I don't quite understand - or do I?

Rating: 7/10 (4 January 2011)

To misquote Churchill, never was so much eye candy created by so many in pursuit of so little.
The final episode of the Matric trilogy has endless sequences of octopoid sentinels whizzing around in their tens of millions being barely kept at bay by powered suits firing tens of millions of rounds of ammunition, while our chum Neo swans around being pasted by the humanised version of the Smith program, while Morpheus and Will Smith's missus try to get back to Zion.
I've never seen so much overkill in one movie.
Which would be fine as long as I cared, but I have by now become so distanced from these characters that I really don't care what happens to them.
But there are two strong positives - one, no preposterous pretentious speech from the Architect on the scale of Matrix 2 and, two, a fabulous final confrontation between Smith and Neo.
