Everything I just saw has so completely knocked me on my ass, I won&#8217;t even try to give you some sort of review. I can only suggest that you go see <a href=\"http:\/\/whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com\/\">this movie.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To try and give you an idea: I was so completely gripped, so completely engaged in the movie, I could not move for the last hour and a half. I sat, mouth agape, goosebumps all over, arms limp.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe one or two observations: (I won&#8217;t give anything away)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I had purposely avoided all media related to the movie prior to seeing it. However I had gathered a few things based on the one trailer I saw, and one story about the technology.<\/li>\n<li>It went far beyond what I had guessed was going to happen.<\/li>\n<li>The main action scene that has been hyped is, in my opinion, probably the greatest special effect acheivements in a movie, ever.<\/li>\n<li>I am so completely dissapointed and dissolutioned with Star Wars now it&#8217;s not even funny. (I may even consider selling my Darth Vader, okay maybe not)<\/li>\n<li>Seriously, first the Lord of the Rings, and now this? My new rankings:\n<ol>\n<li>The Matrix<\/li>\n<li>Lord of the Rings<\/li>\n<li>Star Wars<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>The soundtrack, once again, is awesome.<\/li>\n<li>If there was ever a sci-fi movie that was not a sci-fi movie (as I was trying to explain to a co-worker yesterday) this is it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s all I can give right now. I&#8217;m going to see it again soon. Anybody want to go?<\/p>\n<p>Some people from college will remember this, but when the original Matrix came out, I saw it right away (almost by accident) and then proceeded to see it about 8-10 times in the theatre as I went along with different groups of friends. I could definately see that happening again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve sat here for a few minutes, staring at the screen, trying to come up with something coherent, intelligent, adhering to the rules of the english language, anything. and I&#8217;m having trouble doing that.
