 The Matrix Revolutions (2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Although there weren't as many scenes inside The Matrix this time around I still found the effects of the "real" world to be awe inspiring at the least and the battle for Zion was an incredible display of special effects.
All three Matrix films have been inspired by Japanese animé comics and that is very visible in the final battle as one can't help but think of Dragonball for instance.
My conclusion about Revolutions is that you will either love or you will hate it but in my opinion Revolutions is almost as good as the first one and one of the best films I have ever seen.

 Matrix Revolutions, The (2003) - Review - Piddleville
I find I don't feel as kindly toward this final Matrix film as I did toward Reloaded, though it may be a slightly better movie.
It's as if once the world of the movies are established, once the main characters are in place and the heroes take on their roles (Spider-man as Spider-man, Neo as the One), the movies go flat and we're left with great images that really don't amount to much.
In the end, I think The Matrix Revolutions, especially seen in the context of the entire trilogy, serves as a caution about the dangers of hype.

 The Matrix Revolutions
At the end of Reloaded, Neo (Keanu Reeves, The Matrix Reloaded, Hardball) discovered that he could use his powers outside the Matrix, the Machines were tunneling towards Zion, there was a traitor on Neo's ship, and Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving, The Matrix Reloaded, The Two Towers) was finding that he also had some newfound powers.
Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss, The Matrix Reloaded, Chocolat) and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne, Mystic River, The Matrix Reloaded) journey back into the Matrix to try to make a deal with Merovingian (Lambert Wilson, The Matrix Reloaded, Les Tombales) for Neo and to consult the Oracle (Mary Alice, Sunshine State, Catfish in Black Bean Sauce).
The originality of The Matrix (which, storywise, wasn't actually that original) is gone, replaced by visuals.

The Matrix of the Fourth Age is a voluntary construct.
The terms of expression in the Matrix were remade, but the essential premise was the same -- humans are still commanded to do what they are told, to accept their world without question.
The Matrix is, in William Gibson's language, a consensual hallucination.

 Filmtracks: The Matrix Revolutions (Don Davis)
The Matrix Revolutions: One of the most storied modern series of films comes to an abrupt end in 2003, with both The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions dazzling audiences in the same year.
The music for The Matrix Reloaded was intended to be the most stylish of the three scores, adding considerable influence from Juno Reactor and Rob Dougan to the Don Davis equation.
For The Matrix Revolutions, the script demanded a more powerful orchestral presence for the build-up to a fantastic, lengthy battle sequence at the end of the film.

 The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
The Matrix Revolutions, which is mostly set in the "real world" ups the ante on heavy metal action in a big way with hundreds of bullet-spewing mecha laying into thousands of swarming squid-like sentinels.
Revolutions does succeed in sidestepping some of the gripes lobbed at the first half of Reloaded, but deserves to be plastered with invective concerning the failed attempt to make Neo and Trinity's love a central and poignant theme.
Revolutions may not leave audiences with the same awe of a kid in the candy store for the first time as it may have felt with the first installment, but the Wachowskis deliver a visually impressive film nonetheless.

 The Matrix Revolutions
While Reloaded and Revolutions might be technically proficient, they are largely devoid of the kind of wonder and storytelling that hooked us the first time.
Though visually spectacular, 'The Matrix Revolutions' is a disappointing climax to what had previously been one of the great movie series of recent years.

For those of you who have fallen off a cliff, The Matrix Revolutions is the third and, thankfully, final film in the amazingly disappointing Matrix trilogy.
The Matrix Reloaded was a really long, dull series of philosophical ruminations in between a few action sequences, some of which were cool.
The action sequences in The Matrix Reloaded were, if nothing else, occasionally fun to watch because you hadn't seen that stuff in a while.

 Matrix Revolutions, The (2003): Reviews
Overlong and underwhelming, The Matrix Revolutions reinforces the thinking that it’s a rare movie series in which the final chapter is the strongest.
Shot at the same time as "The Matrix Reloaded," this last installment is the shortest of the bunch at 129 minutes, but I still succumbed to special-effects hypnosis in the last hour.
The Year Of The Matrix will be remembered as an indulgence for fans, while the original movie will be affectionately held as a separate entity by a bigger crowd, much as the original "Star Wars" trilogy hasn't really been tainted by divisions over Episodes I and II.

 The Matrix Revolutions
The Matrix (as I see it and not necessarily as the Brothers intended it) was a story about freeing humanity from a cyber bondage and it wasn't just about a couple thousand underground people and their efforts to save their city.
matrix rev certainly made me think a hell of a lot, but i was actually very please with myself cos i managed to make it through til just before the last 10 minutes before i completely lost all understanding.
Matrix is based on a future for the humans in a known "universe" and star wars is "in a galaxy far far away"...and there it should stay in my opinion.

