The Matrix
Revolutions is supposed to be the climax of this franchise, but in the
end, it turned out to be the worst of the three. The movie actually brought the
whole Matrix saga to an end, but in an anticlimactic kind of way.
The movie is
said to have cost close to the same as the
second film, The Matrix Reloaded, but due to (in my opinion) the
loss of interest caused by the second movie leaving you with more questions
than answers, you’re left wondering what the whole point is. This could be why
the last film made about the same as the first but only half of what the second
made.
Also, out of the
three, this one had the lowest review ratings. The second movie draws you to a
point and tells you that all of this has happened five times before, so there’s
a possibility that things might not change—the Matrix will reset, and the war will
continue. But this sixth reboot of the Matrix is supposed to be different
because, in this new version, love is involved. Neo’s (Keanu Reeves) love for
Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) is supposed to be the difference between “The One”
in this sixth Matrix reboot and the others, and the Oracle believes that’s all
it will take.
The movie
focuses more on change and the ability to trust yourself rather than what’s
going on around you. At the end of the second film, we saw that Neo’s power
extends beyond the Matrix into the real world. In The
Matrix Reloaded, Neo fell into a coma because he used his power too
soon in the real world and got stuck in a place between the Matrix and the real
world.
The movie
carries on for a long time, keeping you on the edge of your seat. Neo goes up
to face the Source, Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) has practically taken over the
Matrix, and the machines are closing in on Zion. For a long time, you’re kept
on the edge of your seat, eagerly waiting to see how it will all play out in
the end.
The visual
effects here aren’t as captivating as they were in the second film because they
seem recycled. But one thing that’s very captivating is Niobe’s (Jada Pinkett
Smith) driving scene. Even though you know it’s all visual effects and CGI,
they made it incredibly tense.
So, at the end of the second film, you may not want to carry on (I didn’t), but I guess there’s no point in not finishing it.
