I was watching a guy play Enter the Matrix and there were some very interesting developments, including a couple real cinematic scenes that weren't in the movie... for instance, Niobe also gets tested by Seraphim. Once my registration goes through (when the heck did gamespot start doing that?! ), I'll check out the walkthru and let you guys know what else is up.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I've played and solved the entire game playing as "Ghost" who is Niobe's asscoiate. Nothing earth shattering in the game save for some mention of Neo and Trinity's child being a saviour in the future. I'll see if I can find the actual dialogue.

!!!!!!!!!! 8O 8O 8O !!!!!!!!!! Tell! Tell! How'd she do? Do you know if it was before or after Neo? (It was just Seraph in the movie. Did they change it, or are you just thinking up a real serious origin for him? :) )

What other real cinematic scenes?

I have no idea what you mean. I'm not very game-savy.

Brinn, more info?? I don't have $50 to get it. :(

Time to revive this topic....

I just saw "Kill Bill" last weekend and aside from being a very entertaining movie (very violent...typical Tarantino) the experience was magnified by two outstanding previews. One for the Matrix Revolutions and one for Return of the King. I was so excited I almost shit my pants :oops: (Pardon the language)!

Anyway, in the preview they show the following scene...
Spoiler
They show a scene where Neo confronts what I suspect is the real world machine that was represented by the Architect in the Matrix world. Neo is explaining that the machines have lost control of Agent Smith and that Smith now threatens both the real world and the machine world. I believe he is proposing an alliance between the humans and the machines.

If this is true I can't wait to see Neo and the Machines fighting Smith.
The preview was spectacular. They showed the machines breaching Zion and the Mech-warrior-like armor fighting them as they flood in. WOW!!!! Great stuff...Can't wait.

I finally got a chance to watch Reloaded tonight (both of my kids now have the flu and are confined to bed :( , so it was a dvd night!). The action scenes were first rate...and I've never seen chocolate cake have quite that effect on anyone before. 8O :wink:
I had to keep stopping the dvd and explaining to my husband what was going on, though. I even had to show him bits of the Matrix and the Animatrix...but I think he finally "gets" it now -- and he even wants to go see part 3. :) (that, TOTK, and Master and Commander are ones we both want to see if we can find the time).
Love as thou wilt.

Glad to see you spreading the word, duchess! :)

I'm kinda worried about how long it might be before I get to see Revolutions! :( But maybe I'll manage it somehow in the next few days.

Good things in this movie: Kick ass highway scene, beautiful visuals, awesome fight by stairway, cool ghost twins, and Monica Belucci. Bad things: the rest.
