Complete waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (21 July 2005)

I saw the other two Matrix films and thought I should see the last one to see how the series ends. BIG MISTAKE! The Matrix Revolutions was a piece of garbage! 45 minutes of the movie was total filler, just a guy in a computer-generated suit screaming and shooting computer generated blurs that you couldn't even see clearly. And, I don't doubt for a second that this was all filler because the movie ended at EXACTLY 2 hours, 0 minutes, and 0 seconds, as if they made a movie that only lasted an hour and said "Hmmm, we need to kill some time here, let's have a guy scream and pretend to shoot things, then we will add computer generated things later" but then they ran out of money for the computer generated aliens and so just made them a big blur.
Keanu Reeves, who can't act, is hardly even in this one. It's like they made the movie without him. I was hoping so much to learn about him, what made Neo so special, how he would defeat the Matrix, etc. Without spoiling anything, let's just say VERY DISAPPOINTING! He just sort of magically had the ability to do anything he wanted. THEN WHY DID IT TAKE THREE MOVIES FOR HIM TO FINISH THE JOB WHEN HE COULD HAVE JUST DONE IT AT ANY TIME HE WANTED??? No plot resolution whatsoever.
The first Matrix was BRILLIANT. The philosophy of the Matrix was deep and meaningful. All the way back to Descartes and "how to we know we exist?" but then the last one was nothing but a cheap cop out. I truly believed that the makers of this film knew everyone would go see the last one, no matter how bad they made it, how many corners they cut, or how crappy the resolution of the plot was. And, like a sucker, I did see it. I wanted to see how the series ended. And that was a big mistake. This was a complete waste of time. But if you want to see a guy scream for 45 minutes continuously, knock yourself out. You'll be disappointed. If you are hoping for a plot, look elsewhere.
