So kviri, frozencapybara, and I were on our way back from the movie, trying to come up with snarky things to say about it, which was harder than we'd expected as we'd all ended up enjoying it rather more than we'd been expecting to.

Someone mentioned that the "nobody can fly a mechanical line" scene was very Millennium Falcon-ish (which I think was quite deliberate - I mean, they had Niobe pull the exact same "gratuitous loop & down the hole!" maneuver that Han does when diving the Falcon into the worm cave in Empire)...

... which caused me to have the sudden realization that Morpheus, in that scene, is essentially playing the role of Chewbacca, right down to his reaction shots when Niobe does particularly ill-advised-seeming things.

This proceeded to give us all the mental image of Laurence Fishburne delivering his lines for that sequence in Wookiee.

"OK, gimme 60% portside aft."

[Morpheus thumps at the thruster control panel in a combination of frustration and mild panic] "HAOOUUWARRGH!! ARK ARK WUUARRGH?!"

(For bonus amusement, go back to the original movie and picture Trinity pointing to the hole in the bathroom wall and saying, "Get in there, you big baby! I don't care what you smell.")
