3/10
More about the money than the story

I get it. It's been 18 years and we're not sure if Trinity died and whether Neo's sacrifice saved humans from future wars. There had to be a storyline about getting back to that past in order to save the present, but this installment was lackluster, empty, boring, and could not improve upon the witty dialogue nor the action and fighting choreography of the past Matrix films. There was this incessant need to replay clips from the past - this made the cheese factor skyrocket to 10. The fighting scenes were pedestrian at best, the Architect 2.0 with Neil Patrick Harris is super annoying with elementary dialogue, Agent Smith not really Agent Smith, and where is the bad-ass plugged-in Matrix ensemble - this ensemble was weak? Trinity can fly? That was some quick non-existent programming she had undergone towards the end. This movie was better left on the shelf to preserve the integrity of the franchise, not present itself for some quick holiday bucks. It was frustrating to watch.
