[http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/rl\_cmp/trailer\_final\_dlwarn\_pc.html](http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/rl_cmp/trailer_final_dlwarn_pc.html) 95MB file. I’m downloading it now. I haven’t seen it yet so I can’t comment. ---

Well, crap. It looks like its Quicktime, and I ain’t gonna install quicktime just to view it. Unless its fantastic 😉 Anyone see it? Is it worth it? ---

Yes, it’s quite impressive. The highlight of the movie(the car chase) sequence is not shown very much. For this I am quite glad. The Wachonski brothers have the guts to hold back the best bits from their trailer in order to blow everyone away in the theater. ---

Yes, it is worth it. Download whatever you need to see this file. Or go see a movie where it’s playing. I’ve watched it six times today… and it’s not even noon. 😃 ---

Very nice! That is one sweet looking movie. It is the prime movie I am looking forward to this summer with the other one being X-Men 2 (I don’t expect that one to be anything other than eye candy but still). ---

Download started - it’s gonna be 8 minutes. Not bad at home. It’s interesting that they seem to be doing what was done with LoTR and TTT - release it all over the world at the same weekend. ---

After Seeing **the Mask** again tonight, I just gotta say: SSssssssmokin’ I haven’t been this hyped for a movie coming out in a _very_ long time. And this trailer didn’t make the waiting any easier. ---

**Tars** : You probably need to download Quicktime 6 - it was released fairly recently, and a lot of movies are encoded using audio codecs that don’t work with older versions of Quicktime ---

I saw it on television the other day, but only caught bits of it. One of the guys at work downloaded it today, and all I gotta say is… DAMN! ---

Oh. My. Dear. God. Just downloaded the trailer and my jaw dropped so badly I almost drooled on my keyboard. I’ve got such a huge chubby for this movie now. ---

Oh, yeah, if you didn’t like the first _Matrix_ film, I don’t think you’ll be able to like this one. That goes for both of you. 😛 Every time I see the Agent jumping on the hood of that car near the end, I think he looks fake, like he’s moving like Donkey Kong. But really, that’s how Agents move, isn’t it? Like big, lumbering gorillas. Also, I originally thought Neo’s cloak was a trench coat, but it looks more like a clerical robe now. What’s up with that? 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-matrix-trailer-not-for-the-bandwidth-impaired/168040.md?page=2)
