Critics Consensus

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

David Ansen Newsweek 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. Mar 12, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Finale with same heavy violence, weaker script. Rated: 2/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Zzzzzz. Rated: C May 4, 2005 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 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. Sep 9, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Jul 12, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie 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.

Jack t Previously of The Matrix. Well, if you think it can't get any worse for The Matrix getting the fourth film after the ending of The Matrix Revolutions, you are solely mistaken. I can only come to know what know what to expect from the fourth one but I haven't seen it but I know it will be s**t but let's get on with the supposedly final film of the trilogy as I said today, The Matrix Revolutions. After the events of Reloaded, Neo and Bane still lie unconscious in the medical bay of the ship Mjolnir. Inside the Matrix, Neo is trapped in a subway station named Mobil Ave, a transition zone between the Matrix and the machine world. He meets a "family" of programs, including a girl named Sati. The "father" tells Neo the subway is controlled by the Trainman, a program loyal to the Merovingian. When Neo tries to board a train with the family, the Trainman refuses and overpowers him. Seraph contacts Morpheus and Trinity on behalf of the Oracle, who informs them of Neo's confinement. They enter Club Hel, where they confront the Merovingian and force him to release Neo. Troubled by visions of the Machine City, Neo visits the Oracle, who reveals that Smith intends to destroy both the Matrix and the real world. She tells him, "everything that has a beginning has an end." On the bahalf of Jurassic Park 3 and Scream 3 that many don't like, I can say the same thing about this one that it is so s**t and why is it so awful about it. Hey, I might so Spider Man 3 in the near future. Hehehe. Neo didn't get enough screen time especially in a big epic battle where you don't get to see him and Trinity in it, where there's a battle between people of Zion vs the Squid machines. The war against the machines. Yeah, Terminator reference in it, no pun intended. Just like The Lord of the Rings. As a third film itself I can see why people don't like it 'cause there are moments in this that really put them off like myself for the least part. I'd still enjoy it but otherwise, who can tell? The Oracle as I know is played by a different actress because the original actress herself has passed away just two years before the second one is being released. You can tell the difference between the two Oracle's on why is she replaced 'cause the first Oracle is dead. I can convince you all that this does not surpass the likes of The Return of the King, the third Lord of the Rings movie. I know this is going to be similar with their big epic battles. I know they can try to make it better than that movie, but no. With the film being the final one out the trilogy which I'm supposed to be proud of, but NOOO, they just had to shove the ending trilogy up it's a**e by making the fourth one called The Matrix Resurrections. Oh, Dear God, I am not looking forward to this one but what else can I do? None. I'll just have to wait and see if it is s**t or not. Mostly it's s**t. I like The Matrix Revolutions for what it is but it's nothing much to it's predecessors. And with the exceptions that two sequels being released in the exact same year, it really takes it's time for you and me to watch the entire trilogy in one day. The only thing I can only remember is one thing in two films is the hand bit where someone does that with their hand before someone charges up to them but that only happened like only once. I know the first one did it multiple times but the last two did it only once which is quite a step back. So with that being said of the entire trilogy which I did finally, I'm just gonna have to leave it there as it is. So I enjoyed the entire Matrix. The Trio are great and I don't think I can say the same thing about Resurrections so if I enjoyed the fourth one, it's not going to be garbage. If it is then screw The Matrix Resurrections. Tut-tut-tut. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Emma F This movie was more about the special effects than the characters and plot. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review Eric R Buena analogía de la colaboración interclasista, mala decisión de Neo Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review Jim D Doesn't tell much of a story, and the fighting is much more lackluster and boring than the matrix reloaded. A good-enough ending to the story. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Fabio J O principal motivo para o último filme da trilogia não dar certo se resume ao mesmo de seu antecessor: a história se sustenta em um romance que se nega a ser desenvolvido. O problema dos roteiristas em aprofundar relações se agrava ainda mais quando é simplesmente impossível sentir qualquer tipo de preocupação com a possível morte de certos personagens, como Link e Zee, por exemplo. Onde tentam criar uma história emocionante para ambos, mas falham já que não há qualquer tipo de desenvolvimento prévio, onde a sensação é de que foram simplesmente jogados na tela e que você precisa dar a mínima para eles porque sim. Além disso, a profundidade filosófica do primeiro filme parece ter sido substituída por diálogos completamente sem sentido, nos quais provavelmente nem os roteiristas sabiam o que queriam dizer ou provocar. O Agente Smith deixa de ser um vilão impactante e passa a ser uma entidade, que mesmo com os roteiristas se esforçando para tentar torná-lo ameaçador, não consegue fazer nada além de deixar a impressão de ser apenas uma pedrinha no sapato dos personagens principais. Resumindo a crítica à trilogia, Matrix só é lembrado como um clássico moderno pelo fato de que seu primeiro filme é excepcionalmente épico e carrega seus sucessores. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Gregory S I’ve watched this Trilogy a number of times. Love the story and characters, but this one let me down a bit. The script was not as good and the special effects were good not great. Think they should have spent more time developing the script and less time doing whatever it was that they were doing. But, at least it is 10 times better than Resurrections. That one was absolutely horrible. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
