Quite a disappointing finale

Rating: 7/10 (8 September 2017)

Starting from the moment the second film ended, this one presents the final part of the war between humans and machines. Struggling between the real world and The Matrix, Neo must do what he believes is right, after a few visits to the Oracle, in his desperate attempt to avoid an imminent human extinction. Between them infiltrates former agent Smith, more powerful than ever, threatening even the mighty machine.
This movie brings the conclusion to this trilogy, and, like the others, looking simply gorgeous and featuring impressive combat sequences, while, in contrast, struggling with a story which leaves a lot to wish for. As a disappointment for me, they tend to focus much more on the real world, leaving the Matrix fewer chances to impress you. The finale it brings is also a letdown, but I won't spoil it, just in case. Another complaint I have has to do with the citizens of Zion, which, mostly because of the plot, seem to be as stupid as they are numerous. They are facing extinction, they don't believe in Neo and all they are willing to do is stand there and pray to hell knows who, let alone doing something remotely useful. It's a sad ending to such a franchise, from my perspective, but overall, it isn't a bad movie. You have to see it for yourself.
