    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...

  2. Aug 16, 2017 · All 8 Wachowskis Movies Ranked From Worst To Best. Posted on August 16, 2017 by Allan Khumalo. The Wachowskis burst onto the scene in the late 90s with creative and cool genre mishmashes that garnered them critical acclaim and the admiration of film fans across the globe. Of course, that didn’t last long as the middle and later part of their ...

    • 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.
    • The Matrix - 80.5 Percent. Shocking no one, The Matrix remains the Wachowskis' best-reviewed film to date, and with good reason. With its game-changing "bullet-time" sequences and unique blend of sci-fi, noir, horror and existentialism, the movie caught audiences and critics alike off-guard when it first hit theaters in 1999.
    • Bound - 75 Percent. Three years before they first sent Keanu Reeves somewhere over the digital rainbow, the Wachowskis burst onto the scene with 1996's Bound, a hard-boiled thriller about Violet and Corky, two queer woman who fall in love and conspire to steal millions of dollars through Violet's boyfriend, a money launderer for the mafia.
    • The Matrix Reloaded - 67.5 Percent. Say what you will about The Matrix Reloaded, but the sequel goes all out in its efforts to build upon its predecessor's themes while at the same time delivering boatloads of impressive fight choreography, as well as one of the most complicated car chases ever put to the screen.
    • Cloud Atlas - 60.5 Percent. Before their collaboration on Netflix's sci-fi series Sense8, Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis teamed up for a movie based on David Mitchell's novel Cloud Atlas, a kaleidoscopic narrative that spans multiple genres as it follows a group of souls reincarnated in different periods of history.
