The Matrix Reloaded
5/10 The movie sucks because it completely canceled out the main idea of the first Matrix film, which was GDLK in terms of plot/action. The main idea of the original film was that "The One" would end the war between The humans and the machines. Unfortunately, The Wachowski Brothers ruined the entire original film and credibility of the Matrix franchise with one scene. The scene I'm referring to is when Neo reaches the Architect. He states that there are 5 previous versions of the matrix, and that this is the 6th version. Also, that there are 5 previous versions of "The One". The job of The One is to reach The Source, and pick 23 people to rebuild Zion after it's inevitable destruction. If Neo Chose the door to his right, The Source, Zion would be destroyed and rebuilt with the 23 people he chose. If he chose the door to his left, to save Trinity, the matrix would crash killing every human connected to it. Furthermore, Zion would be destroyed regardless of his choice. Long story short, he chose to save Trinity, but the matrix NEVER crashes and none of the consequences for choosing the door on the left EVER came into play. My main point is this....Zion is the last human city on Earth that houses human beings unplugged from the matrix right? So if Zion was destroyed and rebuilt on 5 separate occasions, and you kill the people of Zion after X amount of years, what is the point of the war between the machines and humans if the machines have them beat in an infinite loop? Furthermore, why didn't they just terminate any human whose subconscious rejected the matrix if they were going to kill them anyway? It gets 5 points for the Freeway scene alone.
The Matrix is more confusing when you decode it. To quote Cypher "Ignorance is bliss."
