Where I loved the first Matrix for its great mix of special effects and philosophical story, and the second Matrix just for being a very entertaining action movie, I couldn't see any of it in this third of the trilogy.

Mostly this movie is about Agent Smith fighting and robots shooting at robots. Neo himself is lost for most of the time, other characters are either shooting their way back home, or shooting to defend their home. Not much philosophy there. Lots of action though, but not entertaining at all. Main characters were turned into side-characters, so I had nobody to care about. It was clear how the story would end, so no real reason to watch, except for the pretty special effects.

The part of this movie that impressed me most was the very booming voice of the machine mind at the end, which says enough about the rest of the movie.. I was actually bored and on the verge of turning it off. Wouldn't have missed much if I did.

Better than "Reloaded" but nowhere near the first "Matrix" movie.

The ending to a trilogy that needn't be a trilogy at all.

Maybe it's because I saw all three in succession this time but I really grew tired of the whole story. At the end I felt rather exausted in making sense of a story I thought I had figured out at the conclusion of the first part. And again it was CGI overkill. Where is the point, in having tens of thousands objects on the screen, when you can't make out details? It's just one blurry mess. It was always said that it was written as a trilogy but I really think they could have done the whole of the second and third in one 150 min hour movie. And in the end that movie might have been more satisfactory.
The way I see it the Wachowski (then) Brothers had a great idea but got carried away during the process of filmmaking by a more-more-more fanboy attitude.

Bit bored compared to previous two

Ultimately it's a letdown to end the trilogy on. Perhaps a lot of that was due to not spending much of its runtime in the vastly more entertaining and bombastic matrix world. Instead focusing more on the "real world" and the war with the machines. It's just not as exciting. That said, I don't really see any other way they could've wrapped this story up. Ultimately we're given exactly what we were promised from the beginning. As such, it's a satisfying conclusion. It's just not as fun as the previous two movies.

Highly underrated. Similar to the second movie, understanding the low ratings because the mid part of the movie is so **drawn-out**.

Extremely flawed, like a film of two halves.

There's the bit that is Matrix. And then there's 45 minutes or so of something so poor it resembles a really cheap Terminator Salvation.

The Matrix bit isn't perfect - in fact he cheapen the whole trilogy having it end the way it does. The action and effects are okay but the plot is an unsatisfactory ending.

The sudden desire to give us a whole heap of Zion is a waste of our time.

Im curious to see the new instalment as it clearly isn't going to be an easy job to resurrect the plot from the point we left.


5/10

Big, big disappointment. It would be much better if there trilogy wasn't a trilogy. The first part was great and sufficient. But the fight in the air this pulp! And Link

Super weird ending

Neo has done his job and can leave? ;) Special effects, as usual, at a high level, a bit of a philosophical flair and we have the final.

Woulda been a 5 without the Mechs

Ugh. The end of The Matrix trilogy hardly spends any time in the Matrix...this was more like a bad Terminator installment.
