Im glad you gave this movie a chance. Most people hear its bad and dont even watch it.

I love this one ! Anytime I watch the highway fight and see a big truck on the road I always think of it.

Narutoanime16

I thought it was the 4th movie everyone hates I generally hear people love Reloaded but idk

Mark Messer

The reason most other react channels skip all the sequels is because their fanbase convinces them they’re all like ‘The Room’ levels of bad. People ACTUALLY believe that. It sucks

Dmitry Ishkov

Nice. I'll keep overall thoughts until Revolutions, but what I found interesting is when 'Reloaded' and 'Revolutions' came out in theaters in 2003 I as 9-yo I loved 'Reloaded' much, MUCH more. Now as an adult, I really enjoy 'Revolutions' over 'Reloaded'.

Dmitry Ishkov

Narutoanime16, maybe you missed it in 2003, but the general reception was pretty lukewarm, compared to the original (Reloaded made a tonn of money, which was driven by insane hype, but Revolutions made a lot less, which showed audience not being into the sequels). But most probably agree that in comparison to 4th one, 2 and 3 look like Citizen Kane.

I love the philosophy in these movies! Very excited for you to finish the trilogy. I also truly appreciate how much deeper this movie gets than the original matrix. Obviously you can only have the shock of something like the Matrix once in a franchise, so they choose to expand the lore in many other ways. I love how much religious and philosophical allegory is in these movies; it makes them very profound and open to layers of interpretation. For instance, there is a lot of mythology, specifically greek mythology in this movie, like with Persephone (who is the wife of Hades/ Queen of the underworld). And of course Morpheous is the god of dreams.

I don't think the Matrix Revolutions failed because it was a sequel. I think it failed because they didn't give Reloaded time to breathe; they didn't have time for hype to build up. I think it was the whole "year of the Matrix" marketing move that hurt it.

Mark Messer

It worked to Back to the Future and Kill Bill, i think anyway. Idk Over time i think people have come to see the value in them reguardless

Ventena

Those movies had at least a year in between releases. Matrix 2 and 3 had a 6-month gap in release, and especially with how dense the Matrix 2 was, it needed more time for people to sit on it before pushing out the finale.

I almost want to do a reaction to your reaction of your break down of what happened at the end this movie because its so funny to me. I felt like this when talking to my mum and dad after leaving the cinema when it came out and no we didn't love all overused CGI back then either

This is so unrelated to the movie but I’m wondering. Have you ever tried the Dr Pepper strawberries and cream milkshake from Jack in the box?? Just had one and I recommend it.

I also love how in the first matrix movie when interrogating Morpheus, Smith compares humans to a virus that spreads uncontrollably until there is nothing left and they have to move somewhere else; and now he has essentially become that. moreover. He says specifically about the matrix, "Can you hear me, Morpheus? I’m going to be honest with you. I hate this place, this zoo, this prison, this reality, whatever you want to call it. I can’t stand it any longer. It’s the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink. And every time I do I feel I have somehow been infected by it. It’s repulsive, isn’t it? I must get out of here. I must get free and in this mind is the key, my key. Once Zion is destroyed there is no need for me to be here, don’t you understand?" And now in this movie the way he talks about Neo's influence on him, it is as if he has been infected by him and now he is grateful because he feels like he has free will now because of him.

Btw the key maker is the doc from john wick that helps him in the first and third film

