The Matrix Trilogy is the Modern Citizen Kane

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2003)

The Matrix Revolutions is the third and final chapter in the mind-blowing Matrix trilogy. It stars Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving, Sing Ngai and Jada Pinkett Smith.
The story, simplified, is as follows (assuming you know the stories of The Matrix 1 and The Matrix Reloaded): A huge machine army digs it's way closer to Zion, the last free human city. In the time span of just a couple of hours, they will make their way to the dock walls of Zion on their mission to destroy Zion. Neo (Keanu Reeves) is being held captive by the Merovingian (Lambert Wilson), and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) Meanwhile, Smith (formerly Agent Smith) is spreading like a virus inside the Matrix, making copies of himself at an exponentially increasing rate. Also, his copy in the Real World inside the body of Bain (Ian Bliss), who is now conscious. Now, the future of both the Machine World and humanity lies in the hands of freed Neo, who must travel to the Machine City and talk to the Deus Ex Machina - the ultimate power in the Machine World and God of the Machines - and make a bargain for the future of both machines and humans.
The acting is superb. Each and every character plays the role to perfection, with every line, gesture, and movement filled with heart and emotion befitting the scene and current state of affairs in that part of the movie.
The special effects really seem like their from the future. They are completely mind-blowing, and blow every other movie out of the water. And the climatic fight scene is the best, most complicated fight scene EVER in movie history.
The script and dialogue are marvelous, with every frame deep with meaning and emotion. The fight scenes are each completely tailored to the situation and characters involved.
The soundtrack is simply astounding, filled with passion and intensity, and totally tailored to the scene.
Want the bottom line? The Matrix Trilogy (each movie and the trilogy as a whole) is the Modern Citizen Kane.
