Saw the much-ballyhooed movie this morning with about 30 others. It was nice not to be part of a packed theater. The Rave/Sex scene was dull and much too long. Otherwise it was a very intriguing plot and I'm anxious to find out how it ends. I think it's a good thing that the finale will be out later this year -- so we won't have to wait a year or two to find out how it all ends.

One mildly annoying point, in the original "Matrix," the plugs in the spinal cord, arms and legs that supplied power to the machines were removed after one was freed from the Matrix. In this movie they return -- for what reason I cannot fathom.