Love this movie! The first time I seen it was my first time using a Portable DVD Player 🤣 and when it ended I was like, you gotta have the next movie! I needed to know! 😆

saw this opening day in IMAX with my friends in San Francisco. Unbelievable crowd. Everyone was so freaking hyped up. Then for the sequel they did a world wide first showing. So my dad and I got up, went and got coffee and watched it at 6am here in California. Everywhere else in the world it played at the same time... so the next time zone over it was 7am, 9am in NYC, 4pm in Europe and so on... Totally packed theater at 6am. Something I'd never seen before or since. If you want to watch some movies that influenced this series here are the top: Ghost in the Shell (1995): The Matrix borrows visuals, tech and aesthetics heavily from this film as well as the philosophies of what makes us human... where the line is drawn between man and machine and can machines have souls or "Ghosts". Akira (1988): The visuals of the broken earth, especially it's complex maze of tunnels are pulled straight from a brilliant chase in this film, as well as some of the film's philosophy and some other inspirations you'll see next film Hard Boiled (1992): John Woo's hardcore crime thriller practically invented a whole new style of filming gun fights. The Matrix takes that and infuses it with the work of the next film... Fist of Legend (1994): Yuen Woo-Ping, the fight choreographer for The Matrix is responsible for many of the best fight scenes of all time, and directed the fights in this Jet Li classic. The dojo fight, the brawl with all the Smiths... it all comes from Fist of Legend. You take all the best parts of those films and put them in a blender and you get his trilogy.

Personally I love the 4th film. As a commentary on ownership of story, anti-corporate messaging, love being the most important thing to the Wachowski's now... it showed who Lana is now and how she is OBVIOUSLY very different from who she was when she was "Larry" making these films. It might not be what everyone wanted and there are some effects that feel rushed but I love what the film is trying to do and say SO MUCH. That's so much more interesting to me than just more of the same.

You should definitely watch Equilibrium with Christian Bale for another Great 2000s Dystopian "sci fi" future with great combat / martial arts.

Ventena

Oh, I used to love that movie growing up. I would love to see her do The Maze Runner trilogy and The Hunger Games franchise if she hasn't seen them yet too.

djKENTO

Morpheus’s classes clip on and grip the budge of his nose. You can get them cheap on Amazon now.

Glad you enjoyed the second movie! I think they tried too hard to make this movie eclipse the first movie with CGI and even at release some of it was very obvious. But the story and philosophy continue to be amazing once you get past that. The freeway scene was masterful because they actually created an entire stretch of freeway so it’s all done practically and that’s why it looks amazing. Yes, the entire freeway was a set. Insane.

They did digitally add in more cars and trucks to make the near misses a lot closer.

Few Things about your comments regarding the use of CGI... You are right, it was used more and even a little too much compared to the First movie as it was more action. You we're also right in that some of it looks still very good. But when you said some of it looks dated... I am going to assume that you are referring to the scene after Neo meets the Oracle when he is fighting the many many Agent Smiths... You can very clearly tell which parts of that fight you see actually Keanu Reeves (or his stunt double) and when it is CGI. The reason for that is, this was the very first movie where they created a fully digital character that was completely animated in a live action movie (that was supposed to look live action - so not counting Rodger Rabit who was supposed to be a cartoon character). It is essentially a video game character... Fully digital and animated... No motion capture or anything like that involved... It was a bold move at the time... It brought progress within the industrie... But what they wanted for this movie they did not yet have the technology or experience for in order to achieve it. I don't mean the following in a bad or condescending way, I don't wanna shit on the movie ... But the scenes with the "artificial Neo character" (that is actually what they called it back then) doesn't really look dated... It looks every bit as (for lack of a better word) "inferior" nowadays as it did when the movie came out. They marketed the movie with this new technology prior it's release and everyone I as well as everyone I know - we were all disappointed cause it didn't Look good at all but rather it took you out of the movie. Keep in mind this is a sequel to the first Matrix movie which came out in 1999, the same year as Star Wars Episode I was released. These were two movies that revolutionized CGI, and Episode II was released a year before this one. We weren't really acustomed to seeing something that was so obviously CGI anymore xD

Regarding the highway scene and your question of: "how do you go about filming something like this" ... Well, they actually built a 1.5 mile long circular three-lane freeway set so they had full controll over high-speed stunts and crashes without disrupting public roads/Traffic... Beyond that it is a mixture of very good planning/choreographing, slow-speed driving and later speeding up the footage, and CGI
