unbelievable stuff, no letdown!

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2003)

i´ve just come home from the premiere of reloaded, and it was great. i had read everything i could get my hands on in the months before today, and i was a little scared that the movie would disappoint me. but it didn´t - it was great. the fight scenes, the stuff they call "virtual camera", the ultra-speed flying... it was great, and, yeah, there´s only one word: cool. kind of the only stuff worth mentioning that speaks against an absolute high score was that cgi people STILL don´t look 100 per cent convincing. movie special effects have gone a long long way since star wars, terminator, and gollum, but to this day, you can still spot where characters are real and where they´ve been created. i´m waiting for the movie in which it´s going to be perfect, but "reloaded" still doesn´t make it.
nevertheless, this movie rocks. i had tears in my eyes (once more) when neo pays back what trinity has done for him and again they show their love. the deadly jealousy with persephone is a great scene, and so are the first pictures we get of zion (the defense systems).
all in all, this is great stuff. i already have tickets for the german premiere in 6 days, a matrix doubleheader pre-premiere (i´ve been to the netherlands just so i could see it a couple days before it starts in my homeland!), and it´s gonna be great. watch this movie, and wait for revolutions like i do. i´m dying to know more about neo´s new-found powers...
