The Weakest Film Among The Matrix Trilogy

Rating: 8/10 (28 October 2012)

Shot back-to-back with The Matrix Reloaded, the third and final installment by Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski's sci-fi action saga picks up where the second film left off.This science fiction action film and the third installment of The Matrix trilogy features Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne and Carrie-Anne Moss together with Hugo Weaving,Jada Pinkett Smith,Harry J. Lennix and Harold Perrineau.Once more Neo, Morpheus, Trinity and the evil Agent Smith returns, and the epic battle for control of Zion and the human race concludes in this explosive finale of the Matrix Trilogy.
Neo remains unconscious in the real world, caught in a mysterious subway station that lies between the machine world and the Matrix, and Bane is still a conduit for Agent Smith, who continues to grow out of control, threatening to destroy both worlds. Meanwhile, as the sentinels get closer and closer to Zion, the citizens of the earth's last inhabited city prepare for the inevitable onslaught. By bargaining with The Merovingian, Trinity and Morpheus are able to free Neo who, after meeting with The Oracle, decides that he must leave Zion and head for the machine mainframe. As Neo and Trinity venture into the dangerous machine world, with hopes of stopping both the machines and Agent Smith, their comrades in Zion attempt to fight off the attacking sentinels with the odds stacked greatly against them.
The last film of the Matrix Trilogy is disappointing conclusion due to the fact that the characters and ideas take a back seat to the special effects.This final installment is both too much of a good thing and too little.The Wachowski brothers have rendered their chronicles into banality, as if trying to imitate the qualitative tailspin of the Star Wars series.As an action movie, it's talky and consists of heavy violence but has a weaker script compared to its predecessors.But what really makes this film ordinary is that there's nothing even resembling a surprise.Too bad that one of the most original concepts in recent fantasy movie history has devolved into something weak in the conclusion of the trilogy.In the end,this final film does not elevate the franchise but only becomes a weak addition to it.
