I guess it's good but they didn't spend a lot of time on it nor money on extras which don't even look slightly the same, and the rest of them were also CG.
At least you get to see the worst of our "beautiful" Sydney


Man, these punks used My First Sony desktop pc's to create the fighting scenes!

They used the old white screen/spotlight/finger motion technique to capture the groovy elements!

Ever notice that Keanu is very gaseous during the shooting of certain scenes? Every time he flies away he uses his special methane-combustion-move to confuse his opponents and then quickly use the backdoor! It's proposterous to think anyone could ever fly without wings!

It wasn't that bad,
I agree Reloaded was utterly crap and Revisited will most probably be also but Matrix really wasn't bad. I mean obviously it can't have been that bad if the "wire fighting" part of it was copied so much. Also gasp---it had an origional...ish story line.

our eyes doesn't just have the ability to see things that we focus on, but our eyes also have the ability to see around things that u focus on.just try to move yer hands upwards and downwards slowly in front of yer face and realize that while your eyes looks to the front, u can see yer hands too while its up and while its down.
