Review: Shot at the same time as Reloaded and released six months afterwards, Revolutions is in direct continuation with the second movie that ended on a cliffhanger. It was another deception for the fans who had elaborated the most intricate theories about the real truth behind the Matrix (a second layer of Matrix? Neo created A.I. himself?...), while it turned out to be a rather straight-forward (some would say predictable) ending. I felt something similar but was not that disappointed, but it is true that apart from bringing a conclusion to the trilogy, the only interest in Revolutions is the one massive action scene: the end battle in Zion's dock between humans (driving the amazing mechas called APUs) and thousands of sentinel robots (squids), which is visually quite impressive. I had forgotten there was no much Romance in those movies: Neo & Trinity but also Link, Morpheus, Persephone... I think it is now time that I watch again the last video element in the Matrix Universe: the compilation of animated shorts entitled The Animatrix. Some segments have happened to haunt my nights, in particular the dyptic The Second Renaissance Part I and II.
