2003 film by the Wachowskis
The Matrix Revolutions is a 2003 American science fiction action film written and directed by the Wachowskis. It is the third film in The Matrix film series, shot back-to-back with The Matrix Reloaded (2003). It stars Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving and Jada Pinkett Smith. The film follows Neo and his allies as they fight to end the war between humanity and the machines permanently while opposing the rogue Agent Smith.
The Matrix Revolutions was released worldwide on November 5, 2003, by Warner Bros. Pictures, and was the first live-action feature film to be released in both regular and IMAX theaters simultaneously. Like its predecessor, the video game Enter the Matrix and The Animatrix, a collection of short animations, supported and expanded the film's story. It grossed $427.3 million, becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2003, but marked a decline from both its predecessors and received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the visual effects but criticized the lack of new ideas and characterization, as well as the final battle.
While being the final installment in the original trilogy of the series, the storyline of the films were continued in the now closed video game, The Matrix Online (2005). A fourth film, The Matrix Resurrections, was released in 2021.
