It was great! But...

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2003)

It was great! It featured heavy fight sequences, and tied up the matrix pretty tightly.
However, it may not make sense, or even be enjoyable to anyone who does not see the Second Renaissance shorts from the Animatrix. It fills it a bit of history that gives you an insight into the way the machines think. It is sad the Wachowski brothers do not even touch on this.
It's also open-ended. So, figure that one out.
Over all? It was fun, you really didn't need to see the Second Renaissance, but it would've made things make far more sense in the end. I'd pay to see full price to see it again. I'd wait till a matinee or a dollar cinema if you're not that hardcore of a "Matrix" fan otherwise. Then again, story aside, the fight sequences were fabulous with obvious nods to Dragon Ball Z(Which, I particularly don't care for, however, in this case, it is WONDERFUL), so it might be worth it to finish off the trilogy at the end.
