So-so film - I was expecting a Big Bang conclusion.

Rating: 6/10 (9 November 2003)

The third in the series has the most complicated plot line.

The fight appears to be between Neo vs Agent Smith - but as the film progesses, they are only pawns.
The filming of these 3 films has always broken new filming techniques, and this film continues to do so. The last fight scenes with the heavy rain are quite wonderful, and very well done. Hugo Weaving is very good, as is Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss is quite extraordinary.
(I hope the following is not considered a spoiler). The first film was Humans vs. Machines.
The second film was Humans vs. Human. It showed that Humans were being helped by a Program (Oracle), and that the machines were being directed by a Human (the Architect).
Now the third film was Machine vs. Machine. It shows that Neo and Agent Smith(s) battle is manipulated by Machine (Oracle) vs. Machine (Architect).
This instalment leaves open the possibility for other films (groan).
