Much better on the second viewing.

Rating: 5/10 (31 May 2004)

I first saw Revolutions when I bought it on dvd and watched it on my 21 inch TV. Not much of an experience. Then my friend's boyfriend loaned a video cannon and we decided to give it a go. Suddenly, it was a whole different world. The film really opened up to me after seeming a bit shallow the first time around.
A lot of bad reviews have been thrown towards the Matrix sequels. By me also. Well I'm man enough to say I was wrong. I LOVED THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS. There. The film has beautiful dramatic tones and especially the attack on Zion is absolute eye candy. The APUs are such a great idea (although a bit of rip off from Aliens) and they look so cool in action.
SPOILER AHEAD! But why the extra cheese on the last moments between Neo and Trinity before she dies? Why?! Wouldn't it have been at least a bit better if she would've died right then and there in the crash? No sappy and quite unnecessary goodbyes. Which would have been a lot less corny. END OF SPOILER!
I don't know if I should recommend not to believe the hype, since I know that many people also love this film. Not just hate. I loved it anyways. Give it a chance.
