The movie scene was l33t (of course, anything spawned from Matrix or Matrix Reloaded is bound to be the best), It's about time they actually 'tried' to please the phreaks and tekkies out there. But another thing that was pretty nice, although kinda dissapointing, was the "Hacking" Menu on the "Enter the Matrix" game. That was the first thing I did when I played the game. I hadn't even jumped into the single player yet. Although very easy, it was one of the first attempts to please us. Lol, and no, I'm not giving away the solutions, puzzles, passwords, or symbols. You hafta do it yourself. It's really really easy. So just think. Later.

i remember when i watched the first Matrix movie, i saw neo was using one of those things that search the net for you and you can get paid to sleep basically, now you have to understand, that was the first time i saw a movie with anything close to hacking ni it, to me the hole movie was about hackign, theyd find a way into the matrix, go in, then tank would find another way for them out. i loved it.
another thing, just because im me and i usually make you people laugh anyway, you all know that i have a thing for pills and i enjoy a good time with them..well not as much as i used to because iv slowed down but anyway to the point.
When Morph asked neo which pill he would take, i kinda laughed to myself thinking if he was asking which gore would take, cause i was like "haha what if i take both, will i have a hallucination about the truth and wake up believing that instead?"
just had to toss that comment in, it made me laugh.

You guys shame me. I watched the movie and enjoyed it immensely but didn't catch the NMAP reference. I need to watch the movie again though, was she hacking from within the same intranet or supposedly from a remote location. If she was remote then the IP found would never have been detected since it is one of the reserved addresses and would not have been passed by intervening internet routers.
I only point this out to attempt to retrieve a little dignity from the fact that I missed the whole thing in the first place.
However, I like the speculation made earlier that with Neo affecting the sentinels there might be an underlying second matrix. However it might also be that he has developed an affinity for the signalling used by the machines and computers. They would need to have a way to communicate and monitor their sentinels so it could be this datastream that was picked up either by his interface or, do we dare go here, ESP and he affected things that way. However, I still like your theory of a matrix within a matrix. Just how deep does the rabbit hole go?
Let me just state that I really enjoyed the second movie. It is too early for me to compare or judge it vs. the first Matrix. I can say that like the second Star Wars I was just happy it wasn't a cheap knockoff exploiting the popularity of the original but was a good time in its own right. Whether it is better, equal, or less than the original does nothing to affect that in my opinion a series of good movies is always better than one good one. Godfather III was not as good and I and II (IMO) but it is part of a great series. Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Back to the Future are great examples of where the series is made better by a series of good movies and while one may stand out to one individual over another the whole is strengthened by each. Now we have two more classics being added to this list with the Lord of the Rings and the Matrix series (some may add the Terminator series here too and I would not be opposed to that inclusion). It's a good time to be a Sci Fi and movie Fan.
Finally I also stayed for the preview. All I can say is that the credits are so long it isn't worth it. It isn't a bad preview but you know you will see it a bunch before the third one is released. Like a good trailer it entices but does not give away the direction or plot of the third movie. Stay if you like but I was not impressed enough to recommend it.

Amen! I've never really considered myself much of a Sci Fi fan, but the Matrix (referring to it as if it is one entity) has made me come out of the closet on that matter.
Also, SodaMoca5, I'd like to commend you on a well-written post. I'm quite impressed! You don't make a living writing English papers, do you?

Thanks for the compliment Phirephreak. No I don't make a living doing papers for people although I must admit I did help write some for my wife when she took English at our local community college.
My job is a security officer for now, I do hope to teach and I am working towards my teaching certificate but I want to teach math and computers not English. After all I am the right age for a mid life crisis and therefore a radical career change (think I'll keep the wife though, she is gorgeous, sexy and earns a good salary as well :) ).

Hey PhirePhreak cuál está encima de hombre. No le conocÃ*a sabÃ*a otras idiomas y cosas. LOL!
Besides the above ^ all I can say is I think its about damned time peaple are actually throwing in a few real computer related topics into movies that involve computers. (IE) The net, Anti-trust, & now the Matrix reloaded. As for hackers and sword-fish.... yuck those guys got some really ugly and HUGE looking computers from the movie wargame and then they put over the top 3D-GUI in them and then in the end all they did was make a movie that had nothing to do with real computers. LMAO

Oh, so proud of your Spanish skills, I see.
Try on some Elvish:

*evil grin*
Yeah. Anyhoo, funny that you should mention Hackers, Swordfish, and The Matrix in one post... three of my movies. The Matrix cause it just rocks, Hackers cause it has a cool story.. and computers... *nod*, and Swordfish because John Travolta was perfect for his role, and it's just a cool movie.
And if anyone enjoys the action aspect of The Matrix (who doesn't?), I'm gonna recommend that you rent Equilibrium. Story similar to Fahrenheit 451, but action far surpassing The Matrix. Watch it!
