The Matrix 3: Revolutions

The Matrix 3: Revolutions (2003)

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Trinity may have avoided her fate in the second film, but she doesn't luck out again in this one. Neo meets another interesting challenge as he tries to save the colony without the use of his eyes. Still rather climatic, it feels as if they've dumped as much action and strife as they could in this film and forgotten the back story and purpose behind the whole line. Overall made for a disappointing end to what could have been a great trilogy.

This was a decent pick-up from the first film. A little more action than story line, but still interesting and well filmed. Neo really picks up the pace and shows off a bit here as he's become more comfortable with own abilities and fate. There are still plenty of twists ahead, especially when Trinity is also on the line.

I remember feeling as if I'd seen most of this movie despite not having any desire to see it at the time as many teachers loved using various clips from the movie as visual aids in class. By the time I did watch it all the way through, it was all very familiar and I didn't really feel like I'd missed anything from the few pieces that had been blank before. While it was somewhat revolutionary for it's time with all the coding and high-tech action in a very different world than our own, I almost felt that it had been over-hyped and therefor wasn't as impressed or taken with it as I might have been otherwise. Still, it is a unique story that is very well done and interesting to watch every time it comes on.
