Revolutions Review

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2003)

This is the third and final installment, or so they say , of the Matrix. Here is where you will see the fate of Neo and his counter part Agent Smith. Smith has become unstoppable at this point. The machines are going to attack Zion and humanity must prevail or be inihalated. Seeing this movie is comparable to going to Disney World for 2 and a half hours. It concludes the story and reveals the purpose of The One, or at least the purpose of Neo. It is a movie that is scary for it's hard bearing truth. The movie starts out slow. As Neo is trapped in Limbo Trinity, Morpheus and Seraph try to find him and bring him back to Zion. There is a very cool scene involving some coat check guys at a place called Hel Club, what appears to be an S&M club. While there , Trinity gets to be a total bad ass. She proclaims her purpose to The Merovingian played by Lambert Wilson. There is a battle between Zion and the machines. This battle is as hard core as it gets. At one point I was wishing for it to stop. Not because it was repetitive or boring, but because I just wanted this war to end. One thing that I thought was missing from the second installment was blood. The final episode makes up for the blood missing from the second by adding more blood and a hefty pinch of gore. What happens from there you will have to see for yourself. This is my second favorite movie of all time. If you haven't seen this movie I suggest that you go out right now and see it. After you have seen the first two.

The Matrix Trilogy is the most fascinating and inspirational story of modern times. This is what film making is about and I hope to see other films follow suit. This is what I live for. To be taken into a different world and inspired by it is something that i enjoy. I can't imagine anyone ever topping this trilogy. I also consider The Matrix as a historical event in that it gave us hope in times of doubt. It shows us the reality of our sins and explores the benefit of faith. If you can't get into the story , watch it just for the spectacle. If you do get into the story, well then , welcome to the desert of the real my friend.
