[@devangill6596]

A lot of people have offered really solid observations about the CGI in this and several other Reloaded sequences, but the sheer ambition of it is what truly endures. Yeah, it's the very early stages of digital stuntmen, but it's easy to look past it when you realize just how ambitious the Wachowskis were. It would take that kind of technology over a decade to catch up with the scope of their vision in a time where most filmmakers weren't willing or able to get that crazy with their ideas. Now, it's the norm. Back then, it was really something else.

@@smokeybear5460 what they said is true tho?

Even though CGI doesn't hold up as well, the way is transitions in the same frame from CGI Neo/Smith to real Neo/Smith is a technical achievement.

[@alvinjohnson2402]

@@smokeybear5460 He explained it perfectly. The Wachs Brothers ran low on funds so certain scenes had to be "old CGI technology" while other scenes were the "motion capture tech" You can see the difference plain as day (When Neo running on top of the agents, Spinnin with the pole in mid-air is all old CGI tech.) Maybe they should have just cut that part out. But to give credit due, when James Cameron did his blockbuster movie "Avatar" the technology 'Motion capture" had finally caught up. He wrote Avatar at the time he produce the movie," Terminator 2" And if you go back and look at the CGI it was still in its infancy in T2. Motion capture wasn't even feasible yet.

[@Sitheral]

[@Stefan6664]

Where’s Hugo Weaving Waldo?

[@KorriTimigan]

The thing I really appreciate about that, as well as the hallway fight scene later on, is that the Smith you're drawn to look at in any given frame is always the real Hugo Weaving. They meticulously planned every shot to figure out where people would look and always put him in that spot and the look alikes around him.

[@NukeMyHouse]

@@KorriTimigan There's a few shots where the non-Hugo Weaving doubles are TOO obvious, and they added a CGI head replacement. You'd never notice it if you weren't actively looking for it. You can see an example in the beginning of the very last shot of the video: the farthest left Smith has a CG head, and the Smith standing in front of the one who's directly in the sun, to our right of the Smith closest to the camera.

@@NukeMyHouse the funny thing is, the one in front of the sun-lit one is a dummy). Maybe that was an easter egg from creators. Since this shot has absolutely zero sense to do it via CG, only green screen compositing is needed. P.S. Also, the ending fight in Revolutions - most of the Smiths are dummies, manequens.

I love the legion management here. At first Neo knew he was better the horde so he mostly stays in the middle of them to deal out as much damage to as many Smiths as possible but when he starts getting pummeled by the horde he changes his fighting style to more power focused strikes and starts moving to the edges of the legion to limit how many enemies Neo has to fight at once which makes the fight manageable until there is just far too many for even Neo to handle and he has to book it out of there.

This remains, to this day, the best choreographed live action fight ever made. Not just because effects were groundbreaking at the time, or because actors trained and studied with actual kung fu masters for months before shooting, and such - that too. But most of all, this is the only fight that I'm aware of, that actually took time to choreograph the movements of EVERY SINGLE OPPONEN the protagonist is fighting. Nobody is waiting in a line to get punched. Nobody just does nothing or pointlessly misses the main guy by a mile. Every Smith is active, every Smith that comes in contact with Neo tries his best to punch and kick him, and Neo actually has to react every time, or he would be hit. And every Smith that doesn't have a chance to hit him, is angry and dynamic and pushes other Smith's apart just to get a piece of Neo and can't wait for his turn. This is absolutely awesome. Never before, and never again was this much attention and choreography put in a single fight.

[@metamorphicorder]

In real life thats what trained people do. They are accomplishing a goal aside from finding out if they can beat the guy. I used to work security and in training one of the exercises we had to do was break a human chain up. So we broke into two groups the breakers and the "protestors". The protestors formed a "chain" and i told my group to split into two groups, about 5 each. We each took one of the chain. And instead of each person trying to pull off one person, the entire group grabbed the person on the end and ripped them away and tossed them back. We met in the middle. Took us about 4 minutes to break it up. Then we switched. I had my group circle up around me and squeeze in and link arms and i then just grabbed on to whoever they were trying to pull off and held them fast. Took them twelve minutes to take us apart. Teamwork.

[@NoriMori1992]

I used to wonder why Neo didn't just fly away in the first place. Thinking about it now, two things occur to me: 1) He may have wanted to pay his respects, either to Smith as a nemesis or to the fight itself, much like you might stick around for a fight in a game you like, even if you know how to skip it; 2) He may have wanted to assess Smith's capabilities, or his own capabilities in fighting so many opponents at once.

[@codyphillips5098]

Maybe he was in the mood to open a can of whoopass

[@jdogzerosilverblade299]

or they just wanted to do a cool ass fight scene XD

[@devieeboiitaylor1532]

Or option 3: if you observe the fight closely from the beginning you’d see tht none of the Smiths gave Neo any breathing room or opportunity for him to escape and making him go on the defensive and take the fight head on and once Neo had the pole in hand he finally had the upper hand but while Neo showed more resilience in strength Smith demonstrated he had more manpower at disposal, outnumbering him and forcing him back on the defensive when the fight became 1 vs 100, forcing him to retreat

[@jimmyblack9]

Neo can obviously and easily give them an energy blast and fly to safety instantly. They can't do anything to hurt him lol

[@zemm9003]

[@Mask0fFate]

I love the music in this fight. It does a great job at complimenting the fast paced nature of this fight, while also showcasing the urgency of Neo needing to win. Because from the outset Smith laid out what he wanted, and with his ability to convert anyone into another him, this doesn’t become a fight to just beat the bad guy, it becomes a fight just to survive.

Unfortunately, no and no. The CGI was great for 2003, but even by 2007 we had far better, and in 1080p I was already seeing the texture smearing and poor blocking. Also, Monty Oum has some fight scenes (check, Red vs Blue Season 8-10, or RWBY Season 1) that really put *this* to shame, although (admittedly) in his case, it's 99% CGI. It has to be, not only for the physical limitations of the actors, but also the physical limitations of the cameras. That said, I still fight anyone who says Matrix 2 or 3 are bad movies. These are fucking masterpieces.

[@ombricshalazar3869]

[@AleXz971]

Ah, but I don't mean the actual punches themselves I mostly mean the sound effect added to them. If a kick or a p unch sends you flying across the field it shouldn't sound like just a tap imo. Even if it's a Poke that sends you flying, if it has that much force to fly you away it should have a strong smack sound to it.
