The Matrix Reloaded (DVD)

...That one word sums up the Special Effects in the second of the Matrix Trilogy. Following on from the worldwide smash hit that was the Matrix, The Wachowski Brothers are back with another helping of Neo, Morpeous and all the rest of the gang. The second instalment starts off where the first left and although it's well put together you just get the feeling that maybe it was a bit rushed out. Sure the story holds up and we get the chance to see Zion ...
...the story could have been tweaked a bit to involve more of Agent Smith as he is a key character in all the movies, even as much so as Neo himself. So anyway getting onto the good points first. The special effects like I said before really blew me away when I first saw them. I consider myself a movie goer and have seen plenty of blockbusters try but ultimately fail when they blow most of their budget in the first 30 minutes of a film and then the ...

Review of The Matrix Reloaded (DVD)

The second part of the Wachowski brothers' Amazing trilogy blasted onto our screens in 2003 with more funding and ground breaking film making. Although the story doesn't directly follow on from Neo's little speech that ended the origial this can be forgiven because of the direction the y now take the film in. Neo has discovered more of his extraordinary powers as 'The One' and the Zion community are worrying about a machine attack. But , whilst still ...
...the films main focus seems to be on Neo's path as he discovers what being the one really means. Lots of money was spent on the now famous bullet time technique which is what the films have become famous for. There is lots of this but as well, there is a lot more real time fighting between people. For example in the fight between Neo and Seraph it mixes modern hollywood fighting with Chinese style wire fu. A very impressive mix of techniques acting ...
