| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Matrix Revolutions Movie Rating: 
Video Game | |
| The last chapter in the sci-fi trilogy begins as a movie, but quickly devolves into a video game. While humanity's saviour, Neo (Keanu Reeves), heads for Machine City hoping to broker peace, the machines launch a horrific assault against Zion, the home base of the human-resistance movement. Neo disappears from the screen for long stretches of time, taking with him any remnant of a coherent story. Instead, the final battle between Zion and the squid-like machines rolls on endlessly in one special-effects explosion after another, making it look like a live-action version of Space Invaders. The drama could use a jolt of humour or at least some narrative sense, but gets neither. Even the groundbreaking wirework fighting of the first two films has become a yawn-inducing cliche. |
