Official Matrix Revolutions Opinion Poll

funkyhorror

What was your thought on the last movie of this epic trilogy? were you happy? angry? at a loss?

to tell the truth, i felt a slight disappointment. Don't get me wrong, i loved every minute of it, there was just something missing. I guess i just kind of expected more, for it to just get better the further along the story progressed. Apart from that, i loved it and i can't wait for it to come out on DVD so i can buy them all and watch it over and over and over again. :D

I loved it, and got everything, although there was a few unexplained mysteries.
neoanomaly

Yes, thats my oppinion too. And alot of others'.

they leave some questions unanswered--which isnt good cause that IS the end. Maybe they didnt want all the questions to be answerd, cuz, if they were, what would be the point of this msg board? (ie fans would have nothing to question or ponder about)

Well i really hope its good
NeoRunner

One of the best ever! Excelent!
thekeymaker03

Well I see the point to neo dying to save the people. However like the comparison to Jesus does this mean Neo will come back again? The oracale says that we may see him again one day. What is funny is that in the first film morpheous talks about the first man to free them and that he was to return something like that. I guess Neo is the return of that man. However does that mean neo was the second coming as well? What signifies the rapture in revolutions? Maybe I am just reaching....
DPD

it was way better than most of the movies being produced right now, and i didn't like it right after i saw it, but i'm slowly warming up to it thanks to a lot of the knowledge people drop in here. thanks for educating me
Crusader

i loved it :D

Agent Smith: the secret is to give the cookies love like you and me

lmao! i knew i was right about smith :D
neuromancer314

i loved revolutions, but i beleive that for alot of the general public who has only seen the matrix once and might not have even seen reloaded yet...i have a feeling it might flop in theatres, but be a big hit eventually
Xehirut

Smith.. was insane.. I just got back from it and it was absolutely insane. I marked good but I may put my vote toward Excelent.. (*Gotta love having mod powers.*..
Afterthought

As with many trilogies, the third installment is not as in depth as the previous two, but on its own merit I think it is a captivating episode that brings some levels of closure to certain questions, but still leaves open many aspects of the film. It is engaging in some regards, and is not as disappointing if you watch it dropping the expectations we tend to have when it comes to this franchise. I was not at all disappointed by this film, and it actually gave me a new appreciation for agent smith.
Valasher

It was more than I expected, and it left me feeling the way I feel when finishing a good set of books, very happy to know how it ended, and very sad to see it cease to be new. It was Excellent!
Crusader

it wasn't exactly what i expected but it was good. i was hoping for answers, more answers than they gave us. i really did not like how they just told us that neo's powers work in the real world too.... they didn't explain how he could do that... would that have meant he had a transmitter in him that made the machines listen to him? did he die or what? who was the little girl? what was the recipe for the oracle's cookies? and did the machines build zion? those and many other questions were unexplained :) i hope they write a book or something... heh but overall. FANTASTIC MOVIE! Well written, and the greatest stroy ever told (all stories are pretty much the bible...). but i will miss it. they just better not make the matrix into a tv series or heads are gonna roll. anyone still up for kool-aid®?
morrison0880

I'm sorry, but this film was extremely, extremely disappointing. It was fun to watch if only for the FX, but come one...where was the story? The ending left me speechless, and not out of awe, but out of sheer disbelief that it all led up to...nothing. And call me cynical, but the film reallly became a joke to me when I realized that it was a gigantic advertisment for f**king POWERADE! I guess you need to keep up your hydration level when machines are using you for power, huh. I really can't believe the W bros caved into corporate sponsorship (greed, whatever you want to call it), but I guess it makes sense. Bleed as much ching out of this as you can and get out. Anyways, the visuals were outstanding, and I'll buy it on dvd just to complete the set, but, like I said, extremely disappointing.
DD05294

I read a book in college written by a holocost survivor. The main theme in the book was that even in the darkest moments you still have a choice. In the case of the author of the book, it was either choose to keep fighting to live or give up and die. He had many accounts of people who's body's shut down and died, when they lost the will to live.

At the end of the day all you really have control over in your life is choice. I think that is what the W brothers were trying to say.

That being said, I really liked the Revolution. Very suspensful and emotional. Unlike most movies these days you actually care about the characters.
Apatik

no doubt:excellent

And Smith was fantastic...I loved every line he had(also the ones when he was in Bane's body
Michael T

I was just dissappointed both neo AND trinity died. OK let trinity die but I wanted to see neo beat smith's ass. It was a bit of a let down.

i voted excellent because the ending was indeed excellent...if neo had not sacrificed himself the movie would have sucked major ass and he lived on so to speak. I would have rather seen that sacrifice much over him just beating someones ass again..wheres the originality in that
Shevers

I voted Good, but I'm bordering on Excellent. My favourite part of the movie has to be when Smith gets angry and does his 'Why do you persist, Mr. Anderson!?' speech. That was great! 'Cookies need love like everything else' was good too. But I can't picture the girl turning into a fully grown Smith. It's just... wierd. And of course, the line in my sig.
|\|eo007

This is an excellent movie, thats if you never seen Matrix and Matrix Reloaded. Although this movie is great, it doesn't live up to expectations set in Matrix and Reloaded.None-the-less this is still a very good movie, great story line, great fight scenes great special effects, the only downside of it is that both Neo and Smith can fly, the fight in mid-air seemed a little too extreme and unrealistic. The storyline can get a bit confusing from time to time, but only true Matrix fans will understand the deep meaning of the final installment of the matrix.

There will never be a film quite like the Matrix,Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions.
TheRealSmith1

Valasher, I think you put it best. This did leave me feeling sad that the triology had ended. I felt they could have done a better job on some things, but all in all I felt it was an excellent chapter. (hopefully there will more to follow)
Crusader

i'm pretty sure that there won't be another movie.

1) Neo is blind.
2) Neo is possibly dead.
3) Trinity is dead.
4) Agent Smith is dead.
5) Agent Smith is dead.
6) Morpheus is the only one of the original characters left... and he doesn't have any cool powers.
7) Zion is still on fire and its on fire... they still need to rebuild.
8) They are at "peace".
eRider

i voted good.. it has 2 many unanswered questions to get my vote to be excellent
NTidd

I vote excellent, Smith's performance was remarkable, even the guy that played Smith in the real world did a very well job. It was a great movie.
TheDrakemaster

Excellent. I think the W-bros did remarkably well in finishing off the trilogy.

I disagree with this statement. Everyone knows that the Matrix is influenced heavily by religion and philosophy. This movie is heavily inspired by the Bible, where everyone has different interperatations. How fun would life be if we didn't have to ponder? That is the beauty of the Bible and religion and what many people hate about it. You have to dig deep and expand your mind to answer those questions, while you have a blueprint you don't have a step by step walk-through of every detail of life. That is the point there are no answers, but what does that matter when you have faith. When you follow that faith to the point of death, without knowing all the meanings? You don't know the exact details of everything that is going to happen, you just have to hope that everything will be ok. Why answer everything, that is what imagination is for.

I thought the Wachowski bros. did an excellent job in this. They could have made up reasons for every little thing, but then the movie would have been no fun. If there were no mysteries in the first Matrix it would not have been such a revolutionary ( no pun intended ) movie. And hey, the Wachowski bros. didn't have a triology in mind when they made that, so if they didn't make these movies we wouldn't have had any answer.

PEACE OUT!!!!
revo-neo

good movie,
though missed fighting scenes like reloaded.
maybe somebody 'll reply with i'm just a young child who wants to see fighting and i don;t understand the real meaning :P
but comon, we all loved the burly brawl and the other fights in the matrix in reloaded, and that action just wasn;t in this movie
Crusader

i still wanted a little more time in the actual matrix... though the real world was all good too.
lain2002

How about the end, what do we know:

There is a new Matrix

The machines are still ruling earth and using humans as energy

Neo and trinity dead

Zion destroyed needs to be rebuilt

Is that what humans should be happy with????

