The final chapter of the Matrix saga proves to be very confusing.

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2005)

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving This movie and Reloaded are actually really just one movie cut into two big pieces, so even if you didn't watch the first movie, you have to watch the second one for this one to make sense. I mean, Reloaded even ends with the words "To be concluded" flashing across the screen.
Revolutions picks up right where Reloaded left off, with Neo (Reeves) in a coma and Bane on the table next to him. At this point we don't know who Bane is, unless we paid REALLY close attention in Reloaded. I won't reveal his identity because I don't do reviews with spoilers.
So anyway, they got Neo to the source but the war is still going because he chose to save Trinity (Moss) instead of doing what he was supposed to do. Awwww, how sweet. But now he's stuck in some strange coma after stopping five sentinels in the real world just by holding out his hand. The thing about this coma though, is that his brain waves look like the brain waves of somebody who is connected to the matrix. How can that be, if he isn't plugged into anything? Hmmm Turns out he's in some sort of middle ground. He's at the train station, a middle ground between the program world and the matrix. He can't get out of it unless somebody comes and gets him though. And of course, the Merovingian is the one who has control over the train station. So Morpheus (Fishburne) and Trinity head out for a chat with Merv to get her man back. Then a quick stop over at the Oracle, who has changed her form, and back to the real world for some time to think. It's funny this is still a Matrix movie since very little of the movie is spent in the matrix.
After taking a little time to think, Neo comes to the conclusion that he has to take a ship to the machine city. He isn't sure why or what he can do when he gets there, but he just knows that's where he has to go. And he knows he probably won't be coming back. Obviously Trinity volunteers to go with him, and they take Naobi's ship out there. There is an encounter with Bane and his identity is revealed, but like I said, I'm not saying who he is.
Back in Zion, the machines are getting ever closer to their precious city and the time of their last stand is drawing near. Neo eventually gets to the machine city and is jacked into the matrix for one last final confrontation with Smith (Weaving) The rest you'll just have to see for yourself. Still a good movie, though not as good as the first or the second.
Bottom Line: 3 out of 4 (worth watching)
