In the second chapter of the "Matrix" Trilogie, Neo gets its unusual abilities better into the grasp, while Zion is besieged by the machine army. Only few hours remain, until the last escape castle of humans is attacked by 250.000 guards, who are to destroy all human life according to programming.

But the citizens of Zion drew hope: Morpheus convinces it that the chosen one the prophecy of the Orakels will terminate to fulfill and the war against the machines. Humans believe in Neo, which is afflicted by disturbing visions, while he tries to develop a plan of action.

But within the matrix there is powerful Player, which to decisions as hollow cheat regard - they refuse taking responsibility and rather rely on feeling-stressed truths.

On its dangerous investigation journey to the secrets of the matrix Neo collects new realizations over its own key role in the fate of mankind, meets on still more violent resistance, approaches the truth and finally stands before an impossible decision, as he could never have suspected her.

Film criticisms

Nina Jerzey (Rhine Hunsrueck newspaper, 23 May 2003): The Actionszenen, under it the fight of Widerstaendler Neo against hundreds of agent Smith clones and a furiose Highway pursuit, sets yardsticks without question, cannot however their computer-generated origin however not completely deny. Despite everything the renewed trip is worth into the "matrix", because history around the future of mankind has still all kinds of surprises ready.

Cinema News 05/2003: Verquickt with Actionszenen more fully breath-robbing choreographic combat sequences, which may being designated without exaggeration again than trailblazing, is the introduction of matrix Reloaded in the film Olymp out of question. This film will sweep all being away before. Buckle doubly, please!

film-serve 12/2003: The spielerisch philosophical background suffers particularly under the Atemlosigkeit of the effects, whereby excessive dialogues uninspiriert with being noisy Action - and combat sequences change. The Abgruendigkeit of the mental draft is lost thereby just as as the sense for the timing.

Cinema 06/2003: Revolutionary Actionkino, which energizes head and cycle - despite some lengths.
