This morning I attended the 8am premiere of The Matrix Revolutions at Indianola's Paramount theatre. While I will resist heartily going to work at 8am, I will get up early to see a movie. Plus I figured the timing was good to not have to deal with school kids and crowds. Of course, crowds are rarely a problem at the Indianola theatre, where opening night of movies that sell out 10 miles away can have a quarter of the theatre empty in I-town. So what did I think? Without being too spoilerish, I enjoyed the movie and loved some of the intense action sequences. I need a little more time to process it overall to get a feel for how much I liked it or the ending, but I can say that I found it satisfying. While not answering all the questions one might have about The Matrix, its history, components and denizens, it still had a good conclusion for the series and didn't take it quite where I expected. |
