Summary: The Best Science Fiction Film Trilogy
Review: Unequivocally the best science fiction series ever created. Those who haven't taken the time to really understand what is going on in the 1st & 2nd films will be confused & possibly let down by the ending of the 3rd film, but that is the sacrifice the Watchoswky brothers had to make in order to produce a story of this quality. If you followed the 1st & 2nd film, and preferably have seen the Animatrix, the 3rd is an incredible triumph and the Watchowsky brothers are to be hailed for having created such an inspiring, thought-provoking, phenomenal series. The ending is perfect. An amazing piece of work. I will say it again, and I do not say this lightly - this is the best science fiction film trilogy to have ever been created.

Summary: Thoughts and Ruminations
Review: It's amazing how the Warchowski brothers stayed true to their philosophy throughout all three Matrix movies. We realize early in the Matrix that the Oracle can only guide you to "the path", you are always required to make a choice. As the Architect states in Reloaded, the Oracle is an intuitive program designed to examine the human psychie. Through her examination she learns to appreciate the attributes of the human "spirit", and concludes that when given a choice, humans generally choose the "right" coarse. In contrast, the programs are driven by purpose, as each program is created to perform certain responsibilities. She realizes that machines and humans are co-dependent, as the machines artificial intelligence will never be capable of simulating the human spirit, and thus she strives to end the machine-human war. She does this by perpetuating the "unbalanced equation" through several generations of the Matrix, until a specific set of circumstances arises, through a series of human "choices" (guided by the Oracle), that would bring peace. Realizing that the battle between Neo and Agent Smith is inevitable, she allows herself to be merged with the Smith program. The confused look on Smith's face during the cloning of the Oracle indicates that the process did not go as he expected, and likely a residual of her program was implanted in Smith, similar to Smith's implanting into Bane after his exit from the Matrix. Thus, during the climactic fight scene between Neo and Smith, his attempt to clone Neo results in the melding of the residual Oracle program with Neo thereby deleting/destroying all remnants of the Smith program. As far as Neo's assumed powers outside of the Matrix, after his encounter with the Architect within the Source, he remains partially, perpetually "jacked in". This allows him limited ability to "hack" any programs connected to the source, e.a, sentinals, and "bombs". His apparent ability to see the machines after being blinded by Bane/Smith, is accounted for by his continuing link to the source. But then again, I'm just a Matrix fanatic. :)

Summary: Without a DOUBT, check it OUT!
Review: Basically, the movie rocks. I have seen a ton of action/kung-fu/anime type movies and this one really delivers on all fronts. There were so many tangents on the second film, that it is actually nice that you reach an actual ending in Revolutions, unlike so many art noueveau movies today. What is interesting to me is that contrary to popular belief, you can actually see this movie spawning more, but I won't give that away. But I will say this, if you are a DBZ fan (Dragon Ball Z) you can really see how some scenes were taken from anime type movies towards the end. Woo hoo!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BUY ANIMATRIX, AS IT SETS YOU UP FOR THIS MOVIE!!
OK, well buy it and hopefully there will be a 4th film. Or at least a second Animatrix. I'm banking on it.

Summary: Stay Home-- Watch TV Instead
Review: Why is it that stuff on television are written so much better than in the movies? I watched Matrix Revolutions opening night absolutely excited for whats to come. Sadly, I was so dissapointed -- I had expected so much more from the writers of the film. The last of the Matrix series did not deliver. It lacked the awesome story line I expected from the previous films. Don't get me wrong -- it was action packed and the special effects were fantastic but at the end i did not feel that the characters were tied together. I think part of the reason why the story did not hold as well was because it was spread too thin. The producers released animatrix and the video game which had some answers as to how the matrix all began -- but since it was already marketed for the dvd and the game it was not included in the story line of the film. My personal opinion is that they put so much effort in making a hollywood blockbuster with the actions sequences that the soul of the movie was lost.

