If you thought the Matrix "Reloaded" and "Revolutions" were from not as good to bad, think again! This was soooo bad that I fell asleep for a while (had to go back and forced myself to watch what I missed). It starts with a possibly intriguing "theme" and story line (you want to wait and wish for an amazing development) but it never lift off and even goes under. No really! Not only there are no surprises, the scenes, moves and special effects are all rehash of what you have already seen but it goes far beyond to get your bored to death: it is loaded of non-sensical characters appearing for no purpose (a recast of Morpheus and the same old / same old battle scene, the white rabbit he needs to follow ... why?? The oracle, the architect), it goes way down with abismal performance and dialogs that are flat, emotionless and feel forced. On top of that, you add the "Neo! He is back" like moments (with the usual jitter on the chair while plugged to the Matrix) and you have the perfect receipe for "booooorrring!". Even the end (recovering Trinity) is anti-climatic and not providing any surprises. There is nothing good about this addition and by the end, you would wish it would not have been made at all as it surely kills the aura associated to the first Matrix movie (that was admittedly, quite heart-pumping and mind-bending and a genre-starter). We expected so much more after so many years and all fans I am sure will feel a deep sense betrayal.
This addition will not even end in the "so bad that it is 'good' and becomes a cult movie" category. This should have been called "Matrix unsalvageable", period!
