THE MATRIX: RELOADED

WARNER BROS.

RELEASED 23 May 2003

Amazing action - cod philosophy. Much like the first really. Neo (Keanu Reeves) has seventy-two hours to save Zion (the surviving humans last refuge) before the Sentinels (bad guys!) burrow to it through the Earth and destroy everyone. The famous bullet-time sequences have been improved to now involve multiple characters and vehicles (although computer graphics obviously play a big part) and there are at least two stand-out action sequences. As for the script and plot... enjoy the action! One last criticism is that with The Matrix: Revolutions completing the trilogy, this feels very much like half a movie.