Summary: the sinking ship
Review: Ill give it to the W brothers, they really know how to suck the money out of the gullible american public. If you really dont want me to spoil this for you than stop reading now. First of all the Matrix took the movie industry and America by storm with the release of the first one in 99. The second was good, but not as good as the first. It had the potential of becoming a very great movie trilogy. But that fell real short, thanks to the third installment. I thought that Trinitys death was very shallow, and of course so was Neos. I know he ended up saving Zion, but only to make a temporary deal for peace? C'mon, that was such a cop out considering that neo was supposed to be the "One", or the Messiah to save Mankind. I would have bought it if Trinity didnt die, and she was pregnant with Neos child. But the way she died was just shallow. Neo saves her in the second film, only to die in the third? One of my biggest nit pik is that when Neo was fighting Smith I felt that Neo wasnt using his full potential. In the first one after Smith shoots him and he gets up, to find out hes the One, he moves with lightning fast speed. Where was that power when he was fighting Smith? He just gave up and agreed with Smith and let him assimilate him. "It is inevitable". If they actually come out with a 4th one(which it wont be the same without Neo, or Trinity), it just wont have the same Oomph. But then it just leaves it open "Did Neo really die?". When his body is being carted off by the Machines, it looked like you were seeing it through the way Neo viewed things, all in orange(like how he saw Smith through the human disguise).

Summary: What Excitement
Review: Wow... I just went to opening night and I'll be darned if my heart rate was normal for more than thirty seconds. That movie just didn't stop! Today I was checking out some of the reviews, who pays those guys to write that stuff. Trust me, its well worth the couple of bucks for the hours of entertainment! Im sure to see it again, you couldn't possibly (like the first two) see everything the first time! Favorite Movies! Way to go Wachowski Bros!

Summary: Awsome!!
Review: ... Revolutions is better than the first two combined. It has everything fans want.I saw it yesterday and was completely blown away by it. The fight scene at the end between Neo and Smith is incredible! The Wachowski brothers did a great job on this one. So take my advice and go check it out for yourself.

Summary: How do you make a bad actor look ok? Blind him!
Review: This movie is terrible. Don't even bother with it. The trilogy fell flatter than a corn flake. It goes to show you that special effects don't make a movie. After watching this ..., it made want to install mechwarrior on my computer and take control of the action rather than sit stupid and act intelligent trying to decipher the "riddles" in the show. The only riddle unansewered for me is, What were they thinking?...

Summary: Pour a little Liqqa out for my homies :(
Review: Well I ran out and saw it immediately and I was some what dissapointed. I can't give any spoilers because it just came out yesterday and I want to give others the opportunity to make up their own minds. If I had to do it over again I wouldn't pay regular price to see it NO. What I didn't like was the same old rhetorical speeches, the monotone dialogue that gets on the nerves. The explanation of the entire series we expected to be wrapped up and make some sense to us but alas...I still walked out of their scratching my head (or perhaps slapping my forehead) thinking okay but what about...? A large majority of the movie takes place in Zion and therefore do not expect all the [fighting] scenes from previous installments. There are 3 good fightings sequences -- (1) with Morpheous, Trinity and the Oracle's protector (I think his name is Serapher??)(2) was Neo and the Dude who Smith infiltrated in Zion and (3) was Neo and Anderson in the Matrix. Other than those 3 scenes don't come looking for those [awesome fight] sequences that you come to love and expect from {{The Matrix}} I didn't like the long gaps without Neo and Trinity but I guess that is the way the story was supposed to go so that may not bother most movie watchers. There is plenty of "Mombo Jumbo" of words between all characters you know the.... person #1 "Why did I make this choice?"
person #2 "You know why you made this choice"
person #1 "Did you know why I made this choice"
person #2 "No, but I knew that you would choose what you needed at the time you had to make the choice" URGH!! What I did like, well I always like the relationship between Trinity and Neo this movie does justice to that and then some... I'm happy that they didn't push that to the way side, althought I think at the core of this movie is how much Neo needed Trinity and how far she was willing to go for him. I liked watching Zion defend itself that was pretty cool, I liked the special effects (although at times I got quite dizzy... you'll understand when you see the movie)I liked (some what) the way it ended our Hero is our Hero and LOVE goes on. Unfortunately that is all I can say without giving to much away. Respectfully Reviewed
