I saw the movie last night and it was undoubtedly the best Action movie ive seen this year, maybe in the past 2 years second only to the first Matrix. I am extremely picky when it comes to films but WOW this movie did a superb job. i lked it more than T2.
I dunno… I saw the trailer… and I’ve gotta say… I thought it looked kinda tacky… I’ll probably end up going to see it anyway - I’ll let you know what I think 
It was as good as T2? Wow i’m actualy alot more interested to go see it now.
Now, see…
I didn’t think that Matrix 1 was that good of a movie. I mean the plot was thin, I thought, and it was mostly special effects (which were the best yet, for a non-realistic movie), that have been so over used since, that I don’t want to see the second one…
Every movie made anymore has the “matrix effects” in their fight scenes… way overdone.
I personally liked “The Thirteenth Floor” better. I thought the plot was better, and it didn’t rely on special effects to carry off the story.
T2 was a good movie, but T1 was an awesome movie. I guess I am less impressed by special effects than by good writing and direction…

The matrix effects part, matrix wasn’t the first movie to use these types av special effects, there is one movie, i do not know the name of it but my friend said he’d seen it and it was made before the first matrix.
Wait wait wait… It is out already? It doesn’t come out in France for another month and a half 
Concerning 13th floor, the scenario is OK, but there isn’t anything fabulous either. In the same “vein” of movies, I like eXistenZ better 
maybe true, but Matrix made them so popular that we can’t have a fight scene in a movie that doesn’t use that multi-camera effect.
that was my only point.

I like eXistenZ as well. It was just a bit dark for me… But it was very well done for this “vein” of movies I agree. It would be a tough toss up between the 2 for me…

omg… eXistenZ has to be one of the worst films ever… it was really really terrible. god… ugh… I feel queasy just thinking about it
Why?
Oups, I forgot the trout.
Why? :trout:
it was just… convoluted… overly and unecessarily confusing… the script was awful, the acting wasn’t much better and the whole “not quite sure if you’re still in the game/dream” only for them to wake up… how many times is it? … it’s over-used and unoriginal…
in a GCSE (high school level - 15/16 yr olds) textbook they tell you: when writing a story, the golden rule is: NEVER, under ANY circumstance have the main characters wake up and reliase everything was a dream… ok so that’s not exactly how it happens in eXistenZ, the the principle is there… it’s… terrible
That book is a bit off the mark. One of the most watched Television episodes was “Dallas” when Patrick Duffy came back to life (from a dream).
It has been used many times, but not in this way. It was supposed to be confusing. The game was confusing.
I hate it when text books say NEVER (how many times in life have you been able to say “never” and actually make it happen)… The books are, after all, seldom written by anyone with a hit story… Usually by some teacher who hasn’t had any story published in the first place.
There weren’t lots of explosions, or pretty girls getting into martial arts fights… if that is what you were going for…

I guess that the what I liked about this movie is that they’re not exactly dreaming, they’re playing a game, so they chose what’s happening to them. It’s not your average “Phwew, it was only a dream, everything is going to be OK” story, because if this is, then so are quite a few Sci-fi movies.
… it’s over-used and unoriginal…
Can you give examples please? I’m interested
Edwin, sorry for hacking your thread :sigh:
Well i just got back from watchin this great @zz movie and i personally think it blows away every movie sequel out there so far this year, this is how movie sequels should be made, blows matrix reloaded away by a mile, IMHO its the best movie of the summer if not of the year (so far) its very action packed and the story is more than i expected. In the end this movie exceeded my expectations even though it wasnt directed by James Cameron this movie is truly awesome go see it, its worth it :beam:
