Review

The war between humans and robots is going on. Robots are coming to Zion to destroy humans and there are lots of battles there. At the same time Neo is trying to go to the Source to end the war. He have to meet Agent Smith and fight against him before he will destroy everything since Smith have found how to escape from Matrix.

I had seen this previously some years ago, but I didn't had much memories about this either. There is quite much fighting and action so it mght be the reason that I do not had much memories of this since that kind of scenes quite easily are easy to forget and I am quite sure that I do not remember much of those scenes tomorrow either. Still those fighting scenes were visually nice looking scenes and it was not boring to watch.

There are lots of themes of christianity in this movie as we have seen in previous Matrix movies as well what I find interesting. Of course fight against good and bad is not a thing what is only seen in christianity and that is universal theme all around the world, but the way how this movie uses the Bibilica words and theme of the saviour who will free people is easy to see similarities in theme with Jesus.

This movie had nice visual effects as well as sounds and music.

My biggest complain in this movie is some characters who did not made much sense in bigger theme. Who is the train man and what is his purpose? And what about the Melv? How they and the keymaker from previous movie fit in the whole picture? I did not get clear understanding of them, neither the kid in the train and her parents. Somehow those characters felt like a filler characters who should feel to have bigger meaning but in the end their bigger meaning feels meaningless to me at least.

All in all, this movie was better than the previous one, but still not as good as the first one. Like the previous one, this had too much focus on too many persons that the meaning of the Neo somehow diminished and he started to feel less important than he felt in the first Matrix. Of course hs is the protagonist but since there was that much scenes where he was not at all his meaning and importance started to fade.

Also the meaning of Trinity and love story with Trinity and Neo was quite lame in the end. Scene when Trinity was going to die what should probably feel emotional was not very emotional at all. There was not enough character building for her, Neo and their relationship so it felt nothing when she died even it tried to make it feel something.

There were lots of good things in this movie of course and in the end I liked this, but still it is far from the first Matrix.
