2 hrs. 09 min. In the third installment, the epic war between man and machine reaches a thundering crescendo: the Zion military, aided by courageous civilian volunteers like Zee and the Kid, desperately battles to hold back the Sentinel invasion as the Machine army bores into their stronghold. Facing total annihilation, the citizens of the last bastion of humanity fight not only for their own lives, but for the future of mankind itself. But an unknown element poisons the ranks from within: the rogue program Smith has cunningly hijacked Bane, a member of the hovercraft fleet. Growing more powerful with each passing second, Smith is beyond even the control of the Machines and now threatens to destroy their empire along with the real world and the Matrix. The Oracle offers Neo her final words of guidance, which he accepts with the knowledge that she is a program and her words could be just another layer of falsehood in the grand scheme of the Matrix. With the aid of Niobe, Neo and Trinity choose to travel farther than any human has ever dared to go - a treacherous journey above ground, across the scorched surface of the earth and into the heart of the menacing Machine City. In this vast mechanized metropolis, Neo comes face to face with the ultimate power in the Machine world--the Deus Ex Machina--and strikes a bargain that is the only hope for a dying world. The war will end tonight, with Neo's destiny and the fate of two civilizations inexorably tied to the outcome of his cataclysmic confrontation with Smith.

For all of those who saw Revolutions and didn’t like it, I have a few questions for you. What didn’t you like about Revolutions? Was the ending not finite enough for you? Was there too much action? Did you care about Zion or did you just have no interest in the fight for Zion? Those are a few questions for you guys, because I don’t understand why people didn’t like it. I thought it was a fun movie, and I enjoyed watching it.

I thought the fighting for Zion scenes were awesome. I don’t even know what to say about them, I enjoyed them so much. Just the guns going off, the various people fighting so they can see their loved ones again. It was some amazing eye candy.

The individual fight scenes were also very cool. The final fight scene was the best. The rain made the scene so visually captivating. Punching through the rain, flying, crashing through buildings, it’s all so amazing. I couldn’t get enough of it.

I thought the ending was perfect. No, I’m not going to give it away for those of you who haven’t seen it yet. For me, the ending was perfect. I had heard so many rumors of how it was going to end, that I wasn’t sure what to expect. Many people are probably disappointed at how it ended, but I thought it was a great way to end a great trilogy.

If you saw the other two films, you have an obligation to see this one. Even if you were turned off by the second one, you have to see how the trilogy ends. So either see it in the theater, or rent it when it comes out, or when it appears on TV. Someday you have to give this puppy a chance. So open your mind when you see it, and you may be surprised with what you see.
