Gave me that same feeling.

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2003)

You know that feeling that you had when you left Matrix 1? Well, if you don't know what I'm talking about, that feeling where you look at things with more focus... study people around you... and wponder if you yourself could actually be in a matrix. Whenever a movie makes me leave the theatre feeling (not just blown away) but impacted in a way only that movie could have impacted me... it did something right. (for example, Goodfellas left me talking in Italian mob style for a few minutes...).
Matrix definetly did this for me... again. Although some of my friends were a bit dissapointed, I got that same 'feeling' as before. I think it works as a very good sequel, and gave me the same mind-f%#! as before.
There are a few things I left the theatre wondering about, and I cannot say them here cause I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen this yet. But where are the boudaries of the Matrix I wonder? And that guy with the knife... what about him?
Obviously since this movie is such a cliffhanger, you have to give thumbs up to the fact the 3rd one will be released in just six months. So even though these questions bug me, maybe that is what was intended.
8.9/10
p.s. and I think it lived up to the special effects we all wanted to see
