Review of The Matrix Revolutions (2003) by Seerossrun — 18 Jul 2016

This whole trilogy was/is too smart for the room. The reason many modern audiences don't get the richness of this movie is a basic lack in understanding of philosophy and multiple theologies. The matrix, in and of its self, is a modern telling of "The Cave" by Socrates, or Plato (if you're in the camp that believes Socrates was a literary creation of Plato).

The rest is a mixture of multiple religious ideologies both eastern and western. It's not that the story was convoluted or unexplainable, it's that the wachowski's forgot the audience they were making this for.

A generation woefully ignorant of basic philosophical teachings, on the whole; and religiously ignorant (as most cling to one religion without ever studying the others). Which is why many got the Christ symbolism but miss the other religious ideologies discussed throughout the trilogy.

So I give it a 9 because as authors, they forgot their audience and lost them. They should have used "standardized" ideologies since our society is socialized to be that way. Thank you modern education.
