Some enjoyable elements, but an overall shallow experience.

Rating: 5/10 (5 November 2003)

The first Matrix is one of my favorite movies of all times, and although I don't hold Reloaded in such high reverence, I still enjoyed it. Despite the fact that Reloaded left many loose ends plotwise, I was excited to see them be addressed in Revolutions. Unfortunately, they were not addressed, and I was very disappointed with an extremely mediocre ending to such a promising trilogy. The movie begins in a promising fashion, and throughout the film many enjoyable action sequences take place, with great special effects, and a great deal of suspence ensues. However, the final resolution of the film, and thus the entire trilogy, does not resolve much of anything. Furthermore, many characters from Reloaded returned, but in minor roles, and the resolution of these characters was nonexistent. Thus overall, this movie has some impressive actions sequences and visual effects, but the hardcore Matrix fan such as myself who goes into the movie looking for an original conclusion to an original and ambitious trilogy is bound to be disappointed.
