In a dystopia overrun by robots, Neo (Keanu Reeves), mankind's greatest hope, is trapped in a limbo world. Meanwhile, the majority of the planet's population remains in a state of suspended virtual reality. The few humans who are cognizant of the grim realities of the world desperately try to hold off their mechanical enemies long enough for Neo to escape and save the day, but things turn disastrous when all-powerful computer program Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) arrives in the flesh.

Audience Reviews for The Matrix Revolutions

  • Feb 26, 2017
    Like it's predecessor, the final installment of The Matrix trilogy is overcomplicated in plot, yet even more excessive in CGI. The entire 2nd half of the film is a huge barrage of special effects, and while it's not a huge bore, the brilliant choreography has been sacrificed in it's place; save for the final battle between Mr. Anderson and Mr. Smith, and it's always a pleasure watching the two stars square off. Fun moments aside, it feels overlong like Reloaded and is just as unnecessary.

    Another big disappointing sequel to "The Matrix," though still a little superor to the very bad second movie. This movie is really a CGI extravaganza and that overshadows the aspects of a story that could have been very interesting, had the Wachowskis spend more time developing it, than just releasing six months after the second one. The performances are watchable this time around as you can see that Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne really tries to safe this franchise through their likeable performances. Hugo Weaving simply seems like he doesn't want to be there. The story isn't as complicated as in the second movie, but it's just as underwhelming as that one and as you watch the movie again, you really understand why the Wachowskis decided to stop the ideas of future installments. While this isn't the worst of the three, it's definitly a horrible ending to a promising start.

    Disappointing in almost every regard, The Matrix Revolutions is neither conclusive enough to be satisfying nor coherent enough to even follow it. The final battle is impressive however.

    Gripping and action-packed but the film overall isn't so much to celebrate.
