Matrix Revolutions had quite a dud ending despite the adrenaline-filled in-your-face and blown-to-bits attack of zion scene. The whole philosophy and premise of the matrix could only sustain the interest for so long before you think, "fuck it, what the heck did that mean???". I read countless and countless of debates, discussions about what each little piece of "data" within the movie meant and boy, do these people have time to analyze EVERYTHING. Till it reach a point where everything is freaking symbolic and like, "excellent man" (think keanu in bill&ted's amazing adventure).

Probably if i stopped to think about it (which i did, but it was too convoluted for words), it will all come to me naturally. Hell, i would even admit that the first movie got me expounding zen and life as i knew what they meant to people around me. But Revolutions just didn't quite cut it for me. The whole messiah ending with neo going back to the source (Oo.. spoiler? NOT) in all blaze and hallelujah glory just did it in for me. Not to mentioned the fact that i was getting a bit pissed off (like the rest of the audience) by the horrendous soundtrack (squeaks, squeals and screeches) where bits of conversations get replaced by elevator music. It was amazing i sat through the whole thing.

Perhaps its the bad cinema experience that marred my enjoyment of the movie. Why not? But damn if i would spend another dollar to watch it again. Maybe when i've simmered down, i would BORROW a vcd and work it all out again.

Hmm. Pardon my french.
