Summary: "The Matrix Revolutions"
Review: "The Matrix" films were a lot of fun, and this triology will be remembered for a long time. Our kids will be watching these three movies! Each film has something differant about it that will make it cherished forever. The first movie in the series, "The Matrix", had a fantastic plot and origional comcepts with compelling drama and action! The second film, "The Matrix Reloaded", was in my opinion more fun than the first, even though you could not fully understand the plot with out seeing the third film, but the action was fantastic and plentiful. Now for the third film, "The Matrix Revolutions". Some people complain that this was a bad movie and I really hate it when thy do, because it is not! They did not like the battle, well hello what did you expect a negoations between humans and machines! There had to be a battle because they said it ever since the first movie! You can also tell by the title! Revolutions! The second and third films in this series were very missunderstood and I have no idea why, they fit like puzzle peices with the first! This is a great series and I recomend it to everyone! "The Matrix" is available now on DVD.
"The Matrix Reloaded" is available now on DVD.
"The Matrix Revolutions" is available APRIL 6TH on DVD
(And I love the cover art, someone said they thought is lazy, whatever!)

Summary: A great ending that takes more than one viewing to get.
Review: The Matrix Revolutions is, like the Matrix Reloaded, a dense film. There is so much information and hidden subtext that to really understand it takes more than one viewing. It is a great ending to a great trilogy. If you love the Matrix films, this DVD is a must have!

Summary: A good end to the Matrix trilogy.
Review: Many will argue and debate that there shouldn't have even been a Matrix trilogy, I'm not going into that here, because if you're reading this, you're at least interested in the movies. Revolutions picks up immediately after the ending of Reloaded, and does much to combat the pain many of us felt after seeing Reloaded. Basically, Neo is stuck in a sort of Netherworld, neither the "real world", nor the Matrix, and Trinity is tapped to get him out. Meanwhile, the Machines are coming to Zion, in massive force, while Zion prepares for the attack. During all of this Agent Smith is rapidly taking over everyone plugged into the Matrix, thus becoming even more powerful. The movie climaxes in a massive battle between the Machines and Zion, and between Neo and Smith. And now, on to at least my opinion of it. No, it's not the original, but it succeeds where Reloaded failed (these two movies should have been 1 long movie anyways). There's far more character work in this film than in Reloaded. It's emotionally satisfying, even if the outcome isn't exactly the one you were expecting. The paceing is pretty rapid, there's very little that seems extraneous, and the CGI and action in the battle for Zion is simply jaw-dropping. There's also a lot of closure in this film, for the characters, for the main story, and for us the viewing audience. It's a pretty damned good movie, even if you're not a Matrix fan, and I'd definitely recommend it to a friend.

Summary: Let me just say
Review: That is the worst possible cover art they could have chosen for this film. Talk about Lazy. Good thing the features are much more plentiful than in the matrix reloaded two disc set. But a box set is inevitable it seems so make your purchase decisions wisely.

Summary: The right end
Review: The general critical consensus was that the third Matrix film was a failure: it "failed" to do anything new, it "repeated" the "formulas" of the other films, that it ultimately wound up as "little more" than a B-war movie. Well, guess what, friends: if anyone had really paid attention to the first film, you would have gotten the clear message that, actually, it WAS about an impending war. In fact, the third film really could not have been anything else than what it was - the logical conclusion to the various threads set up in the first two films. It is not always necessary to look for newer, better cheap thrills - this is one of the curses of our present culture. What is necessary is to complete the story correctly - and, personally, I think that's exactly what has been given in this film. One can debate the totality of the films' various "philosophical" and "mystical" animae - but, for me, the enjoyment of all three derives from the totality of its architecture, the completeness of its vision. I'm not really interested in searching for "deep meanings" from comic books "come to life." I take the three films together as a remarkably congent fantasy - done with much tongue-in-cheek. Shakespeare or Pirandello or Henry James it isn't - but, then again, neither is Flash Gordon, Star Wars or even the LOTR cycle for all of that series' gravitas. So, in the end, one should just sit back and enjoy one of the better fantasy film series of recent years - don't look for hidden meanings that aren't there. All the elements work together at their own level.

