There is no movie

Rating: 4/10 (6 November 2003)

I was hoping that the third Matrix movie was more like the first one and less like the second. In the event, it's like neither. In fact, the Matrix "trilogy" is not a trilogy - it's really three disjointed films.
Make no mistake about Revolutions, it's a shameless exploitation of the original movie. Not one new idea or character has been introduced since the original film. The ideas in Revolutions (and Reloaded) are all plagiarised from The Matrix and the new characters are one dimensional and awful. There's no continuity in any of the films (characters and plot-lines come and go) and the interesting philosophical questions in the first film become ridiculous in the second and third movies.
The best I can say for Revolutions is that it's better than Reloaded. If I had never heard of The Matrix and wandered into the theatre off the street then there are bits in Revolutions that were entertaining (some of the action sequences).
But the fact is that Reloaded and Revolutions follow one of the greatest science fiction movies ever made. And both fail miserably to maintain that standard. Save your time and money and watch the original movie on DVD. Even the 100th viewing beats Revolutions.
The Wachowski brothers should be ashamed of themselves. Revolutions dishonours The Matrix.
