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.

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. Rated: 4/10 Jul 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Nick P Felt like my brain was unplugged from the Matrix… and left in airplane mode. Still, robots go boom. Respect. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Andrew P. Greatest trilogy. Fantastic ending. Does it get any better? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Kevin P A disappointing series finale that feels rushed, bloated, and boring. The acting has gotten increasingly unintentionally funny with its main leads underreact to everything, while its side characters act even cornier (I swear every human captain's one trait is screaming like a psycho). At times it feels more like star trek or Terminator or aliens than the matrix with so much of the movie taking place with the sentinel battle in the real world instead of the matrix and less focus on the main trio. Trinity and Morpheus in particular get shafted hard. Trinity barely puts up a fight against the weird traitor with a puny scalpel (that somehow killed the other lady while he was unguarded) like a scared horror movie lead, while Morpheus barely says a word while everyone around him calls the shots and bosses everyone around. He barely even gets to fight outside of the dance club scene. Agent Smith possession reveal is kind of cool but also kind of dumb. Neo had a little more to do, but he's gone for a good 20 minutes during the Zion battle and he looks really goofy when he starts wearing a blindfold for nearly the entire second half of the movie during supposedly serious moments (including when Trinity gets unceremoniously fridged in a scene that just drags on). As for positives, the Sentinel fight scenes were fun and the final resolution is decent. The climax was decent, but kind of a letter down compared to the first two films. The movie also gets let down by corny dialogue, awkward titled performances, bad CGI background for the final city battle, too many characters that I don't care about, super obvious Jesus symbolism, lack of action SO MUCH exposition. It's not awful, but it could've been a hell of a lot better as the conclusion for the otherwise epic trilogy. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/25 Full Review Lionel H I don't know why everyone hates this movie so much but it's a definite must watch great acting and a really fun plot so don't listen to all the bad reviews just watch it and you will not regret Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Ege S I mean its alright but definitely they could have made better finale movie if they had not rushed to release this movie after 6 months. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Rami A 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
