I got to see The Matrix: Revolutions last night. I was both in awe and a little disappointed. I was mainly disappointed because it lacked a lot of the gravity defying matrix located fight scenes like the previous two movies, but was in awe at its special effects and philosophical insights.
I will give no spoilers here, but if you aren't planning on attending the movie, and email me, I will give up the goods.
I really appreciate the real life characters in Zion. They go beyond gender and race stereotypes and show a world truly color and sex-blind, something I hope can exist. You see, it isn't about saying "I'm Black, and I'm proud and different", its saying "We are all humans, we we are all the same".
I have to say Jada Pinkett Smith is one sexy woman. In this movie she is strong, yet feminine, and has a commanding sensual presence which is lacking in movies with women in the role of action hero.
I enjoyed the movie, and its effects. One strange part though, and I thought it was very powerful.
When Neo and Trinity are flying to the machine city, and fly high to escape the sentinels they fly above the clouds into bright sunshine. We see the hovercraft in the full brillliance of the Sun, and Trinity and Neo, for the first time, see the Sun with their real eyes.
I enjoyed the move for different reasons than the previous two. I am happy and sad with the outcome of the move, for reasons which may be known to those of you who have seen it.
