When he confronts the Architect (Helmut Bakaitis), the creator of the Matrix, the program's unnecessarily dense, puzzling and grandiose speech only serves to confirm that fundamental truth of reality. Following in similar vein to its predecessor, Neo falls deeper into the rabbit hole of this wacky, absurd digital wonderland, discovering choice is ultimately an illusion when encountering the Merovingian (Lambert Wilson), a very familiar but troubling concept in philosophy. And that's precisely what Reloadedseeks to explore from the onset. As the Oracle (Gloria Foster) puts it, it's a matter of choice to believe the possibility is real and even attainable, which then leads to a feeling of purpose and constructing meaning to one's existence, as displayed by Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving). And frankly, that's where audiences fail to appreciate the brilliance of the sequel.īeyond Neo's heroic speech in the closing moments, there was never any actual promise of salvation in future installments, only the belief and faith that liberation from the control of the sentient machines is a possibility. Instead, what we're given is a story that sees Neo falling deeper into the rabbit hole, revealing a far more complicated system, one that opens the floodgates of deeply-problematic abstract ideas and allusive philosophical questions.

Many felt the conclusion of the first movie promised an all-out war against the machines subduing humanity, a war that would ultimately bring the complete shutdown of a simulated reality program that farms humans as an energy source.
And when it really comes down to it, no matter what the Wachowski siblings did in the next adventure of Neo (Keanu Reeves) and his merry band of cybercriminals was probably ever going to meet or satisfy those expectations. So few sequels are equally condemned and undervalued as The Matrix Reloaded, the direct follow-up to a massively popular sci-fi mind-trip that set very lofty expectations in the imaginations of loyal, cult-like followers.
