It's hard not to watch Pinkett-Smith and feel that her character is more to do with the video game than the film itself. Happily Hugo Weaving is fun and is back with his old sneer, while the twins are good value despite having minimal plot impact.

Overall it was always going to be hard to follow up the first film. There the plot was gripping and it is difficult to make the growth of Neo's powers as interesting as his discovery of them was.

I enjoyed the film but just felt that the almost biblical significance that it tries to give itself was it's undoing - luckily the action and style was it's salvation.

Hopefully I will watch Revolutions and see how Reloaded works better in hindsight. Without that knowledge, many of the plot strands appear to be left loose.

If I watched this as a film by itself then it would be irritating - if the conclusion to the trilogy can get back to the enjoyment and tone and spectacle of the matrix at it's best then this will be a much better film in company of it's brothers.

Far from perfect but I don't see how anyone can totally write this film off. Watching The Matrix Reloaded, one is absolutely entitled to say that it is overloaded, too lengthy action sequences for instance, and indeed, a way too lengthy dancing scene in Zion.

But next to that, it is obvious that this sequal to The Matrix takes the story to a whole new dimension.

Different characters define the working of the matrix, and the meaning of life itself, in different ways, depending on their onthological background.

A conclusion is not yet given, which adds to the movie a kind of postmodern quality. For as far as the action sequences are concerned: Groundbreaking.

You'll see stuff that you've never seen before. Sometimes the scenes are a little lengthy, which harmes the narrative, but that is compensated easily by the visual spectacle.

And yes, the Architect at the end is difficult to understand, but when you watch the film more than once, you'll find out that it does make sense what he says.

All together this movie may not be as fantastic as 'The Matrix', but it is definitely a good movie that will keep you thinking for a while.

Dillypogo 19 August As approaching sentinels get closer and closer to the city, an old enemy Hugo Weaving pops up again, determined to destroy Neo.

As if that weren't enough, Neo has a dream about Trinity dying and he wonders if it will come true. The premier problem with The Matrix Reloaded is that it's incredibly confusing.

For the majority of the film I couldn't understand what was going on or who new characters were. For example, Lambert Wilson plays a French character called Merovingian and after four viewings of the film, I still don't know what purpose his character serves.

There is a scene near the end of the film in which you will definitely need a dictionary beside you. People who have seen the film will know that I am talking about the scene with The Architect, Helmut Bakaitis who has the widest vocabulary in the universe.

I understand that it works for his all-knowing character, but what I don't understand is An example of a sentence he says is "you are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision.

The saviour of The Matrix Reloaded are it's jaw-droppingly brilliant action sequences. Amazingly choreographed and with top-notch special effects, they are what The Matrix trilogy is famous for.

I have to say that The Matrix Reloaded definitely has the best action sequences out of the three films and two of my favourite movie scenes are actually from this.

My personal favourite scene is when Neo battles an army of Agent Smiths for about eight minutes. Rob Dougan's music during these action sequences also add to the suspense.

The first film was more intelligent and intriguing, but the action sequences in the sequel were slightly better. With a confusing plot, The Matrix Reloaded disappoints, but the action sequences are top-notch.

MinorityReporter 4 January The Matrix Reloaded has everything you could possibly want from a summer blockbuster but it like its predecessor has a heck of a lot more and while Reloaded is not as good as the first Matrix film it sure is close to the standard of the original.

I don't understand the seeming reluctance to accept this film a suitable continuation of the original film. I'll be the first one to admit that Reloaded has a few slow points and that the story line has a tendency towards the pretentious but the film is also highly intelligent and entertaining but most importantly the film gets the story from A to B with adequate and in some cases remarkable character development.

Acting wise the film is in the same kind of league as the first film of the series with a few mediocre performances, a few decent performances and one or two excellent performances.

Keanu Reeves plays Neo pretty much like he did in the first movie and that is not bad. His monotone voice is canceled out by his clear and well defined body language.

His overall performance is very fitting for the character which, lets face it, is somewhat square and Keanu's acting fits that kind of character very well.

Carrie-Anne Moss has taken a small step down. I don't blame her as much as I blame the writing. Her character, while still ass-kicking, is too dependent on Neo.

I know they love each other but come on. Laurence Fishbourne shines as Morpheus. His performance is slightly more stylized than in the first film but he steals almost every scene he is in.

Other semi-known actors make glorified cameos. Gloria Foster returns as the Oracle in her sadly last performance as she died during the filming.

Her one brief scene is both highly interesting and well acted. As it was with the first film Hugo Weaving provides the best acting by far.

Although his screen time is somewhat limited he manages to leave a lasting impression and becomes one of my favorite screen baddies of all time.

His performance is for lack of a better word fantastic. Effect wise Reloaded is a feast. There is literally something to look at in every scene.

The "real" world has been given a face lift to make it more interesting. The real effects, however, take place inside the matrix and just like in the first film the effects are absolutely ground breaking.

Rivaling the likes of Star Wars and LotR and that is saying something. The people who think the story is pretentious and the dialog stubby will undoubtedly get their adrenaline fix in the action scenes.

Some scenes had me holding my breath and gasping at how beautiful and overwhelming it all was and as much as I love the philosophical aspects of the film I can watch it for the effects themselves as well.

Without spoiling anything I can say that lovers of cool fight scenes and fx are in for a hell of a treat with this one. In terms of costumes the film has really grown into its own.

Especially Neo's costume in The Matrix is very cool and is a great improvement over the previous film. Morpheus' and Trinity's costumes are the same with minor changes and they still look cool.

Agent Smith's costume has changed slightly in the color scheme. His suit has become a bit darker as if to signify that he is no longer an Agent of the system but a rogue agent now.

Also his sunglasses have changed so that they look more rounded so they look more like Neo's sunglasses which of course implicates their connection.

Many of the secondary characters have their own costumes as well mirroring their own personalities. Were the film separated itself from other action packed films is of course in the underlying philosophical and religious aspects.

Once the film has been watched a few times for the effects you can begin to see some of the elements. I don't think its possible to fully translate and analyze every element of the film.

Mainly because every element can be analyzed in a bunch of different ways. Without spoiling too much I can say that if you look hard enough you will be able to find Plato, Baudrillard, Gnosticism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christian elements and some more.

The people who tell matrix lovers to get a life for searching the Matrix for a deeper meaning ought to open their eyes and watch the film one more time.

With that I'm not saying that you can't be intelligent if you don't like the Matrix I am simply asking you to give it another chance. You really won't regret it.

The Matrix Reloaded is an excellent film and it deserves a lot more respect than it is getting and it is definitely underrated. I don't expect people to agree but I do expect people to respect those who love the Matrix sequels like me.

I for one think that its hard to go wrong with Reloaded as it is funny, moving, awe-inspiring and very intelligent.

I highly recommend this film to anyone. Med-Jasta 12 December I did not like this very much the first watch. But after watching Revolutions, which I thought was much better, I gave this another chance.

The first time you are of course wondering where the story is taking you and it ends up being basically no where. Then Revolutions does go there.

Because Reloaded is a second movie, it's the first half of the second movie. With that knowledge this first act becomes much better.

Sure the action scenes go on a little too long, while they are very cool, but the second time when you aren't wondering about the plot you can enjoy them a little more.

Maybe it would have be easier if they called this movie part one. My only problem with this movie is that it's uneven.

There is over an hour of laying down plot line after plot line. Then action scenes that are very long and lose their significance to the story about half way through.

Now all of the dialogue and action scenes are very good but there should have been a little bit of break up to make it easier on us and even it out.

The last third corrects this problem though. Very good after a second viewing. The two movies are structured like one movie. It's really like watching The Empire Strikes Back, pausing it after Darth Vader shows up at cloud City and waiting 6 months to finish the movie.

Please give it another chance and you will enjoy. Even to me to begin with even if I kind of enjoyed parts of the ride, a lot.

But to me it helps looking at it as a bridge between beginning and end. As a part of a whole. The concept is so promising. I haven't had the chance to see the Animatrix yet, but surely I will.

I guess I will spend hours with the game too. In Matrix I just love how interwoven and in balance the storyline is with the way its told.

It reached out and grabbed almost everyone. This time around it seems as if there was too much to tell and too many dollars to play with in too short a time.

Less balance. I'm thrilled. Spoilers ahead. You might need them Matrix is so wonderfully mythological.

Instead of being ethnocentric it puts the light on eternal religious questions in such a universal way. At the same time it formulates the original reason, philosophical questions.

It is about knowledge and faith, belief. Controll through both sense and sensibility. The conflict between gnosticism and Judae-Christianity if we look in the rear mirror.

At the same time it is so biblical to a westerner like me. I won't bore you with all the name symbolism but with Neo himself. His actual name is Tomas Anderson and he is caught in the system like everyone else in the years leading up to Y2K.

In the bible Tomas is the disbeliever, and Tomas also means twin. Anders means man, as in Andros- android. He is the doubtful son of man who is like the rest of us, who becomes Neo, the new one.

At the same time it mirrors the first of Christianity and how it focused on the individual. There is no need for priests or churches system for the individual to reach the transcendent, for man to reach God.

And our heroes are individuals in small groups that fight the system, like viruses in a computer. I just love that Nebukadnessar looks like a bug. In the first film we see the creation of the believing man.

In Reloaded the religious theme takes a step back. Instead it is Free will vs. Determinism which is the main conflict.

Thereby the existential perspectives which were planted in the first film can be developed. Here it is amusing to relate to the first existentialists that focused so much on free will and choice, Friedrich Nietsche and Soren Kirkegaard one atheist and one Christian.

The first captain to enroll freely in the final battle is called Soren. Knowledge and faith remains as a conflict in Reloaded here represented by Lock and Morpheus.

John Locke is called the father of The age of enlightenment which is the time of reason in our history. To me it looks like as if the Wachowski brothers are writing a mythological history of ideas for our time.

Finally they might embrace even time after the postmodern. There is a hint of a cycle here. Matrix is about birth, Reloaded about life and Revolutions about death rebirth.

Matrix is the becoming of man. Reloaded is man as a builder of theories and civilizations. Power and control is formed and developed.

The Merovingian are called the first kings of Europe and are known for their writing and the characters in their written language. I am sure that you can find parallels to this "code" in the Matrix-code.

Anyway Merovingian is the one who has the 'key master' the key to power and control? The middle ages with its mystery and ghosts lack of reason and empirical method follows and can be seen in the set design, armor and weapons.

The middle ages were followed by The renaissance with all its use of Greek mythology The wife of Merovingian is Persephone who actually emphasizes on the rebirth theme because she gives our heroes a second chance to get to the 'key master', and as a goddess she is symbolized by a grain that can sprout.

Then comes The age of enlightenment with reason and empirical method which created the necessary conditions for a new conception of the world and industrialism.

The living-conditions thereby changed radically for people which resulted in the revolutions of the 19th century and ideologically in the first existentialists, Soren and Friedrich.

Existentialism had a new upsurge when God had left us all alone once again and the world fell apart, during and after WW1 and WW2 during last century.

The myth can be said to have survived by fleeing into the music and later into film via melodrama. Which leads us to were we and Matrix are right now.

I guess I just had too high expectations when I saw Reloaded the first time. It got better when I saw it a second time and right now it is one of my favorite friends, or bedtime stories.

Too bad Reloaded is made in such a way that most people seem to eventually enjoy and point out the cinematography at its best.

The saga deserves more. Anyway The Matrix concept is already a classic piece of art, the latest transcription of the bible, a new history of mankind, the steepest roller-coaster and much, much, more.

IAN-Cinemaniac 8 May Last night I was fortunate enough to stumble across some tix to the "Reloaded" premiere. Since the original "Matrix" came out a few years ago everyone has imitated its' kenetic action style, which led me to think there's no way they can recapture that fresh and exciting edge again.

But they did. The Wachowskis have way out done the new "Star Wars" films and without a doubt have far surpassed the "X-Men films.

For example Neo uses one of the many Agent Smiths to take down other Agent Smiths sending them all crashing with the sound of falling bowling pins.

A little goofy but fun. The action though, I can't say enough about. The center chase scene is awesome and the opening cycle scene is Okay, no more words, "The Matrix: Reloaded" will not disappoint and by the time you reach the cliffhanger ending you're more than ready for a break from this double talking, mind bending adventure.

When the credits for the movie came up and yet another great song by Rage Against The Machine blaring in my ears, I just thought to myself, what a great piece of entertainment this movie was.

I was a big fan of the first one like other millions were and was eagerly awaiting the sequel. Although it might not be as good as the first one in terms of it shocking us the way it did in 99 when it brought to us such a new flavour in cinema in terms of development in action, special effects and its terrific story.

All and all it still held up very well considering the pressure this movie had on its shoulders to live up to the great expectation.

I think that's why a lot of people weren't real keen on this one, because it had such huge pressure, and whatever the Wachowski's produced, it wasn't going to be good enough, or people would say it could or should of been better.

Apart from the Zion scene and the Twins not getting enough screen time, this movie was right up there, and for a movie just to sit back in awe and watch all these fighting sequences, car chases and special effects in action, it's a special movie.

Well done Larry and Andy showing everyone just why we go to the movies, Pure escapism and entertainment. When I watched The Matrix I really liked it.

It was not the best film in my life but it was interesting and twisted. So when Matrix Reloaded was released I went to the theater with high expectations.

In Matrix Reloaded the surprise factor is completely lost. Now Neo is Superman and has nothing else to learn because he is indestructible.

His only worry is his recurrent nightmare where he sees Trinity dying or something. The movie is full of endless, annoying and ridiculous scenes that makes you check your watch all the time.

Both scenes are only made to add some sex spice to the story, which is absolutely unnecessary. The fight scenes are also endless and you already know that no-one can beats Neo so these scenes have no suspense And what can I say about the fight scene with Smith clones?

Everybody was laughing in the theater. The Oracle was replaced by another actress because the original actress died, but Gosh This new Oracle is very annoying and hollow!

She is not an adviser like before! And I really liked Tank character because he was very pleasant. Now they just made him disappear. I do not recommend Matrix Reloaded or Matrix Revolutions.

Both of them are just parts 2 and 3 that ruined the original one. I really feel embarrassed cause I liked The Matrix but these two sequels are like the undesirable children.

Theo Robertson 2 July During one University Class on Film Violence our tutor went around class asking the students to nominate a film where we felt the violence was unrealistic.

I remember thinking it was a rather good nomination since it seemed to go on far longer than needed and that Neo could have escaped the fight anytime he wanted.

Having recently seen the film again I have to say it's a brilliantly obvious nomination since the sequence is ridiculous and unconvincing as is the whole movie It's obvious that when THE MATRIX was released it was produced to be a stand alone one off movie.

Hollywood being Hollywood however it doesn't stop people coming up with bad ideas if the motive is money. RELOADED is a bad idea but its problem is that it's not only a bad idea but it's a bad idea badly done A common complaint amongst the more analytical comments on this page criticise the way when characters speak it sounds like they're giving the most profound speeches in he history of cinema in a film that is just an action franchise movie.

Thisis entirely correct we get set piece followed by long pretentious sententious dialogue followed by set piece , followed by long talky scenes followed by set piece What really drags the film down is that the set pieces are both overlong and very badly done.

Watch the scene that Ivan criticised and you'll notice that much of it is done via computer animation.

Especially the bit where Neo holds on to the pole and and kicks the myriad of Smiths out of the frame. You'll be expecting Bugs Bunny to appear chewing a carrot asking " What's up doc?

There's also a set piece on a freeway where a couple of of ghostly twins try and eliminate the good guys often in hand to hand combat.

What lets this down is that both the choreography and editing are very loose. You can see in your head the actors thinking " one two three one two three left right left " as they try and assault one another The original film was one of those rare movies that mixed a high concept plot with genuinely exciting action sequences.

This sequel has none of that. It is nothing more than a cynical exercise in making money. A film about intimacy, choice, and purpose howard.

It is six months later. Neo and the rebel leaders have 72 hours until , machine probes discover Zion and attempt to destroy it. The Matrix Reloaded, the long-awaited sequel to the blockbuster hit The Matrix, follows the lives and destinies of the freedom fighters from Zion and continues its inquiry into our reason for being.

The original had us look at the nature of the reality we live in and the sequel invites us to look at how we respond once we understand that reality.

As the film opens, the Zionists sic prepare to fend off the attack of the sentinels. Morpheus is convinced Neo can save Zion, but to do so he must fend off all enemies to find the source of the Matrix.

While Neo is having nightmares about Trinity's ultimate fate, Morpheus defends his decision to remove the Nebuchadnezzar from the first line of defense and shows renewed interest in his ex-lover, Captain Niobe Jada Pinkett Smith.

In the meantime, we get our first glimpse of Zion where the main floor with its rusted iron walkways and power generators looks like the remodeled boiler room of the Titanic.

After listening to an inspiring speech by Morpheus, the entire floor erupts into a sensuous dance sequence to techno music, interspersed with scenes of Neo and Trinity making love.

Neo learns that he must find the Keymaker Randall Duk Kim who alone can provide him with entry to the mysterious source that controls the Matrix.

Neo tracks him down but first has to get past a seductive Monica Belluci and a witty Frenchman named Merovingian Lambert Wilson who seduces his women with chocolate cake.

As would be expected for a film with a budget that rivals the US Treasury, the special effects are outstanding and several action sequences stand out.

The first uses digital effects and the choreography of Hong Kong director Yuen Wo Ping to recreate clones of Agent Smith in a fight sequence with Neo.

The longest and most bizarre sequence is a minute freeway chase involving hundreds of cars, a Ducati motorcycle, trailer trucks, and agents all over the place.

Don Davis choreographs the car chases with a techno score that becomes irritating after about the second explosion. The Wachowski's have been accused of "heavy handed moralizing", "a for Dummies primer on philosophy", and "empty-headed techno-babble" but I think very few critics are listening to what they are actually saying.

The film is about intimacy, choice, purpose, and our place in the universe. It suggests that "everything starts with choice" and "the only truth is causality".

Put another way, we are the "chooser", the author and the cause of our own experiences. When we choose, we are really choosing what has already been chosen.

You're here to find out why'. What this means to me is that we are all here for a purpose of our own choosing and our job is to discover the appropriate means to realize that purpose.

Believe me, you do not learn this in Philosophy Like the original, many elements of The Matrix Reloaded are fun and appeal to a younger audience but I found the sequel to be somewhat disappointing.

The original left major aspects of the puzzle to our imagination and did not overload us with special effects. The sequel is more complex but lacks the sense of wonder of the first film.

We know enough not to take the car chases and fight sequences too seriously, but without the element of danger, the highly choreographed set pieces become pointless and irritating.

At the end of the first film, Neo told his adversaries on the phone, "I'm going to hang up this phone, and then show these people what you don't want them to see.

I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules or controls, borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible.

Now that is a rogue program that would be worth downloading. Xstal 23 August We gorge on the binaries prophesied once again, through an ever increasing bandwidth, as we exponentially widen our dietary desire to become what everyone wants us to be without thought for who or what we really are or could be.

Getting a bit too close to the man from Nazareth for my liking - bring on the Crucifixion. Trapped in the curse of Sequels! The creators of The Matrix Trilogy had repeatedly state that this was conceived as a "Trilogy" from the start.

Although I haven't a reason to doubt that, the 2nd and 3rd Matrix fall in the tradition that many sequels of good movies suffer from. First mistake is the introduction of many many new secondary characters who might not necessarily needed.

And these characters are trying really hard to pose as important without that being the case at all. Second mistake is the forced philosophy that didn't actually had anything to add to that of the original.

The attempt for a recreation of the perfectly scripted dialog between Neo and the Oracle in the original is a failed one.

For some, including me, it even destroys the feeling of the original dialog by diminishing its great themes. Third mistake the experimental visual effects this time look completely fake.

There is a big fight, shot with something that is described as virtual cinematography, and it's more than obvious that In conclusion when you are trying for bigger and better there is no guaranty that you will succeed.

A common thing in movie sequels. A curse, that struck the second and the third sequels of the Matrix. I was 11 when the first Star Wars movie came out.

I wasn't mature enough to appreciate Harrison Ford's space-cowboy smirk or Carrie Fischer's sarcasm, much less the swagger of their respective deliveries.

All I cared about was robots blasting other robots. By the time The Matrix hit theaters in , we had seen enough action-packed sci-fi over the years to make us cringe.

Our demands had increased exponentially. We now expect both a story as well as the actors' performance to retain some amount of integrity.

If this is missing, no amount of kicking or shooting can rid us of the feeling that we've just been wasting our time in a way that was only acceptable when we were In light of all the negative reviews on Reloaded, I tried not to expect too much.

During and after, I felt embarrassed for having done so. I was given the distinct impression that Andy and Larry themselves had never even seen The Matrix.

Reloaded is an entirely different film from The Matrix. It reeks of a sell-out, of board rooms filled with brainstorming marketing-scammers, of a colossal rip-off that seems to have forgotten what Generation X liked most about The Matrix: its atmospheric flair.

In The Matrix, we're taken on a post-modern coming-of-age journey with Neo. So why not just go play one?

The Matrix was a slick and suspenseful FILM, in which the viewer identified with the underdogs' characters. We rejoiced when they overcame.

But Reloaded lacks any treatment of the protagonist's development, or anyone else's for that matter, allowing the viewer to identify with the plight of no-one.

The Matrix closed out with a pounding tune by Rage Against the Machine, who scream "Fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy!!! It's Invasion of the Body Snatchers: The original writers were replaced by year-old computer geeks more eager to escape into the arms of a voluptuous, blonde computer program than they are in making a film.

This affects even the best of actors. It's disheartening to see the Othello of The Matrix reverse roles with Keanu in respect of acting quality.

Fishburne's droning recital of horrific, pseudo-intellectual musing is so stilted, you can almost hear the director urging him to be "More serious, Laurence!

You've got to be more Morpheus than Morpheus himself ever knew he was! Suspense is lost; CGI used far too often to smooth over gaps in bullet-time photography.

The least trained eye easily spots Gumby-like cartoon drawings stretching across the screen; Acting and writing brutally stilted.

Offends the most ill-equipped intellect. One has the impulse to ignore the dialog completely as a means of punishing it, like parents deliberately not reacting to a year old who tries to shock them with foul language.

Misguided attempts at 10th-grade level pop-philosophy add to superficiality; The direction the story takes views like a made-for-TV Stargate spin-off with an all-new no-name cast.

Story and characters are hideously compromised, amateurishly convoluted; Nothing short of fury is generated by what sloppy writing did to Agent Smith now a renegade evil hippie-bot on a soul-search, seeking revenge for reasons frighteningly lacking depth and the Oracle now trivialized by meandering, contrived oracle-speak, reduced to a pseudo-smarmy program, a side-act as opposed to the pithy element she was.

These two key characters are robbed of their sovereignty and depth; Sets in Zion are too Hollywood, mat-drawing or CGI.

This contrasts harshly with underdog Matrix-hackers all wearing moth-eaten sweaters on the Nebuchadnezzar vis-a-vis Zion mission control's immaculate, glaring white, state-of-the-art hi-tech garb.

The freeway chase scene is among the most drawn-out sequences; leaves one addled, apathetic; We anticipated seeing "the minds Neo freed" and how Neo does this more than anything, far more than him rescuing himself and his pals.

The writers completely ignore this. In sum: This movie has nothing to do with the original, where it left off, or its 'message'. We overestimated the Wachowski Bros.

The Bros. The feeling scenes like those evoked is long lost. Instead, the Bros. Talents of accomplished actors are squandered. The actors themselves come across brow-beaten by lousy script-writing until performances are all less than equal to Keanu's robotics.

Between and , the Bros. Maybe it's because the dollar signs on their eyes have blinded them. Reloaded not only abandons its own previously postulated truth The thing that really strikes me about The Matrix Reloaded is that the increase in quality, if it can be said that there actually is one, from the first movie is more the result of an increased budget than anything else.

I loved the new movie, but the talent was there in the first one, you can just tell that in the sequel the Wachowski brothers had a virtually endless budget, which allowed them to do pretty much anything they wanted.

They have a very distinct style that is clearly evident in all of their movies, even if they are not laden with special effects. The fluidity of the camera movement and the strangely dark tones of their films are only a couple of the techniques that make them recognizable.

These things really come to the surface if you watch the Matrix films, some of the most recognizable films ever made, and then watch an earlier one of their movies, like the trashy thriller, Bound.

That being said, I think it's safe to say that, despite the massive and seemingly unsurpassable genius of the first Matrix film, the Wachowski brothers have made another step up from their last film.

It should be noted that the film is the second part in a trilogy, especially before groaning out loud at the sudden ending of the film, which built up and built up and built up and then just stopped, just like the fist Lord of the Rings film did.

I won't take time here to go into what the story is about and how it continues the story from the first film, if only because plot summary in film reviews is a total waste of time for the writer as well as the reader, and also because I've only seen the movie twice, which really isn't enough to get a total grasp on the depth of the plots, so I'll just suffice it here to say that the startling complexity of the original Matrix a complexity which is almost unheard of in a science fiction film is added onto and expanded in this film, although despite being hard to follow, is never confusing.

I've heard all kinds of talk about the Italian Job having an even better car chase than The Matrix Reloaded and how the chase in this film wasn't even that good at all, blah blah blah.

There is a freeway chase scene in this film which recklessly promotes reckless driving and, even worse, reckless riding , but it is one of the most impressively made and fascinating car chase scenes that I've ever seen.

It also contains the characteristic style of the Wachowski brothers, and is famously filmed on a freeway that was constructed strictly for the filming of this scene.

I can't remember where, Australia, I think. This is one of the points where you really need to keep in mind that Neo's body is plugged into a machine, in the strikingly less appealing real world, and is basically playing a video game where he'll die in real life if killed in the game because his body will think that it has been killed for real and will shut down.

During the freeway scene, there's a camera shot where the camera literally goes right through the chassis' of a couple of semi trucks as it follows Trinity, which I think got the biggest reaction from an audience in a single scene that I've seen since that Velociraptor jumped up at the ceiling in Jurassic Park.

One of the other most memorable scenes is the lengthy fight scene between Neo and the hordes of Agent Smiths, one of the most entertaining fight scenes I've ever seen.

It's obvious that the vast majority of this scene is special effects and not only because there are hundreds of the same guy in it , but it is so well made and convincing and even amusing that the entertainment value of it is massive.

The new villains, by the way, are some of the best new villains since the Reapers in Blade II. I've heard something about an albino interest group that's trying to sue for the way albino's are portrayed in this movie because of these guys, although I can't exactly agree that they're even albinos.

These guys are so weird looking they're barely human. If the albino interest groups are trying to sue, why didn't they sue when Me, Myself, and Irene was released?

Anyway, these guys have the interesting skill of becoming transparent and therefore untouchable, with the small condition that they are also unable to attack when in this defensive mode, which makes for some great fight scenes as well as some cool tricks, like that of hopping into rapidly approaching Escalades oh, there are lots of Cadillac commercials here, too.

I heard recently that Cadillac is trying to aim for a younger audience than the much older people who tend to drive their cars, and if there were ever any doubts that the rumors are true, they are completely dispelled by their heavy placement in this movie.

There are certainly some scenes in this movie where it drags and seems to even border on being unnecessarily philosophical and confusing, such as in the extensive meeting with the Oracle, who tells Neo all about choices that he has made but doesn't know he's made yet, or needs to make even though fate has already determined what decision he would make, or something of that nature, where after a while we find ourselves or at least I did paying more attention to the pigeons walking around in this startlingly different atmosphere than to the deep conversation that they're having.

Maybe this is why it takes me more than two viewings to get the complete story of movies like this. Blasted pigeons.

There is a lot of controversy over the quality of The Matrix Reloaded, which is to be expected, since it is a movie that has garnered such a vast amount of attention, even if only because it is the follow-up to such a massively successful film.

But like Terminator 3, I personally was hugely impressed with this sequel, and am more than able to accept it as a bridge between the original and the final film in the series.

After realizing that the Oracle is part of the Matrix, Neo asks how he can trust her; she replies that this is his decision. As the Oracle departs, Smith appears, telling Neo that after being defeated, he refused to be deleted and is now a rogue program.

He demonstrates his ability to clone himself using other inhabitants of the Matrix, including other Agents, as hosts.

He then tries to absorb Neo but fails, prompting a battle between Smith's clones and Neo. Neo manages to defend himself, but is forced to retreat from the increasingly overwhelming numbers.

Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity visit the Merovingian , who is imprisoning the Keymaker. The Merovingian, a rogue Matrix program with his own agenda, refuses to let him go.

His wife Persephone , seeking revenge on her husband for his infidelity, leads the trio to the Keymaker. Morpheus, Trinity, and the Keymaker flee while Neo holds off the Merovingian's henchmen.

Morpheus and Trinity try to escape with the Keymaker, pursued by several Agents and the Merovingian's chief henchmen, the Twins.

The Logos crew must destroy a power plant and the Vigilant crew must disable a back-up power station, to prevent a security system from being triggered, allowing Neo to open the door to the Source.

Haunted by a vision of Trinity's death, Neo asks her to remain on the Nebuchadnezzar. The Logos succeeds, while the Vigilant is destroyed by a Sentinel, killing everyone on board.

Trinity replaces the Vigilant crew and completes their mission. However, Agent Thompson corners her and they fight. The Keymaker unlocks the door to the Source, but the Smiths shoot him dead as he closes the door.

Neo meets a program called the Architect , the creator of the Matrix. The Architect explains that Neo is himself a program and an intentional part of the Matrix, which is now in its sixth iteration.

Neo is meant to stop the Matrix's fatal system crash that naturally recurs due to the concept of human choice within it. As with the five previous Ones, Neo has a choice: either return to the Source to reboot the Matrix and pick survivors to repopulate the soon-to-be-destroyed Zion, as his predecessors all did, or cause the Matrix to crash and kill everyone connected to it, which would mean humanity's extinction when Zion is destroyed.

Neo learns of Trinity's situation and chooses to save her instead of returning to the Source, to which the Architect responds dismissively.

