Although the plot and storyline were a little predictable, I was really impressed by some of the acting, camera-work and better than Hollywood graphics and visuals. The CGI was nicely done and contributed seamlessly to the movie. The acting wasn't bad either. This movie was clearly a labor of love considering the attention to details and overall look. Ignore the obvious plot and story development, just sit back and enjoy this one as a pretty picture, knowing that all good things don't always have to come out of Hollywood.

The Matrix Revolutions
(2003)
It's the best original SiFi trilogy since Star Wars I,II,III
5 November 2003
Why, because LOTR maybe better but it is still an adaptation and it is not SiFi. My only critique at the Wachowskis is that they used there Anime influences wrongly. They could have made better use of it in there dialogue and storyline. People will surely thrash `Revolutions' because it's is easer to be negative and condescending in the hope to sound "intelligent" than to appreciate the effort. For us true SiFi fans is has been a long drought since the first instalment of Star Wars (the second instalment is still a `wait and see'), the genre was considered dead. `Lost in Space' and `Star Trek' (the one about the Borgs not the last one) were just a drop in the bucket and most of all .those weren't trilogies.
So, why I loved Revolutions? Simply because it got my juices flowing. The actions sequences were decent with a one special note for the `Zion breach' sequence (A+ action). The story got me guessing nicely and I got my in trance for the whole 129 min with one exception where I went like `just shut-up and die'. If you've seen it you'll know what I'm talking about. It was to long and boring. The special effects weren't as spectacular as part 1 but they did some pretty good CGI and camera work with the sentinels. The Agent Smith-Neo final fight had some glitches and I favour the Reloaded version.
Last but not least I enjoy, savour and value this SiFi trilogy because there will not nor has there been a (good) alternative for a long, long time. I suggest that every true SiFi action fan should do the same..please
