Score 10: Excellent Sci-fi Trilogy (Can you name a better one?)

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2003)

Score 10 out 10 (mostly for effort):
Right off the bat, can anyone name a better sci-fi trilogy? I think not. My point is this: making a great sci-fi movie is a very difficult undertaking. Making a follow up sc-fi is even more challenging. Then, pulling off a third movie on the same story, and tying it all together, is monumental indeed.
And the bro's have pulled the trilogy off nicely. But, this has been done mostly on hard work. The first Matrix was excellent, and most viewers who saw Revolutions would agree on that. Now combine that first movie, and all the obstacles they had to overcome (critics with microscopes, viewer over-expectations, and myopic viewers) and you have no choice but to give the bro's have an "A" for effort.
Altogether you have a movie that as one reviewer wrote, "Has something for everyone." The bro's told a rich philosophical sci-fi story by creating many story dialogue levels for varying intelligence levels of viewers -- a point missed by some critics. This technique was overdone a bit in Reloaded, but well synchronized in Revolutions.
My fellow workers and I (ok we're all mostly computer geeks at my high-tech job), enjoyed going over the movie's messages and symbols the day after we saw it.
This movie makes you think -- as a good sci-fi movie should. SCORE: 10 out 10 (mostly for effort).
