Mindless... and surprisingly blank as an ending.

Rating: 6/10 (18 January 2005)

The most disturbing feature of this last installment is that it is very 'disturbing'... to our eyes, to our minds and most important, to our expectations. It was quite evident in "Reloaded" that the end will not be as fun as the start. But I thought at least there'd be something to watch, as in Reloaded. Well, "Revolutions" have got some stunning visuals (for those who don't know!) but they are no longer soothing to the eyes. Why waste bucks on special effects and stuff when people can't watch it? Cluster of machines swarming over underground city, in the same fashion and shown from same angles, it got so freakishly boring. And the last Neo-Smith fight? it looks good in trailers, not in the movie that shows it for ten minutes or so.
The story, perhaps was not so bad altogether. There are few surprises hopefully to save my investment behind the matrix saga. The ending is done well, though basically rubbish as an idea. The one positive point of this movie that it at least sticks to a basic path, not wandering wild as in Reloaded. It should have been so, because there were so many questions to answer.
It's easy to say "It could be better." but the fact is it couldn't. I believe the modern cinema technology is still not enough to create a satisfactory ending of the Matrix, even with good ideas. And also, probably, the goals of the producers got changed after the success of the first. It's promises for intelligent food for thought must have been compromised for financial success. But it turns out as an overdose of this decision.
