A Cinematic Disaster

Rating: 1/10 (31 October 2003)

Here comes the third installment of the Matrix Trilogy. Everything that you believed in the first one was already destroyed in the Reload Episode. This time, the Revolutions leads the audience to a normal, not very well done in fact, standard action-packed movie like any blockbuster that may come from Hollywood. Lots of real ugly fake SPFX, lots of noise and to cover all up, a religious choral score by Don Davis (excellent in fact, but only listen to it apart from the movie!). There is nothing left of what marvellous the first Matrix was: Great characters, amazing SPFX, superb story with a real and interesting mythology. The Revolutions destroy all that and become a real pain in the ass moviemaking experience. And the producer Joel Silver quote in the press about the trilogy "This is the future of movie making". Oh, we're in deep trouble! 1/10
