This is a movie reaction to my first time watching The Matrix Reloaded, released in 2003 and directed by The Wachowski Sisters. This story keeps getting so good and Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Laurence Fishburne are fantastic as always. The Architect fascinates me, the freeway scene was action-packed and fun, and I can't wait for more in the next movie! Make sure to stick around to the end of this video for my full thoughts and review and thank you so much for watching! Let me know YOUR thoughts in the comments below!

"You've already made the choice. You're just here to try to understand why." Most people don't understand this statement. Humans are a culmination of their past experiences and choices. So, we don't really choose our actions in the present. Our past self does. Our job as humans is to understand why we make the choices we do. So we can hopefully change our future choices through understanding ourselves.

The people who hated the Architect scene because "it didn't make sense" are really saying they didn't understand all the big fancy words that The Architect was using. As verbose as it is, he does explain quite effectively what the Matrix, Zion, and The One actually are. It's all a cycle of destruction and reconstruction. The Machines strive for mathematical perfection, but humans are imperfect due to the existence of human choice. No matter how hard the Machines try or how "perfect" the Matrix is, there will always be a small percentage of humans who will reject it. Since they can't totally eliminate human choice, they facilitated the creation of Zion as a means to control whichever choice they make. But the bigger that Zion's population gets, the bigger a threat it becomes to the Matrix's ability to function and therefore it must be routinely destroyed and rebuilt over and over. The One isn't a messiah, he merely exists to perpetuate that cycle by choosing a handful of humans to free from the Matrix whom will rebuild Zion while essentially rebooting the Matrix with the source code he carries.

Great breakdown here actually. Only thing I will add is the one is actually the Messiah if you look at it. That is essentially what he stands for. The Saviour of the Race/Chosen - as well as the one to usher in destruction and reconstruction in perpetuity

The point of this room is lying is impossible there. All cards must be on the table. The One, whoever he may be, must know down to his bones, he is being told the truth. So surely the Architect would have neglected to mention the danger Trinity was in at that moment, if he could. But because of the room, he couldn’t. (I guess it would be possible to lie, if you lied to the Architect as well. So he only thought he was telling the truth. But that’s overthinking it, so I will stop.)

Actually my favorite part of this movie is the Oracle's comment about aliens, werewolves, and vampires. The world building of that single comment was mind blowing to me, and I wish they would make some Matrix content based on that. This was also why my favorite of the Animatrix was the Haunted House.

I really enjoy Reloaded. It opens up the world both in and out of the Matrix. The use of rogue programs as 'monsters' in the Matrix is really interesting to me as are the Merovingian and Persephone. See The Animatrix for more context (who Kid is, how everything started, what happened to the Osiris), and also seek out the cinematics from Enter The Matrix (I hope they are available on YT) for more about Niobi, Ghost, and Persephone.

The opening scene was shot on a greenscreen. Carrie-Anne Moss and the Agent are basically holding still in their positions in a rig that holds them up to it look like she's falling backward and the Agent is diving forward, and then the camera dollies past them in various ways to create the illusion of falling. To film the freeway section, a looping bit of freeway just over a mile long was built on an unused runway so that the filmmakers could do any kind of car stunts or action they wanted without having to worry about closing a section of real freeway or damaging it doing stunts. The fight sequences do sometimes run long but I love them, moving in such great sync with the music. The fight sequences in the Matrix sequels feel more like dance sequences, where the actors have trained and move with a certain balletic precision. It creates a sharp contrast with the future John Wick movies, which many of the stuntpeople from these films were involved with, where the action feels more visceral and painful. Speaking of which, when the back-end profit participation benefits for the Matrix sequels came through for Reeves, he paid the members of the stunt team $1m and bought each of them a motorcycle with the money. Reeves' own stunt double, Chad Stahelski, would go onto be his creative collaborator and director or co-director of all four Wick films, and one of the lead Agents here, Daniel Bernhardt, had a key role in the original John Wick and also in Nobody, which used the same stunt company. Many of the themes and ideas in The Matrix movies have deep roots in philosophy, and when they did the trilogy box set on DVD and later Blu-ray years ago, the Wachowski sisters had two commentary tracks recorded for each. Since they themselves did not want to comment on the films, the first track is film critics who disliked the movies, and the second track is philosophers who loved the movies. Many are going to mention The Animatrix, which in my opinion is interesting but a mixed bag (my favorite being the segment called "Beyond"), but there was also a video game released at the same time as the Matrix sequels, called Enter the Matrix, which tells a whole exclusive story involving Niobe (Pinkett-Smith) and her crew featuring 40 minutes of live-action footage shot just for the game. You can find edits on KZfaq that cover all of the material, including the snippets of necessary video game material. The movies were shot back-to-back so that they could be released six months apart, ala the Back to the Future sequels and Lord of the Rings movies. I asked a couple of times and you didn't respond so I will assume you don't want to know, but my guess is that many people will explain a certain detail in the movie that you didn't totally get in the comments here, so if you actually don't want to know until you see the next one, you should be wary of that. 😎

