It is a bit of a head-fake. At first I thought it sucked, but after a while I realized that at those points where Neo is "phoning it in" it is because of the head-fake.

Watch carefully at the end when they are out of the Nebuchadnezzer and the robotic Sentinels are coming at them. Then stay through the entire credits to see the Matrix:Revolutions trailer.

The part you want to watch carefully is when Neo is speaking to the matrix creator with all of the monitors in the background. The creator mentions the "grotesqueness of humanity" as images of war, death, destruction, Nazi Germany flash across the monitors and for a few frames the images of George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush are shown.

I couldn't believe that I was seeing this when I went to the 10:00 p.m. early showing last night here in Oregon City.

What a #!^&'ing slam.

I went to see it again tonight with my sister and I confirmed the presence of this subliminal bull crud.

Somebody tell me I am imagining this. I will not see this movie again!

Yeah Matrix borrows HEAVILY from other films and stories. The robotic Sentinels are a direct rip(though not in appearance) of the mutant-hunting Sentinels from the X-Men comics.
