It depends on how you choose to look at it

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 2004)

I have read many reviews of The Matrix Revolutions and I see two distinct sets of views regarding this movie. The people who feel this movie (and the other two, for that matter) were about science fiction or action are, for the most part, let down by the way the story unfolds. People who see beyond the action genre label and watch these movies for the story, philosophy, and the thought put into them see an amazing metaphorical epic for our time. The wonderful thing about metaphorical stories is that they can be viewed and enjoyed (or not) by both groups of people. I think that anyone who ONLY sees this trilogy as a series of action flicks will be disappointed. I know that people who see this as a philosophical adventure really enjoyed it. It all depends on how you choose to look at it.
With that said, this movie does a fabulous job of tying up the loose ends from the previous two movies. The arc of the story remains true and the motivation for the characters is revealed/explained. The thing about trilogies is that each movie relies on the others. Some people want to judge each individual movie on its own and I just do not agree with that criteria. I go in with the idea that most stories have a beginning, a middle, and an end. I view trilogies in the same way. This movie is a fabulous ending to an enjoyable and extremely thought provoking story.
