Bring back Hugo Weaving for a cameo, but instead of being Smith, in the Nu-Matrix, he's a used car salesman or an Ace Hardware store manager or something.

That mirror reflection doesn't look like Hugo Weaving in the slightest

Note that the “red pill” in Matrix 1 doesn’t actually do anything. It’s used for location detection, and all the dramatic mirror-goo stuff is a side effect. The blue pill is evidently just a tranquilizer.

Zesty posted:Are you trying to tell me it's more of a metaphor? Whaaaat? The film is, itself, metaphorical. As with the battery that Morpheus holds up, the pills are a sub-metaphor deployed by the characters within the metaphor to explain their interpretation of the metaphor. In other words, the drugs are Morpheus’ metaphor for ‘the act of contacting the hovercraft.’ So what is the hovercraft a metaphor for?

Sigh the look and feel of the trailer is more like a TV show than a movie. Especially compared to the original trilogy. Maybe this is the 8th matrix and the program responsible for the look was deleted.

Last night I watched Reloaded from start to finish for the first time in probably ten years. Honestly, the thing that stood out the most is how much they have increased the volume and bass of hand to hand fight foley work in the past 18 years. The punches are so quiet and soft sounding in that movie.

The "air whip" sfx behind thrown kicks and punches in particular, those have always stood out to me. I don't know how else to describe it, but all the sound embellishments for the martial arts on display in the movies felt appropriate for the sci-fi setting.

clean ayers act posted:My initial reaction to the trailer is it seems like its going down the route of The Force Awakens in basically being a nostalgic movie instead of something new. I think (and hope) that will not be the case but at the same time it would be poignant to highlight the real world parallels of this. Seeing that brief clip of the original Matrix being projected in the trailer suggests that they may touch on the topic at least somewhat. The timing coincides with another piece of media that I enjoy which recently concluded with the anticipated final movie which made a point of addressing this theme directly to the point of completely breaking the fourth wall in the final moments of the film. It doesn't always work but when a talented director attempts to tackle the subject and succeeds it is a rewarding experience, imo. Besides, it really does feel like we've been spinning tires for a notable amount of time now. I'd like to see more media tackle this in their own ways and I'm sure Lana has an inventive and interesting take on this herself, especially since the first Matrix had a significant cultural impact with the abundance of "Are we living in a simulation?!" conspiracy theories that arose in its wake. It would be entertaining to see the film play with that idea a little. Jay-V posted:saw some semi-interesting speculation on reddit This would be excellent, and a good take on what I was theorizing above given the real world reaction that people had to the movie.

I wouldn’t even be mad if they did a terrible thing like force awakens. Not that I would like it I just don’t care anymore. Are matrix fans that would get angery the same as Star Wars fans that got angery?

If this was the case perhaps this iteration of Neo and the reason he may be able to have a sort of vague perception he’s done this before is because he has some of Smith’s code in him after Smith absorbed him. It causes a difference.

Its pretty amazing where we are today compared to 20 years ago. The first movie came out during the end of the hyper corporate computer/.com boom era where things were more or less stable... people had money and 401ks even if they didn't like their jobs. Now, everyone is broke as poo poo living in a late stage neoliberal Zion-like hellscape largely controlled by space traveling oligarchs and such while willingly posting on the Matrix.

It's a Wachowski film, so my bet is it's going to be more bizarre than anything anyone in this thread can come up with, and it's either going to be very good, very bad, or very polarizing. You can say a lot of good things and a lot of bad things about their work, but they always, always swing for the fence. It might be bad (I'm cautiously optimistic based on the trailer) but I don't think it will be half-assed mediocrity. If it's bad, it will be bad in new, completely bizarre ways!

[edit] porfiria posted:Why does everything look like high budget TV show idgi. Nothing in that Resurrections trailer looked egregiously TV-esque to me. That said, the line between the cinematic aesthetic of film and TV has been blurred for several years now.
