History Film / TheMatrixRevolutions

* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler: Smith comes ''very'' close to figuring out the Oracle's deception just before he assimilates her. He's ''rightly'' suspicious of why she's chosen to wait for him rather than flee and correctly deduces she must have a purpose. The Oracle then intentionally asks him about Sati's fate (which she would know), interrupting Smith's train of thought and preventing him from following his deduction to its logical conclusion until it's too late.]].

* MsFanservice: Persephone.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: During the battle of Zion, Captain Mifune is the leader of the [[HumongousMecha APU]] unit and his APU is one of the last to go down.

[[[/folder]]

* MeaningfulName: Rama is another name for Hindu god Vishnu, Kandra means [[AwesomeMcCoolName "slayer of death"]], and Kamala is a word for the lotus flower. Together they made a daughter program named for [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the traditional live burning of widows on their husband's pyre]] that was deemed useless and marked for deletion.

* AmmunitionBackpack: A variation on this with the humans' mecha, which would load ammunition ("knuckle-up") by lifting the guns behind them and magnetically attaching the chains. The ammo was loaded in a manner similar to an ammunition backpack.

* LongLastingLastWords: It wasn't intended this way but a lot of people took [[spoiler:the death of Trinity]] this way, because [[spoiler:her]] FinalSpeech just went on and on and ''on'' and on...

'''Oracle:''' Oh, no, no, I didn't, but I believed. I believed.

* ProphecyTwist: The prophecy was that The One would reach the Source and end the war. [[spoiler: And Neo did - just not the way anyone expected.]]

* FallenAngel: His name is Seraph. Everyone he encounters knows who he is. And if they want to fight - well, too bad for them. The Trainman's response to his request for help is "No one can help ''you''." And The Merovingian referred to him (in French) as "the angel without his wings."

[[ImmediateSequel Following up directly after the previous film]], the machines have reached humanity's real world stronghold of Zion and begun their implacable assault, and while Zion is preparing for war, the chances of their survival are slim. Meanwhile, Neo (Creator/KeanuReeves) attempts to defeat Agent Smith (Creator/HugoWeaving), who has now all but taken over the Matrix, and end the war between humans and machines altogether.

The story follows up directly from the previous film. As the machines reach humanity's real world stronghold of Zion and begin their implacable assault, Neo (Creator/KeanuReeves) attempts to defeat Agent Smith (Creator/HugoWeaving), who has now all but taken over the Matrix, and end the war altogether.

For a time, this film served as a GrandFinale for the ''Matrix'' film franchise... until a [[TrilogyCreep fourth film]], ''Film/TheMatrixResurrections'', was greenlit.

** He starts out cool and collected if slightly cocky, but as the fight against Neo progresses, you can clearly see that Neo's tenacity slowly starts to get to Smith. At one point, he gives a monologue to Neo about how the things he's fighting for are meaningless, and devolves in composure to the point where he outright ''screams'' at Neo asking him why he persists, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood physically unable to understand why Neo would keep going at this point]]. When Neo answers his question ("Because I choose to"), Smith pretty much loses it.

'''Oracle:''' Oh no, no I didn't, but I believed. I believed.

* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: Several between Neo and Trinity. The most notable is when she comes to tell him that she's going with him no matter what; they take a moment to share their fears, and then simply hold each other.

** [[spoiler:When Neo allows himself to be assimilated and then destroys his Smith clone from the inside, Smith, knowing what's about to happen, can only muster an almost-childish "Oh, no, no, no. No, it's not fair."

* VillainousBreakdown: Agent Smith seems to suffer from it in the final fight. He started out cool and collected if slightly cocky, but as the fight against Neo progresses, you can clearly see that Neo's tenacity slowly starts to get to Smith. In his "Why do you persist?!" moment, he pretty much screams out his infamous rant with an enraged look in his eyes. When Neo answers his question ("Because I choose to"), Smith pretty much loses it.

* EyeScream: The fight between Neo and Bane/Smith. When the plasma rifle goes awry and cuts a power cable, [[spoiler:Smith jams it into Neo's face, ''effectively melting his eyes.'']]
--->[[spoiler:'''Neo:''' I think you better drive.]]

'''Oracle:''' Oh no, no I didn't, but I believed. I believed.''

'''Oracle:''' Oh no, no I didn't, but I believed. I believed."''

* TheVeryFinalDungeon: The Machine City -- a foreboding place of unfeeling, ruthless mechanical beings swirling around massive metal towers connected by huge power lines that glow with harsh blue energy.

* FinalBattle: The film concludes with Neo, now acting on behalf of the Machines to salvage the Matrix, entering the Matrix to confront the now-overrun virtual world to challenge and defeat Smith with the agreement that Zion will be spared if he can triumph.

* AssimilationBackfire: Agent Smith assimilates the Oracle, which appears to backfire in some way (since she knew he was coming). It backfires because, as she explained to Neo, "We can't see past the choices we don't understand." Smith could see that Neo would die, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood but not the reason he sacrificed himself]]. At the end, [[spoiler:Neo's assimilation gives Smith a direct link back to the machines, allowing them to activate the Prime Program in Neo, which resets the Matrix and purges the rogue AI]].

* GainaxEnding: Arguable, but it is pretty strange. [[spoiler:At the climax of their battle, Smith stands triumphant over a seemingly dead Neo and begins to ramble about how he foresaw this result. Then he gives a MeaningfulEcho of the Oracle's words to Neo earlier in the film, and Neo slowly stands up. Smith doesn't remember what he just said a moment ago and is visible shaken and afraid of Neo, mumbling that "this can't be right". Neo admits that Smith was right, "it was inevitable", and Smith jabs his hand into Neo's chest and assimilates him without resistance. Smith asks if it's over, and the Neo-Smith copy nods. Then in the real world, a surge of energy rushes into Neo; in the Matrix the Neo-Smith copy twitches and Smith gives him a strange look. The copy's eyes glow white and he explodes, starting a chain reaction that makes all the Smiths glow from the eyes and explode.]] Intrepretations on what exactly happened and why have been discussed ever since.
