"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I can't even get QT to run that ultra sized one on my computer properly.  Starts skipping frames and stuff.  Sweet resolution tho...I love these guys for making it available.  Sure cater to the low end, but if you can do it....make the high res available.  People will download it.

Great trailer...I will be there to see that movie :)

Just saw the ultra trailer... all I have to say is - if your computer can hack it, get it. You won't be disappointed.

These sum it up...

Oh, god, this is awful. Recycle every last ****ing thing that anyone liked about the first movie, make more of it (in fact, I'm almost positive I saw that stopping-a-whole-lot-of-bullets thing from a prev of the original one or summat, when it was still in production, and they just cut it and put it in this one), make a lame "the agents are ghost-like/they can copy themselves" trick and beat it to death, and throw in a scene ripped straight out of Xiao Xiao with one guy in black beating the crap out of two dozen other guys in black in a physically improbable way with a stick. Fan-****ing-tastic. What, did they decide that rather than write an original film synopsis they'd just rip off the first piece of crappy Matrix fan fiction they saw?

And to think, I was pretty excited about this movie before I saw that...:sigh:

Sad thing is, I agree with you Stryke.
The Matrix is a one-trick-pony.

Doesn't mean I'm not going to see it though.

[edit] for some reason, I don't get sound with any of the trailers.

it was interesting Square Studios did some work on the matrix as well - "last flight of the Osiris" or something, all i could find was a short clip though.  Anyone know any more about this?

It is a short animated movie that was displayed with the movie Dreamcatcher. I hear it'll be made available for free soon, and of course it'll be on the Animatrix DVD.

actually no, it won't be available for free on the net ( availables episodes are the two "the second renaissance" parts, "a detective story". and... don't remember the name. the 4 first out of 9 episodes if I'm not mistaken )  it will be shown as first part of Dreamcatcher tho. "The last flight of the Osiris" is a CGI movie, all the others are anime.

You know....based on the original Matrix trailer you would think that all of those elements are what the entire movie was about.  When I actually was convinced to go see what I thought would be a flat out visual feast with no storyline I discovered all of the depth and detail that was in the story....not to mention the heavy use of Baudrillard among other theorists on the nature of reality.

Matrix did well because it was good on so many levels....intellectual for those who wanted the depth and action packed for those who love to see action on the screen.  For someone like me who loves the depth of the story as much as the explosions....it was a perfect fit.

You cannot possibly hope to get that kind of detail into a movie trailer....you can show off your fantastic special effects.  Judge the movie...not a minute long trailer that contains an inperceptably small amount of the total product.

actually the matrix was always going to be a three parter.

I'm actually quite impressed by the trailer, it actually got me excited - which is more than i can say about LOTR or practically anything else

Because of that comment, I decided to download the ultra version to play it on my laptop and PC.
Laptop played it fine, without skipping or stuttering. But on PC, the trailer stuttered a little. :(

Oh well, sweet trailer in any case. :nod:
