The Matrix Reloaded will make little sense to someone who hasn't seen
the original and might challenge some that have.
Even if you don't completely understand
everything, you can't help but be flabbergasted by the intense
action and innovative ways in which it is filmed.
Your jaw will drop open in amazement with
all the groundbreaking ideas. This movie will leave you feeling
like running around the block to drain off the extra energy. |
A cross between a video game and an advanced
philosophy class, The Matrix Reloaded is quite possibly
the most confusing sequel ever made.
Brilliant kung-fu fighting and action sequences
are tacked together with no plot, which is explained away by
"choices," "reprogramming," and "reprogrammed
choices."
Twice this reviewer was lulled into near-unconsciousness
thanks to pointless dialog and a monotonous dance sequence.
Bigger isn't necessarily better--or was
it just a dream? |
The picture has taken 4 years of work and
more than $300 million to deliver the first of two sequels to
the 1999 film that shoved Star Wars aside and changed
the way movies look and sound.
The action sequences and special effects
are very much like what we saw before, only bigger.
There is an introduction of many more characters,
and it's far more complex. This is one of the largest cinematic
undertakings ever.
If you can pass or filter through the heavy,
wordy thoughts, The Matrix Reloaded can be a wonderful
fun leap into the science fiction future. |
