This movie had me anticipating huge possibilities. Alternate universe/ reality, ultimate endgame battles etc. Instead one can only wonder what could have been. Countless missteps in character development and a very, v-e-r-y boring movie experience topped off with a final fight that falls flatter than a pancake.
This was no ordinary let down. In the pantheon of missed opportunities this one was huge.
Matrix 3 may be a descent movie on its own, it might be a worthy sidekick to Star Trek 2 wraith of khan, event horizon or dark city But we were talking about the Matrix here. I mean seriously. When this movie ended i was stunned into silence. I felt as if my dreams had been reduced to a pile of smoldering rubble. This bold yet huge disappointment is shockingly disconnected from it’s initial target audience in a way that must be seen to be believed or examined and scrutinized as if it were a viral infection run amok.
This movie takes a sledgehammer to everything that made the matrix magical. In such a way creating a more egregious violation of trilogy ethics and reducing the fond memories of the “much” cooler original. Sadly this movie just doesn’t have the wonder of the original or it’s heartbeat or pulse. The magic is replaced with long c.g.i. shots that are supposed to be so dazzling we can’t believe our eyes but the problem is the movie tries too hard and ends up looking foolish for reaching for the Christlike images, references and product placement for Jesus “the one”. Neo was cooler before this pathetic money grab spoiled a classic.
Not revolutionary, not groundbreaking. Pathetic, feeble and a disgrace.The most disappointing finale in the history of cinema.
