Dude, I don’t know. More serious reviewers than I have analyzed this movie in-depth. You want discussion of the philosophy behind this flick, be my guest. Maybe this is the most amazing presentation of Gnostic philosophy ever. Maybe it’s all commentary on reality and corporate hype.

All I know is, during the very long and technically marvelous action scenes, my main thought was, “I wonder how they did the CGI for this one.”

Probably not the reaction they were looking for.

Also: tired of the whole black trenchcoats and sunglasses thing. But maybe that’s me.

But I did notice the same makeup of the population of Zion that this guy did. Gotta mean something. Guess the next movie will explain it all.

By the way, you totally need to refresh with The Matrix before seeing Reloaded. Took me a little while to get with the program (heh) and figure out the rules.

We were able to see The Matrix Reloaded because Darin’s brother Scott and his girlfriend asked to babysit on Friday night. Yes, you read that correctly. They told us they’d like to babysit.

Maybe we do live in the Matrix…