I don't think so

There must be another movie or episode there must be somthing else, maybe in the matrix online game
Splinter

Revolutions amazed me. I walked out of the cinema with my brother and i was lost for words. I was a tiny bit diapointed with the ending, but i think that was because Neo and Trinity died, and because it was all over. The film was very emotional and thought provoking. During the movie there were points where i was just like "Holy $h!t", and the were two other points in the movie where i just had a lump in my throat and tears streaming down my face. (when Neo and Trinity say goodbye to Morpheus, and when Trinity dies.) those two scenes had so much effect on me. Another part of revolutions that was really great was every single line that Agent Smith had. He has this dead serious look on his face, but he just cracked me up. Especially when he says to Neo "Do you like what i've done with the place?" I cannot wait to get my hands on the DVD when it comes out.
Neofire

i gotta say it was a major dissappointment, u have these two great movies with loads of action and heaps of twist that lead up to it, then they spit out this boring half-a**ed final. It needed more action and i wasn't happy that Neo and Trinity died. I'm not a huge fan of hollywood endings myself, but sometimes, with a big movie like this it is nice.

Don't get me wrong it was a brilliant movie, the special effects were amazing, especially the machine city, that was brilliant, but the story line was pretty average
PyroMatt90

I thought it was excellent. They couldn't have done a better job.
Ragnarpk 88

Th whole point of Revolutions is to end it. End the story of Neo, end the path of the One.

I think you had to look throughout the movies for a underlying theme of peace and no fighting. If you think about it, throughout the first Movie, if you FORGHT a Agent, u died. If you RAN you could have survived. When Neo fights in the Chateau, what did the fighting acheive, only Death of all those programs. And when neo fourght Smith in M1, there was no point, he almost ended up under a train,then he ran away. In M2, he almost ended up dead, until he flew away. In M3, he only beat Smith because he lost the fight. Also in M3, all that seige battaling was for nothing, since so manyt died.
I may be wrong, but I think the Wachowski's through in there threw in a couple of peace anolgies. i think it expresses the point, if you want peace with someone, you've got to understand them. And that's what Neo did, he finally understood what he had to do, not destroy the machines, but find peace with them. When Neo met that girl in the Train Station, he finally understood that Machines were like humans, just different slighty. They had existences and in a sense, that is what Revolutions was about.

Also, about the Oracle lying. She didn't lie, she just didn't tell the whole truth. The prophacy said that if they got to the source, the war would be over. essentially she didn't LIE, it just meant something different to her.
Morpheus & Neo took it as "the machine war would be over". she could have meant loads of things. Like "the war will be over, and you would have lost" if neo gave in and did what the architecht wanted them to be do.

Also, what didn't it explain? Well, really, who ACTUALLY thourght it would explain EVERYTHING. Jesus, give it a break. If it explained everything, and made all your rumours wrong, how would have felt? if they explained everything, it would have sucked. But it did explain somthings...like....Lets see:
POWERS IN REAL:That wa explained by the Oracle. She sid the power of the one crosses over both worlds, and there is one good reason for that. A: we all asumed that it didn't.
That was a fantastic explantion. Basically, we all were thinking something special made it so, but it didn't. Like Neo's powers in M1, he only realised he had them, when he understood. So if you were wondering why he suddenly have them, he only understood them then.

Exactly. summed it all up fantastically. That was what revolutions explained.

I just wish more of it was in the Matrix and not in Zione, and I wish the superbrawl would have lasted longer, and we need to know if Neo is dead or not.He looks it when the big bad macine thing takes him away at the end..Terrible Ending.
neomaster32592

I absolutely, positively loved the matrix revolutions!!! I urge u all to see it if u havent or just see it again.Man, that was a good movie!!!!! Great way to end the Trilogy.I think there is going to be a fourth one taking place 50 years after the trilogy with Morpheus as an old supervisor for the cuncil of zion.I hope they come out with that kind of one!!! I also want to buy matrix models of neo trinity morpheus agent smith meovingian seraph oracle sati and others.
Ragespeed

As someone stated above, "trilogies" though if you count animatirx and enter the matrix, it is more than 3 in this case, use the last installement to wrap up all of the story lines convienently. If the makers had decided to wrap everything up in a 100% happy ending, everyone would be *****ing their heads off that it was a cop out. Rather than do that, they did exactly the opposite and made the ending that of victory with loss. That to me is still a cop out. There was no reason for trinity or neo to die. Furthermore, the ending fight sequence with neo and smith was amazing, but how that ended and how smith was ultimately destroyed, to me, represented that the makers could not come up with a more creative way.

Overall, I really didn't like reloaded because it screwed around too much with the ideas of the original matrix and the story was a little strained. However, if you judge reloaded on its own merit, it's a good flick. Revolutions was an adequate follow up until the end of the neo/smith fight sequence and everything there after.

Kudos to the makers way of explaining away why the oracle was different. That was an interesting spin.

Straight up, this Conclusion was a masterpiece. I enjoyed every minute of it. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, it had me at the edge of my seat and it also brought up emotion when trinity and Neo died.

But check it out. I know you are all entitled to your opinions, but honestly, it bothers me to hear people say that they expected more. I ask you this: What would you have added or done differently? Really think about this and don't just say more action or more time in the matrix, because it had a lot of action and being inside the matrix was not necessary at this point. If you want to see them in the matrix then watch M1 or M2.

Put yourselveves in the W. brothers shoes. Imagine having to top the Matrix? It's almost impossible. I think they deserve a lot of credit for what they've done. If anyone here has made a movie then you know what I'm talking about, I haven't made feature films, but I've helped in making small student films, and trust, it's not easy, nowhere close.

I say take it for what it is. Sure we can all think of different ways that it could have been different or whatever, but hey this is their creation not ours. Accepting it for what it is isn't easy, but if you do, you'll see that it's perfect.

Don't ever lose your ability to be awed. The day that nothing impresses you is the day you might as well give up.

Well enough of that, I just wanted to also say this, although Trinity and Neo died, I think that it speaks to the whole point of the film. We will all die one day, it is natures course, it is inevitable. Everything that has a beginning has an end, the completion of a cycle, a revolution.

It also has to do with the duality of life, mainly and obviously life and death. Notice the Oracles earrings, Yin and Yang. The two opposing forces of life, good and evil, light and darkness, coming together to answer Smiths question Why? Because that is the foundation of all life, a force that we don't fully understand but still drives us to secure life or take it.

Neo understands that to destroy smith he must also be destroyed, like the creation of the universe the positive and negative cancelling themselves out to create a balance, remember what the oracle says, that Smith is Neo's complete opposite. By destroying Neo, Smith destroyed himself, thus completing the revloution, the cycle, a perfect circle, the death and birth that is life.

And like I said before, even though it is sad that Neo and Trinity died, we shouldn't be because death just leads to another stage of existence a more powerful existence, a spiritual existence.

And to explain what I mean, after Neo died I was sad, but then I wasn't, because of this: I don't know what myth it is from, but I'm pretty sure the brothers got it from myth. Let me put it in my words,

-After the great battle between light and darkness
Neo is symbolicaly carried away by the machines
carrying him across the land to his final resting place
He will rise again in the East
and become the light that illuminates a new day
The rising sun at the end of the film.

maybe the brothers were trying to send one message out.
the machines place is no earth.
and ours is underground.
if there is a 4th it should just be about one big war with the machines.
maybe matrix online will give us some answers
Upgrade

i voted good
i liked it a lot (well loads to be more precise)
but how can it be the end:
go back to The Matrix 1
wasnt neos purpose as the one, to free evryone from the matrix, not to defeat an out of control program of the matrix.
overall though, that has to be the most intense 120 minutes of visual entertainment ive ever seen seriously
seraph is the man

also whos neodammerung?

