Editorial From Amazon.com
Considering the lofty expectations that preceded it, The Matrix
Reloaded triumphs where most sequels fail. It would be impossible
to match the fresh audacity that made The Matrix a global phenomenon
in 1999, but in continuing the exploits of rebellious Neo (Keanu
Reeves), Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), and Trinity (Carrie-Anne
Moss) as they struggle to save the human sanctuary of Zion from
invading machines, the codirecting Wachowski brothers have their
priorities well in order. They offer the obligatory bigger and better
highlights (including the impressive "Burly Brawl" and
freeway chase sequences) while remaining focused on cleverly plotting
the middle of a brain-teasing trilogy that ends with The Matrix
Revolutions. The metaphysical underpinnings can be dismissed or
scrutinized, and choosing the latter course (this is, after all,
an epic about choice and free will) leads to astonishing repercussions
that made Reloaded an explosive hit with critics and hardcore fans
alike. As the centerpiece of a multimedia franchise, this dynamic
sequel ends with a cliffhanger that virtually guarantees a mind-blowing
conclusion. --Jeff Shannon
