Spoilers !

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2003)

They went with a scientific ending. Instead of a satisfying emotional Man-Beats-All ending. That's all. It just a movie. It painted itself into a corner. Sun ? way past clouds ? Sun = energy life = no need for human batteries = life on earth = food = no need for conflict = no need for stupid sequels. Wachowski zen logic ? Karma ? Whatever...

How can you have a satisfying ending to something that could not be possible? Remember the scene in Reloaded with the senator and Neo... their conversation says it all.
The Matrix will only be good as a standalone. It's only a movie. There will always be good and bad movies to come along.
Wachowski's probably had a catch-22 . Milk it for a franchise and sacrifice the 1 hit wonder. do the maths.