I loved the movie except for the ending. That face in the end I thought was corny that and the sunrise thing. But until then it was non stop fun,
NeoLivesOn

I personally thought M3 was excellent. The graphics were amazing. The plot was a little slow and there were a lot of unanswred questions BUT the ending left an opening for another movie. The end fight scene was sooo cool + Keanu Reeves looked really hott when he first entered the matrix and with the sunglasses on in the rain.....uhhh. so hott. GIRLS YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!

I voted Xcellent just saw it will see it again peepzz that think it sucked are crazy
SFA100251

Just got back from seeing Revolutions and I have to say how disappointed I am. The whole fist act was absolutely BORING! It picked up but I left not caring. They didn't even explain why Neo had powers in the real world. Just "because he's the One". Not as bad as waking up and finding out it was all just a dream, but close.

Oh well, at least Trinity died.

It was explained if you would've paid attention you would know.
When Neo spoke with the oracle for his last time she said to him that his powers reached beyond the source into the real world so know you should knowthat he is in a way still plugged in just like when he was in the matrix when he was in the coma.
it is also because of the source witch he is linked to that he has those powers.
Please correct me if i'm wrong (VETS)
Trinity27

The Matrix Revolutions was spectacular!! Every moment had me on the edge of my seat...it was the perfect ending to the trilogy. The W. brothers could not have done a better job!! It managed the special effects, the emotional aspects and hardcore brilliance with complete mastery!!

IMO, the third one surpasses the first and second greatly. It answered all my questions and left me on an emotional high!! I would honestly never have expected something to be so incredible...

WOOHOO!! I think everyone in that movie deserves a round of applause!!
Neo's_Son

All I HAve to say is, I wanted to Cry because it was such a great movie, that movie series inspired me to write my movie( that i have posted int the fan fic) So i think that this will be a classic aong Hardcore Fans and None fans.....so good...

Exactly. summed it all up fantastically. That was what revolutions explained.

I agree very well explained.

Also heres a possible reason for why people were so dissapointed with the second and third movie. Its a conversation between me and a friend after seeing all the firebacks at revolutions yet again lol. So many bad reviews and comments. I guess everyones entitled to their own opinion. Im zoe.

zoe: why does everyone have to be so mean to the second and third matrix's
zoe: they were good in my opinion
zoe: so much pessimism
ja: like me, they all expected too much based on the first
zoe: you shouldnt of
zoe: you should of realised you cant repeat the first or it would just be exactly the same so it has to be different therefore if it has to be different its not the same and its not what were expecting
zoe: i dont think its that a sequal isnt better than the first
zoe: its that we compare it to the first and because it cant be exactly the same
zoe: if u love the first ur gonna like the second less
zoe: so if u loved the first you should not of expected so much of the second or third
ja: not necessarily, mad max 2, godfather 2, lethal weapon 2 just to name a few
zoe: yes
zoe: but in those cases
zoe: the second films were what you prefferd over the first films
zoe: in this case the first film was so amazing
zoe: that you had really high comparison hopes for the second
zoe: they could of done a re-run and you would of loved it but then at the same time u would of hated it because its a re run and not any different
ja: its only human nature to expect more the second time round
zoe: ok then
zoe: uve answerd my question
zoe: thanks
zoe: lol! only like three comments inbetween all my Bull**** and u still answerd my question lol.

So there u have it, im sure its been mentioned somewhere before but its also my opinion so i thought id chuck it in here.
sm4113r

The death of Neo and Trin. The deletion of Smith. The end of the series. None of that would stop me marking this movie down as excellent.
Buns

After walking out of the cinema I wasn't sure what to think. The film wasn't what I was expecting but it didn't disappoint either.

Highlights:

Bane as Smith - awesome casting, he captured Hugo's mannerisms and the character itself to perfection.

Visual FX - Awesome awesome. Got to win a oscar for best special effects.

The Club Hell fight scenes - Not as good as the Lobby scene from The Matrix but still enjoyable.

Story - While many questions are left unanswered, alot were given and the fact the story didn't go exactly how I envisioned added to the surprise and suspense.

Bane/Neo fight : Brutal and fun to watch it unfold.

Whines:

Watching Zee and her friend was rather dull and I was sort of happy when her friend was killed by a Sentinel. They didn't add much to the story at all.

The little girl Seti : Pointless substory, less time should have been spent on it and I didn't like the ending with the Sun and Sky thing.

Lack of Matrix action: While I enjoyed a few of the real world scenes, a bit more action in the Matrix wouldn't have hurt. Saying that though, as Reloaded and Revolutions are actually one film, it's more of a gripe of seeing Revolutions by itself, as opposed to watch it straight after Reloaded..

Final rating: Darker than Reloaded (and captured the essence of the first film better) but it seemed to lack pacing at times.

8/10 - Excellent
mazman

It was everything I expected from the third of a monumental trilogy and more! All the set pieces were excellent but the superbrawl was just breathtaking! Especially the "Why do you persist" speech and the slo-mo closeup punch!
Spongeybaby

If anyone wants the truth. Everything had a reason and every action was explained, the death of Smith etcetera. I know of the relation between Neo and Jesus, that can not be denied due to the literary allusions towards the end of the movie, but there is more to it than that and things run deeper. Personally I thought that it was an excellent movie, quite intellectually challenging and I would really like to give the brothers my personnal oppinion (because I believe that I know the depths to which their ideas ran, and I know from experience that I like it when people can grasp the way that I think and figure out puzzles that I worked hard on, someone who can really appreciate a good idea) if anyone knows their address (e-mail or real) it would be appreciated.

In response to what many people have oppinions on.
The reason why the superbrawl didn't last any longer than it did was because Neo realized what had to be done, the superbrawl could have gone on forever, if he didn't realize it and it didn't act on it so quickly, he wouldn't be much a one would he.
Secondly, most of the movie had to occur in the real world, otherwise there wouldn't really be much of a point to the movie, despite the fact the most of the other two movies were spent in the Matrix, it was based around a war in the real world, and therefore it would only make since that most of the wake of the war was felt in the real world.
Thirdly, for those of you that are dissappointed in the amount of action that occured in the third Matrix movie, think about it this way. The movie series is about more than just fighting therefore more must be resolved than just action, it would also be rediculous to think that there should be less action also do to the fact the series is base on a war, what else happens during such events. Personally I feel that the third movie had a lot of plot and was a good balance between the necessary rough-housing and the philosophical debates that are initiated extending as far back as the first movie.
Spongeybaby

One last little bit of information that I feel that I left out.
For those who aren't satisfied with my previous response to the amount of action in the movie think about it this way, the movie is the denoument and the climax to the series, there's supposed to be a lot of action and a lot of closing and a lot of things that are supposedly left up to interpretation, however in that same right and like many novels do (which is one of the things that impressed me so much about this series) the writers were able to state why things happen, even though it is tacitly done somewhere else in the series.

Sorry for my longwindedness, when talking philosophy it happens.
Valasher

Just to be clear, people... The Wachowski brothers always meant for this to be a trilogy. Yes, they didn't know whether or not the second two movies would ever be made, but they made the first one as if they were going to proceed to do a second and third movie (even if their producers gave them the impression that it just couldn't be done). Watch The Matrix Revisited to get more information about the preconception.
Xraeko

»Revolutions.. all I can say is.. breathtaking. I was on the edge of my seat for nearly the whole movie, especially the whole scene where the Sentinel swarm was invading Zion. Of course the superbrawl gave me an adrenaline rush as well. All I can say is.. AWESOME!! Although its kind of perturbing that in the end its left as a kind of cliff-hanger with the truce of the machine world and the human world. But oh well.. I loved it nonetheless«
TwinsAlmighty

Revolutions was okay.. I was hoping for something more, kinda like how funkyhorror felt.. I really like reloaded. Revolutions was just the war and that was basiclly it. But the movie was too bad. I kept me on the edge of my set the whole time! And I really like the part were Niobe is driving the ship through the water line... or whatever it is.. *smakes self* I just saw the movie yesterday and I already forget.... u.u
Blakeamatrix

M3 BLEW CHUNKS! NO story, no character development in regards to merogvigian, the annoying kid from the animatrix dvd that woke himself up from the matrix, persephone, seraph.

the 10 min CGI Battle for zion? and in that time neo made it to machine city (a city above ground exposed to rain and lightning for machines)

Agent Smith got superman powers?

