Feature:

Reloaded: The SimMatrix
Bryan Alexander on The Matrix Reloaded

A sequel to The Matrix faces a series of challenges. It must satisfy, 
then exceed its audience’s appetite for imaginative fight scenes. It 
needs to work with the science fiction concept of split-level reality, 
going further without undoing the premise. Fidelity to an ambitiously 
defined alternate world isn’t crucial, yet – unlike the situation of the 
Star Wars and Lord of the Rings movies. However, a sequel is bound to 
plumb the first movie’s underworld of technological fear and cultural 
theory riffing. The Matrix: Reloaded attempts all of these, but 
diffuses, throwing itself into an open, unsettled finale.
