  1. The whole series had plot holes and continuity issues. The first film worse than the rest. The first film gets points for an interesting premise, and the exposition thereof, and the action, and that makes it great. Matrix Reloaded wins as an action/SF film. An action movie needs first a justification for you to care who wins the action scenes. The survival of the human race will do nicely. Second, it needs good action. Check (innovative cutting edge action ramped up way past the first movie, good). An action SF also needs good special effects. Check. As a hard science fiction nerd I say the whole series has problems with the details which are irritating. The higher philosophical pretensions (and the hard science fiction cred) of the first film were no more sound than those of the sequel. You just noticed it more because you were now taking the innovative premise for granted, and because you were older when you first saw the sequels. I watch action films for action. I will not watch a drama for drama. Sure, a plot would have been nice, but the sequels, and Reloaded more than Revolutions, succeeds without much of one.
