme tell you, all of them standing around like that, it's like something from The Birds. Really. *shudders*
Details about the REST of my day will come in a separate post. You *must* see this movie. Or you will be assimilated. Resistance. Is. Futile.
Okay, okay, so it's the wrong reference, so sue me. What *else* would I say? Humans are weak? C'mon, guys, cut me some slack here!
