The bank lobby scene and the helo scene have never been equaled in other movies.
The sound of the empty cartridges and the bass of the helo are awesome.

Show me another movie that compares.
Transgender analogy...fttt.

Exactly!

Sometimes a poem is just a poem without any hidden meaning. And if I don't see a hidden meaning that is there, but enjoy the flick, perfect!

Is "Top Gun" a pro-gay propaganda film too?

Wow some of you guys are harsh. Is it as good as the first movie? No, but the original is truly a high point for movies is so many ways. But it’s better than the second and third movies. I loved the concept of the matrix making the matrix a computer game in the new matrix story line. And for those who seem for some reason upset at the trans gender links. Please, fist can’t people get over their prejudices and please remember who the writer/directors were for the originals. I give the new one a 7 or 8 out of 10. A good solid reinterpretation of the original concept with a good fun move over the top. And both Reeves and Moss were brilliant in their roles again.

As a Rockwell/Boeing retiree, the new one is all about the F-18F to me, can't wait.

Movies having an outside context reference in our culture is nothing new. I believe it enhances your entertainment experience.

I'm still peeling back the layers of Space Odyssey 2001 and the 4 icons meanings as it relates to today's world.
We have got to go to Jupiter for icon #4, not Mars.

Yup. Kept waiting for it to get better.
After about an hour finally turned it off.

even the original Matrix movie lost a lot of glamor , it didn't age well.
it doesn't have the rewatchability that Once Upon a Time in the West does have.

2nd Matrix was maybe 70% worth,
3rd 40% they were already overthinking the storyline with the Machine City DEux Ex MAchine crap.. and this one goes in to overdrive with the nonenses some more.

They would have to pay me to sit through it.

Nothing to do with trans whatever, Its just a half assed plot twist to the entire Matrix universe , I just can't be bothered with all that rehashing the story line.
I stand by my initial rating : it's a steaming pile of dog chit

You got it all wrong, btw. 2001 is all about food.
