An educated take on Matrix Revolutions.

Rating: 5/10 (10 November 2003)

Matrix: Revolutions feels more like Matrix Reloaded: Part 2. And here's why.

[POSSIBLE GENERAL SPOILER(S) AHEAD]
In the original Matrix, our story ends with a newly-freed Neo coming to the realization of what and who he really is.
In Matrix Reloaded, our story ends with the realization that there might possibly be 2 Matrices. That is, one matrix within another. Simply another system of control. One Matrix to house and heard the minds of the masses - those who remain unaware of the hoax, and one Matrix to control and heard those who, in their very nature, rebel against protocol and 'the system'.

In Matrix Revolutions - NOTHING HAPPENS. For 2 hours and 10 minutes. All we see is the degradation of storyline. While Matrix Reloaded at the very least contributed to the furthering of the plot and story, Matrix Revolutions ignores the main characters almost entirely, instead retreating to the scenario as a whole - leaving it's viewers utterly confused. While the effects were stunning, and the action sequences (with the exception of a few) were breathtaking - no questions were answered, no loose ends tied up, and no explanations provided. At the end, we're all left to wonder what we just spent our money and time doing.
In Conclusion: Matrix Revolutions was a phenomenal Part 2 to Reloaded. However, the answers, if there even are any at this point, are still yet to come. In my opinion, Part 3 of the Matrix has not arrived yet. Many of us sit in fear, chewing our nails, simply waiting to see how badly the brothers can possibly flush their seemingly-flawless brainchild down the toilet in any more of a wasteful way.
Overall: An immeasurable disappointment from the most unlikely of sources.
