Review of The Matrix Revolutions (2003) by Luis T — 01 Sep 2017

The 1999 generation were too blown away by the first Matrix to really give this a chance. They built up their perfect closing chapter in their heads and in return tore apart an above average, masterfully crafted trilogy finale.

It's best seen immediately after Reloaded as "chapter 2" of the 2-part story. The film is magnificent. The pace for the first 30 minutes is thrilling. I loved Captain Rolan and a dejected Morpheus.

The chase between the Sentinels and the Hammer is one of the most impressive sequences ever put to film. I loved the resolution between Neo and Bane. It seamlessly builds to an enjoyable battle for Zion.

But everything builds to a rousing 3rd act as Neo and Trinity must break grounds and enter the Machine world with an almost 0% chance of succeeding. While the final scene fell flat for me, the whole 3rd act is a masterpiece of science fiction.

I'm glad to hear that the sequels are being very well received by a new generation of viewers. They were 2 films that were never going to be accepted by the original generation that saw Matrix 1 as a life changing experience.

They were literally ahead of their time.
