A revolution in filming

Rating: 8/10 (31 July 2006)

Agreed - The Matrix films are meant only for people with a certain intellectual capacity. However, for those lucky brainies,
it signifies a revolution in filming. Never-seen-before action sequences, witty dialogues, smart acting, neo-modern concepts

it is the next big thing to sci-fi movie genre after Star Wars. The Matrix Reloaded is a must-see for all those who saw the Matrix. Neo, Trinity and Morpheous are back in action to save the

human race from extermination by 'intelligent' machines. The film is shot for the major part in Zion - the last outpost of 'rebel' humans. Agent Smith gives a new dimension to villainry with his power-packed role. Then you have a host of other interesting characters like the Merovingian, The Keymaker, Commander Lock, councilor Harmann, Captain Niobe, and other. the plot is of course ridiculously complex and the last part featuring the Architect requires every bit of concentration.
ACTING: Kianu Reeves effortlessly plays the role of Neo - The One and redeems himself after a spate of not-so-good movies. Carries Anne-Moss as Trinity, and now Neo's love interest has got a good share of role. Fishborne as Morpheous is acceptable. But kudos to the villain pair of Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) and Merovingian (Lambert Wilson). Be it their imposing screen presence, or their timely delivery of memorable dialogs, they are just perfect in their roles. And of course, you have the mouth-watering Monica Belluci, widely acknowledged to be one of the prettiest women in the world, essaying the role of Persephone and involved in an intimate smooch-scene with Neo.
Go ahead grab your tryst with the Matrix.