The machines are gonna let everyone live after both threats were eliminated.

There some good points but overall the movie was lacking.

i mean i loved m1 and m2 though a lil over the top with the cgi it was still good, i got the dvd and played the game so all the nuggest of knowledge of how it wall intertwines i get. but even with that. this movie did not stand on its on. but even with the help of m1 and m2. the movie just blew.

Don't try gettin us down lad we just wanna enjoy ow and smith got those powers thru the ORACLE
thnxx for paying attention.

Ok does somesone wanna explain to me why in reloaded there were all kinds of smiths and in the movie started neo had to fight all those smiths why couldnt he just fly out right away but in revolutions so many smiths but not even one tried to fight neo
Neo Xavier McLeod

Like smith said the rest of me is just gonna watch cause we all know that im gonna beat you

umm i WAS paying attention. maybe YOU weren't. :-) let me ask you this. how does absorbing the ability to see the future give you the power to FLY?!! smith, though a rogue progam was still based on rules. if you noticed in the fight scene were he kept calling for back up. why would that change?

how did he go from duplicating himself to "dragon ball z status?" logic would dictate he would have used those powers in the fight scene between the apts.

okey you right but when smith took over the oracle you saw the wind that ment that his powers encreased massivley he had also got sati you don't know what she could do.
also the oracle said that smith was neo's counterpart and the arc was good in equasions always equasions and you know if some ones counterpart should be exactly like Neo for example wouldn't that give him the exact same powers.

ill hear from you

maybe we can discus this later on i think it's kinda fun now

Smith is no longer based on rules. If you can remember, in M2 after neo meet with the oracle, smith said "Afterward, I knew the rules, I understood what I was supposed to do but I didn't. I couldn't. I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey. And now here I stand because of you, Mister Anderson, because of you I'm no longer an agent of the system, because of you I've changed..." So, he is no longer a program, but an ecile. Like Merovingian, Smith has become a power-hungery program (though Smith is out to destroy all). Smith no longer wants to follow the rules. So that means maybe he could see the future and fly and all of that.

Thank you twinsalmighty thats what i wanted to say but i didn't know how

Sephiroth

It was good, but not the best, I mean, lots of questions where left unanswered and I thought how far does the power of Neo and smith go? I mean In the first one it wasn't so over the top, the second one was extreme but still some sort of realistic, but the third one was Crazy.

DOnt get me wrong here, I realy liked it but it should have been more inside the MAtrix than in the (boring) real world.

I still give it an 80% :)

i just finished watching the new matrix and i agree with some of the people, it was kinda a downer at the end. I really enjoyed all all the movies and the war scene in it was probably the best I have ever seen. I am sad it is over and the ending was i guess okay but it was confusing and drepressing. i also agree with some of the people that say that it didnt answer many of the questions wanted to be answered. Well i hope they come out with another video game from the matrix!
Anomolous

Storytelling Brilliance!! In my opinion, those who did not care for it did not understand it. The Matrix is a simply complex story. I think that if it were written as a novel, it would be a classic story taught in future schools of literature.
sideswipe

ok i just saw the movie today and i have to say... in the way of the bros and their movies (r.e matrix1 and 2) the film was excellent.

although it was a great movie and all it did leave a lot of unanswered questions. some people refered to them (i.e character developement, the merovingian) and thats what sort of got me down, the fact that although the movie was finished, the trilogy ended, it left a lot of things open, and they COULD do another sequel.

problem is it would be completely stupid to do another one, so leaving a lot of things open disappointed me.
i would discuss it but there are some people out there who come to this post who have still yet to see the 3rd installment so i wont wreck it for them.
Smitty

It aggrivates me that people talk about how they shouldn't have killed Neo and/or Trinity. I say and/or because there is no solid proof either way of knowing whether or not Neo died. Either way it has been stated and restated both by the directors, the producers, the actors, the damn CROWS from reloaded stated that the trilogy followed from Birth, to Life, to Death. And now people want to walk away with everything being peachy. That ain't life and it certainly isn't death. Of course seeing them die is a dissappointment. We as an audience and fans have been living with these characters since 1999. But the fact that people walk out of the movie and say how much it sucked is just a testiment to how good the story actually was. To develop a relationship with these characters, to sympathize with them, to laugh when they laugh, cry when they cry, and take that deep sigh of relief when Neo is able to catch Trinity in Reloaded and bring her back to life and not really care one way or the other if they died or be happy with an ending that kills them doesn't make sense. We're not suPPOSED to walk out of the theatre happy. Anything worth doing will cost something important. So it cost Trinity and perhaps Neo their lives. The point is they were willing to give them, and we should at least see the light in that.
Nosce Te Ipsum

After reading all the bad reviews, I was expecting the worst. But after seeing the movie, I was pleasantly surprised. It had a good balance of action and story. I also liked the ending. I agree that it is fitting that such a dark trilogy should have a dark ending. And did Neo really die? If he did, he still fulfilled his role (to end the war). I guess that is part of the mystery.
avant

well if that was the case why didnt 500 smiths that bum rushed him the first time just FLY after him? and if you think about it the merovigian had been there since the beginning and i would think he'd be much more powerful then an agent and you didnt see HIM flying around OR agents trying to jack him cuz he was an exile as well. and you KNOW they knew where to find HIM!

in don't think the Wach Bros wrote that ending I think the WARNER Bros and their croonies did.

I can't believe people rate this movie as good! It was so bad.

Instead of telling the story, they got caught up in large-scale action sequences that looks good but contributes nothing. It glossed over so many crucial aspects and questions that were raised by the first two movies and left large parts of the story hanging in the air.

I was so disappointed I want my money back!

Does anyone know what the Wachowski brothers' e-mail addresses are so that I can teel them how bad their movies is?
sOulaTriX

...I thought revolutions was good but I felt as if they had rushed the last installment...I guess thats what happens well you make two movies at once. The fact that Neo had to sacrafice was sad but it was a cool plot ending! I just wish they didn't make him look like a ***** in revolutions ( Trainman busting him into the wall, Bane burning his eyes out, Trinity's death turned Neo into a cry baby, but hey he was Pu$$y whipped,lol...But when ever he was fghing Smith and he was in that hole and looked up he realized that he could fight Smith(s) forever and not got anywhere, it was sad to see Neo allow Smith to change him. Idunno I just loved the kung-fu and this one didn't have too much. I think the best part was when Neo was so brave with that Dues eX Machina and got plugged into battle SMith that was to damn hot and some of the fighting in tat last sad scene.

I waited eagerly for the final installment of the Matrix and I was extremely disappointed in the result. I wouldn't go so far as to say the movie was terrible because it had great special effects, however, there was no resolution. All I was left with are more questions than answers. Neo is either dead or has been carried off to the center of the Machine City for some unkown reason. It seems that the Machine God simply used Neo to cleanse the Matrix of the Smith Virus. The Matrix still exists, most people are too old to be unplugged per Morpheus' own statement in Matrix, and the war isn't over it's just stopped until it starts again per the Oracle speaking to the Architect in Revolutions. Also, I was left confused over statements made regarding the Oracle's eyes. I also did not understand why the small child was introduced. Because she makes pretty sky colors?

I have spent months, even years trying to find the answers to the questions the movie laid out. Nothing was answered. If there aren't going to be any more Matrix installments that will give closure to the movie plot, I wish they had simply ended with Matrix.

I definitely found Matrix Revolutions revolutionary... When I watched it for the first time, I left the theatre with the impression that it would take me some time to sort all the ideas out, but I knew I had loved it...

So, my vote is: excellent!

