The Matrix Reloaded
We saw The Matrix Reloaded last Wednesday, the day before its supposed opening. A curious move on the part of the studios and theaters, but one that works for me!
It was not as unique as the first film, of course. That was a one-time shot. Aside from a couple over-extended fight scenes and the disappointing choice of brand placement in the car choice, I was highly entertained.
Spoilers, of course, may will follow.
I liked the choice that Neo was offered. It’s amusingly like computer systems today, which must be rebooted periodically as errors creep into the system. The machines could not make a perfect system, but they figured out a way to lead the humans to the choice they wanted. Until Neo, it seems, but that will have to wait for the next sequel in November.
In the meantime, we’ve been watching parts of The Animatrix. As always, it’s nifty to see other peoples’ takes on the story as they fill in some of the history.
