Aw........esome

Rating: 7/10 (8 November 2003)

The Matrix is obviously one of the greatest films of all time, so when the Wachowski Brothers decided to make it into a trilogy, people were obviously looking forward to two more great movies. Yet no trilogy in existence has three movies that equal each other in greatness. So why people expected two more classics, I'll never know. Neither The Matrix Reloaded nor The Matrix Revolutions are classics, but both are good movies, although very different.

All that said, The Matrix Revolutions deserves more praise than the very little it has received. This movie, as is each movie in the Trilogy, is visually stunning. The attack on Zion could not have been filmed better. Beyond that, however, I also thought the script was well-written. It contains, as in each movie in the trilogy, deep lines that, even if they don't make sense, make you think. Some have said this movie is slow, but I tend to disagree. The Matrix is not meant to be brainless action, and Revolutions doesn't provide it. Also, some say this movie leaves too many loose ends, but Reloaded should be blamed for providing too many story lines. I believe the Architect should have been left out of both movies. The part I probably enjoyed the most, however, even beyond the special effects, was the score during the final showdown between Agent Smith and Neo. The movie is worth seeing just for that.
In conclusion, I wouldn't be surprised if another Matrix is released maybe 5, 10, 15 years from now. But until then, I highly recommend this movie as a good finale to an awesome trilogy.
