Way Too Overblown In It's Mythology

Rating: 5/10 (12 September 2014)

In some ways I considered some small things in "Revolutions", to be better than "Reloaded". But ultimately it leaves more questions left unanswered, and I found it lacking enough material for its 2 hour running time. For a finale in a very well received trilogy that spawned plenty of merchandise and even a new fashion sense, "Revolutions" hasn't aged well for me and represented the turning point where the series would become a shell of it's former self.
I like certain elements of the story in this one as we spend more time in the "real world", preparing for a war that has been talked about since the beginning. The time spent in "The Matrix" is pretty slow, yet the finale is anything but. For as much as everything feels very anticlimactic, it definitely can't help but feel like it tries to answer questions that aren't going to fulfil expectations regardless how brilliant they could possibly be.
The Wachowski siblings end things well enough. The atmosphere looks edgy, and the choreography and slow motion really help depict the odds against Neo (Keanu Reeves). But after all I've said, I can't really find any other strong reasons to say the finale is a must see. I loved it as a kid, but on repeated viewings years later it just doesn't hold up.
Final Verdict: Ending everything well enough to say it isn't a horrible movie, but "anticlimactic" best sums up "The Matrix Revolutions". 5/10.
