any matrix fans out there that are not viewing trailers/photos of matrix:revolutions?

[theNEOone]

i had a problem w/ reloaded, where i'd watch the trailer almost 5 times a day on average. it definitely dulled the effect of the movie and probably was a big reason why i wasn't impressed the first time i saw the movie. so this time, i've stayed out of any "matrix: revolutions sneak-peak" articles and i've refrained from watching any trailers or previews. it's been tough, but i've only got 4 more days of waiting.

Did not download trailers for Matrix revolutions and LOTR:ROTK. the only chance of me seeing them was when I watched the rundown the other night.

For movies like this where they know people are going to see it no matter what, they really shouldn't put too much stuffs into the trailers. spoiled the 2nd matrix for me.

i onlywatch trailers and nothing else. seeing too much of a movie before hand just rips yourself off.

Have not watch anything but the actual movies. Can't wait until I get to see Revolutions. I've watched the original at least 50 times and find something new on each viewing. The Reloaded version is almost as capturing as I find something new every time I watch it. I haven't actually been to a theater in 13 years...but I will go to this one!

Man, same here; I've watched the first one over and over and learned something new every time. The second one is just complex and after the third one, I think everyone will be able to see the big picture.

i'm not watching trailers for matrix or LOTR, for the same reason that i refuse to listen a new CD by a band that has a rep for good production until i get it home and can listen to it from start to finish on my home stereo. you want to get that full experience the very first time and not have it dulled.

 

[Mookow]

I am not going to watch any of them. I want to be surprised...

Remember the first Matrix when Tank is talking to Morpheus while Neo is downloading all of the info for his training. And Tank says, 10 hours straight... he's a machine.

BTW, your friend is wrong. The only way the humans can win the war is if Neo is human... he needs to be human, otherwise he cannot have free will. At most, he's human but made by the machines... Sorta like Jesus is human but not. Also recall first movie with the White Rabbit scene, when the guy comes to his place to get that illegal CD, and when Neo gives it to him he says, thanks man..you're my savior, my own personal Jesus Christ.

Only a complete asshat would come into a thread about people avoiding the trailers so that the movie will be a surprise and post spoilers.

Even if its not true.

The only thing I've seen so far is the preview thing that was playing at the end of the Reloaded credits in the cinema. Saving myself for Nov. 5th -- gonna see Revolutions at an IMAX theatre.

EDIT: Fvck you, AznMaverick.

I hate you! I have 3 Imax's near me and not one is showing Revolutions opening night... 2 in D.C. and 1 in Baltimore, MD.

Yea... I probably shouldn't have watched the trailers either. I remember seeing a few previews of the first Matrix on TV, and I was like "Awesome! Have to see that!". But when I saw the movie in the theatre, I had absolutely no clue what the movie was going to be about. Even up to the point where he takes the pill, and then he wakes up and is disconnected, I had no idea that was going to happen. Every second of the movie was new to me and very cool.

And at the time, the slow time effects they used was never done before, which made it even better. And the soundtrack was awesome.

With Matrix II, I saw too many trailers, and I already knew Neo's character and the whole point of the movie, and combine that with a lousy soundtrack and the obvious cgi effects they used in place of the slow-time - in fact when they used it, it was out of place, it was forced - and then the abrupt anticlimatic ending...

Also they seemed to skip a lot of what made the first Matrix so great. Between scenes, they would go into a transition of traveling through the green matrix like conduits, it was a cool effect, but in 2 they didn't do that. In 2 it was like "okay next scene, done, next scene, hurry to the next scene, more fighting, done, next seen, oops to be concluded"

Definitely not viewing anything that has to do with Revolutions (or Return of the King, for that matter.)

I'm not even going to read your thread, due to the risk of spoilers.

I refuse to get caught up in the hype and expectations. It only reduces people's enjoyment of the movie.

Well I have zero near me! Me and four friends are driving 2 hrs. to a city in the north that has one. It'll be worth it; they have sushi restaurants there.
