flogging a dead horse

Rating: 4/10 (30 April 2013)

The last part of The Matrix Trilogy is something of a letdown, sort of a climax that got postponed for too long, thus limiting viewers satisfaction. It is clear that the good guys will win, but we knew that at the moment when the production of The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions has been announced.
And as the experience teaches us, the only way to top a blockbuster is to invest more in special effects. Thus we get a firework of action, with a story which still holds. However, at a certain point the receptors get overstimulated and effects seem to be introduced for their own sake. Also, some sequences looked like intro for PC games of the era. CGI animation hasn't been as mature as today, yet that was not a valid excuse.
