Conditionally Perfect

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2003)

This is a perfect ending to Neo's story, if you know how to interpret it. Unfortunately it is not a film for mass consumption, nor does it fully satisfy its target audience, the fans. If you expect the promised end to the war, you will be rewarded. However, the story inspires so many questions and possible interpretations of the answers presented that it ends up being too big for its britches. Trying to sate people's thirst for the Matrix universe in three films is like trying to explore the Star Trek universe without a library of novels and technical manuals. It can only come up short. This film coupled with Reloaded only offers the truth, not the meaning of life. To many fans, that is not enough. Ultimately, these movies depend on you. Are you sure you want to take the red pill?