@tylerfoster6267 5 ай бұрын

Once you're done with The Matrix movies I definitely think you would also enjoy most of the Wachowski sisters' other movies, namely their phenomenal debut film Bound (which does have a couple of sequences that will be too hot for KZfaq, but is probably not much more challenging to get on here than any other R-rated movie), the 2008 Speed Racer movie, and their 2012 romantic sci-fi epic Cloud Atlas (based on a novel by David Mitchell, who would go onto help write the script for the fourth Matrix movie).

@RedmoonIndustries 5 ай бұрын

So they made a video game that parallels this movie, in this scene 28:50 you play as either Niobe or Ghost (the guy with her) he does the guns and she is the driver. You are racing to the truck and when you get close enough, it goes to a cut scene so the movie can take over. When Morpheus jumps off the car and kicks the Agent the cut scene ends and you take off driving again. The way the developers described it for example is. Morpheus, Trinity and Neo are talking about getting something out of a building, Morpheus walks out of the room and the movie follows Trinity and Neo while in the game Morpheus walks into the room you are in and gives you an assignment (for example you need to disable an alarm which allows Trinity and Neo to get into a building undetected.) Enter the Matrix is a 2003 action-adventure video game. Its story is concurrent with that of the film The Matrix Reloaded and features over an hour of original footage, written and directed by the Wachowskis and starring the cast of the films, produced for the game.

I thought that was an extra length to go, to give their video game a plug. Am also surprised Roy Jones jr was given more time in the game than he was in the movie.

Finally, I got time of work to see this. I love this trilogy, but I know some didn't when it first came out. I think maybe it was that it changed the story on its head. I like that the prophecy is a lie and another form of control. The music is a banger of a soundtrack. I forgot how good it is. I can't wait for you to hear the Revolutions soundtrack, especially the track Navras. I remember the hype for this before it came out. The week it came out, on TV before it was released on Friday, they showed three episodes of the Animatrix on three different nights to get everyone excited. They showed Final Flight of the Osiris, and The Second Renaissance parts 1 & 2. I hope you check them out at some point. It adds so much to the lore. And I played Enter the Matrix on PS2 between Reloaded and Revolutions. The game was OK for the time, but they filmed scenes with the actors for it while making both movies back to back. I can't wait for you to see the next movie. 😃 🕶 😎

Even going on to play the video games that came out along with the Animatrix shorts, it was all so fun and seeing someone enjoy them now helps me relive that. Music wise, the movies are amazing.

🕶😎🕶 Thank you, as always, for the watch. I loved, and still love, the first Matrix movie. I really like this movie. And, yes, the Architect scene is my favorite scene from the movie. No spoilers. Just an observation: the first three movies are, indeed, a trilogy. The 4th movie depends entirely upon the trilogy, but it's not really a part of it. Think of it as its own separate movie. During the time between the 2nd and 3rd movies I kept pondering on how it could possibly conclude. And, none of my predictions were correct. I recommend not dwelling on it too much. Actually, since you have the benefit of immediate access to all the available stuff, you should go ahead and just watch the 3rd movie and get it done. Incidentally, there is a whole bunch of additional material, animated. They call it the Animatrix, and it fills in some of backstory of this movie. Personally, I would recommend watching that after you watch the 3rd one. Once again, thank you as always for the watch. I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. And, I will look forward to whatever you watch next. I hope you have a pleasant March, and a delightful spring!

