Ok, so the first time I saw Revolutions I left completely confused in the "that didn't resolve a darn thing" kind of way.... but then I thought about it a little more, watched the movie a second time, and I think I have a theory that, at least in my mind, resolves everything, and puts a nice little frame on the three movies... So let me know what you think about my little theory.

Agent Smith and Neo were both created by the Oracle as a means of initiating a truce between the humans and the machines.

Sounds like a lot, so lets start at the beginning. First of all, a small line, that many probably caught out of its sheer weirdness is when Agent Smith called the Oracle "mom". As we'd seen in the beginning of the movie, it is possible for programs to create other programs, and this in an of itself is enough for me to think that quite possibly Smith was created by the Oracle. Smith is, in my mind, most easily characterized as a virus. And there's something unique about Smith, even before the scene in the hallway in the first movie. Of all the Agents, he's the only one that expresses a desire to get out of the Matrix. There's something different about him, right from the beginning.

About Neo... I think, given the end of the movie, Neo could be most easily characterized as a "virus fix," so to speak. Now, it seems unlikely that the Oracle would be talking about "The One," directing the humans towards finding "The One" if she didn't know that a virus fix was out there, and exactly where to find it. And, given that the Oracle created Smith, it also seems most unlikely that the Oracle would create a virus without creating a "virus fix." So that's why I think that the Oracle not only knew Neo would stop Smith, but had deliberately created Neo for that purpose.

First of all, addressing the who flabbergasted "What?!?! Neo a program?!!? Can't be!!!" cries: to begin with, Agent Smith proved that a program can inhabit a human brain (ex. Bane). Secondly, the Oracle says that the powers of "The One" extend all the way to where it came from, which is "the source" which I believe to be further proof of his possible "programic roots" so to speak.

Why did she do it? To facilitate a truce between the humans and the machines. At the beginning of the trilogy, the power balance is highly in favor of the machines. To ever end the war, there needed to be a shift in power, ever so slight that would give the humans a right to demand a truce. That is why the Oracle created a problem (Smith, the virus) and offered the solution (Neo, the fix). But she put the fix-it program in a human, which gave the humans an advantage over the machines (imbalance of equation) and gave them the opportunity to demand a truce

My last and final evidence for my theory. In the very end scene, the Oracle and the Architect meet up. The Architect's line: "You play a very dangerous game." This shows that a) The Oracle was indeed a key player in the turn of events, not just a watcher, b) The Architect and the Oracle were on opposing sides of this whole game (further delineated by the later discussion of terms for the release of the humans who wanted out of the Matrix).

That's my story and I'm sticking to it... What do you think?

Neo remains trapped in Limbo, whilst Agent Smith aims to take control of The Matrix.

I have definitely come to enjoy Revolutions, when I first saw it, I didn't get it, and when I saw it in the cinema, I felt totally frustrated by it. However after a couple of viewings, I've really come to enjoy it, after all these years, it finally makes sense.

Action packed sequences galore, there are no quiet or dull moments, it is relentless, the sequences look fantastic, the film's Cinematography is one of its main strengths. In addition to the non stop action and fight sequences, there are some incredibly moving moments, the ending in particular.

Credit to the makeup team also, they did a first rate job, some of the injuries look pretty realistic.

It's quite a cohesive storyline, I found this one quite straightforward to follow, more so than its predecessor.

The original remains my favourite, but I honestly think this is a worthy third entry, I personally prefer it to Reloaded, maybe one day I'll gain an appreciation for that one day too.

The acting was very good, as always Reeves is spot on, I just loved Hugo Weaving and Laurence Fishburn once again.

8/10.

This was a wonderful way, to end one of the best trilogies of all time in my opinion!, it's one of the most underrated sequels out there. All the characters are awesome once again, and the story is simply fascinating, plus Keanu Reeves and Hugo Weaving are simply amazing in this!. The ending is quite confusing and leaves you thinking, and i know a lot of Matrix fans were not pleased with this final installment of the series, however i absolutely loved it, as i found it extremely exciting, with incredible visuals, amazing special effects and characters that you root for!, plus the fight scenes are absolutely incredible!. I wish Carrie-Anne Moss had more to do, same goes for Laurence Fishbrune however, Keanu and others carried the film really well, and, the gun and machine battles were fantastic!, plus the opening train sequence was simply fascinating!. While not quite as good as the Matrix it's definitely as good as Reloaded, as this was a wonderful way to end one of the best trilogies of all time in my opinion!, it's one of the most underrated sequels out there!, and i say Go see it now. The Direction is incredible!. The Wachowski brothers do an incredible job here, with stunning camera work, mind blowing angles, incredible visuals, great slow mo shots and keeping the film at an incredibly fast pace!. There is a bit of blood and violence. We get bloody gunshot wounds,bloody impaling's,gouged out eyes,guy's face is cut to pieces,bloody stabbings, harsh beatings and more!. The Acting is excellent!. Keanu Reevs is AMAZING as always, and is amazing here, he gives his best performance in the series (in my opinion), is focused, had great chemistry with Carrie once again, looked damn cool, and was really into his role, he was amazing! (Keanu Rules!!!!!!). Carrie-Anne Moss is beautiful and did what she had to do well, and had good chemistry with Reeves once again, however her role was pretty thankless here, she still rocked though (Carrie rules!). Laurence Fishburne is not his usual fantastic self because he has nothing to do, but stand there and do nothing, and spurt out dialog, not much of a part, really thankless role. Hugo Weaving is AMAZING here as Agent Smith, he is at his most intense here as Smith, and was extremely menacing and lovable! (Weaving rules). Mary Alice does a great job replacing Gloria Foster as the Oracle i liked her lots. Jada Pinkett Smith is way hot, and does excellent with what she had to do once again, and had good chemistry with Fishburne. Harold Perrineau Jr. is great as Link once again i liked him lots. Nona Gaye is good as Link's lover, and did what she had to do well. Monica Bellucci(Persephone),Helmut Bakaitis(architect),Harry J. Lennix(Lock),Clayton Watson(kid),Lambert Wilson(Merovingian), and all the rest do fine. Overall Go see it now!. ***** out of 5
