7. Neo & Trinity Have Sex - The Matrix Reloaded
I'm a little bit creeped out by movie sex scenes in general - not because I think sex is weird or anything, but because I hate the idea of sitting in a movie theatre with a hundred other people whilst we
all pretend to not feel awkward about the fact that there's a sex scene on the freakin' screen. Okay, so it's fine when there's an actual justification - if it's there to move the story along, or show us something about a character that we otherwise weren't aware of, fine. But there are some sex scenes that exist just for the absolute sake of it. Like in The Matrix Reloaded. During a bizarre rave sequence set in the last human city of Zion, we're treated to a sweaty sex scene between leather-loves Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss). And this is pretty much the worst example of a pointless sex scene to have ever appeared in any movie ever made. I'm not kidding. For one, it serves no story purpose: we know that Neo and Trinity are together and presumably they have sex as a result of that. Secondly, it's way too long. It goes on forever (we could be watching a fight scene, surely?!). Thirdly, it's not even sexy. It's genuinely icky and uncomfortable to watch. So basically it fails on every level, and adds absolutely nothing.
