Spiritual, magestic, and all wrapped up.

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2003)

First thing I'd like to say is that anyone who says this movie is plotless, or has no direction, or just completely didn't like it because it's not like the first one really didn't understand the movie. If the brother's wanted to make a movie just like the first one, it wouldn't be a sequel, would it?

Now, I loved this movie because it makes you think. It's a movie that makes you think about it for a long time after you leave the theater. I guess some people don't like that, they want it all spelled out for them, which is done very nicely in the first movie. The second two actually make you think. They are more spiritual, and existential. I was very impressed with the death scene. There was an actual emotional connection, and maybe it's because Keanu's eyes are covered, who knows, I beleived it. I noticed most complaints are because things aren't spelled out for them. The ending of this movie lets you think about what happens next. I felt that the machines carried 'The One' away, almost ceremoniously. It took a little while before I realized that Smith had copied EVERYONE. The last exile did have a purpose, and she made the purpose clear in the end. I thought it to be a fantastic plot twist for Neo to fight for everyone, the programs which he knew 'felt' emotions now, the machines who didn't want to die, and all the humans. As it ended, I felt very satisfied. It was over. No, they don't wrap things up good and tidy and explain what happens after it's all over, but who cares. I have a real problem with the people who didn't like the movie because the plot didn't follow the direction they thought it should go. You didn't write the movie, you didn't make the movie, someone else did, so take it as they wrote it. When you're done watching the movie that these artists created, go write your own version, and get it made. Sorry you didn't like it. I was beleiving in the 'two matrix' theory after the second movie too. But that is completely cleaned up by Neo and The Oracle. If you missed that part of the movie, you should go see it again. I though all of the questions were answered very well. Neo isn't only the 'anomaly' he's actually the ONE, the one that brings it all together. Very spritual and almost evolutionary. I guess if you don't feel like thinking, don't go see this. If you're easily confused, you're probably not going to like it, just see it again, or buy the DVD, one day, it may come to you. It's obviously not your purpose.
