Oh, Jupiter Ascending, what a glorious mess you are. This science-fiction adventure film is not without its positives, it even is a film that is hard to really despise, though it still is the least successful vision from the directors. The worlds and visuals are a plus, though the story here is regrettably clumsy as it follows the titular Jupiter (...
The feature directorial debut that started it all, Bound is a wonderous subversion of genre that is as exhilarating as it is deeply compelling. It centers on Violet (Jennifer Tilly) who begins to form a relationship with Corky (Gina Gershon). This relationship is also an affair as Violet is the girlfriend of the gangster Caesar (Joe Pantoliano). Wh...
The imperfect finale to the trilogy of films, The Matrix Revolutionsis still a dynamic vision that saw the Wachowskis wrangling all the narrative threads they had established over the prior two entries. It carried on with the prophecy and the looming conflict with the machines, proving to be a giant spectacle that still was carried by strong charac...
The second entry in the series, The Matrix Reloadedhad the tough task of carrying on after the first film left audiences' jaws on the floor. While it was not able to match that same energy, it still is a solid sequel that began to push the story into some interesting new directions. It may have left some viewers feeling a bit lost, but the willingn...
A film that was woefully misunderstood and critically undervalued when it was first released, Speed Raceris a remarkable adaptation that came out long before anyone was prepared for it. It is a film that created its own cinematic grammar and pushed the envelope on what was possible for live-action adaptations. Told with intoxicating and vibrant col...
An adaptation of the novel of the same name by David Mitchell, Cloud Atlasis another work from the directors that deserved more attention than it got. Spanning hundreds of years and vastly different worlds, the timeline of the film stays true to the novel while still bringing it to life as only they could. The result is a truly stunning piece of ar...
There still could only be one film that takes the top spot on this ranking and it was always going to be The Matrix. It is a film that still remains as refreshing and audacious as when it first came out. From the manner in which it questioned our reality to the bonkers action sequences, there is nothing that had been like it when it came out and no...

Thanks to the Wachowskis' imaginative vision, The Matrix is a smartly crafted combination of spectacular action and groundbreaking special effects. 3. The Matrix Reloaded. 2003 2h 18m R. 7.2 (637K) Rate. 62 Metascore.
- The Matrix. Over two decades later, the magic of The Matrix is still as compelling as ever. No matter how bad the sequels got or how many times it was ripped off by inferior efforts, that first movie has retained all of its power.
- Bound. Before they became sci-fi filmmakers, the Wachowski sisters made their directorial debut with a sleek and immensely sexy film-noir inspired by the likes of Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain.
- Speed Racer. Upon release, the Wachowskis' movie adaptation of the popular manga/anime series Speed Racer was deemed a critical and commercial flop (it only grossed $93 million worldwide on a $120 million budget).
- Cloud Atlas. It’s a minor miracle that a cinematic adaptation of Cloud Atlas even exists. David Mitchell’s award-winning novel (which was a surprise success with readers given its ambition and oft-impenetrable nature) is a sprawling combination of characters, styles, and themes, stacked together like matryoshka dolls.
