Wow with a letdown *spoilers*

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2003)

I'll be honest, I don't normally write stuff on here, but this time either I'm bored, or I'm just compelled. What follows is my honest opinion, filled with a couple of spoilers.
I loved the film up until the last 3 or 4 minutes, then I was nothing but let down. I was completely blown away by everything I saw, which is rare for me. I loved how the plot fit together, and how it all worked...but the ending was horrendous. Sure, there were tons of plots holes if you look for them. In reloaded, they begged for ships to be left behind, there wasn't a single ship inside Zion, what was all that build up for? The machines sure were intent on stopping Neo and Trinity from getting to what I believe was Zero One, but after they got in, why did they stop their resistance? And then the end.... All that build up.... And the didn't even win...they fought for all that, and got a draw?
Beyond that, love the tie in with the animatrix, the kid that 'saved himself' it was really nice to know his story while watching him run around. Loved the homages, the mech's looking alot like the one from Aliens, while it the machines have a very Alien feel. The warehouse in which Neo and Smith continue their fight, that HAD to be an homage to Highlander, it sure felt like it was.
All in all, its a spectacular film, but know this, its not an end, its a beginning. Its an end to the WAR, but the beginning of humanity again. It left me with too many questions for an End.... What happened to the matrix itself? Do the machines still commit the atrocity that is using people for power? It was an end to the war against Zion, not against the machines.... Maybe there will be another Animatrix to sort it all out....
