And when Reloaded does rest on its action laurels, it creates the most graceful combat and chase sequences of the series. It’s easy for a story to lose its stakes when it has an unbeatable messiah at its center, but the film mostly avoids this pitfall by focusing on philosophical questions and the difficult decisions Neo has to make, none of which can be overcome with raw power. He’s now able to stop bullets with his mind, defeat a hundred Agent Smiths with his bare hands and fly around the Matrix like a goth Superman. In Reloaded, Neo is no longer new to his powers. Zion orgy is actually even sexier /S0ynbsfAcJ

The film is full of characters soliloquizing about control, causality, fate and purpose, but here is a moment of mass bliss and adrenaline for no other reason than pleasure. While modern films make a big deal about their diversity while doing very little, this depiction of a liberated, unified people of all ethnicities feels effortlessly thoughtful. In response to this terrifying news, they have what is either a horny cave rave or an orgy, with bodies of all different colors sweating and grinding and gyrating upon each other in euphoria. When we first see the people of Zion, it’s just as they’ve been told that there are a quarter of a million machines coming to massacre them.
The Wachowskis introduce the stakes of Reloaded not through an action sequence, but through a testament to human expression. That’s exactly what The Matrix Reloaded did, introducing us to the last human city of Zion and showing more of the real world Neo and his comrades are fighting to protect. Yes, its focus is on Neo’s origin story and the small crew of humans helping him come into his powers as The One, but its talk of a growing resistance hacking into the Matrix is an entry point that begs to be expanded upon. But while The Matrix is a fantastic cyberpunk romp that questions the status quo, it was never meant to be self-contained. The Matrix was a groundbreaking film in Hollywood with its mind-bending story and use of action sequences and style heavily influenced by Hong Kong action films. We’re also told of the ongoing battle between the last vestiges of humanity and the machines that have enslaved them. In it, we see his awakening to reality and introduction to the dystopian real world. The original Matrix film tells the story of Neo ( Keanu Reeves), the series’ protagonist and the supposed messiah of a dying human race liberated from The Matrix (a computer simulation we all live in where it’s always the early 2000s). But upon revisiting the franchise, I found that the sequels aren’t only necessary, but perfectly innovative and astounding in their own right. I realized I hadn’t actually seen Revolutions since it came out, probably because of how critically condemned it was. It had been years since I watched all three of these movies before I sat down to binge-watch them this week. the "matrix reloaded is the best one" and the "what are you talking about are you high" sides are all loading their early 2000s tricked out out SMGs for combat They were happy to make just one great movie." Some acolytes of the first film still outright disavow the existence of the sequels today. In the wake of 1999’s The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions had a lot to live up to, and fans and critics alike were disappointed when they felt those movies went in different directions than audiences were expecting. Of particular interest is a wave of relitigation of the series’ second and third films, both of which received a lot of ire when they came out and in the years since. And with the first trailer for Resurrections out this past week, it seems everyone’s been abuzz with Matrix fever. Ever since the name of the fourth film in The Matrix series, The Matrix Resurrections, was announced early this month, people on the internet haven’t been able to stop talking about the cyberpunk sci-fi quadrilogy.
