I am reviving this thread because i didnt want to make a new one
What would you have done with the sequels or what where you expecting/wanting before we seen anything from the sequels
Me personally i was really hoping it would keep the gritty grungy look from the first
I also was wanting for there to be lots of gltiches happening in the matrix because of The One now being out and about
Scenes similar to thes ones in the Beyond episode on the Animatrix
Expecting :
Just what Joel Silver ( and to a lesser extent John Gaeta) were boasting. I know that everyone involved is going to say "OMG MY MOVIE KICK ASS ! " but Joel Silver just went overboard. The guy is a great producer , he just needs to keep his mouth shut when being interviewed
I just wanted to see the stuff they were talking about being used to a greater detail.
For example
1 In the car chase there the sequence where the agent jumps and crushes the carhood . Although it was agood old fun sequence i had expected that they had more sequences like that. You know as the car of trinity swerves the agent(s) would jump from car to car and crushes them in order to get to them faster.
2 THe whole fire behaving like water and water like gas thing.
They actually did that . The sequence where neo blasts out of the exploding tower at the end of reloaded is called the flaming tsunami with the liquid flames. I think it was just something that was misunderstood by the reporter but they way gaeta was talking about it , i had expected to have similar sequences in revolutions with a failing matrix.
Ditto with the water behaving like gas. That's actually what they were doing with all the massive shockwaves in the superbrawl. They made the water behave like gas .
Wanting :
JUst some of those wacky rumors actually turning out to be true.
Going back to the car chase , i had read a rumor at AICN of a sequence i n the car chase where trinity and morpheus were escaping with the keymaker. As the agents fail to catch up to them , one agent jumps out of the copcar and then proceeds to jump from car to car and try to catch up to them.
Morpheus then battles the agent mid-air with his katana to try and slow him down.
Meanwhile the other agents just morph into the other car drivers and try to go all kamikaze by ramming trinity's car.
The fight between neo and the twins in revolutions.
A more DBZ-superhero esque superbrawl with thousands of smith's flying and duking it out with neo.
As for the sequels themselves.
I liked the idea of neo becoming some sort of Moses figure. There was also a rumor out there that neo would lead the rest of the people who escaped the zion attack and bring them to the surface.
The way i envisioned the sequels was actually the bulk of reloaded and the attack of zion as one movie.
So essentially reloaded would be a movie where neo would have to find the keymaker /meet the architect. Meanwhile zion would be attacked by the sentinels but thru some way neo would be able to stop the attack ( just like he did with the sentinels at the end of reloaded) , inside the matrix.
He would return to zion and take the survivors to the surface.
Revolutions would continue that and of course at the end would be the big fight between smith and neo.
Also while i liked the ending of Revolutions with everything turning out "well" , i hated the happy colorful sunshine .
I would preferred a more dark setting like this pic
