The Rebellion Continues

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 2013)

The Wachowski Brothers returned to direct this sequel, bringing back Keanu Reeves as Neo, who has now embraced his role as "The One", who will lead the enslaved humans to freedom, and into Zion, a safe haven for awakened humans. Unfortunately, it is learned that the machines have sent an army of sentinels to destroy Zion in 3 days, and so everyone must be prepared to go into battle. Neo has been having dreams about Trinity(played by Carrie Ann-Moss) dying, but is told by Morpheus(played by Laurence Fishburne) that he must fulfill his destiny, which means locating the Key maker, who will give them access to the source, a solution to their problem, since Agent Smith(played by Hugo Weaving) has returned, more powerful than ever. Involved sequel isn't quite as satisfying as the first, but contains fantastic action scenes and interesting ideas. The early celebration scene is bizarre though! Ends on a cliffhanger leading into part III.
