What was this?

Rating: 6/10 (5 November 2003)

Before you read, let me warn you that my comments will be full of spoilers.

The Matrix Revolutions appears to be a good installment in this trilogy called The Matrix. The special effects are there, the Martial Arts are there, and of course, those conversations riddled with philosophical messages are there.
But the Matrix soon starts to decompose into just another piece of celluloid. By the time the war between men and machine begins, this movie is almost impossible to follow. We see nothing but special effects assaulting our eyes as the Sentinels enter the city of Zion. Bullets fly, the city is being destroyed, and for more than just a few minutes, Neo (the main character) is nowhere to be seen.
And here come the spoilers:
Neo decides to negotiate a truce between man and machine just when the machines seem to be winning. How? By promising the machines he will defeat Agent Smith. At this point, more than a few characters we care for have lost their lives, and I am sure people want to see a happy ending, and there can be no happy ending when some of the characters we care for are dead.

The movie ends in a way that makes absolutely no sense. Because men and machine cannot co-exist. I won't elaborate. But it is obvious to me that this is not a true ending.
