Great atmosphere, thrilling action

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2003)

No Spoilers Here
To start off for anyone who immediately wants to know at which point of the Matrix ladder I think this film stands, it's the second best, with Reloaded as the worst Matrix movie.
The plot: Pretty good. Although the main plot is pretty predictable, the plots underneath the main one are really great, and hold some great, new ideas, instead of the somewhat cliché ideas in Reloaded (which were great, too). All questions you have will be answered, but the great spiritual mystery luckily holds up, and remain unanswered, unless you are really into Buddhism/Gnosticism.
Action: The action feels very fresh, and is at some points revolutionary. 'Matrix (Reloaded)'-like action is not repeated at all. Very fluid fights, great mechanical action, and oh so much suspense, which Reloaded really missed. Where Reloaded was eyepopping action (just for fun), Revolutions has brutal, more pure action. Really thrilling.
Dialogue: Again, this is what sci-fi guys are worst at. The dialogue IS very good, except when it comes to love n stuff. It feels dry, sometimes depthless. But, fear not, the love story itself is strong enough to support the less dialogue, and so, it does not matter. All the other dialogue is, well, excellent, superb. Some memorable quotes here.
Tilt: This is really the first Matrix movie where you really get sucked into the universe of it all. Don't get me wrong, I got sucked into The Matrix '99 as well, but more in an coolness kind of way, like: 'Wow that is so cool, I wanna do that.' But this movie gets you deeper, because of the lighting and great film angles.
A must-see ofcourse, for any of those who want to know the end. Despite some really disappointing dialogue, which occurs only a few times, the movie is great, the action is great, the special effects are the best I've ever seen, this film is almost a classic.
