The Matrix Revolutions. We've waited for a long time to see a glimpse of it. Ever since Matrix Reloaded first released its golden cinematic load across the screens of America this past May, we've been haunted by those three haunting words: TO BE CONTINUED.

Well, no longer! With the release date for Revolutions fast approaching, Warner Brothers has previewed a first tantalizing glimpse of the film online that promises to answer every question in the universe ever. Is Zion actually a matrix too? Will Trinity die? Why can Neo stop Sentinels? Is it because he's psychic? Wouldn't that be cool? Who grooms the Architect's beard? Does it take him entire days? Is Agent Smith a homosexual, as was suggested in Reloaded? If so, what do the Wachowski brothers have against homosexuals? If not, why are there no homosexuals in the entire series? It seems like at least one of the Wachowski brothers may be hiding something. But which one? Will Neo's ankle-length coat get caught up in his legs during a high kick, sending him tumbling to the ground, only to jump up suddenly saying "It's cool, it's cool, that was all planned"? Why have I had a headache for three days straight? Should I maybe go see a doctor about that?

Read on to find out. The Revolutions trailer answers all!

Hot damn, here we go! Our first glimpse of Matrix Revolutions footage comes in the form of a really really dark room. As if this wasn't exciting enough, someone in the studio starts slowly turning on the lights with a dimmer switch (the Wachowski Brothers, perhaps?!) while the camera zooms in on a black and pinkish blobby thing.

The camera slowly, over the course of twelve minutes, begins to focus on the blobby thing, which consequently becomes less blobby. Eventually it starts to look like a human being. But who?

Looks like it's time to find out! As the camera focuses in even further, we can begin to see a face emerge, and that face is none other than...

...whup. Okay, we're fading back out into unfocused blobby territory again, and... alright, getting even more indistinct, but you can still kind of make out...

...hmm.

...ah, here we are.

Okay, hard to say what it is we're seeing here. Apparently it's a montage of stock footage, presented for our enjoyment while the kinks are ironed out of the trailer.

As stock footage goes, though, it's very dark and cool looking. You could really spend hours just puzzling over the images here, trying to figure out their significance to the film, probably, and... see... often when you...

...bobbing for apples... Oh, thank God, we're back. Okay, so we once again zoom in on the mysterious figure as the camera slowly focuses in on him. Who is it? The camera finally focuses completely, revealing our hero to be none other than...
