Matrix Revolutions

I saw another movie over the weekend too - Matrix Revolutions is a move that I borrowed from Andy because I masochistically wanted to see but not pay for the previledge. However I wasn't quite as enthusiastic as I thought I was, so the movie sat on my shelf for at least couple of months before I plugged up the courage to actually watch it.

And what complete shite it was too. I really liked the original film when it first came out, but I have to admit that the rest of the trilogy has spoiled all the affection I had towards the first movie. I didn't have too much against the second movie - the content was pretty awful but at least it was very cool... and the last one isn't even that. It's trying to be clever and original and mysterious, and just ends up being repugnant... and I fast forwarded the end scene as I just wasn't doing anything for me.

It's a shame. I quite like to consepts behind the Matrix universe, and humans against machines is an age old sci-fi scenario that can be made to work, too. Just a huge shame they ruined the original magic with these sequels.
