Taking the Lord's name in vain.
The captain of one of the ships has a real foul mouth taking the Lord's name in vain constantly. Couldn't make it through the film.

Religious nut jobs
Don't be swayed by the hateful and resentful demeanor of the religious zealots leaving the film a poor rating. For starters Jesus and the Bible are hardly the first stories written down by man of a savior sacrificing himself for those who believe in him. So any correlation to the Bible is just false and derived from the single minded feeble and self serving perspective of these "religious" robots.Now that that is out of the way, this movie is a flawless ending to an amazing story about love and about the beautiful irrationality of the human spirit when stacked against the odds of a cold universe's cause and effect. Neo and Trinity travel to machine city and, inevitably, Neo faces off with agent Smith for a final fight. Zion completes it's final defense against the machines. The matrix and mankind are forever changed as a result and after getting a little older and watching all three movies over the last few days, I am honestly even more blown away by them than I was when I first viewed them.There are no huge plot holes like some of the others have said. It is obvious to anyone who does a little digging online that a clear and cohesive theme is communicated throughout all 3 movies. I'll likely watch them again in the near future!

Inspired from Bible
This movie is great because it is heavily inspired from Bible. Doomed humanity. Unbeatable enemy. Overwhelming odds. Prophecy for a savior. Savior that goes all the way to his death just to save the others who believe in him.Leave this movie alone and go read Bible, folks. Your battle is still on.

Other than a few fight scenes the movie is full of itself
What started off as a great story soon became watered down with easter eggs and bits from every possible source other than Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski. The script is filled with holes and inconsistencies and the direction sucks eggs. The few fight scenes become tiresome and the use of CG is terrible in some of the scenes. The characters look like they were rendered on a 8 bit computer.

Defeated the purpose of the first movie story
Storywise, it doesn't make sense. The original story was about a group of humans waking up from the matrix and establish a resistance to free other humans from the matrix. (Spoiler Alert) In this movie Neo negotiate a peace treaty with the matrix on behalf of the resistance to keep them alive by offering to kill the bad software (Smith) who took over the Matrix. We know that Neo is the profit who will defeat the AI and free humanity. But this didnt happen. the AI still using the humans to operate and the resistance are still underground. Will NEO eventually destroy the AI and free humans from its control? As a movie production it is very nice specially given the year in which it was made.

A strong ending to a highly entertaining trilogy! THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS didn't disappoint
I have to admit that even though I am just reviewing THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS here on Amazon I am one of those fans who had all three of the VHS tapes of the series. Gearing up for the new film to be released I rented them all to rewatch, and boy did this bring back all the great memories.EVERYTHING THAT HAS A BEGINNING HAS AN END.That line is so powerful when the Oracle and then Smith says it, and there is so much meaning in it. I love how this film allows us to see what some are willing to do for what they believe and stand for (both good and bad), and the importance of staying the course all the way to the end.We see sacrifices being made, choices being made and ultimately good being rewarded.Love how the journey of Neo came full circle in many respects from the first film. THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS is a film that will never get old, and the messages and action stay with you long after the film ends. Add in the music and you have a recipe for a successful cinematic event.

It's the matrix in 4k
IT's the same old movie, but in 4k with HDR. What else is there to say. Superb imaging and sound. I can't help but watch and enjoy the graphics, while at the same time just imaging how crazy they could have gotten with today's technology.

Amazing if you understand the metaphors
Now I want to preface this review by saying that I am biased towards these films. The acting is not the best, nor is the CGI special effects, nor are the fight scenes. Nevertheless, you have a story filled with metaphors (most of which allude to a biblical context) but can also be compared to how you view society today and even in the past. I believe this final film demonstrates a culmination of the series wonderfully. I cannot be angry simply because it doesn't follow the happily ever format so many seek in films and stories. The original writer (not the Wachovski brothers) did a wonderful job and I believe the directors executed this to the best of their abilities.

The Matrix Revolutions (double disc set).
The third in the trilogy, this was something of a disappointment to critics and probably some fans – I personally though it a far better-paced film than the second and switching much of the action to heavy, futuristic hardware battles between the machines worked better than seemingly endless martial arts sequences and shoot-outs, though there's plenty of that here as well.One must judge the trilogy as a whole and although in many ways it's a gallant failure in story-telling with it's complicated twists and unresolved threads, it remains a very influential series for it's treatment of action sequences and strong visuals; the CGI can look dated, but there's no denying that it set a bar for films of several different action genres.This 2-disc DVD set has the film on the first disc and all the extras are on the second; it's a bit of a slog going through some of this after the sheer weight of the movie (never mind the whole trilogy) but there is some interesting stuff contained in the featurettes.The movie itself has English subtitles available if required.

Trilogyitus Is Only Just Overted
The final movie in The Matrix series picks up straight from the end of Matrix Reloaded. There are two main special effect scenes in this movie. The first is where the machines invade Zion and the humans battle them in the Aliens style walkers. The second is the battle between Nea and Smith which is drawn out for about 5 minutes longer then it should have been. The rest of the movie is about wrapping things up and for the most part it does it pretty well.Revolutions is much better the Reloaded. The effects are better the story is better mainly because the writers new what was left to do. The main complaint with Revolutions is there is not a great deal of time spent in the actual Matrix. Most of the action is in Zion most of the conversations happen on board various vessels. It is as if they save the Matrix for the last battle and it must be protected before then. One more annoying thing in this movie is Trinity's death at the cinema it annoyed me on blu ray it was worse because it takes her so long to die. It would be like Yoda spilling everything he ever said before he died in Return Of The Jedi. The whole Smith being in the real world wears thin quickly but he is dismissed by a blined Neo who now has the same powers in the real world as he does in The Matrix don't know where that comes from but it seems to work.In closing this is a pretty good movie. It does what the final part of any trilogy should do tie up loose ends and go out on a high. Could it have been better ? Yes but not by much. I still think that Reloaded and Revolutions should have been one 3hour movie. But this does well for itself. It ends most story arcs and leaves it open for more in the future.

Resolution?
The finale of the original trilogy, this film contains some interesting plot twists and revelations, as well as more great action and special effects.

Back on form for the revolution
At last, a worthy successor for the original film. After the disappointment of the last film in the series it was hoped that this one could live up to the original and thankfully this film does. Starting with Neo in a coma and Zion under siege from the machine army, the film returns to the correct mix of storyline and action that saw the first film become so popular. Unfortunately the acting hasn’t improved much but that doesn’t spoil the film much and the CGI is improved dramatically from the last film. Although the ending is slightly anticlimactic and it still isn’t as good as the original, it is still a good sequel.
