Anybody seen a better price than $39.95 for Matrix reloaded dvd, I rang The
Warehouse but they don't seem to have it yet, they discounted Lord of the
rings in it's 1st week release for $29 so am hoping they will do the same
for Matrix. It's weird with the lord of the rings dvd, you get the best
price if you buy it straight away when demand is the highest, it was the
same with the 1st lord of the rings dvd, you would normally expect to pay
the most while demand is highest but The Warehouse surprised me with this
move, it makes some sense though as they secure the sale of the dvd rather
than somewhere else if they offer it on special and when demand is the
highest this means a lot of sales, my local Warehouse sold out of the lotr
dvd very quickly.

Gameplanet did have it on pre-order for $29.95 but looks like theyve put the
price up now since its actually out... $36.99

Damn, missed out there then. Hmmm I wonder if I should wait, you never know
but normally discounts on dvd's are few and far between so probably not like
to get much better than $39.95 now which seems a lot for a non-special
edition dvd, the extra's look crap on this dvd, you are really only getting
the movie for this price, if it was an se with good extras then I would feel
better about the price, I had hoped this dvd would be released at $29.95.

It was a boring movie anyway, only good thing is the special effects...they
should sell for $10.

That sounds like major flamebait to me. Like to see you make a better movie

Some special effects were good but a lot were crap, there were many effects
that are better done with non-cgi techniques but it seems these days we just
get more and more cgi no matter how unreal it looks, it seems very ironic
that in many ways the ability of special effects to look realistic has gone
backwards in the last 10 years, I've seen movies from 20 years ago with
better special effects, cgi looks totally crap alongside good model work
but unfortunately cgi looks like it has taken over for good. Just so I am
not misunderstood, I think cgi is awesome when used to portray things that
cannot be betrayed better by other means, it is a great supplement to other
techniques but where it has gone awfully wrong is in it's use where it is
clearly not up to the task. I pine for the day's when you looked at
amazement when you looked a spacecraft etc.. on the movie screen that looked
as if they really existed and had just been filmed, there is absolutely no
suspension of belief with today's cgi effects. I guess today's teenagers
would be none the wiser though as they have grown up with these effects and
to them they are seeing better and better effects all the time as cgi gets
better, never realising that some special effects use to look real rather
than just an improved version of their computer game graphics.
Now look you have made me rant.

I tend to agree with him on that, I found it boring, but the third one is
meant to be better...

For a better movie on a smaller budget, try www.fanimatrix.com or similar...
kinda cool for a no-budget movie.

Dude.. its $7 bux..... if you want it, Get it

Yeah, saw that on TV1 news a while back but they didn't tell you where to
download it so I emailed them using their mail form on NZoom and I got a
reply to say it (the mailto) had bounced..... so much for the charter ....
and the fact that I had the spelling wrong (I though the news reader said
FanAmatrix) didn't help either when it came to google .... happened to get
the right spelling in the end and downloaded it. Never did hear back from
TV1 but then thats not suprising ....
