The trilogy ends in a whimper.
4 May 2004
Overproduced nonsense that jaw-droppingly destroys fans' faith in the creative abilities of the mysterious Wachowski brothers.

After the brilliance of their original conception as featured in the first film, they're continued the storyline (in RELOADED and this one) with lots more money and effects and absolutely nothing else of creative interest. Once again you will find yourself immersed in a green-lit CG universe of rain, squibs, wire-removal kung fu, and robotic acting, but we've seen it all before. It was cool the first time. Now it's merely repetitive.

The ending of REVOLUTIONS is probably the worst wrap-up to a trilogy in cinema history. What exactly did Neo accomplish? Did he free the humans? No. Did he destroy the Matrix? No. Did he conquer the evil machines? No. Did he learn his true nature and fulfill his destiny? No. The list of failures goes on and on.

I'll treasure my DVD of the original MATRIX, but won't bother buying either of these lame so-called sequels. They shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.
