I'm wondering about that too! I know that all the online review sites don't rate it (AICN, Rotten Tomatoes) but what do they know?

It was on two screens at the Warner Village I went to, and it was sold out at every performance.

I've been reading some online comments and there are a few things that I missed:

1/ What is the significance, if any, of the numbers -- they have 314 seconds before the security comes back on (that's pi).

Neo must pick 16 females and 7 males, a total of 23 people to continue the Matrix.

2/ When he first enters the Architects office the bank of screens is the same as the one that fades into the interrogation room scene in the first film, just before he has the bug put in.

The screens later show pictures from earlier scenes, and some of a young boy. Imdb lists actors as Neo at various earlier ages. These shots are the only ones they could have appeared in.

This all adds up to the Architect having followed Neo's progress from a very early age.

3/ Re: whether Zion is another Matrix or real. Just to add that Neo does say "something's different" before he stops the sentinels.

The 'Brothers' aren't talking about the movie, so we have to wait until the Autumn for the answers. I did find this though:

Quote:
"You can't imagine what happens next," says Reeves, who, like everyone else involved, is mum as to how the story ends. "But I will say this: There's no going back to this story. With 'Revolutions,' it's over, and you'll know why when you see it.

"The Matrix is the prison of the mind," Silver says. "In 'Revolutions,' we open the gate."
