Everything that has a beginning has an end…

I just got home from watching the simultaneous world premier of The Matrix Revolutions, the final chapter of The Matrix Trilogy.

I went straight to the theatre right after I got back from my trip to Cebu City. I left last Sunday, 2 November 2003.

Just a few random blurt-outs, so as not to give away anything that would serve as a spoiler:

1. Evil Elrond.
2. Seraph. SERAPH. S E R A P H.
3. The Battle of Zion. Can anyone say overwhelmed?
4. The Zion mecha! Gundam! Macross/Robotech! Zoids!
5. Neo. The Messiah allusion is heartbreaking.
6. Seraph. Yum.
7. Lambert Wilson will make a good Dracula. He looks luscious in red and black and slicked-back hair.
8. Morpheous x Niobe!
9. Where was Theresa Loyzaga?
10. The Kid is rather Luke Skywalker-ish. Or, if you prefer, Anakin-ish circa The Phantom Menace.
11. The girl who fired the rockets alongside Zee looked A LOT like Demi Moore in G.I. Jane.
12. Have I mentioned Seraph?

Without a doubt, Seraph is my favorite character in The Matrix movies.

As some of you know, this role was originally offered to Jet Li. However, due to certain circumstances, he turned it down.

Collin Chou, formerly known by his screen name Sing Ngai and credited as such in numerous high-octane Hong Kong movies, was then opted for as the player of the ultimate cyber-bodyguard.
