The human city of Zion defends itself against the massive invasion of the machines as Neo fights to end the war at another front while also opposing the rogue Agent Smith.
Where I loved the first Matrix for its great mix of special effects and philosophical story, and the second Matrix just for being a very entertaining action movie, I couldn't see any of it in this third of the trilogy.
Mostly this movie is about Agent Smith fighting and robots shooting at robots. Neo himself is lost for most of the time, other characters are either shooting their way back home, or shooting to defend their home. Not much philosophy there. Lots of action though, but not entertaining at all. Main characters were turned into side-characters, so I had nobody to care about. It was clear how the story would end, so no real reason to watch, except for the pretty special effects.
The part of this movie that impressed me most was the very booming voice of the machine mind at the end, which says enough about the rest of the movie.. I was actually bored and on the verge of turning it off. Wouldn't have missed much if I did.
I think if they did do another Matrix it would have to be as a reboot. A complete new cast and take it into a new direction but within the Matrix timeline.