MTPsycho09

HOLY CRAP this was probably one of the worst movies i have ever seen. for one they didnt show neo that much who for one this is the MAIN charecter in the enitre series but the producers seemed to forget that. two they took 20 minutes of trinity dieing everyone knows she should already be dead cuz she old and whoever plays her cant act worth ****. 3 the entire movie was ****ing predidctabe. while i was sitting their with my friends watching this we were nbaming off what was going to happen or what would be said next. if any of u matrix fan freaks like this more than LOTR u really need a life cuz this movie sucked and if they are ever considering making a matrix 4 they will lose money because the ending to this movie blew so much ****. this movie was so terrible i actually started to think it was worse than spiderman and i was right cuz then ending to this movie will probaly turn at least more than 1million people gay. and WTF they never said if neo was dead or alive. if any producers are reading this good cuz i got two more comments, if neos retnas are fried then y can he see id the matrix and then when he dies in the matrix he dies in real life stay with one point u idiot. my final comment is this movie was terrible and i wasted $8 going to see it i never thought it could suck this bad or i would agree with the credits but i do THIS MOVIE WAS TERRIBLE AND I WOULDNT RECOMMED IT TO ANYONE

I would never say the movie was HORRIBLE. It did dissapoint me that they didn't show Neo a lot. Owell I found the movie to be quite good and it did answer a lot of questions.

WeaponXT7

Revolutions was awesome. It was a great finish to a great trilogy. The matrix movies enlightened us, opened our minds, made us think and analyze, and most importantly it made us feel our emotions.

Most people who saw the movie were expecting the machines and the matrix to be destroyed at the end of it. But anyone who watched "Second Rennaisance Part I & 2" you would know that, that would have been wrong. because who are we to say that the AI machines, that think and feel emotions just as humans do, shouldnt exist and control their own lives.

You gotta love Agent Smith. He's the man!!!!
"Hello Mr. Anderson, we missssed you!"

I loved every second of Revolutions.

They didn't even explain why Neo had powers in the real world. Just "because he's the One". Not as bad as waking up and finding out it was all just a dream, but close.

Oh well, at least Trinity died.

Alright, this is my explaination for Neo having powers outside of the Matrix. Now this is my opinion and you may take it which ever way you choose to but i believe this to be the best explaination. In a mathematical equation you have complete opposites. Neo and Smith. Because Smith was able to enter the real world after taking over Bane's body, Neo was able to free his mind from his body and be in the Matrix without being jacked in. So as you can see it is the complete opposite of what Smith did. Simple explaination to me.

Messiah

I'm only trying to be as clear and sincere about my opinions as possible so that you can take something from them. Possibly walk away with a better understanding. But still I could be mistaken with my visions. They are just how I see the movie to be portrayed. I only hope that I am correct in my usumptions. The one thing that I havn't quite figured out yet is why the Sentinel passed through Neo. Possibly because Neo has the code of the one imprinted into him and being able to Jack into the matrix unconsciously, possibly the gold code he saw was how the machines see and becuase he saw Smith as smith and not as Bane when he was blinded. God, So frustrating. I give up.
Messiah

Just another thought. Maybe the gold code he saw was the very spirit of the Machines. Their Essence so to speak. They seemed very Angelic like in the movie. Not as rigid and cold looking as in the regular view of the human eye. I'll ponder this more. Tell me what you think.

The great thing about Hugo Weaving's performance as agent smith is that the Wachowski's really talk like that - that's where Hugo got his inspiration for Smith's style.

I thought revolutions was better than reloaded. I liked reloaded and what it consisted of but the pacing issues, to me, were an obvious flaw. Revolutions corrected this and seemed to flow more fluidly with the original. Reloaded was necessary to establish plot points and characters for revolutions, however, considering the films intent, it seemed too long or at least poorly edited.

I think another reason Revolutions succeeds over Reloaded is that Neo seems more like the neo we knew from the original. Perhaps this was because "Reloaded Neo" approached everything so calm cool and collective well aware that he was the "shiznit" whereas "Revolutions Neo" seemed more "down to earth" and aware of his own mortality.

As for revolutions' finale? It's admirable that the WB's did it their way and didn't explain everything. Look at what it's done to message boards like this. It's generated so much discussion and debate. I'm not by any means a matrix fanatic, but i believe, with time, the matrix series could be considered a classic.

I like it when the movies leave you thinking, although I definitely wish they had provided some more answers.

But I did read the Matrix Revealed Version 1 pointed out by a friend leading me to here. Props to whoever wrote that, as the person did tie everything in together......but i still have some ?s on some things.

This trilogy will definately become a classic one day ^^ I have to admitt that reloaded did have very bad effects, especially in the car chase when the agent jumps onto one car's hood and then jumps onto Trinity and Morpheus's car. If you play that in slow mode, the agent looks so totally fake, not even close to life-like, it even is very obvious when it is in normal time. But this also happened I noticed in Revolutions with the Neo-Smith fight.......
NeoLivesOn

Has anyone seen "The Repalcements"????? Keanu Reeves was soo cute. I just watched that tonight "11-12-03" and it was really good.

The replacements was a decent movie. Typical in that it was the slow motion last play wins the game type but hey, that is what Hollywood is.

after the build up of new characters in reloaded and the deeper delvings into the secrets of the matrix, revolutions was a pile of dirty pants.

8) They are at "peace".

Instead i think another one film or saga will be made centered on Kid's story. Have you seen Animatrix? He's so strange and unique.

It's my first post and because I'm italian I don't think my knowledge of english is pretty good, so I'm sorry, but i need another Forum to post.

I'm in agree with you. I like it very much and i think so that a film is good if it leave you thinking. I've seen Matrix Revolution 2 times yet and before the second one I had thougt a lot in order to understand better the real mean of that film. So, when i've gone to cinema to see Matrix revolution for the second time i've liked it more than the first one.

I loved The Matrix, I liked Matrix Reloaded and I'm crazy for tha Matrix Saga.

I loved all carachters Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and now that N & T are dead i'm very sad. They live forever in my mind because they gave me emotions that changed me and my think.
Spongeybaby

For all those people that think that the movie wasn't the best because it didn't answer enough questions, I think that such a person either hasn't analyzed the movies deep enough or they are a bit slow in the head. The producers made a point that everything was answered albeit tacitly.

Messiah, I don't know if I can truly believe that explanation concerning Neo placing himself in the "transmatrix-subway" though I have thought it for myself, such reason works well with the end though. The reason why I say that it doesn't quite hold enough sway is this. The movie itself was designed from science, and therefore everything in it has to make sense if even by a stretch, and just because Smith could do something in the Matrix, which is where Neo and Smith are the same due to the design by the architect, doesn't mean the Neo has to be able to due what Smith can when Neo is in the real world. Not to say that it is a bad idea, being how the movie ends by the same priciple, but I don't quite thinks that it carries enough weight.

Concerning the sentinel passing through Neo, I've been curious of that myself, however I believe that this is the reason. The gold visions represent this third place, the place between the Matrix and the real world, the reason why Neo can do the things that he does in the real world is because he can reach into this third world and manipulate the machines from there, the sentinel passing through him is more of a metaphor concerning this third world, which says that he was unable to shut him down, or that the sentinel won the battle, because there were so many other people Neo was trying to manipulate.

If something I said doesn't make sense, or if it would need some background to some of my other ideas that I haven't said, please tell me, I would enjoy such a discussion.

I will tell you my story. After getting out of school at 3, I and several others left for a friend house and proceeded to watch the Matrix, followed by The second Renicance (1 and 2), Kids Story and Last flight of the Osiris. We then watched Matrix Reloaded and finished in time to watch Matrix Revolutions at 9:35, the late show(and get good seats). After seeing this movie, I couldn't feel my legs. My eyes were dry from forgetting to blink and while walking home, though the thermometer read negative something i was not cold. As a whole, I do not think they could have done this movie much better. The group I was with was amazed as well. One girl convulsing in her seat and hyperventilating(nothing serious). WOW

Well, Let me first say I am glad to be back! I lost the site URL for a while and now I found it again after seeing Matrix Revolutions the day it came out!

