It was underwhelming at best. It's not that it wasn't good, but I couldn't help but hope that the third movie would answer the questions from the second one in a way that was as mind-blowing as the first. Looking back on it now, I don't really see how I could possibly have been satisifed with the third film, no matter what happened in it. The first movie seemed self-contained and complete in a way that neither of its sequels are.

in other words, it worked as a pretty entertaining sci/fi flick, and as something of a modern-day christ allegory. it didn't come through as a piece of philosophy the way that the "talking heads" in the second movie seemed to indicate that it would.
