    An amazing vision.
   I'm sure many of the fans out there who came
out on opening day appreciated it, as I have. But 
the duds expecting a rehash of the burly brawl 
with 10,000 Agent Smiths were out of luck.
   Instead, we got Zion versus 100,000 sentinels.
And that was pretty cool.
   I really enjoyed "The Matrix" series because in
every film the Wachowskis showed us something 
new.
   It's not easy to defy expectations, especially with
something like this. But the filmmakers have 
created some striking images which make us think,
jump and drop back in awe. 
   Watching sentinels stream through the walls 
of Zion to punch holes through humans with
mechanical tentacles was a thrill.
   I wondered if the effects in "Spider-Man 2" are
going to be this good. Hard to say. But I was sure
we aren't going to see "Dr. Octopus" do this 
much damage.
   The final aerial battle between "Super Neo"
and a flying "Agent Smith" was something to 
behold. The rain-filled shockwaves were 
awesome. And I loved when one of them blew 
out dozens of skyscraper windows. 
   I've never seen a flying superhero film like this
before. It was everything I wanted to see in 
"Superman II (1980)," but couldn't, because
technology then wasn't what it is today. Besides, 
I'm not sure some writers of superhero films even 
today have the guts to make something this bold, 
angry and unique.
   In my reviews of "The Matrix" films, I haven't
tried to pick apart their plots, their philosophies or
their intended, or unintended, meanings. It would 
take a book to do any kind of justice to that.
   In short, I'll say I think these films hold a little
something for everyone. It's great fun to discuss
with people. And it's neat when everyone draws
their own conclusions.
   I'm probably going to go see "Revolutions" a few
more times, and probably once or twice at the 
IMAX. It's not every day that a landmark science 
fiction film, the kind that ends up in the history 
books, comes around to a theater near you.