I was a bit disappointed in it for a couple of small reasons. First off I didn't expect Trinity or especially Neo to die!!! That was a big upset to me since I loved Neo and Trinity as a couple and they seemed to be the main characters that would never die! Especially since Neo was the one, I was shocked he died! Some people said he was still alive but after I explained it to them, they couldn't give me an excuss why they felt that way except the point that they wanted him alive! I myself, wish trinity and neo didn't die, and at the end it seemed like they left you hanging. Seemed like the writers got bored, or maybe they really did want the audience hanging! The way they kept me hanging though, made me want them to make another Matrix but I know that ain't happening! What a shame...I voted for Bad but I guess I should've voted Good

One quick message, I would have to say that everything that they did in the movie, was explained.

For all those people that think that the movie wasn't the best because it didn't answer enough questions, I think that such a person either hasn't analyzed the movies deep enough or they are a bit slow in the head. The producers made a point that everything was answered albeit tacitly.

Messiah, I don't know if I can truly believe that explanation concerning Neo placing himself in the "transmatrix-subway" though I have thought it for myself, such reason works well with the end though. The reason why I say that it doesn't quite hold enough sway is this. The movie itself was designed from science, and therefore everything in it has to make sense if even by a stretch, and just because Smith could do something in the Matrix, which is where Neo and Smith are the same due to the design by the architect, doesn't mean the Neo has to be able to due what Smith can when Neo is in the real world. Not to say that it is a bad idea, being how the movie ends by the same priciple, but I don't quite thinks that it carries enough weight.

Concerning the sentinel passing through Neo, I've been curious of that myself, however I believe that this is the reason. The gold visions represent this third place, the place between the Matrix and the real world, the reason why Neo can do the things that he does in the real world is because he can reach into this third world and manipulate the machines from there, the sentinel passing through him is more of a metaphor concerning this third world, which says that he was unable to shut him down, or that the sentinel won the battle, because there were so many other people Neo was trying to manipulate.

If something I said doesn't make sense, or if it would need some background to some of my other ideas that I haven't said, please tell me, I would enjoy such a discussion.


hey.......good assumptions!

i also like good discussions as does everybody on this board :), but i don't get your version for the sentinel going through Neo. I hadn't thought about that yet......as i'm still pondering on some other things.

Again.......you describe the "how" and not the "why"!! I read Matrix Explained 1.0......and it was pretty good on explaining things, so I'm a bit convinced on that person's explanation of Neo being able to "feel" and "sense" the machines ONLY through the "bio-electrics" that the humans and machines share.

It'll be interesting to see your elaboration on your thoughts.

BTW..........all those ppl who are posting here about Neo dying.......are again assuming. We don't know yet, if Neo is dead or alive. Although, I would lean more on him being alive, as the Oracle mentions that we will see him again at the end.

This is my explanation of things that I feel need to be explained, if I miss something please tell me.

I fully believe that there is a type of bioelectrical type system in the world of the Matrix trilogy, I fully believe that there has to be a bit more than just mere outright programming involved in AI. Also consider that Jacking into the matrix involves a type of radio wave, or some wave of some sort that transmits the people across open space instead of an electric cable. Now think about the fact that the sentinels were golden as was the city and a few places inside the matrix. For the gold to exist in the matrix that is easy enough, just a placement of data, now for the gold to be outside the matrix would imply that there is a connection between everything that is golden, like in the matrix, where everything that is created is green. This would imply a connection between all of the machines, probably through electricity and the like, which is what our thoughts are, however if this was transmitted through the air than one could know where everything that was connected is, essentially (it's a very complex idea and it wouldn't surprise me if the ideas are missinterpretted or if I need to explain more). This would explain why he could see Smith, because his intellect is just a brain pattern and he could not seen trinity and other things that are not part of the machine mainframe (the one not consisting of the matrix), because Smith's intellect was of this artificial intellegent brain pattern, it is also possible that in one way or another it is also transmitted or can be read with the right technology or the right bioelectric current.

The fact that neo can do this and no one else can is not to hard to fathom if one thinks about it like this, the Oracle is responsible for Neo and what he can do. Here is why, she is responsible in the grand scheme of things for placing variables in the Architects grand design, if Neo is a remainder in his exquation, that in one way or another makes him the result of a variable.

This directly ties into Smith's death. This, of all things is very simply:
Neo=Smith, (ex. c+6x-4y=12) now if you were to subtract Neo from this equation, you would also have to subtract Neo from the other side, and since Neo=Smith, you would subtract Smith from the other. Machine thought.

This is a succint version of my thoughts on the movie, if somethings is still unclear or doesn't seem to make sense, tell me and I might be able to help enlighten, or you could enlighten me.
riggityraw

This is for "SpongeyBaby",
I am not understanding anything you have said. I am not questioning . . . yet, your thesis on the movie, but you are doing a poor job of explaining it. I don't understand. To dispel any suspicions, I am not an idiot. I have deep studies in Philosophical thought, so the abstract is nothing new, but I don't understand, so if you could somehow expound on your thought in clear language, I would like to respond, but before I jump to conclusions, and start pointing out weaknesses where there may not exist any, I would like to make sure I understand.

I voted good for revolutions due to the unanswered questions that still persist. There was closure, but one has to ask if things were left out purposely to come back with something in the future. For me, the first two movies featured many one on one battles (seraph vs neo or morpheus/neo vs agent). The battles in revolutions are like superman vs bazzaro. The graphics are incredible, but i'm a fan of kung-fu theatre who appreciates the good 'ole fight scenes.

It was really disappointing to see Neo basically lose to Smith in the end, but it is what it is. Finally, what did the conversation between the oracle, the architect and the little girl mean at the end? Good movie, but too many computer graphics.
Choi

I know I'm a little late on posting my opinion, but I just want to remark that I had the same reaction after watching each matrix.

First Stage: The Movie's Completion
"Ehhhhh... What the hell? I think that sucked, but I'm not sure..."

Second Stage: The Morning After
"Ummm... I guess that was cool?????"

Third Stage: Second Viewing (A week after First Stage)
"Woah!!! This ****ing rocks!!!"
neomaster32592

i regret what i said along time ago.....it was awesome!!!!!!
Spongeybaby

Now, this is the simplified version of the largest part of what I said, personally I don't like this explanation because I feel it leaves pertinent stuff out.

AI must be created via an electrical wave, like those our brains run on and those that machines transmit. Machines, in general, radiate energy. Assume (there is a deeper explanation of this in the earlier post) that the gold light is the connection that all the machines have, even when not in the matrix, since they all run off of one power source or another, they are all connected. One could track this wave emition of each part of the connection, which is the seeing of everything that is golden and nothing else (when Neo is blind).

That is the jist, I thought the rest was explained simply, if not, tell me again. If I forgot to make my point (if this doesn't seem to explain somewhat what I was explaining earlier), I am sorry.
neomaster32592

If you have seen revolutions......u know what im talking about when i say thaat was the best air-fighting scene in the world!!!!
DonutDude

it was good but...... i wanted a littl more
NeoLivesOn

I guess since the other two movies were soo good that me and I'm sure everyone else expected a lot more from M3. It did leave a lot of unanswered questions but it was, nonetheless, very good. The graphics once again were excellent. The WBs did such a wonderful job on this trilogy.
MatrixBeliever

i found this really good post on matrixcommunity.org on one of the reasons y people dont like the matrix
keep in mind this isnt the only reason and im not saying that everyone that doenst like revo. is because of this reason, but i believe it to be one very good one

matrix revolutions left me sort of unsatisfied, i didnt like the way it ended.
Sudds

I thought it was a great end to the trilogy. The Wachowski brothers did well at leving it open for a new trilogy to begain. Whitch would be great,but dought. I give it a 9.25 out of 10.
bond luva

Ok...I am so inlove with this movie that I start to salivate when I think of it! The following is a review that I wrote on a movie message board at JOBLO.com:

It has become my opinion that the trend among most movie critics is to say the worst about any movie that seems to have a hype about it! REVOLUTIONS was no different! Most of the remarks that I have read or hear are unfounded, with little or no supporting evidence! I heard one movie critic (who more than likely doesn't know anything about film) say that "The Matrix trilogy is supposed to have religious connotations. Well, having seen REVOLUTIONS I can testify that it indeed is like religion as I was as bored in this movie as I would be if I was in church!" Such statements are not backed up and seem to be thrown in as a way of the critic trying to be funny! Therefore I conclude that critics don't pay attention to the finer details of the movie as they have already formulated an opinion before laying eyes on the beggining credits!

