was not so much in continuity, but
in consistency.
The first movie ends when Neo
realizes he is the One, and that
means in the Matrix, he is an un
stoppable messianic superhero.
“The Matrix Reloaded,” though,
deprives Neo of his invincibility
in order to create suspense sur
rounding the cut that Neo re
ceives in a weapons fight. The
second movie does provide a
great many plot twists and turns
— and, of course, the final reve
lation of the Matrix cycle, as elab
orated by acclaimed director
Helmut Bakaitus as “the
Architect.” The third film, there
fore, is simply the ultimate con
clusion to every premise from the
second movie. And here, the prob
lem is merely the simplicity of the
movie and the uncertainty of its
denouement.
Despite their detractions, the
movies still have high entertain
ment value. They contain never
before-seen action sequences, in
cluding the “burly brawl,” in
which Neo faces 100 Agent Smiths.
Ultimately, the success of a
great trilogy depends on both the
individual movies as well as the
collection. Those series that re
main consistent and retain their
quality are the ones that make it
to that coveted third movie.

HOROSCOPES
ARIES Finish up a household
project — you may want to
entertain. Cook up a couple of
treats that you can bring out at
a moment’s notice.
TAURUS The more you do, the
more you learn, and the more
expert you become. Choose a
topic that interests you, and
settle in for a while.
GEMINI Continue to accrue as
much as you can, and don’t feel
guilty. You ought to be a
wealthy person. You’ll do a lot
of good with what you earn.
CANCER Let somebody who
loves you teach you a lesson
you’ll love to learn. This will
be fun, but it’s going to require
you to juggle your schedule.
LEO Something you’ve got
stashed away in the attic may
finally be back in style. Better
dig through all those treasures
again and bring the best back
into play.
VIRGO A team effort may be
required to achieve the desired
objective. Don’t hesitate to ask
your friends. They thought you
never would. They’ve been
waiting.
LIBRA There’s a direct
correlation between creative
work and cash right now. So
for heaven’s sake, start
whatever great project you’d
like to take on.
SCORPIO Don’t procrastinate
any longer. The moment to
decide is here. Do it so that you
can get on with your life. You’ll
get further if you begin now.
SAGITTARIUS You still need a
few things in order to complete
your plans. Don’t wait until
tomorrow. By then, you’ll want
to do something else. Shop!
CAPRICORN Consult with your
partner about what you want,
what you need and what you
can afford. Tomorrow looks
good for a shopping trip, but
money may still be tight.
AQUARIUS This is not a good
time to resist authority. You’re
better off doing your best to
provide excellent service.
PISCES Don’t get into an
argument about philosophy.
The other person won’t be
convinced if you’re angry. Be
forceful instead.
