Neo: This Ends Tonight
Yep it sure did... o.0'
Neo: What happens if I fail?
The Oracle: Then Zion will fall.
Watched Matrix Revolutions today...although I liked e first 2 due to the suspense and hype created, this one left a sour taste in me, as the ending was sorta predictable (as in, the very straight-to-the-point type of ending...not tt we ppl who are fascinated by it thought abt...)
Then again, few expected a normal ending...well, I was more for the 'matrix within a matrix' sorta ending...would be cool and superb if they could pull that off!
So abt the movie...
Last we left Reloaded, Nebuchadnezzar was shot down, Neo stopped like 4 Sentinels by himself (he has in-built EMP it seems) and is left in a coma after that. Neo's body is in the real world, but he wakes up in the world between the Matrix and the Real World, which is governed by the Trainmaster. It is this world, which allows safe passage of the programs to go from one side of the Matrix to the other side --> Into the matrix from the machines 'real world' that is.
So Morpheus and Trinity decides to go back into the Matrix after receiving a call from Seraph, and meet the Oracle, who tells them to follow Seraph to find Neo. They hunt down the Trainmaster, who gives them the slip in the subways (tt'z y he's E Trainmaster). They decide to look up the Merovingian, and a cool gun battle ensues :) After striking a deal with him and getting Neo back, we come back to the real world, where Agent Smith, who had jacked himself into Bane (who's from the real world) was found unconscious on the Mjolnir (but pronounced as Hammer!?).
Searching the tunnels for signs of Niobe and her crew, they eventually stumble upon the Logos, which was downed due to an EMP launched by Bane.
Bane/Smith wakes up and kills one of the crew members and gets on the Logos, which is piloted by Trinity and Neo, who are going to Machine City above ground. On the other hand, the rest of the crew take the Mjolnir to rush back to Zion to tell them of the impending crisis: that the machines are drilling through.
Bane/Smith attacks Trinity and goes one-on-one with Neo, blinding him with electricity. However, that enables Neo to 'see' even more clearly! He's able to see him not as a person, but as an entity with fire burning in an outline reminiscient of Agent Smith in the Matrix. He kills him, saves Trinity and they get on with their journey on the Logos (definitely faster than the Mjolnir...lol) BTW, they have zilch ammo...o.0'
Mjolnir, on the other hand, is rushing to Zion, and skimming the surface of the main tunnels in an attempt to get to the maintenance tunnel to get back to Zion. However, the plan fails when the ship hits some metal, and well, the Sentinels are onto them in a jiffy. I guess close to 1K Sentinels...anyway, that's a lot...lol. Niobe is the pilot and steers the ship extremely well, well, not as good as the Logos which she piloted, due to the fact that Mjolnir is much bigger and slower than Logos. The rest of the crew man the stations while Niobe and Morpheus do the steering. The fight is incredible, and Niobe manages to ward most of the Sentinels off, keep the ship intact till Zion, and kill the remaining ones which followed with an EMP blast that knocked them and those attacking Zion (plus all friendly units too)
At Zion, the war has begun, all APUs (Armoured Personnel Units) were launched plus half the infantry. The APUs were undoubtedly the most awesome I've ever seen. Cool graphics, plus if there were such a thing built...wowz.
*The APU (Armoured Personnel Unit) is a human-piloted offensive/defensive mobile platform. It is anthropomorphic with bipedal locomotion and two independent 30mm belt-feed guns. (Source: The Matrix: Revolutions)*
Definitely cool. It is controlled by the actions of the user, and has hands to hold the guns, which were stowed at the back when not in use. It was powerful, but still not as fast as the Sentinels were concerned (com'on Sentinels fly...these guys just stay rooted at one spot and shoot 360 degrees..lol)
As the battle unfolds, more and more of the APUs start taking hits and ammo is being used up. So there were reloading personnel whose jobs were to ensure that these APUs are reloaded. In one part, all the Sentinels come together in a huge mass and attack the last standing APU (driven by Capt Mifune..i think? or is it Roland?) and despite him shooting at them in double quick time, he was scarred left, right, up, down and center by the Sentinels' claws, and died due to the severe injuries. Kid, who was at the back of that APU, decides to mount the APU when he hears of the Mjolnir returning via Gate 3, which was near to him. He pilots it and shoots the Sentinels guarding that area. A Sentinel which jumps onto the APU and attempts to kill him, but is subdued by an EMP laser blast by Zee. He then opens Gate 3 for Mjolnir to get through (with 2 mins remaining) by firing at the chains.
