MCT:August 24, 2008I didn't really care for Reloaded, but from the trailers, it looked like Revolutions would be a step in the right direction.
It kind of was. The plot this time around is worse than it was in the second... and that's saying something.
But these movies, let's face it, have always been about the action, and to me, Revolutions was much better than Reloaded.
Except... the final fight bugged the hell out of me.
I think the tension they built, Neo and Smith talking in the rain. Oh, fantastic. The anger, the climax, both actors at their peak.
This is going to be one awesome fight.
Its pouring rain, the two charge at each other, the music roars. Da da da da!
Then they lightly tap each other and the nose and they go flying.
The fight sequence that followed was surely cool, but it could have been a lot better.
Why is it that every time someone in these kinds of movies gets hit, it makes a pathetic noise and they don't seem to care? As well choreographed as it was, you can tell it was choreographed, like it was a dance not a fight.
They needed a bit more aggression in it, the words spoken before were better than the kicks.
And the slow mo punch to the face...
Yeah.
Anyway, the action prior to the scene, pretty freaking cool. -
MCT:August 21, 2008Stupid and boring. Was anything in the movie not done in CGI?
"What you think you know, you don't. Are you here, are we here? What is the answer? Only you know the answer, but what you think it is, is really not. When you think you know, think about what it would be like to not really know. I believe in you, do you believe in yourself. You are the one, but only you know if you're the one that can save us."
SHUT UP Morpheus. Some one the worst writing ever. -

It's not the best movie of the trilogy, and I must admit I was a bit confused in the end, but I liked it anyway

MCT:August 15, 2008My admiration for "The Matrix Revolutions" is limited only by the awkward fact that I don't much give a damn what happens to any of the characters. If I cared more about Neo, Morpheus, Niobe and the others, there'd be more fire in my heart. But my regard is more for the technical triumph of the movie, less for the emotions it evokes. Neo is no more intended to have deep psychological realism than Indiana Jones, but the thing is, I liked Indy and hoped he got out in one piece -- while my concern about Neo has been jerked around by so many layers of whether he's real or not, and whether he's really doing what he seems to be doing, that finally I measure my concern for him not in affection but more like the score in a video game.
Consider too the apocalyptic battle scene of the movie, as the vast, mechanical, all too symbolic screw of the Machines penetrates the dome of Zion and unleashes the Sentinels, nasty whiplashing octopi. The humans fight back by climbing into fearsome robotic fighting machines, so their muscles control more powerful muscles made of steel and cybernetics. Each of their surrogate arms ends in a mighty machinegun that sprays limitless streams of ammo at the enemy.
It's all well done in a technical way (the computer-generated special effects are awesome), but I'm thinking: (a) The Machines use machines, so shouldn't the humans be fighting back in a more human manner? and then (b) But it's silly of me to think in this way, because neither the humans or Machines are really there, and what we're seeing are avatars in a computer program. Who wins the battle wins the world, but the world is not what we see; what we see is a projection of the cyber-reality of the Matrix.
Or is it? See, that's where I get confused. Do humans have a separate physical reality and did they really construct Zion, that city buried deep within the earth, and is it really there, made of molecules and elements? Because if they do and if they did, then why don't the Machines just nuke them?
Why all the slithering mechanical octopi? And why, in a society that is unimaginably advanced over our own, are machineguns still used, anyway? So it would seem that the battle is a virtual battle, not a real one, and that impression is reinforced by the way the laws of physics seem to be on hold; as Niobe and Morpheus race to the rescue in their speeding ship, for example, it bounces off the walls and sheds so many vital parts that if it were a real ship, it would have crashed.
I am sure my information is flawed. No doubt I will get countless e-mails explaining or demonstrating my ignorance in tiresome detail. But the thing is: A movie should not depend on the answers to questions like this for its effect. The first "Matrix" was the best because it really did toy with the conflict between illusion and reality -- between the world we think we inhabit, and its underlying nature. The problem of "Matrix Reloaded" and "Matrix Revolutions" is that they are action pictures that are forced to exist in a world that undercuts the reality of the action.
There is, to be sure, the movie's underlying philosophy, but this grows more underwhelming as the series continues. When Neo finally sits down with the Oracle (Mary Alice) and demands the 411, what he gets is about what you'd pay 50 bucks for from a storefront Tarot reader. When the dust has settled and we all look back on the trilogy from a hype-free zone, we'll realize that the first movie inspired its fans to imagine that astonishing philosophical revelations would be made, and the series hasn't been able to live up to those anticipations. Maybe that would have been impossible. No matter how luridly the barker describes the wonders inside his tent, it's always just another sideshow.
Still, in a basic and undeniable sense, this is a good movie, and fans who have earned their credit hours with the first two will want to see this one and graduate. To the degree that I was able to put aside my questions, forget logic, disregard continuity problems and immerse myself in the moment, "The Matrix Revolutions" is a terrific action achievement. Andy and Larry Wachowski have concluded their trilogy with all barrels blazing. Their final apocalypse in the bowels of the Earth plays like "Metropolis" on steroids. There are sights here to stir the sense of wonder, and a marriage between live action and special effects that is about as good as these things get in the movies.
It's a rich irony that the story is about humans occupying a world generated by computers, and the movie consists of actors occupying a world also created by computers. Neo may or may not exist in a universe created by computers, but Keanu Reeves certainly does.
"The Matrix Reloaded" was notable for the number of key characters who are black; this time, what we notice is how many strong women there are. Two women operate a bazooka team, Niobe flies the ship, the women have muscles, they kick ass, and this isn't your grandmother's Second Sex anymore. -
MCT:August 14, 2008I've said it before, sequels aren't much to be seen these days, and this is a prime example. I understand that they had to put an end to the trilogy, but goodness. Pick a good one. This was my all time least favorite sequel, and obviously, least favorite in the trilogy.

