Huh. Nevertheless, I haven't been so entertained by a movie since the heyday of ST:TNG. Have they even released The Matrix Reloaded in the UK yet? The thing that struck me about the Oracle is that when she says Neo has *already* made a choice, perhaps she meant it *literally*. Since he's connected to the Matrix, of course she can read all his responses/reactions directly and before even he is consciously aware of them. Since she also knows that he's been having nightmares (in the "real" world), perhaps Dre is right when he says the "real" world is in fact still within the matrix -- there is also the other hint with the spoon. Then again, there is the theory that Neo himself (or Morpheus or Trinity) is a computer program and that all this is just an experiment in AI. But that's probably too far out. I also thought it was interesting that Smith's host was basically unharmed by the sentinels. I wonder what they had to do to cover the fact that Gloria Foster died before she recorded all her scenes? If anything, there's some darn good acting in this movie. Cheers, Navin.
