The Matrix Revolutions is the final part in The Matrix saga. In it, Zion is preparing for the oncoming onslaught of the machines in which they stand no chance of survival. Meanwhile, Neo is held captive by the Merovingian at a train station so Trinity & Morpheus set out on a journey to rescue him so he can save everyone.
This one suffers from the same thing Reloaded did. It's too pretentious and some of the philosophical aspects feel forced. The actions scenes aren't as good either, so there's less to keep you entertained as some scenes can drag on a bit.
I was probably more psyched for this one than Reloaded because of one thing: The war with the machines. I remember being stunned when I saw it first, it looked absolutely incredible. hundreds of thousands of sentinels moving so effortlessly, almost as one giant mechanical creature. It reminded me of the way schools of fish can swim like one giant fish, it's almost like there's just one consciousness. There was so many flashing lights and things to see on the screen I almost felt dizzy! The final fight was overblown, I know they were trying to raise the bar in what could be done in a movie but I still think we have a ways yet before we can do something like that with a high degree of realism.
The acting is good again, albeit not as good as the first one as the script can be rather clunky at times. If you want to see a Matrix film I suggest you stick with the first one, it's not as bogged down and has better action scenes.

Advantages: Epic end to the story, blinding special effects Disadvantages: Plot felt slightly tired and the grand philosophical theme a little contrived