 "The Matrix Revolutions" reviewed by Steve Sailer for UPI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
With "The Matrix Revolutions," the virtual reality franchise that has been the "Star Wars" of the Internet generation, has definitively crashed and burned.
Last May, "The Matrix Reloaded" was the most highly anticipated movie of 2003, but the new "Matrix Revolutions" is perhaps the most dreaded.
The only clear improvement I can see is that the kung-fu wire acrobatics that seemed so exciting in the first episode and so played out in the second have largely been replaced by a whopper of a sci-fi battle scene in which the machines drill down into the underground human refuge of Zion.

 THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS
I suppose that years of watching X-Files episodes should have inured one to the idea that anything would be properly explained or resolved by the end of this third — and final — film in the series, but it is still one cop-out of an ending.
Except for reasons of pure avarice they are almost as unnecessary as the two Star Wars “prequels” (Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones) although not quite as bad.
Reloaded and Revolutions add nothing to what was already expounded in the original 1999 Matrix flick.

Picking up precisely where The Matrix Reloaded left off, this 130-minute finale finds Neo (Keanu Reeves) at a virtual junction, defending the besieged human enclave of Zion by confronting the attacking machines on their home turf, while humans combat swarms of tentacled mechanical sentinels as Zion's fate lies in the balance.
With the requisite battle scenes that pit the underdog against a superpower, "The Matrix Revolutions" is a fast-paced, adrenalin-packed movie that owes its entertainment to action and special effects.
The biggest mistake the Wachowski brothers made with The Matrix Revolutions was assuming the audience had emotionally latched onto the characters after the first two films, when in fact they had not.

The opening reels of Matrix Revolutions do nothing to dispel the feeling of exhausted disappointment that set in during the second half of The Matrix Reloaded.
On the DVD: when the first Matrix DVD was released, with never-before-seen features such as the "Follow the White Rabbit" option, it set a benchmark against which subsequent discs were judged.
It was daring to move away from the matrix itself alot more and to focus on real life and the battle in the real world, but this did not really pay off aswell as it should have done.

 The Flick Filosopher | The Matrix Revolutions
So I will continue to live in the universe as it existed at the end of The Matrix Reloaded, in which Neo is still comatose and the Sentinels have not yet attacked Zion, a universe in which I finish the story in my head in a far more satisfactory way.
The centuries of philosophy that was so thrillingly distilled in the The Matrix and into Reloaded is now but a muddle, one that thinks it's blazing a new path but just makes no sense at all.
The centerpiece of Revolutions is the battle of the Dock, in which swarming hoards of Sentinels attack the entry point of the city of Zion after some huge-

 The Matrix Revolutions - Movie Review
In some places like a massively inferior version of Aliens, 'Revolutions' features seemingly endless battle scenes, firstly with the raging (and at times fairly gory) war between man and machine, and then with yet another tiresome exchange of punching and counter-punching between Neo and Agent Smith.
'The Matrix' was a movie with a fantastic concept and will deservedly go down in film lore, but the two misguided and wholly unnecessary sequels have, for me, taken much of the enjoyment out of even that original.
In the biggest failure, Matrix Revolutions, it had great effects and a few decent fight scenes (its the Matrix, duh!).

Like a similar sequence in the first Matrix, this gun battle takes place in a lobby with slow-motion bodies careening on walls and ceilings as if gravity ceased to exist.

Matrix Revolutions is the first film in the cinema history to be released at exactly the same time everywhere in the world within about a minute.
What was meant to crown the first two episodes (although the last two have to be considered as only one film) reveals itself to be a total waste of what was built until then.

 "The Matrix Revolutions" - Salon
I'm sticking to my guns on the subject of "The Matrix Reloaded," which broadened and deepened the entire "Matrix" saga, adding new layers of political and cultural commentary while raising the action-movie stakes.
"Revolutions" basically jettisons all its plot complexities as it plunges toward its final splashdown, dumping every larger philosophical or epistemological or whateverological question that's been hanging over the series.
In the end, this is neither more nor less than a solid action-adventure flick (with some vague New Age ideology in the margins), maybe the third- or fourth-best one I'll see this year.

 the matrix revolutions
Not that The Matrix Revolutions redeems anything other than Hollywood's belief that bigger is better.
Unlike the first two films, Revolutions takes place almost entirely in the bleak, gun-metal sanctuary of Zion, the last stand of humanity, which is being threatened by the foot soldiers of the machines -- writhing, relentless squid-like things called Sentinels.
If Reloaded was ponderously philosophical, Revolutions is ponderously violent, with none of the freaky, eye-popping set pieces that distinguished its predecessors (I'm beginning to consider the original Matrix an example of taut, surprising storytelling in comparison with its follow-ups).

After watching "The Matrix: Revolutions", I was at a loss.
To sum up, as most people with a nervous system know, Matrix evolutions was the culmination of the battle between humans and machines.
While it was evident from the middle of the first film that Neo and Trinity would be love interests and you sort of rooted for them, by the end of Revolutions you are hoping one will die so you don't have to hear the awful dialogue spoken to one another.
