Modern Mahabharata

Rating: Null/10 (14 June 2003)

Undoubtedly,this was one the most awaited sequel ever.

A lot had been expected from the sequel. I watched it here in Mumbai the first day it was released here and yes... it WAS a one of those rare mind-blowing effects I had ever experienced whenever I watch this type of movies. This movie definitely lives to the expectations created by the Legendary Prequel in 1999.
Not Only this has a lot of Action and Animation but it also has an intelligent Concept.It carries off exactly from where it had left in the "The Matrix".
The more we talk of these Matrix movies, the less it is. But the parts of this movie I was attracted to, were...
1)The Cause and Effect Philosophy: This is,If I am not wrong,really the same as proved by the legendary scientist and discoverer Isaac Newton. (But fortunately, Isaac may have never known anything about such a thing called 'Lipstick' or the locations on the body where its imprints could be found.)
2)The Explanation by The Architect: The explanation as per offered by the Architect reminded me of the teachings of The (Actual) One, Lord Krishna to his disciple,the Legendary Warrior Arjuna when he is face to face with his enemies in the Final War ...and his enemies are nothing but his own relatives.And Arjuna is caught in a deleimma. Then the Lord offers him Two Options :
A)To succumb to his Emotions ,not to offer a fight and get Destroyed and in turn as a result, be the cause for the destruction of Humanity.
OR
B) To control his emotions and fight to Win,resulting in the protection of Humanity and Truth.This also will result in Arjuna becoming a more powerful one and help him create a more efficient Kingdom.
Arjuna wisely chooses the Second Option.
Similarly,The Architect offers Neo Two Options:
A)To succumb to his Emotions and go back to Trinity, resulting in the Avalanche-Type Catastrophe which will Destroy Zion and Humanity in General.
OR
B) To dodge his Emotions,Get dissolved himself and also the Matrix temporarily and result in a new and an Efficient Matrix which would be created by the Architect.
Unfortunately, Neo chooses the First Option.
Anyway, Now let's get out of Philosophy. I would rate this movie the same as I rated its Prequel, that is 9 OUT OF 10 or ...4 OUT OF 5; whichever way it goes.
As far as the Action and the Special (Both Visual & Sound)Effects are concerned, they are simply as they should have been,Terrific.
But WAIT,WAIT,WAIT... According to me, this not The Best-REALISTIC-Scientific Movie Ever made. The credit Deservedly goes to the Steven Speilberg's "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE(2001)". AI is simply a Down-to-Earth and MATURE movie.
Unfortunately,in this world ,a majority of people crave for Quantity and not Quality.But even then, it does NOT take anything away from the Matrix Series.
Now I am waiting (as everybody),for the concluding part which completes the Trilogy and also for the Larger-Than-Life "Terminator 3:Rise of the Machines(2003)".
