While the humans defend their last city Zion, Neo and Trinity embark on a confrontation to save the human race.

Where the second Matrix movie, Matrix Reloaded, was accused of being too involved in itself—proposing many cryptic questions and giving few answers, the final installment Matrix Revolutions is much more straightforward. With the plot simplified, perhaps to placate a shallow movie-going public, Revolutions is expected to deliver in the action department. There certainly isn’t a lack of action but it is the lesser of the three films for certain.

Revolutions just did not propel the story much further. It was a quick wrap up of what some would say is an overindulgent sci-fi acid trip. The first film introduced us to this very interesting world while treating us to some of the best action and effects on screen to date. The second film propelled the story and upped the antie on the action. But Revolutions takes a step back on both counts: less story, inferior action. It needed to improve on only one of those fronts to be in league with the first two films but it fails to do so.

While a disappointment to many Matrix fans as a final piece to the series, Revolutions should satisfy most seeking science fiction action.

Directed by Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski.