😎I'm so happy you love this movie so much. In truth, it's my favorite in the whole franchise (similar to Empire Strikes Back) because it's so gritty, rich in story, lore, philosophy, and ends on a dark note, like my heart.😊 You mentioned the other 2 sequels but not the Animatrix? I highly recommend it before the next one, Revolutions. It adds so much to the lore and the history of this universe as well as several side characters, some of whom you just met in this movie. Watching it after Reloaded actually makes sense because now the Animatrix can't spoil this being the sixth cycle of the matrix, and gives more weight to the next movie by showing how we got here without spoiling anything in Revolutions. Please, please please watch the Animatrix next; you won't regret it. The art, style, and story telling are next level.😎

The Architect's voice is like ASMR to me. Relaxing and tingly. He could totally be a content creator and have a huge following in that community. Also, it makes total sense that the Architect, the ultimate computer program, would speak in such a robotic and overly logical way. I think the reason Neo remembers the vision of Trinity dying specifically during/right after sex is because that's the most emotionally vulnerable time. When all he's thinking about is how much he loves her. And this dream has been weighing on him heavily for a while. So during the most intimate moment, the fear of losing her just hits him so much stronger. I discovered the Matrix movies as a young kid, so I just accepted the sequels as they were without knowing the audience reaction at the time. I loved them because they maintained the atmosphere and vibe of the first movie. They all just seemed cut from the same cloth in my mind; same style, same music, cinematography, everything. I suppose that's in large part due to the consistency of the Wachowskis' vision in that era of their career. But I did enjoy that Reloaded and Revolutions have a sleeker look compared to the grunginess of the first Matrix. I loved that aesthetic so much and just being in that world. At that age, you don't really care if you can follow or don't understand the story. The gist was always clear to me: good guys vs. bad guys. That was enough for 11 year old me. I was especially into the fight scenes of Reloaded. I would replay just those scenes over and over, they were so entertaining. The fight choreography, camera work, editing, and music all flow together so perfectly. There's no confusing, shaky-cam to hide the action. Every single shot is executed so carefully, with clearly so much planning and attention to detail. It's like watching a dance or a music video. When I watched the movies again older, I began to really appreciate the story a lot more. I still didn't hate the sequels then. I think they deepen the story that was started in the first film, especially with how they expand on the themes of free will, choice, and love.

I like Reloaded almost as much as the first Matrix. Great action, great fight choreography, great cast and a fantastic score. And that freeway scene is always bad ass. The new main agent is an actor named Daniel Bernhardt who was an actual martial artist before becoming an actor. He was the main bodyguard in John Wick who told Viggo's son he should be afraid of the boogeyman. I remember seeing this in the theater and reacting out loud when I saw him. I think I was the only person who recognized him haha.

Possibly my all-time favorite movie. Kinda funny since I actually saw it in the theatre and was thoroughly disappointed in it, but I guess that's what happens when it took them SIX YEARS to make it. My hype level going into it was insane and it just didn't cut it for me at the time. However, I've changed my opinion drastically after rewatching it as an adult. I still think the car chase scene is the best action scene ever created. It's absolute perfection. It's such a complex dance between three different groups (the humans, the agents and the Twins) with vastly different objectives, that takes advantage of its sci-fi setting flawlessly. The music is perfect, the dialogue is amazing, and the action itself (both fighting/gunplay-wise and car/bike chase-wise) is unparallelled. There's so much I love in the movie. The whole Merovingian scene that precedes the car chase is also exquisite. (Side note: young and innocent teenage me DID NOT understand the cake metaphor at all. I was like, "Huh, kinda mean of him to make that lady need to pee so bad." It took a rewatch later in life for it to click.😅) I'm not as enamoured with the third movie (and certainly not with the fourth), but it has its moments. I won't spoil any of them, I'll just say that I love the guy whose body Agent Smith took over and entered the real world with. I don't remember the actor's name off the top of my head but he does a phenomenal job in the third movie.

I absolutely love Agent Smith and the tension between him and Neo. Yes the movie feels dialogue heavy and people might use the word bloated to describe it but it really hammers home the problem with choices and how it affects everyone and that how i feel people get lost in translation and tune out being overwhelmed al at once. While i agree it could have been paced or spread out better, i still enjoy this one and Revolutions Because Smith and Neo make it up for me. If you go back to where Smith was trying to assimilate Neo you can hear Smith being destroyed from the first matrix as he's being purged from Neo. Also fun fact, they built that free way to do those scenes😎

As amazing as the first movie is, this is a solid follow up. It suffers in that the script isn’t quite as tight, and I think it suffers from bad CGI.

It's not uncommon for many people to not know who that was with Smith at the end. Smith 'took over' Bane's body and then got beamed back up to the ship. So when he cut his hand he was seemingly freaked out about being in a human body, and not a part of the Matrix. He was the one who sabotaged their mission and triggered the EMP. The 3rd is definitely worth it.