Summary: Everything that has an ending is good
Review: Most people seem to be dissapointed in this film for some reason or another. Upon hearing these grievances prior to watching the film, I've become immune to its flaws (Ha ha!! I'm the only person I know who actually LIKES this film!!!!). The characters are as well portrayed as before, if not moreso. It's interesting to see how the machine programs have become more human. But there's no further development on them. The acting is the same as before. The story itself is what really matters for the film. It doesn't have as much action as "Reloaded," but the battle of Zion is definately worth seeing. It's a twenty-minute extravaganza of flying machines, pummels crashing through everything, APUs marching around, and missiles flying everywhere. There's also Neo's fight with Bane, which is one of the more brilliant parts of the film. It's a suspenseful scene that also allows Neo to evolve. Directly afterwards is Neo and Trinity's desparate flight to Machine City, and Neo's battle with Agent Smith, where the directors utilize their awesome cinematography skills for the climax. I do have to say that the climax of the film is not what I've been expecting. From the beginning, I always got the impression that Neo would destroy the machines from their source. Ultimately, however, the ending that "Revolutions" has is more logical. The conflicts are resolved in a way that allows mankind to make a choice for itself (and without wiping out mankind). It's as if the equasions of the film are balancing themselves out. The ending is ultimately a sacriligious one. Neo gives his life to save humanity. This idea is complimented with imagery that makes Neo look divine in his death. The final scene makes the inference that Neo may return. I doubt that a fourth Matrix film will ensue, but I'm thinking that they'll produce a Matrix TV show, thus allowing the franchise to reach every venue of media. Neo and Trinity may yet return, although I'm remaining skeptical about it, but it may be possible that the machines will heal and resurrect them. With an open mind and without reservations, this final chapter of the Matrix trilogy may be enjoyable, particuarly for fans. But you'd have to see it for yourself.

Summary: The Greatest Trilogy Ever
Review: This will be the most wanted dvd this year, after the reloaded comes the revolution, this dvd will include incredible footage and special features like: • Future Gamer The Matrix Online - An introduction to the massive multi-player game The Matrix Online, created by the Wachowski Brothers. • 3-D Evolution- Transition to different levels of the Matrix to view concept art, storyboards, pre-visualizations and realizations for several elements in Revolutions. • Before the Revolution - 3-D timeline of the concurrent story development occurring in the Matrix between the Matrix trilogy, The Animatrix, and Enter the Matrix. Will be a 2 disc edition, so there will be more hours of matrix. (This is my first amazon review, so sorry for my bad english)

Summary: Lots of effects, very little depth
Review: Despite what was said, there's no way that this series was originally planned to be a trilogy IMHO - the differences between the original Matrix film and parts 2&3 make it difficult to believe that the latter were anything other than a hurried, soul-less money grab. Perhaps if 2&3 had been combined and edited down into one tight script I might have been more inclined to believe these pre-existed - but not as they are. IMHO 'Reloaded' was probably the worst film I've ever seen, in every regard: script; acting; editing; direction; effects; you name it... (though there's fierce competition from "Attack of the Clones"). Then came 'Revolutions' and it was not much better. If you are the sort that's only interested in extended high-impact action sequences, and aren't too bothered about a decent story or great characterisation, then this is probably the film for you. As for myself, I just can't be persuaded that I should give a toss about characters I only met 2 minutes ago and know nothing of - and as a result the film lacks any dramatic or emotional tension what-so-ever. In short: don't waste your time, energy or money on this shallow garbage.

Summary: "No . . . but I believed."
Review: Thought the weakest entry in "The Matrix" Triology, "The Matrix Revolutions" is still a highly-entertaining film with great action and a mediocre story.
The plot finds Neo (Keanu Reeves), Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), and the Zionites still fighting a never-ending battle against the Machines. Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) still wears that infamous smirk, and the Oracle (Mary Alice replacing the late Gloria Foster) still chain-smokes and bakes cookies.
Despite all its superbly-choreographed fight scenes and mind-blowing computer graphics, "Revolutions" fails in its way of telling the story. The biggest problem I had with was its climax. It really should've ended with Neo defeating the Machines and Agent Smith(s) at the same time. That "treaty" crap made me frown. Trinity's death was somewhat laughable. Hugo Weaving's acting (while excellent in the first two installments) was pathetically whiny.
Still, "The Matrix Revolutions" is a worthy film. It's entertaining. It'll keep your blood pumping. Even if the ending was a major letdown. Maybe the filmmakers denied considering a sequel, you know they're gonna do it--I believe.
