MATRIX III: REVOLUTIONS by the Wachowsky brothers.
Lots of special effects, as you would expect. Less fights than in MATRIX II: RELOADED, but this time they make all sense; however, those who actually liked RELOADED may miss them. Epic spectacular battles that many will love (I did), and more (and more active) secondary characters with some sub-plots ,which is a novelty in the series, until now always devoted to relate Neo's adventures.
The plot is not too complicated: the Machines are going to destroy Zion. While a desperate defense is made Neo will try to save the day... And free mankind for ever. As every true Messiah, he will find his apotheosis, not without sacrifice. But you knew all that.
The ending is still quite open, with many loose ends. No doubt that we will see more products related to MATRIX in the future. Many will be disappointed by the unconvincing finale. Anyway, by the time when the movie ends, the watcher has had to forgive at least a couple of script mistakes (the most obvious being “where in the world has gone the entire Zion fleet?”). But, of course, a part of the hardcore fans will forgive all that and more.
Personally I liked this last(?) chapter more than the precedent one, which was little more than an introduction with many fights and little argument, unlike the first movie, where fights where punctual events that were justified by the plot. Anyway, almost all the fans will agree that the first movie was the good one (even with the stupid mistakes when making a raison d'etre for the Matrix: the explanation invented by the Wachowsky brothers is thermodinamically and echologically absurd... But who cares).
