Perhaps the most amusing or telling trait of The Matrix phenomenon (depending on your point of view) is the cult of followers it's created. Naturally, the franchise needs a following to generate income, and a good one exists. Still, it's instructive to watch Matrix fanatics subscribing to the fictional reality of the film while also absorbing its message that the movie's fictional reality is evil and to be abhorred. It's an anti-delusional ethos delivered via delusion. Is all the hype merited? Is The Matrix Revisited good for fans and curious onlookers, or a desperate stab at minting more coin while plugging the up-coming sequels? Containing more stuff than anyone could absorb at one sitting, The Matrix Revisited is seldom boring, yet covers much ground familiar to most viewers. Like the complex issues at the centre of the movie, only you can decide whether you truly want to revisit The Matrix...Keanu Reeves amazes with his ability to answer interview questions by speaking at a brisk pace, appearing more intelligent than suspected. Further, Carrie Anne Moss' humble enthusiasm and Laurence Fishburne's ultra cool attitude make engaging viewing...Regular folks should certainly watch The Matrix, and if you're curious about the behind the scenes scoop, The Matrix Revisited is a great supplemental piece. - Kurt Dahlke
