An aptly titled film that ties up the loose ends

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2003)

Fresh back from the first viewing (I'm sure there will be more)

I have to say, I was psyc'd to see this, the last installment of the Matrix 'Trilogy'... ...and I was not disappointed.
I'm sure there will be many who will feel it is fashionable to pan this film with ever more clever zingers, but I am more than happy to accept this film for what it is. The concluding episode in a series of action flicks that happen to contain a message as well.
'Revolution', as the word is used in the title of the film was first used as a defense against charges of insurrection during the War for American Independence. We were engaged in a turning or tuning of the rules between those who govern, and the governed. A throwing off of an unwanted outside control in favor of self determination, not a simple rebellion. So too do these movies explore (albeit lightly) the nature of control, the meaning of reality, and the purpose of existence, within an action setting. They are not just action movies, mayhem for it's own sake.
As action movies with a message, they fulfill their 'purpose' wonderfully.
