the death of special effects movies

Rating: 1/10 (29 November 2003)

The only success of Matrix Revolutions is that it beats Matrix Reloaded in the race for Turkey of the Year. Pompous and boring, it cannot even be saved by the special effects. The viewer is bombarded by imagery with little storytelling talent. The end result is that you're not even impressed by the effects which are undoubtedly the newest of the newest. This film may well prove that a barrage of special effects (combined with gobbledygook philosophy) doesn't make a successful film.
