a simple thing has gotten lost in these sequels: they're not much fun :
We headed back to the IMAX on Saturday to catch the rest of The Matrix : Revolutions. The last time we tried watching it (Nov 6 post) - it ended up in a disaster with the projector failing thirty minutes before the movie's end. This time around, we got slightly better seats, but we found out we'd already seen the best parts of the movie!
The ending is weak, and most of the zing in the movie comes from the special effects and the scenes from Zion's heroic last stand against a swarming army of squid-like Sentinels. The title of the post (stolen from a Newsweek review) summed up our mood at the end.
What I liked about the first movie was how easily they conveyed the concept of the Matrix. The special effects were cool, but its that idea that made the movie way cool. The sequels mostly bring only the special effects.
Like Newsweek says, the Wachowski brothers are mortal :).
