Went and saw Matrix: Revolutions Saturday night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great piece of escapism.
I find myself agreeing with Andrew O’Hehir’s review at Salon.com. The Matrix is a good movie, but not a great movie, and many were hoping for a great movie.
Oh well. I gave up expecting much from sequels after George Lucas decided that Jar Jar Binks could be a General in the battle for Naboo.
Even so, Matrix: Revolutions is cool. Neo gets a social conscience—completing the transformation from lone hacker to saviour. Characters that were very important fade into the background and new ones come to the fore. You get the feeling that this is a big world.
I liked the ending too. It didn’t try to do too much, just completed the story without trying to tie up every loose end.
I look forward to more stories from the world of the Matrix. Maybe Animatrix 2?
