Wow....is the Matrix funny or WHAT. Almost as funny as LXG . Horrible script, predictable lines, making Keanu Reeves Jebus...all horrible crimes. While we do get one spectacular burst of bullet time (quickly upstaged by the hilarious deformation of Agent Smith's face), most of the action is so complex [read: messy] that one just can't take it all in, not that would actually want to. But still, the first Matrix made people think because it took an existing system and stretched it. You can dodge bullets. Great. That's not SO far-fetched. You fly around in mid-air and fight your enemy, all the while generating mini-nuclear blasts everytime you guys headbutt each other? No. That's just too far out there. And if you're going to go that far, fine, have some anti-matter explosions, but don't try to link it to "teh r34l w0rLd". With 80 hojillion sentinels flying about attacking 10 hojillion earth troops, the entire battle just looks like something any video game would do as an introduction. It's spectacular CG in some ways and lots of visual complexity but it's all done without purpose or motivation.

Oh GOD and the emotional moments, cutting in like the smell of a bathroom that's been left uncleaned for 8 weeks, is further dragged down by a predictably horrible script (so that's horrible AND predictable folks), and in the end, becomes farcical.

*we see Neo, blind, and Trinity, lying down on the floor, impaled by not 1 or 2 but 5+ poles*
Neo: "Trinity...are you OK?..."
Trinity: "Neo, I'm going to change the subject and generalize and express my love for you, therefore letting you know, very BLATANTLY that yes, I am dying, since we just crashed into a freaking mechanical pole going 200MPH all because you said 'we'll make it' but then couldn't hold off the 800 hojillion machine bombs that were coming at us."
Neo: "What's wrong?"
*feels around...gets to the 5 poles that's impaling Trinity to the floor of their ship"
Neo: "Oh...my bad."
Trinity: "Damn you oracle...why couldn't you have picked somebody else for me to fall in love with..."

Of course there are plot holes a plenty, though ironically, since there's really no plot in this movie, the holes exist as an unfulfillment of mysteries left by the previous movies of the series. The machines and humans are fighting why? There's a reason, supposedly. Now, as soon as Neo terminates Smith, the machines let up and don't hunt the humans anymore. Is there a reason? What exactly is the point of the movie really?

But aside from all that, it's a pretty darn hilarious movie. The Helix Loaded may prove to be more hilarious but for now, Matrix Revolutions is as good a parody of the The Matrix as anything.

Sleep time. Then more work.
