If the Matrix was made up of photographics (the exploding lobby gunfight is one of the most elegant homages to Edgerton's bullet stopping photography), then Reloaded is its digital heir, the virtual introduction to a war of images and metaphors that layer underneath all those definitions. Like the prologue to a wildly entertaining reverse apocalypse, the Wachoiwski bros martrix reloaded is (s)equal part upgrades of both physical existentialism and mental warfare. In reloaded we are told (but without explanation) that Zion, the reversed heaven for awakened humans, is secretly/discretely under machine control. We are shown (but not told) that humans who have died can live a 'timeless' purgatory-like existence in the matrix. And of course we are told that this is the 6th version of "the one," and neo is merely one of the potentially infinite messiahs gracing these stagnant dead corridors. In essence, the matrix was designed to be an afterlife (heaven) controlled by humans and, by force, the machines now employ it as a purgatory-hell set looped (and looping) in 1999 Amerika (or pick any near simulated dystopia).
