The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

Matrix Reloaded, The (2003, USA) C-138m. SCOPE *** D: Larry and Andy Wachowski. Starring Keany Reeves, Carrie Ann-Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving, Monica Bellucci, Anthony Zerbe, Jada Pinkett Smith, Gloria Foster. Sequel to the 1999 blockbuster features more of the same computer stunts and technical wizardry. Reeves, the messiah of the ailing human race, must help to defend their last outpost, called Zion, from evil scourers. Once a while they drop into the Matrix to make contact and find a solution to their problems. A slight disappointment plotwise (especially in the first hour), in so much as it often seems like a mere transition to Part Three, but incredibly smooth and thrilling, well-made. Immediately followed by THE MATRIX REVELATIONS.
