Matrix Revolutions and Eva...
Drinian
Did anyone else get the vibe that the Wachowski brothers were big
Evangelion fans out of watching Matrix Revolutions? My friend and I seem
to think so (not to mention Dragonball Z).
And what was your opinion of Revolutions? I thought it conflated several
religions into a mess while simultaneously attempting to become a 'Star
Wars' - sized Hollywood epic. Not to mention some terrible, terrible
dialogue from everyone except Smith. At the same time, the ending was
fairly unexpected and I was somewhat happy with it (if not so much the
deonument).

Less Eva than anime in general was the feeling I got. Strong anime
influences on
several scenes.

I just saw it today, it was Ok. I expected a bit better plot after the 1st
two films.
Once again, strong anime influnce with the semi-spirtual imagery. I don't
think it was that the dialogue was bad as that they insisted on using every
movie cliche
to the hilt making the dialogue predictable.
Still, very spectacular.
