Pretty great. The beginning was a little confusing because where are we? It's like a repeat of the beginning of the original, but it's also all slightly different. It all becomes clear in short order. There are all the essential spectacular elements, king-fu fights, gun fights, and a very spectacular motorcycle chase with Trinity driving. There is also the continuing love story between Neo and Trinity. There are also some funny bits. I don't remember any of that in the first three movies. The dialog is much the same as in the first three movies - curt, profound sounding statements, but don't try to make sense of them, they are just stuffing to make the scene complete.

| Bullet Time |
I was going to say something about how rogue programs could continue to operate in the ginormous computer system that contains The Matrix, but we are experiencing a smaller version of this everyday with the virus programs that are constantly attacking our everyday computers, so we basically got the same thing. Bullet Time can be done simply by access the supervising program's schedule and letting your character's program run more frequently.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Normally a character program would not be able to access that schedule, but if you are sneaky and are willing to peek behind the curtain, well, all things become possible.

| The Twins |
The Wachowski brothers/sisters, responsible for the first three Matrix movies are working independently now, this movie was done by Lana (Larry). Mostly I don't want to hear about your transexual perversions, but dang, these guys/gals/people sure make some fantastic movies. I can't help but think of the Frenchman's twin albino wraith thugs as the on screen versions of The Wachowskis.
We saw this film at Movies on TV on Christmas Eve. I think there were ten people in the theater, and our group was half of them. Also on HBO.
