Amazing conclusion to Reloaded!

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2020)

And of course the entire trilogy but since this is the second half of Reloaded it perfectly pays off what the first half set up and comes to a satisfyingly conclusion to the story of The One.
The siege is truly amazing. The swarms of sentinels bursting in is so jaw dropping. The upsides down fight at the start. And of course the epic duel with Smith.
I absolutely love where this story goes. We've seen so many of these epic series come to great ends and they usually do it the same way: an epic fight with the bad guys. I'm not knocking that but Neo stopping the war by making a deal with the machines to stop Smith, their common enemy just blew my mind. I did not see that coming and it made so much sense. Every action has a reaction. There's The One, brought to bring peace. Then the many, Smith, the opposite to Neo, the anti matter to his matter, created to destroy that's it. This deal couldn't exist without the One because he created Smith. And this deal ends the war. I loved it. And I love that they end the war but don't destroy the machines. Very realistic ending.
Full of great themes. We need machines. Neo beats Smith with the help of the machines. Trinity's death is a very moving scene, the whispering was a nice touch and made it much more intimate. I love the machine God saying "We don't need you, we need nothing!"
I really liked following the secondary characters. They were good and the ground work was laid. And they aren't main so they could die, a lot of suspense. And I like how Z and the Kid meet up at the very end. Jada was great. I really like that character. Very tough and good.
I could keep going and going. If you don't like this movie it's probably worth watching this and Reloaded closely together if not back to back. It is one movie.
