Recent Trailer releases MATRIX - RotK

Crash · 10-04-2003, 03:24 AM

So who here has seen the new return of the king trailer? Freaking awesome, go check it out.

Who else has seen the new Matrix trailer. Cool also, but not AS cool as ROTK.

Thoughts on Matrix Trailer:

Obviouly they decided against staying away from the overly used CGI with the mechs. That is the only gripe by me, is the mech thing is really kinda stupid. Especially when they all raise up their little mech arms. Just before the end of the trailer you see a ship flying with a blue sky and a moon. So the humans do beat the machines eh? When Neo and Smith are flying through the air hugging each other, the building behind em is filled with hundreds of Smiths, and I dig the idea of neo taking aout 50 different sentinals with one wave of the hand, jedi style. ONe last thing, what is the deal with the Zordon (read early power rangers) looking machine that talks to neo. cause it looks super gay...we'll have to wait and see.

Return of the king trailer:

Completely loved it. Super long, great footage, especially showing the armies. Looks huge. There are said to be more than 10 times the amount of enemy soldiers in this battle as in the last movie. Shelob is great from what was shown, and the dragons kick @$$. I personally will be trying to watch all three movies in the theater that day.

A link would be nice.

Both trailers were awesome. But I'm more excited for RotK, skipping school and seeing it opening night.

*Spoilers for RotK*

I can't friggin wait to see Sam kick Shelob's ass. That was an awesome part of the Two Towers book. Also, the army battles are so god damn massive in this movie. From what I remember, theres the battle at Minas Tirith, the Black Gate, and I think one other place. We're talking huge numbers here. Minas Tirith will have over 100,000 Urukai, and the battle at the black gates, oh baby, that is going to absolutely own!

*spoilers end*

Dude, RotK looks like it is going to be so tight. The trailer looks so awesome and I can't wait to see the huge battles between man and the forces of evil.

Not to mention the awesome drama between Frodo and Sam over the ring and Smeagol. I can't wait for Shelob and that little sequence.

Matrix is also going to be uber cool. I think that Neo talking to the machine thing is him allying with the machines to defeat Agent Smith, but who knows.

I can't wait for wintertime. There's going to be major moviegoing on my part.

The only way the Matrix makes sense is that there's a Matrix within the Matrix. Neo shouldn't be able to manipulate things in the "real world". And Smith shouldn't be able to escape. The only other explanation is that Neo is a machine.

either that or its all a dream

and neo will end up waking up and ending the movie like that....but that better not happen for the sake of the brothers

im downloading the matrix trailer now, and as for RotK

the trailer was sick...i also read on the website that on teusday before the release some theatres across the US, and maybe canada, but it didnt say anything about canada, will be shoing the extended version of The Fellowship, then after that the extended version of The Two Towers, and then the return of the king, so t's one big ass screening, im guessing there will be breaks in between movies

if it's showing in canada, im goin to go see it like that

hehe...you do realize that EACH movie is 3 hrs min....all together it would take about 10 hrs to watch the entire trilogy....

...i'd do it

DarkMaster · 10-05-2003, 02:02 PM

It'll be the extended edition of each movie, meaning 4 hours each, and in total it would be 12 hours long. And from what I heard, there's no breaks.

But I'm still interested in it though, if there were breaks, I'd skip school and go see all three together (I'm guessing it'll be something like 9am-9pm).

Oh, that reminds me, they've been saying that the regular version of RotK will be about 3 hours and 45 minutes. So the extended version should be around 5 hours long (holy sh*t). Which isn't exactly surprising considering that there is a TON of sh*t left in the story (the RotK book is, if I remember correctly, the longest of the three books, and the ending of the Two Towers book will be the beginning of RotK movie, so prepare for a long ass movie).

Yes, there is a "Matrix in the Matrix" as I see it... and the computers have nill power in the true real world, perhaps.

As the architect said, there were a few rejected forms of the matrix: A perfect form, which was rejected by the majority... and an "accurate" form, which was only rejected by a a small fraction of the population. Then, he implied, they made a flawless matrix which nobody could escape. That is, a matrix that has a false sense of freedom attached.

Yes, or something like that...
