 THE
MATRIX
REVOLUTIONS
With
Keanu
Reeves,
Laurence
Fishburn,
Carrie-Anne
Moss,
Hugo
Weaving,
Jada
Pinkett-Smith
Directed
by
The
Wachowski
Brothers
The
incredible
visionary
journey
that
started
in
the
mid-'90s
and
crossed
over
the
millennium
has
reached
its
final,
spectacular
destiny.
While
Andy
and
Larry
Wachowski
admittedly
adopted
Japanese
anime
and
Manga
style
action,
characters
and
situations,
they
were
the
ones
to
perfect
its
seemingly
impossible
transfer
to
live
action
(with
the
help
of
an
incredibly
competent
crew,
Eastern
stunt
coordinators
and
FX
teams).
Revolutionizing
film-making
may
not
have
been
their
ultimate
goal,
but
they
surely
did
that
together
with
creating
a
multi-layered
trilogy
which
integrated
its
narrative
and
philosophy
to
other
directly
related
media
(like
the
PS2
game
Enter
The
Matrix
and
intense
anime
collection
The
Animatrix
-
all
story
lines
directly
relating
to
the
trilogy,
supplementing
its
already
in-depth
philosophical
tale
of
man-machine
integration
and
rivalry).
In
this
concluding
chapter
Neo's
powers
are
reaching
its
peak
(as
is
the
case
with
the
relentless
Agent
Smith).
The
machines
are
about
to
reach
the
human
city
of
Zion
where
an
intense
and
brutal
battle
is
to
ensue.
Digital
or
not,
the
robotic
man-driven
machines
fighting
the
horde
of
sentinels
is
quite
spectacular.
With
the
insane
Agent
Smith
and
his
duplicated
army
posing
a
threat
to
the
survival
of
both
the
remaining
humans
and
the
machines
alike,
Neo
has
to
undertake
a
dangerous
journey
to
fulfill
his
destiny
as
The
One,
even
if
The
Architect
told
him
otherwise.
While
FX-laden,
as
an
individual
film
Revolutions
does
not
tower
above
its
two
predecessors,
but
keep
in
mind
that
it
is
the
denouement
of
a
trilogy
and
should
be
seen
as
a
whole.
As
to
be
expected
with
the
DVD
you
get
an
extra
disc
with
spectacular
making-of
documentaries
as
well
as
a
look
at
the
new
online
game
&
more.
Probably
because
of
the
quantities
printed,
finally
there's
a
double
disc
sold
in
South
Africa
at
under
R200.
Together
with
The
Lord
Of
The
Rings,
this
is
one
of
the
great
trilogies
of
our
time
which
will
take
a
lot
to
be
topped
-
let's
just
hope
they
don't
stuff
it
up
with
a
lame-ass
TV
series…god
forbid.