Take all the wonder of the first Matrix, blend it with the budding mythology of the second film... Then take a crap in it, and toss it out the window. This movie ruined the second movie for me, and killed my interest in the franchise. Thank god the first one remains intact.

MCT:August 7, 2008
the mega-fight looks like something from pokemon.... it coulda been good, but i can see why everyone hates it
-
MCT:August 6, 2008
It gives you the curiousness of "what would the world be like if life was operated by computers basically and you still wanted to maintain and defend humanity. A very good movie....
-
MCT:August 5, 2008
Great special effect, Great fight scenes, umm ... umm ... thats about it. This film answered some questions, but it also asked more. wtf? One of the main characters that i love dies in a film that was never supposed to be made in the first place. The Oracle's appearane changes in a film that was nenver supposed to be made either. AND THERE'S STILL TOO MUCH BLOODY TALKING!
-
MCT:August 4, 2008not sure how to rate this one since while i was watching i was also reading a book so i only paid attention to a quarter of the movie but still come on the oracle isn't the same person anymore and no answer is given to that i guess it's because she got upgraded like she said in the second movie (sorry before writting this post i didn't knew that the actress playing the oracle died before beeing able to play in it i'm still gonna leave it tought)

MCT:August 3, 2008
Breathtaking visuals and action no where near number one, but not as bad as some seem to think. The fight scenes, oh the fight scenes!
-
MCT:August 2, 2008
Those expecting some slambang great finish were sorely disappointed in this finale mess. Really I'm not sure how it could have been worse, the only possible thing is worse effects which were quite good in the attack on Zion, but still lackluster in the fights between Smith in the Matrix.
-
MCT:July 31, 2008I can't believe I still haven't seen this, I heard it wasn't very good but I still think I need to see it to complete the story in my mind

MCT:July 31, 2008
Terrible... the Matrix Trilogy declined as each movie was released. Only the First one was worth buying or watching twice.

MCT:July 29, 2008
Neither sequel was as good as the first. Though as a Smith it was nice to see the whole family together at the end