- - - - Now for my actual review - - - - SPOILERS PRESENT - - - -

I consider myself to be part of the cult that follows the MATRIX trilogy. Yet, despite my obsession with all-things MATRIX I vowed to keep an objective eye when viewing REVOLUTIONS. Without a doubt in my mind I am certain that REVOLUTIONS is better than RELOADED. I am not saying that RELOADED was not good - I deem it a necesary installment to help us fully understand the introcate levels that REVOLUTIONS took us to. I have fully immersed myself in the world of THE MATRIX - I have watched the original movie, RELOADED and the ANIMATRIX numerous amounts of times and each time I come away with a new level of understanding. Therefore I entered the cinema to view REVOLUTIONS with a fairly good understanding of what the films are all about. I was therefore IMMENSLY intrigued by the so-called "boring" first-half as it contained, for me, revalation after revalation of new ideas to contemplate. I particularly appreciated the way that the death of GLORIA FOSTER was dealt with - the new Oracle talking about how things change that cant be changed - a reference within the movie to the death of the previous actress!
A line from RELOADED kept nagging at me from the back of my mind: "Chance is an illusion created my those with power over those without power". I didn't quite understand why this particular line persisted until I realised that the whole of the story of REVOLUTIONS hangs off that line like a child to its mother's teet. It bacame clear to me that the Orwellian aspects that I had picked up and brished aside from THE MATRIX were indeed intentional. The Matrix Trilogy is about POWERPLAY - Tactis by those with power over those without power in order for the powerful to ultimately achieve its goal. Therefore I understood that ALL that had happened within THE MATRIX, and RELOADED, where deceptive illusions created by the machines to give Neo, Morpheous and Trinity the illusion that they were in control of the rebellion when, in fact, the rebellion was precisely what the machines wanted! After all, does not NEO become a programmed element of the machine world at the conclusion of REVOLUTIONS, and returns to the source just as the architect told him it would happen? Does not the equation of Neo and Smith, the two evenly paired enemies, result in the end of the war while giving the deception of a struggle between good and evil when infact Smith and Neo where aiding the same cause? I deem that to be a stroke of unmistakable genious of the brothers. While I was at first upset at the death of trinity (I was so in tune with the characters and the direction of LOVE between Neo and Trinity that I infact cried when she died...despite the fact that I am a male) I was glad that it happened, just as I was glad that the film didn't resolve the way that it was expected to - namely a happy ending with all the main characters running around hugging each other and the total destrucion of the machines. The reason for this is because THE MATRIX is known for its being out of the ordinary, the fore mentioned ending is far too stereotypical and would trivialise the meaning of the movies. And now that I have spoken about the general story and my feelings toward the revalations made within RECOLUTIONS, I will talk about specifics!
THE ACTING:
I was astonished at how powerful this movie became. The Kid, played by Clayton Watson, became an emotional symbol of hope made possible only be his acurate portrayal. Norma Gaye, Zee, was also fascinating in her role of bravery and love despite no real previous experience in such a role. Laurence Fishburn was as good as ever, as was Jada Pinkett Smith and Carrie-ann Moss who I think even improved slightly. Hugo Weaving is perfect in the role of Smith, a fact established in 1999, but he did improve in this movie as he became so full of hate and portrayed it so brilliantly that he managed to shake the "coolness" of Agent Smith, the audience actually despising him at the climax of the movie. But the real standout was how strong Keanu Reeves was. He as always suited to role of Neo but his performance went from strength to strength in Revolutions...unfortunately though, I think, being another nail in the coffin of him ever being able to shake off NEO. I actually hated the little girl though. I think that the casting agent could have done a far greater job with her - her lines sounded like a script rather than a person...in all fairness she is just a little girl but they have done better in the past. Take the "spoon-boy" from the first movie - he did a great job of his 30 seconds of on-screen time. I may be biased, however, as the actor was my best friend! Just to digress on that point for a moment, I would also like to mention that I am also friends with the woman who plays the little girl's mother in REVOLUTIONS! (I am just name dropping...)
The MUSIC:
Finally a soundtrack free from any of that unnecessary heavy metal music. I am a great fan of Don Davis's work, especially for the matrix trilogy as he single handedly creates the atmosphere perfectly. The moment that that first chord sounds at the very beginning of each movie the audience is immediately transported into the story without it actually beginning. I was also pleased to note that he continued his collaborations with Juno Reactor, a marvelous pairing, intensifying the action sequences perfectly.
ACTION/SPECIAL EFFECTS:
The weakness in RELOADED was the action sequences due to the fact that they were far to drawn-out. REVOLUTIONS has an amazingly inferior number of action sequences when compared to the preceeding movies, but when it did have one it was precise, and did all it had to. Even the semi-lengthy climactic fight between Neo and Smith can be included as it was a climax that had been slowly built-up from the start of the movie and when it was unleashed the audience where rearing for it! I was also very pleased to see, or rather NOT to see, the repetition of the far too cartoon-like CG animations that slightly trivialised RELOADED. If CG was incorporated in REVOLUTIONS it was far better crafted as it was not percievable. Also, one has to cite the actuall battle in Zion. This worked extremely well as the audience lost site of the fact that the machines and the human army were completely compuer animated - one believed that they were actually physically present which separates it from movies such as Star Wars where the audience can easily tell what has been computer inhanced.
Apart from the above I cant really think of much else to say apart from my ratings!
The MATRIX: 9/10 - sheer brilliance, unique and inspiring
RELOADED: 7/10 - a temporary lull but a significant one
REVOLUTIONS: 9.5/10 - A brilliant climax and conclusion.
sideswipe

ok dude, leave some room for other people to post.

everyone here cant agree with how the movie ended. i guess thats how the humans led their race to their own grisly demise huh???

but anyway, the movie was great. i saw it, and i wanted to see it again. in terms of storyline and time line, the movie was the end of the "life" of the movie (birth, life and death) the first movie was an introduction to the trilogy. it mainly talked about how neo was the one and very little reference was made to zion or any other ships. there was mostly fighting and the experimentation of bullet time.
reloaded opened up the storyline and the universe dramatically. we get an idea of how zion runs and who lives there. we also get an idea of other characters that will become more important in the third installment. the fighting scenes are very advanced and are very cool, and bullet time is used quite a bit.

revolutions is based more on the home front, i mean zion. and that is understandable, being the fact that zion is about to be attacked by half a million machines. little bullet time and short fight scenes are used. but the movie is a lot more emotional (cos neo and trinity die) but other than that it is a great movie.

to the die hard matrix fans out there, the third movie leaves a lot of questions open, and no one to really answer them.
i dont think they would make a fourth one because i believe they ran out of money in the third movie and thats why they couldnt put more bullet time and fight scenes in the last matrix movie.




otherwise i loved it and the wachowski bros should be congratulated.
FoxJon

it was very good but needed more hand to hand combat...more fighting less flying
idon'tbelieve

There are possible lies by the core computer:
1) Zion and the world out of the matrix are another layer of the program. Zion exists to give people who don't buy into the program an out. The computer system can still use their brain energy, possibly at a higher level of return. This explains how Neo can pop back into the matrix without a hack, how he can feel the robots, and how he can act upon them. In a real world he couldn't.

