Hated the movie, like the box.


Oooh, notice how all four of those pictures form a cross? It goes with the "deep" philosophy of the movie.

It seems they are all to lazy to make a real box. It's just the posters...all shoved together.

The second? I thought the second was different. But either way. It was ONE poster. Not all 4 crammmmmed together..with a empty black space for the title.

Holy crap... I saw that box in my wal mart flyer, but I dismissed it as the temporary box art for advertising putposes. That's just sad, considering that the rest of the series had some pretty decent box art.

They were being sarcastic becase there is therory about the Matrix that Neo was a christ figuer. I thought the "Joke" was kinda stupid.

It's not a theory--the Wachowski brothers admitted they modelled the movies after many religious documents/figures, the Bible/Christ being one of them. :P

No, the Revolutions box art is WAY better. The characters at least look like the ones in the movie. Which is more than you can say about the SP cover.

I'll rent it and see how good the bonus features are before I get it.

The dvd is due out on the 6th, right?

I agree that the box sucks. The least they could of done was gradient-mask the pictures so they blended more smoothly, or even better, used the same picture that was used on the movie posters (I think it was the same one that was in the lower left pane, only that should have been on the front of the whole box )

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

It's like that so that when they put really good artwork on the Trilogy box set you feel the need to buy that too.

Enjoyed the movie (didn't like reloaded) but that box art is really really horrid... I don't know who allowed that out into the general public... its almost offensive.

That is one ugly box cover. Ashame I thought it was a good movie even know alot of idiots in this world don't know the moral the movie was trying to get acrossed. And I am not talking about the machines enslaving humanity. I am talking about the other moral.
