Last Thursday, Allan, Jill, John R, Mahyad, Sandy and I went to see Matrix Reloaded.

Firstly, the cinema. We went 'gold class', which meant we got nicer seats, free popcorn and a more intimate setting. Overall, good value for GBP 7.50. From now on, that's my preferred way to see films.

Now, the actual film... Well, I was certainly impressed by it - there was plenty of action and the story really kicked in, although mostly towards the end. The philosophy stuff was there, too, giving me plenty to think about. Somehow, though, it just didn't quite do it all for me. I heard a quote somewhere - it might actually have been on the Making Of... program that has been on TV nearly continually - that said parts 2 and 3 were really just one film, cut in half.

My plan is to see the film again in a week or so - there was so much to take in, that I want to read a bit and then return. I am also looking forward to the third film! Just in case you forgot to sit through all the credits at the end, you can see the full trailer here.
