The Matrix Reloaded

[MickeyMoose15]

The movie is being shown on over 9,000 screens across the country so it is basically running continuously.

Watch the Animatrix to understand how the machines took over the world and understand more of The Matrix Reloaded. Get the soundtrack which features some previews on CD-ROM and also get 'Enter the Matrix' video game to get some side story plots.

A Massive Matrix Reloaded Opening!

Variety says Warner Bros. will release The Matrix Reloaded in 3,603 theaters with a record 8,517 prints on Thursday, May 15. The highly-anticipated sequel will play first Wednesday night in 2,750 theaters.

The count is the highest ever for an R-rated film and trails only the record 3,741-theater launch of 20th Century Fox's X2, which enters its third weekend with a print run just under 8,000. The "Matrix Reloaded" screen count outpaces even last December's then-record 8,515-print run for Warners' Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

The sequel is expected to sell out most evening showtimes, but the real question is whether action sequel's restricted rating will keep matinees from producing the highest-possible grosses. "If I had to bet, I'd say it will be packing them in all day," Warners domestic distribution president Dan Fellman said.

"Reloaded" is mimicking 20th Century Fox's Thursday-through-Sunday bow of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones last May. The second PG-13-rated prequel followed a $31.3 million Thursday with an $80 million first weekend. That four-day haul is exceeded in the record books only by Sony's $114.8 million opening of Spider-Man over a three-day frame last May.

Universal's Hannibal holds the current record for the best opening for an R-rated film with $58 million over its first three-day weekend in February, 2001.

Warner Bros. will also add some three dozen IMAX theaters to domestic and international playdates beginning June 6.

Fox's Ewan McGregor/Renee Zellweger starrer Down with Love also goes wide this weekend in about 2,000 theaters beginning Friday.

All right, people, remember, the rest of the world only gets it next week, so if you want to freely discuss it, be sure to post a HUGE warning first so we don't stumble upon any spoilers...



OR ELSE! :fork: :fork: :fork:

Its not a spoiler..just a warning..

Those who are going to see it..keep in mind its a lot less "geeky" than the first one..it has a whole "underground tribe" vibe to it..which kinda bugs me. A bit preachy at points..especailyl from Moses..er..Morpheus....

My feelings exactly, that's what I felt from the trailers and the recent reviews... And kinda what I wanted to say with my big post earlier, only you phrased it better! :lol: :hammer:

I heard from about 3 different critics that this movie has some of the best special effects/fight/action scenes to date...but the plot...well....

(gets too much into character development and less on "the matrix)

(One critic said it should've been called "Neo and Friends" instead of Matrix ReLoaded)

(keeps fingers crossed that it's up to par with the original)

That's what I read at IMDB, lots of action, than lots of talking, than lots of action... They never achieve balance...

 

[NowInc]

the "neo and friends" thing is probobly the best description...

There is a LOT of talking in this movie which does tend to drag on from time to time..and the worst part is..while they are talking..there is nothing cool to look at!

I also kinda feel the special effects..although VERY impressive..seem rushed in a few scenes..they spent a LOT of time on agent smith..but NEO!? the main character has the worst CG. They also tend to overuse the "slice of life" effect that made the first movie so popular...gets kiiiiiiind of annoying....

When you all start seeing it..we can start pointing out the MANY inconsistancies that I have found.....

 

[WDWFREAK53]

k Dan...since you've seen it...

rate it... 1-10 (10 being the best)

(I mean really...you could give it a "0" and I still don't think it would stop all of us from going hehe)

That's true. If anything, the Wachowskis deserve credit for the curiosity level they attained!

I'm in total accordance with you right now. I saw the 10:00 Sneak Preview last night and must say the movie did drag on. A lot of talking and talking and talking and talking. But long fight scenes make up for this.

Also, the CG Neo was pretty obvious. Bad CG, bad! Must say that the multiple Agent Smiths are very impressive though. I'll even go as far as to say Agent Smith makes this movie.

New characters (love the French guy), great fighting, nice plot-twists. This movie isn't as good as X2, but I must say it's close. I'd give it an 8!

That's the kind of review I wanted to see for this movie: you said everything I coul know about it without ruining plot points. Thanks! :wave:




P.S.: I sincerely believe that, better than X2, only The Amazing Spider-Man next year! :lol:

 

[NowInc]

STRONG 7...only cuz of a weak storyline....

..i think a LOT of matrix fans will be disapointed..it doesnt even FEEL like the first movie...
