In a dystopia overrun by robots, Neo (Keanu Reeves), mankind's greatest hope, is trapped in a limbo world. Meanwhile, the majority of the planet's population remains in a state of suspended virtual reality. The few humans who are cognizant of the grim realities of the world desperately try to hold off their mechanical enemies long enough for Neo to escape and save the day, but things turn disastrous when all-powerful computer program Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) arrives in the flesh.

Critics Consensus

A disappointing conclusion to the Matrix trilogy as characters and ideas take a back seat to the special effects.

The original Matrix was full of dizzying surprises. But it's turned out that the Wachowskis didn't have many more tricks up their sleeves.

The Wachowskis may have something in their theory that the world is simply a complex operating system humans are simply virtual programs.... Their dialogue feels written by a computer program, and for that matter acted by a collection of CGI figures.

Deep Focus Review

Perhaps it’s wrong and narrow-minded to hope that the Wachowskis would only live up to their original film, but their brand of mythology expansion narrows the possibilities and limits the viewer’s enjoyment of this universe.

Rated: 2.5/4

Gone With The Twins

Just as much as the last entry was a piece of a story, this one is a fragment, telling so little of the yarn that it’s the least complex and most inessential of the series, save for the fact that it finally wraps up character loose ends.

Rated: 4/10

I believe releasing this six months after Reloaded was a mistake. It doesn't give the audience a chance to breathe. Despite that error, this movie plays it safe with its ending by copying a lot from other films like Return of the Jedi, The Two Towers, and Starship Troopers. We've seen this style and formula before, but now there's just more CGI.

I can comfortably say that this is the worst of the matrix movies so far, I still have yet to watch the 4th one, but the reason I've come to this conclusion is because there is almost no action at all which is what made the first two movies so exciting, and whenever there was action it felt underwhelming like not too much effort was put into it, this isn't a bad movie by any means but it feels like a bit of a let down based on the expectations we were left with from the previous movies. 6.5/10

While offering finality, it is not satisfying or clear. I think the Wachowskis tried to fit in too many ideas that they lost the clear plotline the first movie had.

They didn't even bring it full circle??? They set it up to end everything and then Nothing happens. Spoilers⬇️ They set the machine city as the end all to destroy the Matrix then Neo randomly decides to fight Smith and make peace with the machine?? Even though Neo knows the Matrix cycle??? It would've made sense if The matrix goes, Smith goes but no, The matrix is never broken and everyone died for basically nothing.
