Sheer Brilliance

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2004)

The Matrix franchise is about religious and philosophical oneliners mixed with grinding action, all set in a disturbing, dark dystopian future. This one delivers the good on an apocalyptic & explosive scale!
Pseudo intellectuals or nerd types move along, the roller coaster ride is gorgeously rough and fast paced and will have the best of you. If you appreciated a movie like Terminator 3, you'll greatly enjoy this one as well.
Action simply doesn't get any better than this. The action is insanely intense, fueled by dense, hardcore chaotic battle scenes in this breathtaking chapter of the Matrix trilogy.
The dialogs are brief and casual, which is what offended the pseudo intellectual types out there. Reminder here, this isn't a book by Renee Descartes or Dostoevsky, it's an action flick.
The events that unfold are of a miraculous nature, they have to be experienced to be understood, they are beyond words or explanations. Nobody in the movie ever gives a lengthy speech or enlighten you as to their true meaning. You have to come up with those answers yourself, which is what annoyed the critics of this movie.
The plot is simple to grasp without having Morpheus making a speech either during half the movie, as was covered previously in the first chapter, for those who missed it. The initial 40 mns of this movie unfold slowly and quietly, which is the only possible downside to this otherwise extraordinaire epic undertaking.
This is a truly hardcore, sanguine, explosive, overwhelmingly brilliant conclusion to this great trilogy. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a trip to a dark future world *none* of us would want to ever live in.

Belongs in the top 10 of best action movies ever made. A must see. 8.5/10
