The Matrix Revolutions

The original Matrix was full of dizzying surprises. But it's turned out that the Wachowskis didn't have many more tricks up their sleeves.

Finale with same heavy violence, weaker script.

Zzzzzz.

''Everything that has a beginning has an end,' says the tag line. Not in financial terms it doesn't.'

The Matrix Revolutions is where I sadly fell out of love with the whole exotic franchise

The Wachowskis may have something in their theory that the world is simply a complex operating system humans are simply virtual programs.... Their dialogue feels written by a computer program, and for that matter acted by a collection of CGI figures.

Perhaps it’s wrong and narrow-minded to hope that the Wachowskis would only live up to their original film, but their brand of mythology expansion narrows the possibilities and limits the viewer’s enjoyment of this universe.

Just as much as the last entry was a piece of a story, this one is a fragment, telling so little of the yarn that it’s the least complex and most inessential of the series, save for the fact that it finally wraps up character loose ends.

There are things to like in the opening moments and the final showdown but the rest is either dull or visually unappealing CG bullet-fest scenes... or both, I guess.
