THE MATRIX RELOADED / THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS (2003) | The Wachowskis, Part III

After the massive success of THE MATRIX, expectations were high for the Wachowskis follow ups.

When the MATRIX sequels — THE MATRIX RELOADED and THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS — were released 6 months apart in the summer and winter of 2003, they were massively successful from a financial standpoint, but left many fans disappointed, confused, and underwhelmed.

In this episode, we'll explore how the Wachowskis attempted to follow up their magnum opus by continuing the story and upping the scale of the action set pieces, and how the final result was ultimately received.
