So I just came back from the Matrix Reloaded...AMAZING.
Of course...I expected nothing less.
Effects....5/5
Plot...5/5
Acting...4/5
Coherency with first film...4.5/5
Cliff Hanger....6/5
I can say I was blown away with the seamlessness of the effects...the integration was superior to any movie I have seen thus far. Although LOTR The Two Towers was amazing...we were dealing with human characters and this is much more difficult to pull off. Incredible!
I have two theories for the ending...
1) The "real world" is just another layer in the matrix...the "architect" pulled the wool over Neo's eyes...and in reality...the world is not so different than how we perceive it to be. A classic dream within a dream within a dream theme. I hope this is not the real ending.
2) Neo kicks some serious ass in the finale and ends the war.
His new-found "real world" abilities are definitively from Monica Bellucci. I'm sure if she kissed me that way, I could electrocute some machines as well
So...then, how does this work? If #1 theory is correct, then that kiss helped "awaken" him outside in the external layer of the matrix. For whatever reason...this was her "gift" to him. Maybe she doesn't like being a plaything anymore.
If theory 2 is correct, because the matrix deals with electrical signals, the kiss could still elicit some true external biological reaction which in effect could trigger electrical discharges and/or telekineses as was demonstrated. Either way...I would bet my HP-1's that the kiss was the source of the power.
Monica was hot. The see-thru dress was over the top. The bullets..the music...the gear...the costumes. Top notch! My pick for the trilogy of the decade. Sorry George...your legacy was left behind in the 20th century.
