An amazing finale to a breath-taking trilogy!

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 2003)

First off, I absolutely loved the first Matrix. After being somewhat disappointed with The Matrix: Reloaded however, I went into this movie with a "let's get this over with" attitude. I was terribly mistaken. Revolutions had better action and a more interesting plot than Reloaded! I dare say that it was as good as the first!
Punch: I was disappointed by the special effects of Reloaded. It seemed like a feeble attempt to squeeze what was left of bullet-time into another movie. Revolutions' special effects on the other hand, were absolutely mind-blowing! Hand-to-hand combat sequences were done superbly and just as memorably as they had been in the first (with new twists of course). The war scenes were done in great detail and were quite suspenseful. This is just what we needed after the disappointing Reloaded!
Plot: I was left confused by the open ending of Reloaded, and feared that even after watching Revolutions once, I'd still be confused. I was pleased to find the plot was explained in full detail by the end of the movie. I also found the plot much more interesting than that of Reloaded for two reasons. First, there was a much greater sense of urgency to save Zion. Second, Neo and Trinity's love is actually shown in this movie. and it's believable!
Summary: Killer action, riveting plot, worth every penny I spent seeing it in the theater!
10/10
