Matrix Revolutions DVD review

Wachowski Bros, 20??

This is the 3rd movie of the trilogy - the ultimate climax!
If you have seen the 1st Matrix Movie, you will be curious as to how the whole story pans out.
You will be concerned for the main characters, hoping that good things befall the heroes, and that Agent Smith will finally get what he deserves.
You may be rather surprised at the way the whole movie sequence opens up to become somewhat apocalyptic...
And you may become frustrated that the storyline just doesn't have quite the strength it needs to to pull the whole trilogy together into a fully satisfying whole...

These emotions travelled through me as I contemplated the cinematic experience of Revolutions (and to a lesser degree Reloaded before this).
Loved the main acting performances, although I am convinced there is such a thing as Agent Smith Overdose...

The special fx consume at least half the movie - didn't do much for me (seen one explosion, seen 'em all)...a bit like the battly scenes in most sci-fi battle movies (incl Avatar, Aliens, War of the Worlds, Terminator)...

And the great moral questions aked at the end appeared to me to lack genuine gravity/sincerity.

Hmmm...unsatisfying.

Recommend catching a repeat of Inception instead...

5/10.
