Honest Movie

Rating: 7/10 (12 November 2003)

Possible Spoiler - Please see the movie first.
For those who expected four, maybe five dimensional levels in the Matrix, for those who expected the Twins, for those who expected spectacular Fighter Jet chases (since this would be the next chase level), for those who expected new powers for the trio, for those who expected the Oracle stop cooking and doing for some Kung Fu, for those who expected Neo going to another planet:
This movie is not for you.
Matrix Revolutions is an honest movie, with an honest ending. It is really difficult to imagine a different ending.
This is a sad movie indeed, sad all the way. However it sticks to the trilogy, and besides Matrix Reloaded did go somewhere else for a while, Matrix Revolutions put things back on track.
Of course, Revolutions is not perfect. Maybe too much action, too few philosophy on this one.
But if you see it as a trilogy, there is not much talking left at this point. Decisions have already been made, things had happened, the path is defined. Everyone is commited to save Zion, each one on its path, but the purpose is common. And they go for it, and Gosh, how they put energy and belief on that effort.
This is a great trilogy. Could it be better? Yes, for sure. There is a great amount of uncovered territory on the concept.
However, as deep as the white rabbit did go, Alice did say Kansas goodbye.
