Half a movie .. the characters are just marking time til the next One.

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2003)

Well I feel like I got let out for intermission and then they canceled the second half of the movie.
Yes ok the car chase was cool and yes the neo vs the smiths was cool,,, but where was the substance of the first movie the Matrix??? Where was the resolution of, well, anything? [At least 'The Two Towers' did stuff rather than mark time waiting for the King to come back.]
So what was on offer???
ok possible spoilers here .....
In the last moments of the film we got thrown some tidbits. There were some pretty big questions raised, which I guess we are suppose to ponder about until the next movie comes out.
ie. If the real world and Zion is actually another level of the matrix just where is the real real world?
Is Neo (aka Alice in wonderland) merely dreaming in front of his computer?
Was the Architect misleading Neo about which door (choice) was which? We all remember how the Oracle did that in the Matrix. Hmmm it seems they have about the right number of people (males & females) to found the next version of Zion and the matrix again ... interesting.
AND just how could they kill the spoon kid ... (ok you got me that wasn't really a question, but maybe it was a hint that all it not as it seems.)
Honestly I liked the film, and yes I will get this and the Animatrix on dvd, but I truth is I probably should have just waited until November to see it.
