Matrix Reloaded

Neo's second adventure

Matrix Reloaded is the 2003 sequel to *The Matrix*, continuing the science fiction saga of humanity's war against machine overlords.

The film expanded the original's blend of philosophy and action, though critics found it less cohesive than its predecessor.

In casual use, the title's "Reloaded" suffix became a template for sequels or reboots promising more of the same but amplified: They're calling it Democracy Reloaded.
