Friday, May 13 MOVIE: The Matrix Revolutions GO!, 8.30pm, M (2003) The Wachowski brothers’ final episode of their sci-fi franchise abandons all of the ingenuity of the first chapter in favour of flashy visuals, robotic hardware and a cryptic plot. Neo (Keanu Reeves) is trapped in limbo between the real world and the Matrix and the human race faces extinction in the wake of invading machines. Meanwhile, Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) is trying to rule both worlds and defeat his nemesis once and for all. Weaving is terrific, as is his visually astounding rain-soaked brawl with Neo, but this disappointing, humourless send-off to the influential series only sullies the original’s classic status.

Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann first gave notice of his knockout talent with his iconic backstage musical cliché comedy romp through the rumba that follows the trials of Scott (Paul Mercurio) and Fran (Tara Morice) as they dream of winning a state championship. The characters are so colourful and lovable (Barry Otto is a stand-out), that you have to adore it, something the movie world agreed on, with a string of imitators. That’s Sonia Kruger from TV’s Big Brother as one of Scott and Fran’s rivals.
It’s quite a leap for director Matthew Vaughn to jump from Layer Cake to this fairytale, in which he brings Neil Gaiman’s sublime Victorian-era fantasy novel to the big screen. In the village of Wall, a man (Charlie Cox) goes on a quest to win the heart of his beloved (Sienna Miller), but another journey in search of falling star (Claire Danes) is plagued with obstacles, most notably in the form of an evil witch (Michelle Pfeiffer)(pictured) and a crossdressing pirate (Robert De Niro). Some outrageous cameos from British comedians Ricky Gervais and David Walliams make for a playfully wicked and enchanting tale in the tradition of The Princess Bride.
