Hyperbole Reloaded:
I saw the new Matrix movie last night and all I have to say is daymn! When does the next one come out. Jess wasn't so impressed, she enjoyed X2 better ( I totally disagree, X2 is like junk food compared to the caviar of the Matrix). She basically thought that a few points in the movie stretched her disbelief too much (I won't ruin it, but for those of you who've seen it it has to do with the heart) and she lost intrest. I understand, I'm a bit conflicted myself, I liked it but it just wasn't what I was expecting. I just want to see the whole damn thing over again, there are a lot of scenes that are just pure exposition, and I didn't get all the details I'm sure. One cool thing I will talk about is how awesome it is that Ghosts and Zombies and Vampires are the results of corrupted programs creating corrupted files. The movie also brought up some interesting concepts about just how imperfect and human-like the machines really are.
Aside from all the philosophy the movie is visually stunning, and the special effects were just damn crazy.
