I haven’t seen Matrix: Revolutions yet, but it’s getting slammed by critics and worse, regular movie goers. So far the only positive things I’ve read are that it is better than Reloaded and that the assault on Zion is amazing. Lileks saw it, and among other things, wrote:
I took away something else from the Matrix trilogy: it is a product of deeply confused people. They want it all. They want individualism and community; they want secularism and transcendence; they want the purity of committed love and the licentious fun of an S&M club; they want peace and the thrill of violence; they want God, but they want to design him on their own screens with their own programs by their own terms for their own needs, and having defined the divine on their own terms, they bristle when anyone suggests they have simply built a room with a mirror and flattering lighting. All three Matrix movies, seen in total, ache for a God. But they can?t quite go all the way. They?re like three movies about circular flat meat patties that can never quite bring themselves to say the word ?hamburger.?
You really should read all of it. And every day too. I am warming up to this.
