Matrix Revolutions - Movie

Ahhh yes, the "love 'em or hate 'em" Matrix sequels. Well, to give you an idea of my opinions on the franchise until this point - Matrix 9.5, Animatrix 8, Reloaded 8.75 (having rewatched the lot the day before seeing this!). With Reloaded I enjoyed it first time around at the cinema but I found it even better when watching again on DVD. I expect the same will be true with Revolutions. It's a good end to the trilogy. It doesn't stand on its own quite as well as the other two films but it's still very good. The very ending, from the resolution of the Smith/Neo fight onwards, doesn't quite work. I could see what they tried to get across but I don't think they quite succeeded. Until that point though it was a very good film to watch. It provides interesting visuals, interesting plotting and interesting ideas right up until the end, which is what a good sci-fi series should. The sequels were never going to match the originality and excellence of the first film but as a trilogy the lot has been excellent. Go & see it and make up your own mind, but hopefully you'll enjoy it as I did.

8/10
