So, our team went to watch the highly anticipated movie as a team building activity on the 2nd day after the movie opened, which actually was surprisingly quiet.

I walked out of the cinema somewhat lost and confused, all I know was I didn't like it as much as the other movies. I couldn't think of reasons what makes me enjoy the third chapter less. Afterall, it is still a good movie w/ great FX, and a decent plot. But it's that anti-climax feeling, and my mind was kinda numb.....

Maybe I was expecting too much from the movie, the style of the movie is quite different from previous one, with some puzzling plots (i.e. super powers in the real world).

Now, after reading more discussion on the net. I started to see some reasons:


  • I enjoy to think about the computer system/software architecture that make up the Matrix and the characters inside it. E.g. The French-speaking Daemon, computer/program interaction via APIs, two programs "fight" each other. But in M3, majority of the movie is outside of the Matrix. So, I don't get to think of the underlying computer geeky things.

  • I'm not a big fan of super hero save the world, anyway. Ok, I played RPGs like Ultima and alike, but there somehow a bit of sarcastic/cheesy feeling as the plot unflow in the movie. Don't ask me why....

  • I'm not a religious person.

  • I didn't saw the pattern/parallelism/contrast in the movie that link up the 3 episodes. The story looks chaos to me... even it is actually not that bad.

  • There are not as many philosophical questions raised in the movie as in M3 or M, which intrigue me.


Maybe that's what makes it an interesting conclusion of the story of Savior....
