Neo, Trinity and Morpheus are back and fighting against the machines to reclaim their world, their lives and the freedom of their minds. But now they face another threat: the last human city is facing the onslaught of the Sentinels, computer emissaries bent on eliminating all vestiges of humanity. Neo has accepted the prophecy that he may be 'The One', a man with the power and determination to help mankind free itself from its machine oppressors. They seek out the Oracle and try to fulfil the Prophecy which takes them to a mansion in the mountains where Neo fights other Matrixians (a phrase coined in the review for The Matrix) and they fight new enemies in very cool fight sequences and car chase scenes.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film, but I think it fell short of my expectations. The action does sometimes feel a little too choreographed for its own good. But that is a minor thing as the fight scenes step up a level and are stunning. Overall this is another fantastical film from the Wachowski brothers and there are some just plain incredible scenes - this is a film that you cannot miss
