Epic in scale with a major thumbs up for the visual effects. But in the final analysis - eye candy cannot overcome the awful plot and characters. The original Matrix film was kick butt comic book stuff that the Wachowski Bros nailed cold and amazingly pegged the paradox of our anxiety about technology versus our desire to control it and enhance ourselves.This film and RELOADED both offered plenty of "Matrix" continuity for the scifi squirrels - but REVOLUTIONS; more than its predecessors, quickly sours dramatically and becomes boring, looking like a bad music video by the end with 'Battlestar Galatica' type plot elements. Combine that with the philosophical, allegorical pretensions and it simply implodes into an embarrassing mess. Completionists will buy the movie for their collections but others should steer clear.
