THE MATRIX
“Smart filmmaking. Get strapped in for a brain-popping trip.” -Richard Corliss, Time
Perception: Our day-in, day-out world is real. Reality: That world is a hoax, an elaborate deception spun by all-powerful machines of artificial intelligence that control us. Whoa. Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne lead the fight to free humankind in the see-and-see-again cyberthriller written and directed by the Wachowski brothers; the winner of four Academy Awards® (1999: Best Film Editing, Sound, Sound Effects Editing and Visual Effects).
THE MATRIX RELOADED
“Much more than a first-rate action epic. We’re in that rare territory where the sequel is a triumph over the original.” -Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Neo, Morpheus and Trinity are back for the powerful second chapter of The Matrix trilogy, and exciting new allies join them in the struggle against foes who are cloned, upgraded and closing in on humanity’s last enclave. Back, too, are the Wachowski brothers and producer Joel Silver with a spectacle that rocks the senses, probes the heart and shapes filmmaking’s future.
THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS
“A terrific action achievement. Andy and Larry Wachowski have concluded their trilogy with all barrels blazing.”-Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Humankind stands on the brink of victory or annihilation in the stunning final chapter of The Matrix trilogy. For Neo, that means going where no human has dared–into the heart of Machine City and into a cataclysmic showdown with the exponentially more powerful renegade program Smith. For writer/directors the Wachowski brothers and producer Joel Silver, that means soaring beyond the amazing visual inventiveness of the first two films. The revolution is now!
