Matrix Reloaded (No Spoilers)

9:15 pm – I’m in the theater waiting for the Matrix Reloaded to start at 10 pm. I’ve got a pretty good seat near the top of the house (I’d rather be at the top than in the first row). It only took 10 min. to get in the theater. I purchased my ticket about ten days ago online and then just printed it at the terminal behind the box office. I stood in a fast moving line to get in the building and then went right into the theater. People have already been filing in for at least half an hour. I got a decent seat because I was by myself. If I had to find two or three together we’d be down in the first three or four rows. Very cool! A seat right in the middle opened up and it’s all mine. Perfect.

9:30 pm – The theater is still filling up. It’s about 80% full (about a 450 seat theater). It’s pretty rowdy in here. If I had to guess I’d say the crowd is about 80% male and probably half of them are 18 – 24 years old.

The view from my seat

9:50 pm – The lights came on and a cop asked everyone to fill in the empty seats. There is one next to me so I moved to my left because the rest of the row didn’t want to move to the right. The problem is the guys on the right don’t want to move either. Well, I guess I get two seats all to myself.

9:58 pm – The cop says the trailer for the third movie is at the end of the credits. Thanks.

10:00 pm – Whoo hoo! Here we go…

1:00 am – Wow! I don’t know what to say. If you liked the first one you won’t be disappointed.
