Matrix Reloaded

Lots of people have complained about the special effects in The Matrix Reloaded. I can definitely see their point, there were definitely moments when I spotted a glitch or two. But seeing as the whole films was one long special effects sequence and I was put off for about 3 seconds in total, I can't really complain too much...

And here's a Matrix Quiz to give you a giggle afterwards.

I had several moments during the fighting (especially vs the Smiths) that I just had to force myself to remember to "ignore the bad fx." My biggest issues: coat & skin texture changes, physiques changing mid-motion (esp muscle-type bulges where no human being has muscles), Trinity's bad timing on the jump to the trailer, etc.

*sigh* I like the movie well enough; I just kept getting distracted with the obvious bits of 3D. As I've said in a few other places, [livejournal.com profile] galoot could have done a much better job with many of those fx with less computing power (software & render farm).
