*SPOILERS*

This movie is absolutely amazing. I have to say that it wasn't as good as Reloaded (easily the best of the trilogy) but it was on-par with the first one. If you liked Reloaded (understood it and was willing to accept a change in the series) then you'll LOVE Revolutions. If you hated Reloaded, you'll hate Revolutions. It's as simple as that.

The ending was the best possible ending for the trilogy. New Matrix, but this time it's different -- if you want out, then you come out without the machines killing you. In other words, you can be freed without restriction. Of course Neo dies...what's the whole trilogy been setting up? Neo had to die else the Christ imagery from the first two wouldn't fit in right.

The battle for Zion scene was incredible. I've never seen CG that good, not even in Reloaded. As Ebert said, directors have finally breached the wall of "that looks good, but it still looks fake." The Hammer flying through the tunnels with Niobe piloting was amazing as well. Damn, damn damn.

The only gripe I have about the movie is the Neo vs Smith fight...it wasn't as good as I hoped it to be. But ya know, after seeing such a perfect ending to the trilogy, I can't complain too much. Everything that I wanted to happen happened. I think the acting in this one might have been the best out of the trilogy as well. It was great when Morpheus said "No, the honor is still mine" when Neo and Trinity were leaving to go to the machine city.

Now that the trilogy is over, I'm proud to say that it's my favorite sci-fi trilogy ever, even moreso than the first Star Wars movies. This is cinematic film-making at its best...and the only people that can disagree are just looking for reasons to say this movie sucks.

It seems that the new fad in Hollywood is to diss the Matrix movies as much as possible. Go ahead, say they suck, but the true fans who had hope and were willing to accept a change in the series will always be proud of what the Wachowski Brothers have accomplished. I honestly don't think I'll see anything as mindbreaking and revolutionary as this trilogy.