"The Matrix Revolutions" is not a vast improvement on the mediocre first installment in the series. The only thing that saves this one, like the first movie, is the spectacular special effects.
This time, the machines attack the human resistance in their on proverbial backyard -- and almost destroy mankind once and for all. However, the biggest problem for the machines and humans is "Smith" (Hugo Weaving), a program created by the machines that has grown stronger and more dangerous to mankind and machine.
The acting is better in this movie, but it is still not perfect. I just could not believe any performance.
Another problem with the characters is the development of the ones introduced in this movie. You don't learn anything, if at all, about these people.
The first movie was shot with a much darker tone than this one. Although grays and blacks were heavily used in everything from scenery to wardrobe, there was much brighter lighting in this movie.
You have to be a fan of the trilogy to enjoy this movie -- which I am not. It could be a lot better than it is. -
MCT:July 27, 2008definitely a mistake. had the Wachowski's gone with the original plan of making 'Reloaded' and 'Revolutions' as one film, they may have had a decent follow-up to the first film, however this film is just a disaster. i suppose the effects/visuals are well done though.
-
MCT:July 24, 2008Wow. Where can I begin with the Matrix?! I loved all of these movies. This was a great way to end things. Fantastic story. Unbelievable film!
-
MCT:July 23, 2008
So many bad mouthed this film but it was just amazing and deep it's part of a trilogy that had to be told and I loved it!
-
MCT:July 20, 2008Awesome movie.
Great special effects and a plot line that although is complicated is still to die for -
MCT:July 19, 2008
The best science fiction movie ever made. Best fight scene ever (brought me to tears just because of pure excitement!). Breathtaking visuals and action.
98/100 -
MCT:July 19, 2008
Nowhere near as "zeitgeist" perfect as the original.However, continued the arcs intelligently and enjoyed its contrived complexities and philosophical conundrums. Nice to see "future noir"even if it is a sequel. Pity about what happened next..sheesh!
-
MCT:July 17, 2008
ok i love the first two matrix movies...but i was disappointed in this one. i hated the ending....bur i think maybe theyre leaving it open for a 4th movie?

The three movies are of a very deep and spiritual conflict of man and his false illusionary world created by the mind (matrix), the struggle within to see the real while the mind continues to push forward the false illusion. The first thing said to Neo upon his escape and boarding of the hovercraft "welcome to the real world". He see's the first glimps of the real and over time is able to mound himself and his mind to overcome the Matrix or mind. There is more in these three movies than most people will ever see, as it is just far to much for those who live there lives in total illusion to see what the 3 movies are showing people. There depth to it, as there is in the source, the deeper a person looks, the more there is. I know this is heavy, this is the real message that most people miss, most see it as a action movie only, they miss the real and in turn dismiss it as crap.

First movie was about Neo's beggining (birth), the second barraged you with baffling action and a deep storyline that truly makes you reveal in an entirely different world,(life). Revolutions received quite a bad rap from gung ho action enthusiests who just wanted to see a face get pummeled. The Matrix Revolutions is far more than just that, sucking you deeper into the Matrix universe and as it goes on, blackens all hope for victory. But you know, you just know that the humans wont go down without a fight as they are led by the driven and powerful Neo. When the movie reaches the final super burly brawl, nothing exists, not the car chase or the chateau, or the oracle or even Trinity. Theres just nothing within the Matrix but Smith and Neo and each fight with all their strenght for their betterment, (death). Be involved with the plot, be bewildered by the action and youve got a golden movie on your hands. Or, just fast forward to people getting their faces pummeled. Either ones good.

A good ending for The Matrix Trilogy,but not quite i have expected.Everything that has a beginning has an end,i have to admit that it ends very well,but it can never be enough for us.Everybody is expecting too much ,for the first movie was way too good.When the third movie came out ,and was not as surprising as the first one,they start to say this movie was bad and rubbish.For me,i like the part where the war finally start inside the dock in Zion.Nicely done.i can never forget the scene when Kapten Mifune died.This movie is hard to understand ,especially for those who didn't see the first or second movie.i watch it 3 times before i start to understand.it is too bad that Trinity have to die,i cry very hard when she is dying in the movie.As for the ending part,did Neo die?i dont know for sure.Personally,i think he is gone for good.But like what the Oracle says,maybe we can see Neo again...

A must see for sci-fi/action fans! Picking up where The Matrix Reloaded left off this film delves deeper and deeper into the multi-faceted and multi-dimensional storyline incorporating various meanings and philosophical concepts to add great depth to the story. It will not tie up every storyline thread in a bow and serve it to you on a platter like most movies, it will instead inspire you to find your own meanings and conclusions to the concepts it portrays. A bold and fairly unique storytelling methodology. This film also features even more incredible special FX continually raising it's own bar again and again. Visually striking, philosophically deep, pulse-pounding, stylish and memorable. Absolutely fantasically written, directed and realized by the Wachowski brothers. Best understood as part of The Matrix Trilogy. One of my most respected films and one of my top 7 absolute favourite movies of all time.
