Rating: Summary: Philosophical nature still exists, but action leads the way Review: I've got to say I'm really surprised at the amount of bad reviews for this movie. I think this one is AS GOOD as the first one, which is a surprise after watching reloaded. The action scenes are just long enough to be absolutely amazing, without getting redundant (Except perhaps the last fight scene). The battle in Zion is far more interesting than I ever could have imagined (After being in the Matrix, I would of thought reality would be boring.. not so). The intensity is such that the visuals and story become literally jaw dropping, as was my state during about 1/3rd of the movie. There are some painful drama scenes, and is it just me or is no one entertained by Trinity's and Neo's fake relationship? No matter, the positives of this movie are so grand that the negatives can not hold the movie down enough to be anything less than a success. There are still some deep comments here, but they are hidden deeper than were the messages in the first Matrix. Perhaps a few more viewings are in order. This movie has moments of pure beauty, drama, action, and humor that will surely be worth the price of admission. And when it's over, you'll be craving another viewing of the first two movies too.
Rating: Summary: Everything and more Review: The Matrix has me! I have followed this trilogy since it's start and I have completely understood the meanings behind this movie. To follow it correctly you need to have seen every aspect of the story in the Animatrix, The Matrix, Reloaded, Enter the Matrix(Game), Revolutions. What a finish! The story is extremely deep and the action is awesome. This final movie left me feeling fulfilled and amazed. This story is about love, trust and belief in the greater good. This has been the best ride of my life since Star Wars! ***** Five Stars!
Rating: Summary: The Matrix Revolutions is spectacular! Review: I've just come from seeing Revolutions and the only thing I can think to say is, "WOW!" It's been a long time since I was so gripped by a movie. The Matrix Revolutions really grabs you and doesn't let go.The film was honestly better then I expected, and I had high expectations. But to be fair, this really is a film for those who have invested in the first two films of the series. It's not enough to simply have seen the first two films, but a decent comprehension of the underlying themes (especially those presented in Reloaded) is necessary to really take away all Revolutions has to offer. This film picks up exactly where Reloaded left off. The first 30-minutes or so is all drama and dialogue without any action whatsoever. I've heard complaints about this, but it really is necessary to set up what is to come. Once all that's done with, and the various characters set out on their various paths, the movie is all down hill. That is to say, like the drop on a rollercoaster, not that it loses quality. Indeed, you may feel your stomach in your chest as the intensity builds to levels rarely seen in movies before. Unlike the previous Matrix films, this film rarely takes place within that artificial reality. This is a film about humanity, specifically those in Zion, and their last battle against the Machines. Even Neo, the savior of humanity, has less screen time than in either of the previous two films. In Revolutions we finally see Neo for what he represents to mankind rather than simply an all powerful "super man" character. In Revolutions we understand that Neo is a savior not because of what he "can" do, but because of what he "choosess" to do. The film's two set pieces feature an epic battle between Zionists and the sentinel army that is so epic that it defies understanding, and a final showdown between Neo and his adversary, Smith who's grown even more powerful than Neo. Undoubtedly these two scenes will be the highlight of many mainstream goers, and certainly they are worth the price of admission alone just to see. But the real power to this film is in the ending that is sure to leave many people scratching their heads. It's unfortunate that many people will likely be confused by the film's ending, but those who've been following along will come to realize that it is the only conclusion that is really possible. It's extremely difficult to talk about this film without spoiling it, but let's just say that the Wachowski's definately understand that kicking butt, even though it looks cool, is not what makes a hero. The Matrix Revolutions is much different in style and story than the original Matrix, but it is also the perfect conclusion to what happens after Neo hangs up the phone at the end of the first film.
Rating: Summary: Matrix Revolution was kool but the ending Review: ok people!! please dont judge the film on the ending which made no sence wat so ever!! the film up to that was one of the best matrix's i have ever seen maybe not at good as the first but better then reloaded!! dont give up on the matrix yet so it was a bad ending ok that destoryed the whole 3 films and personal i wanted neo to take over the matrix or something and trinity dieing was out of order but thats the way things are and we cant change it now!!! i love the matrix please dont judge all 3 films by one bad ending. Rating: Summary: It was an ending, sort of Review: I enjoyed the movie, but it was definitely what I expected at all. I don't want to give anything away. You have to see it for yourself. (...)
