Matrix Revolutions

I personally enjoyed it (saw it in English).

A few pro's (does not contain spoilers):

- The "For Zion" battle is just excellent. I'm an old Games Workshops Warhammer 40K fan, some of you know what I mean :p
- I love the aesthetic of the Train/Trainman scenes, esp. the first one (beg. of film).

Cons:

- The fact that the Oracle doesn't know any other verb than "think", "believe" and "do".
- The "blue sky with moon" passage.
- The most idiotic reply in the film: "Do it kid" (just before Gate 3 is shot by the lad).
- The slowdown passage when Smith gets punched just looks like a bad copy of an old Seegio Leone.

But the Zion battle saves it all, *that* was epic.
 
ARGH! Just got back from it and believe it or not...I think that the movie ruined the entire series for me. They ended the movie how a movie should end...WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM?!?!

Ok, here we go:

First of I give them props for the amazing effects and cinematography. Especially the zion battle (towards the very end of the first bridge). Stunning effects that really take your breathe away. But what's with the cheesy effects at the very, very end of the movie?

Story wise I feel like killing somebody (Haha, get it, kill somebody). Whatever you do DO NOT make a movie end like that. That has got to be the worst ending in HISTORY!

I'll write up a review once I stop throwing up.
 
Possible Spoiler. But I doubt it.

Remember Neo punching Agent Smith in the face towards the end... when it is in slow motion and close up.

Cheesiest. Effect. Ever.

(IMHO anyway.)
 
Definite SPOILER question!

Ok, you guys.
Now you've rambled about the ending until I can't take it anymore...

I have not seen nr. 3 YET (havn't had the time) but juring the last couple of months I've had some theorys about what will happen in the last movie.
Aspecially with Trinity (I asked myself "she's got something up her sleve...she's a good guy but...there IS something more about her untold) etc.

From what I read above from all of you...there's nothing about anything like that and all the talk goes to a "cheesy" sequence and a "lousy ending".
------------------ ------------------------------------ ----------------------
Question: What's up with the ending? Everybody dies? Neo and Trinity? What happens to them?

It doesn't matter if I know. It won't hinder me from going to see the movie at all. And I will buy the film on dvd too (like the others).

I saw it.

Don't see it.

For the love of god don't see it. If you do see it, leave when you see the giant face thing that was in the trailer. The first hour or so was pretty good (better than Reloaded anyway), but once the Neo - Smith(s) fight scene starts, it all goes downhill. The fight looked downright stupid and the ending, well, I almost cried. And not because the ending was sad. Because the ending was so stupid.

Think Star Wars Episode 1.

Hiya, MikeXpop...plz read your pm ;)

Actually I was quite surprised about the movie. Maybe all those warnings made me expect really less of it and I liked it. No action movie can compete with those scenes in Matrix Revolution. And the end? Well, don't know if anyone said how it will end. I don't want to spoil it for those who didn't watch before. But I was quite statisfied with that one too. Few questions still remained, but this is good to be discussed with friends! ;)
 
There's still the animatrix prequels ... an there can be other media to carry on the matrix story: weren't there rumors of a massive online game thinghy?
 
Sigh, the whole story arc of the Matrix could have been subverted if these machines could have just rebuilt the desktop during the first movie. :p

Seriously though, I liked the animatrix more than the movies.
 
Well, thanks for ruining it for me, Gambit. ;) It's all good, though. Once I saw your post, I was like, oh geez that's just great, but I still enjoyed it and I deliberately avoided this thread until such.

I think this movie was quite good. It's full of action and the ending works rather well for me, and the people saying stuff like leave after the face or Smith's face looks cheesy (those who've seen it know ;)) don't know how to enjoy a movie. Well, maybe you do, and this just isn't for you. But I thought this movie was very fitting to the story, and I thoroughly enjoyed it and Reloaded.
 
I liked all 3...overall i loved the series..and the animatrix, and the sometimes hard to follow story line..i'm sure this isn't the last we'll see from Neo...it's just too much of a money maker to go away, heh.
 
I wish the Matrix were a TV series or something... now that I've seen the final movie, there's nothing left to anticipate, except possibly the game.
 
Ugh, a TV series would be horrible. Not enough $$ to pour into it. Matrix producer already says no Matrix 4 (considering the lukewarm box office, no surprise). Maybe more AniMatrix or video games, but that's all folks.
 
Well, I saw Revolutions on Sunday. I bought a nice 1.5 Liter Coke and some gummy bears. Good stuff!
Well, the movie was fine. I went in not expecting too much from reading the threads here, and came out liking the film.
My big complaint about Revolutions and ReLoaded were the stupid lovie dovie sh!t with Neo & Trinity. Too much focus, completely unnecessary. They seem very uncomfortable together. I just feel like to much focus was placed on it. Well, maybe it wasn't even that. Maybe it was because they seemed so uncomfortable with each other that made the scenes so bad.
Overall, I liked the movie. The whole trainstation scene was pretty deep.
 
I just wanted to tell you guys that in anticipation of additional Matrix storylines and movies and what-not, there actually ARE plans to release a Matrix MMORPG. Nobody knows whether it will take place in between the second and third movie or somehow AFTER the third movie, but UbiSoft is apparently programming it here in Montreal.

Personally, I would want it to be after the third movie. I still think there's a lot of potential in a storyline where some robots are still against the humans whereas others are willing to collaborate with the humans.

For those wondering where this news comes from, it's SlashDot.

Matrix movies, Animatrix, Enter the Matrix = Hot Stuff! Most people obviously cannot appreciate great stuff... The same happens/will happen with Star Wars, Star Trek, and LOADS of other Sci-Fi stuff... :rolleyes:

For those who didn't like/enjoy ANY Matrix stuff, I have a VERY serious proposal for you: Go and watch Sopranos or something and leave us alone :p
 
The last two had NONE of the style, innovation and originality of the first. Reloaded was top heavy with too much emphasis on Zion and the whole hippy dance thing. Too much time getting tied up in knots with endless pretentious bull about existance/reality/whatever. The first film contained none of this crap and was the better for it. It dealt with these issues without the need to resort to bad dialogue and ponderous direction. The Wachowski brothers have produced two traditional sequels: big budget, lesser script and too much self-indulgence topped off with an open ending and the possibility of MORE. Nuff said. Revolutions is disappointing and proves that Reloaded was not a blip but an indication of what was to come. I loved the first film and stil watch it regularly but since then the Matrix series has been a turkey
