The Matrix
Revolutions
Starring Keanu
Reeves
Warner Bros.
The war is drawing to an end.
The machines are drawing closer
with every hour. Smith is growing
more powerful by the minute.
And the only man who can save
both worlds lies in a coma.
From such a high starting
point, “The Matrix: Revolutions”
does a remarkable job of sustain
ing its momentum after a six-
month wait for release. After res
cuing Neo, the captains decide to
head back to help defend Zion
while Neo and Trinity go to the
Machine City. In Zion, the
defenders are doing their best to
save their city from overwhelm
ing odds and the Wachowski
brothers deliver a special effects-
laden battle that tops nearly any
thing done before it.
Meanwhile, Neo and Trinity
approach Machine City on the
surface, slogging their way
through machine after machine in
hopes of reaching the heart of the
city. Upon arrival, Neo confronts
the central Artificial Intelligence
to bargain for humanity’s salva
tion at the price of defeating
Smith. A deal is reached and Neo
re-enters the Matrix to fight Smith
in one of the most ambitious fight
scenes ever created.
On its own merits, this would
be a decent movie to watch but,
taken into the context of the previ
ous two movies it is sorely lacking
everything audiences have come
to expect from “The Matrix” fran
chise. The six-month wait and the
massive expectations are a lot to
live up to. No movie could have
done that, and while
“Revolutions” makes an
admirable try, it comes up short.
The plot does the series justice but
it is clogged by focusing on minor
characters, trying to develop love
interests while tying everything
together in too short of a time-
frame. The lines and dialogue are
nothing brilliant, but instead are
hobbled by cliches that drag the
movie down.
The final scene with Neo and
Trinity is as hackneyed and