Rating: Summary: Perfect Conclusion!! Review: Ahhh- I really can't fathom the idea that people are walking away from this in disappointment.. What more are people expecting? Lemme guess - answers, right? Don't be afraid to use your brains, people; some things are worth pondering. People also have to get over this expectation that the sequels should outshine the original. Face it people, YOU LEARNED WHAT THE MATRIX IS IN THE 1ST MOVIE! THAT PART IS OVER NOW. To those who are anticipating that LOTR: Return of the King is going to be tonnes better... It's not. I've read the lotr books many a time and as much as I like the story, what is the 3rd film going to have going for it? Good, Evil, War, Peace, Love.. All the same fundamentals except no thinking or insight required. I'll pay to see Return of the King and love it, but not as much as I've loved this Matrix trilogy! Also, untouchable effects!!
Rating: Summary: An absolutley amazing moive! Review: Ok, first of all I have read many of the reviews here. Honestly I think most of you don't give Matrix Revolutions the credit is deserves and you guys are even giving bad reviews to Matrix Reloaded. I went to the very first showing at 6am and I actaully saw the movies twice on opening day. The visual effects are absolutely amazing, the 3rd installment fills in everything that was missing from the 2nd movie, and the fight scenes in this last installment were very inventive and choreagraphed very well. But this may not be the last movie in the series (myself and many others hope not) because the Wachowski brothers conlcluded the war, but they left it open to other installments. Yes, even though our be-loved Trinity dies just means that it gave Neo more of a reason to fight and defeat Agent Smith. Every great story (fiction or non-fiction) involves tragedy. This is why Trinity dies. This movie has fullfilled all my expectations and I am very satisfied with how it was portrayed. I recommend this movie to all who are Matrix or sci-fi fans. This is my favorite sci-fi series of all time. Star wars is a total bomb since the newest installments. If you want good action, special effects, story-line, and a well scripted movie; go and see this ASAP.
Rating: Summary: I will go see it again Review: I will try and review this without giving away too much of the story line. I had an appointment with a friend to go see the movie this coming Friday, but when I walked past the cinemas yesterday, I just could not wait that long.
The movie starts of at a relatively sedated pace without any answers to the sudden twist at the end of Reloaded. But if you are an action fan, don't worry, it picks up. And you get relatively straightforward answers. The movie mostly starts out in the matrix and then moves to the real world and the city of Zion. The action builds up to the fever pitch battle for Zion. Some other reviewers think their questions were answered and others leave with more questions than answers. I feel it is an honestly good movie, with an end that you could not foresee and that you have to watch at least a second time to get more answers than questions. I for one like it that way. It is a movie that keeps you at the edge of your seat with action sequences, plot spinning and an end that keeps you guessing. I will still honour my appointment to go see it (again) this coming Friday.
Rating: Summary: Best Movie Ever Review: Plain and simple. This was the best movie in the history of cinema. Enough was left to the imagination, but enough was explained. I spent the entire movie rooting for people so minor they weren't even given names. The entire existance of the human race seemed to rely on Neo's very breath. It was an absolute triumph.
Rating: Summary: I am so bored and so dissapointed... Review: Eye candy. I am so tired of simplistic, gigawatt, eye candy. Can you believe it? I adored the first film. Thought the second one was a good example of what happens when a filmaker(x2) is handed too much money... and the third? Most people on this site have a better grasp of writing than the twits that spun this monstrosity. Yes, pretty to look at. Yes, I've grown fond of Morpheus, Trinity and Neo... but if the Matrix (Original) was a sci-fi fan's dream come true, this trash represents what a good sci-fi fan hates: limited vision and imagination. A saga? Yes, if you decide to stick to what you saw possible after seeing the first one. Let your own imagination show you what could have been... Now usually one watches a film to forget about reality and submerse oneself in someone else's life... Tonight I'm going to watch a good movie to forget the trash I just saw... As for you 10 out of 10ers, rent a Hayao Miyazaki film... or Indiana Jones! Or read Neuromancer, or anyhing by Philip K. Dick...
