Between blockbusters and big budgets sometimes comes along something so pure, so honest, so raw, that it just talks to your soul. This is one of those films. A simple story of a boy, trapped in a dying body, who refused to let that define or break him. We all have a place in this world, and he found his. And that's the beauty of this film. It's not about him, really; it's about us, as people, and how each one of us matters. And that we impact others. Sometimes we know it, often we don't, but in the end, we are all connected to someone in a far greater capacity than we realize. Choose who you are, for your legacy will carry on far longer than your body will.

Like most things, this will depend on your expectations. If the first Matrix blew your mind and created a life altering experience that you expect to be repeated, save your time and money. That said, I found this to be excellent. I thought they did a fantastic job weaving a story that was primarily about Neo and Trinity into a world that we all are familiar with; that being the Matrix. They managed to preserve a level of self-deprecating humor without making light of the world we were visiting, which is not an easy task. The action, choreography and acting all work here, as is expected. It felt a bit like a closing chapter, and if that turns out to be the case, the close works.
