In a dystopia overrun by robots, Neo (Keanu Reeves), mankind's greatest hope, is trapped in a limbo world. Meanwhile, the majority of the planet's population remains in a state of suspended virtual reality. The few humans who are cognizant of the grim realities of the world desperately try to hold off their mechanical enemies long enough for Neo to escape and save the day, but things turn disastrous when all-powerful computer program Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) arrives in the flesh.

Critics Consensus

A disappointing conclusion to the Matrix trilogy as characters and ideas take a back seat to the special effects.

The original Matrix was full of dizzying surprises. But it's turned out that the Wachowskis didn't have many more tricks up their sleeves.

The Wachowskis may have something in their theory that the world is simply a complex operating system humans are simply virtual programs.... Their dialogue feels written by a computer program, and for that matter acted by a collection of CGI figures.

2.5/4

Perhaps it’s wrong and narrow-minded to hope that the Wachowskis would only live up to their original film, but their brand of mythology expansion narrows the possibilities and limits the viewer’s enjoyment of this universe.

Just as much as the last entry was a piece of a story, this one is a fragment, telling so little of the yarn that it’s the least complex and most inessential of the series, save for the fact that it finally wraps up character loose ends.

Better than the second one but the first one remains the best.

Surely an upgrade from its predecessor, whose script was all over the place. This time around, the story is more focused and has clear stakes, though it's still not without its pointless subplots, unsubtle exposition and very weak characters rendering the romance pointless and all big character moments indifferent; in fact, even the film stops caring about Neo, and it's for the better as the story and the action are its strong suit. Unfortunately, the resolution is way too convenient and simple.

A very disappointing finale to the Matrix trilogy. The action sequences are more numbing than thrilling, and the main characters disappear for a long period of time, replaced by characters that were just introduced.

The Matrix Revolutions was a film I initially liked to some degree but upon closer reflection there were glaring issues with the plot. While the action was more balanced here compared to Reloaded, Revolutions doesn’t quite manage to stick the landing.

I felt very bad about how this movie ended 😰😔. I expected a happy ending, not so tragic! I also thought that the 4 would follow soon, not that it would take 20 years to make the continuation 🤯. It would have been great to see more of Neo and Trinity over the years! 😍.