Trinity is shot as she and Agent Thompson fall off a building. Before she hits the ground, Neo catches her. He then removes the bullet from her heart and revives her.

They return to the real world, where Sentinels attack them. The Nebuchadnezzar is destroyed, but the crew escape.

Neo displays a new ability to disable the machines with his thoughts, but falls into a coma from the effort. The crew are picked up by another ship, the Hammer.

Its captain, Roland, reveals the other ships were wiped out by the machines after someone activated an EMP too early, and that they found only one survivor: the Smith-possessed Bane.

Zee was originally played by Aaliyah , who died in a plane crash on August 25, , before filming was complete, requiring her scenes to be reshot with Nona Gaye.

The Matrix Reloaded was largely filmed at Fox Studios in Australia , filming began on March 1, and ended on August 21, , concurrently with filming of the sequel, Revolutions.

The producers constructed a 1. Some portions of the chase were also filmed in Oakland, California , and the tunnel shown briefly is the Webster Tube , which connects Oakland and Alameda.

Some post-production editing was also done in old aircraft hangars on the base. The city of Akron, Ohio was willing to give full access to Route 59 , the stretch of freeway known as the "Innerbelt", for filming of the freeway chase when it was under consideration.

However, producers decided against this as "the time to reset all the cars in their start position would take too long".

Following the success of the previous film, the Wachowskis came up with extremely difficult action sequences, such as the Burly Brawl, a scene in which Neo had to fight Agent Smiths.

To develop technologies for the film, Warner Bros. Eventually John Gaeta realized that the technology he and his crew had developed for The Matrix ' s bullet time was no longer sufficient and concluded they needed a virtual camera in other words, a simulation of a camera.

Having before used real photographs of buildings as texture for 3D models in The Matrix , the team started digitizing all data, such as scenes, characters' motions, or even the reflectivity of Neo's cassock.

The reflectivity of objects needs to be captured and simulated adequately and Paul Debevec et al. They developed "Universal Capture", a process which samples and stores facial details and expressions at high resolution, then capture expressions from Reeves and Weaving using dense aka.

With this collected wealth of data and the right algorithms, they finally were able to create virtual cinematography in which characters, locations, and events can all be created digitally and viewed through virtual cameras, eliminating the restrictions of real cameras, years of compositing data, and replacing the use of still camera arrays or, in some scenes, cameras altogether.

The ESC team rendered the final effects using the program mental ray. Don Davis , who composed for The Matrix , returned to score Reloaded.

For many of the pivotal action sequences, such as the "Burly Brawl", he collaborated with Juno Reactor. Some of the collaborative cues by Davis and Juno Reactor are extensions of material by Juno Reactor; for example, a version of "Komit" featuring Davis' strings is used during a flying sequence, and "Burly Brawl" is essentially a combination of Davis' unused "Multiple Replication" and a piece similar to Juno Reactor's "Masters of the Universe".

One of the collaborations, " Mona Lisa Overdrive ", is titled in reference to the cyberpunk novel of the same name by William Gibson , a major influence on the directors.

Leitmotifs established in The Matrix return — such as the Matrix main theme, Neo and Trinity's love theme, the Sentinel's theme, Neo's flying theme, and a more frequent use of the four-note Agent Smith theme — and others used in Revolutions are established.

As with its predecessor, many tracks by external musicians are featured in the movie, its closing credits, and the soundtrack album, some of which were written for the film.

Rob Dougan also re-contributed, licensing the instrumental version of " Furious Angels ", as well as being commissioned to provide an original track, ultimately scoring the battle in the Merovingian's chateau.

A remixed version of " Slap It " by electronic artist Fluke — listed on the soundtrack as "Zion" — was used during the rave scene.

Linkin Park contributed their instrumental song "Session" to the film as well, although it did not appear during the course of the film.

Both songs played during the film's credits. It was originally planned for the electronic band Röyksopp to create the soundtrack, but this offer was turned down.

The film sold an estimated 46,, tickets in North America. The site's critical consensus states: "Though its heady themes are a departure from its predecessor, The Matrix Reloaded is a worthy sequel packed with popcorn-friendly thrills.

Positive comments from critics included commendation for the quality and intensity of its action sequences, [21] and its intelligence.

Negative comments included the sentiment that the plot was alienating, [24] [25] with some critics regarding the focus on the action as a detriment to the film's human elements.

The film was initially banned in Egypt because of the violent content and because it put into question issues about human creation, "which are related to the three divine religions.
