Review of The Matrix Revisited (2001) by Lloyd C — 06 Apr 2010

Here we have the 6th disc in this 10 disc collection. The Matrix Revolutions was one of the most anticipated trilogy endings in many years. Many wanted to see the final showdown between Neo and Smith. Others wanted to see if The Wachowski Bros. could write themselves out of the corner that they had written themselves into in the second film, The Matrix Reloaded. When the dust finally settled, the reviews were mixed, but mostly they fell against the directing brothers. The final film was thought to lack direction and convolute rather than resolve the loose ends of the story. Perhaps they had an idea in their head(s) that was fine in thought but impossible to carry out in the real world. All that said, you have to at least give them credit for trying.

Whatever your opinion of this film, one must recognize the mammoth task that was creating it. The sheer man-hours and creative expertise that went into the creation of this and The Matrix Reloaded that was shot at the same time was a huge job; on a par with that done by Peter Jackson on the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The technology that went into the making of this film didn't exist just a few years ago, and several advancements in digital character creation were created by the teams making this film. This extras disc is as much a tribute to those creative souls that designed this movie as it is to the actors who brought the characters in this film to life. For every Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss and Hugo Weaving there is a Owen Paterson, R.A. Rondell and Steve Courtley. Who are they? This disc is a dedication to them and their vision in making this film.
