After seeing Matrix 2, I was under the impression that Neo's reality was another Matrix level--a way of keeping those who "woke" from one Matrix level from finding a legitimate way to defeat the system.

In the latest Matrix trailer, I think my theory is confirmed. It shows Neo and Trinity in a flying shuttle in their reality facing thousands of robot drones ahead of them. Neo closes his eyes, put his hand out and destroys several hundred of them in one go with his powers! :Q ............This leads me to conclude that the reality level is another Matrix level OR that Neo has Jesus powers, which is rather stretch!

COMMENTS?.........

In the **Official** Matrix Reloaded thread from some time ago, a link was posted to an interview with one of the actors and they stated there was no Matrix within a Matrix.



If they were in the matrix within the matrix they would be unaware of its existence.

THE MATRIX HAS THEM!!!11ONEONE11!

I have watched the movie in theatre, watched DVDrip at home several times before this Tuesday. Love the Matrix, so I still bought DVD, but had no time to watch it again. :(

Well, that's not 100% true. The agent is CG, but the car is real.

What's really funny is that everyone was like "the car looks soooo fake I mean the bumper would never do that" when it was real.

Got it, I was surprised by the lack of extras. It comes with a second DVD, which has some neat things on it, but it seemed like the first Matrix DVD had better (and more) extra stuff. I'm guessing they'll be putting out another one sooner or later.

I'm hoping the 3rd movie will explain the 2nd one, which it should. Because the 2nd one just did not make any sense at all.

But I might have to get reloaded because I enjoyed the two action scenes in it.

i always maintained that that scene looked fake because of the agent. why are his shoulders so broad?

Because he's wearing a suit.

The agent is real, the car is real. Nothing in that scene is "animated".
The agent actor did his jump with wires infront of a blue screen. The car was rigged with implosive hood and other cool stuff.
They mixed the scenes.

That would make The Matrix too much like The 13th Floor.

The 4 DVD special edition I pre-bought from Suncoast should be out within a month's time. I hope I get a free ticket to see The Return of the King with it. :)

Yes, I've watched it on DVD 3 times now!

The video trasfer is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. I'd go as far to say its the best DVD transfer I've ever seen. This DVD alone makes my 50"Toshiba 16:9 hdtv worth the money, and the hours I spent calibrating it finally paid off.

WOW - I think they've finally pushed DVD to the limit with video quality.