Spoiler alert: Do you see the similarities to The matrix and Loki series. How the architect and who he remains are basically the same character. Then the similarities between a Nexus being like Loki or the fate of the one who at this point is Neo. Morpheus is basically Mobius. Trinity is Sylvie. The only true difference between the matrix and the Loki series is the fact that Loki is both Neo and agent Smith.

I don't know why it took me this long, and this many watches, to realize... the Oracle is actually working for the Machines. As the Architect said, the Anomaly results in a systemic crash that will kill everyone in the Matrix. The Oracle then makes up the "prophecy" of The One saving Zion. So the One will be discovered by the Freed, they'll be sent to the Source to "end the war", and the cycle effectively reboots. Regardless of how the One lives their life, how they react when they learn the truth, as shown by the various monitors in the Architect's office.... they always go back to the Source. I'm just trying to figure out how they went so many iterations without the One falling in love, and making the "irrational" choice to save her but sacrifice the entire human race. Also how the One had never fractured an Agent into a Virus before.

Haaaaaaaa yeah - Matrix Reloaded - my most beloved movie of all times that still disappointed me in combination with the third part like no other movie. I dont say anything else about it yet and I am rather sure you will enjoy also the third part very much. The authors missed such a huge opportunity ... but Reloaded and Revolutions are still sooooooo great action movies. When Reloaed came 2003 into the cinema we had to wait 6 months til Revolutions would be released - like you mentioned in the end. These have been so great 6 month of wild speculation how the trilogy might end. The internet was really young at the time but several websites have been created by fans with forums and other stuff. What a special time back then. I remember watching the action scenes the first time in cinema and got completely nuts. We just had the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Star Wars prequel trilogy - but the action scenes in this movie (in my opinion) top even those two trilogies. Especially the chateau and the highway scenes are so well executed and written. Especially in combination with the great music (several tracks are by Rob Dougan - he did an amazing album) - and yes - its soooooo much fun. Was a pleasure seeing you enjoying them also very much. Also later the talk to the architect was so great. The idea of multiple versions of the Matrix is really interesting. Was a pleasure to watch your ideas about the 3rd movie. Probably ... will leave you a comment there again. These movies meant so much to me - and still mean so much too me. Before I already was interested a lot in philosophy and sociology, economy, utopia ideas, why so much in our culture seems to lead to a dystopian future, etc etc. These movies made me think for many years and go on learning about our species and how it might go on. But in the end - its just great entertainmend and a perfect action adventure.

The Animatrix fleshes stuff out a bit more if you want more context to everything. It's basically a bunch of short stories stitched together into a movie, and directed by different anime creators. The boy Neo saved is in one.

@glennwelsh9784 5 ай бұрын

Probably the most revelatory shorts are The Second Renaissance Part 1 and 2. They explain (quite graphically) how the war began, humanity's downfall, the Machines taking over, and how the world of The Matrix came to be.

"I don't trust that guy, at all" I don't think a single reactor I've watched has caught on that that guy is Agent Smith even though we watch him copying the man and answering the phone lol. To be fair I'm 90 percent sure I missed it the first time I watched the movie too, and I didn't have to worry about filming the reaction. I just think it's interesting that no one catches it!

This is one of those movies that time and KZfaq are kinder to. I like the sequels. I love the soundtrack. The action is better. Everything is amped up but as you said a lot of scenes went on for too long. That seems to be a lot of people's issue. The directors got cute playing with lore, dialogue and sexuality. The rave scene.. The moralists just loved that. "It's Sodom and Gamorah". 😆

(In before a legion of dudebros descend upon this video to try and mansplain everything.) Great reaction as always. LOL @ the eyeroll when that one guard called Trinity "little lady". Excited for you to see the series through to the end. 😎 And if you'd like more info on "The Kid" and why Neo insists that "I didn't save him, he saved himself", he's introduced in one of the vignettes that make up the Animatrix release. Also in the Animatrix is the story of the Osiris (mentioned in the meeting near the start of the film) if you're interested in seeing what that was all about.

You are the first person I’ve ever heard say they enjoyed listening to the Architect scenes. You’re the first person I have ever heard say that you thought the effects in the second movie was an improvement. You’re also the first person (to my knowledge) to ever need to deliberate whether they liked the first or second movie. That being said, interested in your reaction to movie 3. Haven’t seen the fourth movie yet. My favorite part is the 14 minute car chase scene onthe highway (which back then was a really big deal).
