Many of the Superbowl commercials were available online (<i>*cough*<b>Kazaa</b>*cough*</i>) less than a half hour after they were first shown. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
The new Matrix trailer definetly looks fantastic. It doesn't appear to be breaking any new moviemaking ground, but that's what the movie is for. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Actually, they say Matrix 2 will break more grounds than the first one. Obviously they don't wanna give much away though right now. heh.
But yeah that trailer is good. I especially liked the parts where the agents were car hopping on the freeway...
Also on that site there's an 80mb version of the trailer that was in theatres for a bit. holy crap the thing is in like 1024x512 res (widescreen). Its actually BETTER THAN DVD quality. mmmm
thats the point..IT IS GROUND BREAKING... see them 100 agents or so? 99 of them are Computer-Generated....Their new technology is so ground breaking you WONT KNOW they arent real.
this is what they have to say about it:

From what I saw in the Matrix commercials (granted it was only a few seconds worth of viewing, and first impressions), I was under the impression that they just had 100 different blue screen clips sewn together, not that 99 of the agents were computer generated. The bit where the agent jumps on the car is obviously fake, though.
And I dunno. I never was under the illusion that any of the cgi in Star Wars II was actually real (it just looked too shiny, for the most part), and the LotR:TTT cgi does become very obvious after a few viewings.
Again, though I've only seen the small clips that everyone else has seen, I'd say that the Matrix cgi work is far superior to any I've seen yet. Of course, they may be just showing off the good parts.

Oh, and the movies will own. Hard.
