#52 Was More CGI Better? The Matrix 2 (Reloaded)

  • Summary

  • The Matrix: Reloaded hit theaters in 2003, with a massive amount of hype and marketing behind it. Financially successful in every way, it also successfully expanded & built on the foundation the original film established -- yet a good portion of viewers had complaints. This time around, gone were the real-camera-captured "bullet time" sequences, replaced this time around with dynamic [but perhaps less convincing] digital double fight sequences -- and a generally higher reliance on CG as a whole. On the story and world-building fronts, setting went far beyond the "digital" Matrix...on into the human sanctuary of Zion...and eventually into "funky-town" with The Architect -- an area and conversation that many movie-goers found quite off-putting. Does the Matrix hold up in John and Nick's separate views...and how do the VFX hold up this many years later?!