May be, the core was seeking a human to free the humans. The atmosphere may have recovered and the machines were bored, like God was when he created Adam and Eve. Therefore since neo and trinity died in the second matrix, they may be reserected and introduced into the real world, into a garden of eden, only to find that Orpheus is actually a program, which was designed to seach out and find the chosen one, that the computers would trust to set up a new human world.

go forth and multiply.
itsjussme

I think it was a great movie. I loved the story line. I loved the way it made me think and and had me guessing. Any movie that has you thinking, talking and guessing days, weeks, or months after seeing it is a great movie.

On the other hand it has been said that this was a trilogy and no more movies would be made. If that is the case I would have like all the questions to be answered in the final movie. Just as in the first movie all the questions it presented were answered and it still became a phenomena. The second and third could or should have done the same.

i totaly agree with it's just me i've seen them al again yesterday first two at home and revo in the cinema
that was cool i've seen them all in a row thats just brilliant
Siron

That with teh war was a good point. Another one (I don't know if it has already been posted): remember that Mission Impossible Ending? One very millimeter and all his friends dead. Matrix didn't end like hollywood movies usually do. Matrix ends the only good way it could have ended. And for that I just LOOOOOOVE Revolutions. It ended dramatic. With suffering, but going on. With thinking of others than oneself. With peace and no side better or worse. The ending couldn't have been more perfect.

i disliked to way agent smith was defeated i would have prefered if he died killing all the agent in a way of power that could have destroyed him aswell but dats just me
Spongeybaby

If I may interject one little piece of information for anyone that thinks in this manner, all of the major questions and probably all of the minor questions are answered in the movie, you just have to look hard enough and redefine the paradigm.
webmas6

i thought it was kinda slow at first but it turned out pretty good, i only wish there was more action in the matrix and i also didnt understand how neo can take on 100 agent smiths in reloaded but can bearly take on 1 agent smith in revolutions can someone clear that up for me? thanks

Well thats easy to explain in reloaded smith wasn't as powerfull as in revolutions in revo he was super smith

as simple as:
BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!

the part that I liked more was the battle for Zion, It just keeps your heart beating so hard, and at the edge of your seat.
NOTHINGISREAL

Well,this movie keeps my butt in the seat heated..

Action pack to the end....none stop...so i guess i was thrilled by the revolution.

Right,i guess the movie needs more action fighting sequel...more slow mo...

The Frenchman's story stops a side,little introduction about the Trainman seems....clueless..but hell,we need to think right :) haha

I guess some author might release a MATRIX book to tell us everything about the matrix officially....then doubts can be solve....hey,just an opinion......

It was a very entertaining film. I am glad not all the answers were handed to us on a silver platter. If they would have been we would not have been able to allow our own minds to search out solutions and open up to new possibilities.

Niva

I have to admit I just loved it, it explained alot n made me ask more questions, but the tip of the point, it was great. As the oracle said "everything that has a beginning as an ending", n so we think the ending has come.
Hansdom2000

I have to say I was expecting another ending. I wanted Trinity and Neo to be happy. I wanted them to have kids. As with all masterpieces, the writers often fool us with our expectations because they know what we want to happen and deliver something else just to make us mad. I just didn't understand why Trinity didn't develop superpowers after her death just like Neo and Mr. Smith did. I know they were just two sides of the same coin. They were a mathematical equation. As you know, a mathematical equation has two sides. Just like the Oracle was the side of the Arquitec-the mother of the matrix. Everyone was expecting Trinity to be the mother, ha ha. Booo!

Agent Smith was the rogue agent-the Computer virus that resulted from the choice of the machines of giving the test subjets the illussion of having a choice. Because of them having that choice, the ones that rejected the matrix instead of waking up they could just be saved by the people of Zion. Agent Smith becomes a rogue agent because he too has the choice of doing whatever the hell he wants. Because he was a virus with superpowers, Neo, the remainding of the equation, too must have super powers. I hope that you like what I wrote.
The part of he dying is inspired by the Jesus. the part of he being blind is inspired by Dante, the Divine Comedy. If you read Dante, you will understand that Zion is Hell, the Train stop the Pulgatory and the Machine world made of light, heaven. Ouch, am I giving too much.

Wonderful spiritual action adventure, I had some great realizations after watching it. Not that I wouldn't have experienced emptiness before, but it gave me a special kick.

Loved the scene with the Indian family in the subway station, and many others. Excellent, maybe the ending was not up to the rest of the movie's level. But there may be hope for 4th coming Matrix? :)

i liked the movie .. BUT i got this feeling that there's something missing .. or not quite yet been totally satisfied ... i donno ! this is what i think
Smithy_baby

I think it was good. Not excellent but good. Better than Reloaded but worse than Matrix. Matrix is simply the best :).
So...what could I say? I think end was good. It would have been so CLICHE if all the good guys had survived and Neo beat Smith in superbrawl (did I spell that right?). Now it was more suprising. By the way Smith should have been more in sight ;). After trailers I thought he is one of the main characters. Well...he is, but he didn't show his face much.
Superbrawl was some kind of disappointment to me. That flying thing was rather bad and I thought fight would have been longer.
Hugo Weaving's performance was once again excellent, but one other guy got my attention too. Bane's (I don't remember actor's name) job was VERY good. He totally convinced me. He imitated Hugo/Smith in a very remarkable way. :)
The Knocker

Excellent, and i do not say more, because more words are useless.
Tri.ni.T

I really enjoyed Revolutions and feel totally blessed to have the oportunity to be a part of this phenamena (sp?). I was sad to see the end come, but even Picasso had to put down the paint brush to one painting to start another. The Matrix trilogy will stay with me forever, though, for it has awakened in me a wanting for more, for answers, and then question those answers. I now see things through "Matrix" eyes. I know the trilogy will probably not win an Oscar (a huge shame), so just in case there is anyone who had anything to do with the making of the Matrix trilogy reading this....Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
cnm72

I think that the fiight Zion was one of the best underdog vs. bigdog moments that I have ever seen...

I liked that fact that it was not a typical hollywood ending with Neo & Trinity riding off into the sunset

I think the gratuitous club scene in the beginning was terrible and utterly passee... if you are groing to do it at least do it in a groundbreaking and fresh way

in the end the movie was a blur... like they were trying way too hard to make it meaty... I would have prefered a more simple and clean ending
sideswipe

the fight scene in revo was completely underdog. thats what i like about it. the fact that people knew that they would be destroyed , yet they didnt care. they just wanted to kill as many as possible.

although it was disturbing seeing trinty die like that, i was sort of glad, cos what else could she have done? in the machine city they would have eaten her alive. i belive she knew that.



btw where can i get some dogstar music? i dont care that it has keanu reeves in it, it that music rocks!! the whole soft punk/rock is mad as!!
Mr. Anderson137

Now while it wasn't the best of all the three it was better than Reloaded by a long shot! First of course the best was the first, Revolutions was the second best, and Reloaded was the least best.

yes i already have seen the third one. i just can't wait till it comes out on DVD

It's going to be great on DVD. I would have liked more kung-fu in it. However, the Zion attack scene totally made up for everything. It did lose it's surprise which made M1 & M2 great. The ending was quite a twist. Although I would have loved an all out battle to the finish. Maybe seeing the matrix rebooted and some matrix phenomena. The head thing wasn't so great, but the machine world was dope. The Hell Club and the Super Burly Brawl scenes were the coolest. Excellent!
neo7272003

The movie was an amazing experience for me and even though I didn't like that Neo had to die it was still a great movie. This trilogy could be called the Star Wars of the new generation.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hannuka to everyone. Stay plugged in.

the last movie was great except for the ending neo should have live although he would have had to find a new girlfriend

I loved every minute of it....I'm so glad I went to the IMAX theater instead of the regular theater....it was awesome because I felt as if I was really in the movie. Even though I have to agree there was something missing but I'm having a hard time putting my finger on it....I can't wait for M3 to come out on DVD so I can watch it over and over! Overall I loved it! I think it was the best out of all 3.....:)
