It's oft-forgotten that both sequels to The Matrix were released in 2003 within six months of one another. It was a short enough window of time to ensure that audiences hadn’t grown cynical of the franchise, even with the second installment seeing a dramatic drop in quality from its predecessor. The climax, The Matrix Revolutions, only exacerbated ...
After nearly 20 years away from her signature franchise creation, many wondered whether Lana Wachowski — now working without her sister Lilly, who decided not to take part — could summon up the old magic, and make a movie more akin to the classic original Matrix than the divisive sequels. While anyone expecting a movie as good as the first Matrix w...
Cohesion has never been the strongest suit of the Wachowski sisters but that often doesn’t matter when their visual and emotional roots go so deep with these excitingly original tales. The Matrix Reloaded isn’t the disheartening mess that its sequel was but you can see the wheels coming off the vehicle by this point. It's refreshing to see a blockb...
Jupiter Ascending is one of those truly fascinating disasters that is simultaneously terrible and kind of brilliant. So, essentially, it's Peak Wachowski movie. This space opera tale of a normal woman who discovers she is the true owner of Earth and becomes embroiled in an intergalactic battle is preposterous in the best ways possible. Even simply ...
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.

Upon release, the Wachowskis' movie adaptation of the popular manga/anime series Speed Racerwas deemed a critical and commercial flop (it only grossed $93 million worldwide on a $120 million budget). The general consensus among critics was that it was too overladen with sound and fury without the heart to match, but time has been far kinder to the ...
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. Jennifer Tilly plays a gangster's moll who enters an affair with an ex-con played by Gina Gershon and joins up with her to fleece her boyfriend out of $2 mill...
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. Even if you put aside the influence of the film, as an independent entity, The Matrix is startling in its scale, mood, and energy. ...
