I'm going to assume everyone has seen this movie by now and give a few things away. Close this thread if you haven't seen the movie.





I was very disappointed that they changed the woman playing the Oracle. I also was disappointed they didn't bring the twins back from part 2. They spent way too much time on CGI and not enough on story or acting. While it was sad that Neo and Trinity died, I think it was inevitable.

But I was incredibly dissatisfied with the ending because a "truce" between the machines and people seems utterly unlikely and fleeting at best. Both require domination of the other in order to survive.

There were a few gaping holes in the plot and that bothered me. The trilogy started off so well, and just petered out in the end. It's really a shame. I can't tell you how many movies I've seen like that. They have a great premise, excellent casting, and they start off great, but it seems like they run out of gas halfway and end the movie just to end it.

After seeing the second movie, and hearing what the Architect said, I thought the third movie would have people realize that they were in a matrix inside a matrix inside a matrix and they'd have to wake up again as they did in the first movie. This would have been an awesome plot twist.

On the 5 star scale I'd rate the movies like this.

The Matrix - 4.5 Stars
Matrix Reloaded - 3.5 Stars
Matrix Revolution - 2.5 Stars
