Three Cheers for Conviction of Vision.

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 2004)

I admire the Bros. Warchowski for carrying out a vision to its inevitable end. Revolutions is like a Beatles song. There's a whole lot of nothing being said (on screen) but the message is clear: All you need is love.
Revolutions is all about Peace. An end to the war, which unfortunately plays like a techno geek war picture. People cheering, characters dying in long drawn out heroic style, and guns guns guns... with no dramatic punch. The only really interesting part of the story is Neo's. And I'd imagine he's on the screen less than half the movie.

The attack and the fight for freedom etc. is all very awe inspiring the first few times you see the squids attacking, but boy the whole thing gets monotonous. And heavy handed. And... did I mention monotonous?
The final confrontation is good. And some might say, the picture stretches out just to build the tension for it. But I have to think there's better ways to do so.

But heck, this one's worth seeing for the final fight and a fairly satisfying conclusion to the series. Which makes the wonderful claim that Love is the ultimate chaos. As any one who has ever been will readily attest to.
