The Matrix Revolutions (don't look if you havent seen it)
  • Posted On: Nov 9 2003 11:38am
Right as you all know on the 5th of November, The Matrix Revolutions came out in cinemas all over the world.They sold more tickets than they expected and earnt more money (of course) while selling them.But people across the world had postive and negative and neutral views about the movie.

So come in and tell us your views about the movie.

My view was that, it wasn't that extreme, rather boring in the battle for Zion.The machines were good while attacking Zion but the main down point of that particular part was...the humans were crap, the built all of that army and it get's destroyed easy.

One of the funniest parts was when Neo was outside of the Matrix and runs into the black hole on the train track and comes back round the otherside and says "@#%$" that is funny.

I have to say this now, Morpheus,Trinity,Neo did not play a main part to this movie it was more evolved around Niobe and the captain who wouldn't let Neo take his ship.Agent Smith didn't play a big part either apart from the pointless fight at the end, i mean if you have seen "Pokemon" when Mew fights Mewtwo they do exactly that instead they don't fire energy balls they punch. Pointless absolutley pointless.

Neo isn't dead, he's still alive because when you look from his view he can still see the orange and his face also twitches.Also what the Oracle said as well, so for me i reckon they will bring out another Matrix in the next 2 years probably.

That's my view on the Matrix Revolutions, if i could give it a score out of 10 i would give it a 5.

Also the questions made in 1 and 2 weren't answered in Revolutions...bad point.

Lorenzo, you remind me of someone who was banned from this board...

I have yet to see this or any of the previous prequels of the Matrix, but I have heard opinions from others. Some have told me that they like the previous movies better than Revolutions.

I'm sure you "terminated that down"... but the thread is still there:

Revolutions was a @#%$-up.

It was an entertaining film, of course, with fantastic fight scenes and a quick-moving plot. However, at it's core, the movie was not a resolution; only a finale.

Throughout parts one and two the brothers Wachowski posed a number of very ambitious questions about the nature of humanity, choice, purpose, and destiny. So many questions were built up that one expected Revolutions to be a catharsis, purging those questions from our minds.

It wasn't.

They're left primarily unanswered, or answered in an unsatisfactory fashion. The question of opposing dynamics created by Neo's ideology and Smith's ideology -- choice versus purpose, freedom versus predetermination -- is barely addressed. The ending seems to imply that, in fact, Smith was correct; purpose is the only governor of reality and choice is an illusion. That's a shitty answer and it invalidates the entire series.

In the end, the questions we have about the nature of what makes the Matrix tick and the dynamics between the machines and men are left hanging. This is possibly to make room for a sequel, but to be perfectly honest, I don't have the patience for another movie.

Spoiler (highlight to read):
<font color=#1F73B9>I admire the Wachowskis for defying traditional design and killing off the two main characters, but the way in which they died -- and the fact that no one at all learned what became of them -- made their deaths seem shitty and meaningless. I understand that this was another reference to "purpose", but, as I said, that's not really a satisfactory answer to the theological questions at work, here.</font>

Highly, highly disappointing.

See, there really can't be answers to any of those questions. Who's to say what reality is, if life is really predetermined, if we all have a destiny, if there is really a choice....

We will never know.

As you said "purpose is the only governor of reality and choice is an illusion." was the answer they gave. You obviously disagree with this idea, and that is where the problem comes in. The answer is not what we should focus on or concern ourselves with. I myself, only appreciated what questions that Matrix made apparent because there is no true answer. The Wachowski's chose this answer because that is what they believed.

I know that is just a bunch of mindless talk coming form my mouth, but I hope what I meant made some sense.
