The Matrix Revolutions (Widescreen Edition) Reviews
A Great Ending to the Best Trilogy of Our Time
I will just start by saying that the people that say that this movie "disappointed" or "did not meet expectations" are just stupid. They're just upset because they can't figure out what the story is about. The story of the Matrix is very unique and allows us to question humanity and its many fallacies. If I was able to give this movie more than 5 stars, I would do it immediately.
What captivated me about this installment is - obviously - the visuals. Just watching the humans strapped in their APUs battling in a desperate fight to save humanity against millions of machines and watching the Hammer racing towards Zion while warding off Sentinels reminded me of the epic space battles of the "Star Wars" movies. The battle between Neo and Agent Smith easily outdoes their quarrel in the previous movie, as Smith has gained more power inside the Matrix.
I just can't wait for this movie to come out on DVD. Ever since I've seen it in the theater, I've been waiting for it to come out. Although the cover art is my only complaint for this movie, the movie itself will not disappoint. To those who feel this movie was not good: nobody cares what you think.
Matrix: Return It
Revolutions disappoints me the most of the three movies. I am writing this for fellow sci-fi fans, and for myself, to briefly analyze the question - why the formula in the sequels do not work as well as the original Matrix. So I'm mainly reviewing the movie in the 3-part series, not the DVD.
All three main characters - Neo, Trinity and Morpheus - in Reloaded and Revolutions, are just too lifeless, aside from the obvious, that there is a departure from the story for the sake of big budget effects (Hey, I love well-made fx, don't get me wrong!) Or is it just bad acting? (I know, I know. They were supposed to be computerized.) I'll tell you what I think is the culprit - those darn sunglasses. Acting is in the eyes, and if you can't see the eyes, out goes the expression. Why do they have to wear the sunglasses underground, also? Fashion? Who cares about looking cool when the whole world is coming to an end! For argument sake, look back at the original Matrix. Neo and Trinity were newbies and fresh, trying to solve the puzzle - how to save humanity. There was more self-discovery in the "real" world, on board the Neberknezzer (mispelled, huh). Neo, Trinity and Morpheus were not so busy trying to look cool as in the sequels. Believe or not, my favorite character is the Oracle. Even though she has a small part, she is the only one I care about the most. She possesses a lot of spunk for a matrix concontion. Too bad, the original actress, is not in Revolutions, because of her unfortunate, untimely death in real life. (Did you catch the irony of what she eats in Reloaded?) Revolutions take place 100% underground or in a very cloudy world, so you vampires will feel at home. The Sentinals vs. the human machines is worth a look-see, but the Super Burly Brawl is not as fun to watch as before because the bad weather makes it hard to see. I just wish Mr. Smith and Neo had chosen to slap-each-other-silly on a day that wasn't raining. As a grand finale, the ending is convoluted, leaving more questions than answers. It leaves an unsatisfactory feeling in my stomach, kind of like amusement park food. As tragic as the story is going, The Wachowski Brothers sell out by slapping on a hollywood-like ending. Sunny skies and all.
If you don't care about the story that much, but want amazing visuals, I would recommend Reloaded over Revolutions. The martial arts choreography, with weapons, this time, is amazing. And the highway scene is unsurpassable. However, if you can only afford one DVD in this series, and you want the best, get the first Matrix. (Now, I have to figure out why George Lucas messed up the prequels. Jar Jar... Lucas trying to please his kids...)
