The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

Synopsis: Humans are controlled by computers, who plug them into an illusory reality. A bunch of rebels try to reach the system kernel hoping to undo this state of oppression. They fail, because there must be a third extremely lucrative entry in this saga.

Appraisal: Second viewing, no dozing off this time, of this solemn sci-fi soap-opera whose highlight is a highly elaborate car chase in its latter half. Dump this boring trilogy for the similarly themed and more enjoyable eXistenZ (1999).
