The final chapter in the epic cyber war that has ravaged mankind, as Neo takes on the machines and the enigmatic Agent Smith.
Following on from the previous film, the human rebel camp at Zion face machines drilling down into their core for a final battle. As the population prepares for an all-out machine beating, Neo and his crew seek to perform the impossible, destroy the machines from the inside, and end the cycle once and for all.
In a continuing slide, the Wachowski brothers offer up more of the same, but with an overly complicated storyline that seems to be confusing itself. The film seems a mesh of sci-fi traditions, with some Star Trek similarities, as well as action techniques that border on Lord of the Rings. It was always going to be difficult providing a suitable ending for such a hit classic, but this seems well off the mark.
Reeves is still excellent as the stony Neo, and his crew do well to inject some passion into the cringe worthy script, but for the most part, viewers should set their minds to blur, because there is no point trying to follow the story...it is just not worth it.
