August 27, 2009For me, this film failed for two big reasons. Firstly, the sad death of Gloria Foster. Secondly, and more importantly, the realisation of Zion being this tribal paradise, full of good looking people, who look far from being repressed, starved or any kind of danger. It also got a ...( read more)

July 18, 2009Like Star Wars this is interesting purely to see the end of the story but how it gets there I have no idea. The story is such a jumbled mess I lost the plot along time ago. I just enjoyed the amazing imagination and effects on offer. Abit more gun toting and less martial arts is ...( read more)

March 19, 2009Never before have I seen a film trilogy just collapse under its own pretenses. It's laughably bad.

March 15, 2009I actually enjoyed this film..... BUT what I don't like about it is that there is no way of ever possibly understanding it if you don't know the other two films. That is in my opinion a serious manko.

February 1, 2009I thought this Matrix dragged compared to the others. Perhaps I've seen it all before in the first two films of the trilogy.

November 8, 2009If you really listen to the trilogy it really is a DEEP movie. Makes you think about life. Awesome.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Over all, The Matrix Revolutions, the third and last of the film cycle envisioned by Andy and Larry Wachowski, mostly feels as hackneyed as the first film felt fresh. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
The sibling masterminds abandon all humor and most invention for a series of Mr. Wizard cosmic cliches. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
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. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
True believers will be reaching for the red pill, but it's still not quite enough to convert the heretics. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Reloaded was certainly a lumpy, gaseous treatise of a movie, but viewers of Revolutions may find themselves looking back on it fondly. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Louder, longer, more expensive and dumber than its predecessors, Revolutions is a mediocrity that will provide escapism only to those who head for the theater exits. full review

May 24, 2008The 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.

September 15, 2006First 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.

September 15, 2006A 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...

June 11, 2006A 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.
