Disappointment

I guess everyone knows by now that Matrix Revolutions is really quite a damp squib. There's too much of action with sentinels, mini-cannons and shells, almost like a war movie. There are hardly any fresh and profound philosophical insights. And all the shelling and machine-with-tentacles sidelined Neo (Keanu Reeves). The last fight between Smith and Neo are quite insipid except for a few frames. Nothing like the action sequences in the previous two movies. :-(

But if you're a Matrix fan, you'd watch it anyway, so go ahead. But don't expect much.

PS- On the positive side, I watched it on the IMAX screen, so the movie experience was not all that bad! :-)
