The meeting was cut short after Agents Johnson, Thompson, and Jackson arrived at the scene. She has successfully recovered the information left by Captain Thadeus during his finest hour: 250,000 Sentinels are tunneling towards the underground city of Zion and will reach it in 72 hours.Ĭommander Lock, the ranking military officer of Zion, orders all ships and their crews, including Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, and new operator Link, to return to Zion to prepare for the onslaught of the machines. Six months after the events of The Matrix, Captain Niobe of the Logos calls an emergency meeting of all Zion's Hovercraft Ship Fleet. What if I am right? What if the prophecy is true? What if tomorrow the war could be over? Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for? ” More should have been made of the strengths and special features of the first part.Now consider the alternative.
In summary, 'Matrix Reloaded' falls far short of following in the big footsteps of its predecessor. I would have liked to see this kind of staging for the rest of the movie as well. The scenes on the freeway were really good. I generally find these types of characters difficult, because it's hard to identify with them. He can do anything and seems almost invincible. The point that really bothers me the most is the transformation of Neo into a kind of Superman. That's a shame, because it's a feature that can set it apart from the normal action genre. Unfortunately, this approach is almost completely thrown overboard in the sequel. 'Matrix' didn't just stand out because of the action, but also brought a philosophical approach into play. Here, I have the feeling that the fights are pure show interludes. In the first part, fight sequences were used quite purposefully. Everything seems sterile and unapproachable. This is basically the logical next step, but unfortunately 'Matrix Reloaded' doesn't manage to relate to the people at any time.
The movie wants to give insights into the everyday life of people living in reality. I'm thinking of this several-minute rave in Zion, for example. Basically, the movie digresses into inanities, especially in the early stages. Used purposefully, this is definitely a suitable stylistic device. Quantity instead of quality seems to be the motto here.
I don't need to see something in slow motion every 5 minutes just to make it look cool. Agent Smith becomes an entire army, one guard becomes a quarter of a million. What was the non plus ultra in the first part is now playschool. 'Matrix Reloaded' wants too much and wants to go one better on everything.
