I took my niece to see 'The Golden Compass' over Christmas, and without giving away the ending, I will warn potential viewers that this is only the first part in a trilogy (it is produced by the Lord of the Rings crew, after all!). I realised as I watched, that trilogies are generally (when intended to be trilogies, rather than just moneymaking sequels) about the battle between good and evil at the end of time. For those with any knowledge of Freemasonic symbolism, the title 'Golden Compass' will have obvious connotations, but leaving that aside, lets look at some trilogies...
Star Wars: Although originally a trilogy, a new trilogy was made not so long back, technically making this a hexology! If you bear in mind that there is a third set of stories that follow on after the Return of the Jedi, then this is actually a trilogy of trilogies!!! I need not point out that the story is a relatively straight-forward battle between good and evil, with the freedom of all beings the prize.
Lord of The Rings: Again, a pretty clear battle at the end of time, between the forces of good and evil. Worth noting with this one that the last part is the 'Return of The King' - implying that the only way to 'win' is to accept a global dictator-king.
The Matrix: I was happy with the first part as a film on it's own, and didn't really see the need for 3 parts, but bear in mind the theme of the film, and that the last part is called 'Revolutions' it is pretty clear that the message is - in order to be free, there has to be a revolution on a global scale.
Evil Dead: While the second part was essentially a better quality remake of the first, the third part can leave no doubt, as it's title is 'Army of Darkness' and is about... you guessed it - the battle between good and evil that will decide the future of the entire human race.
X-Men: Not a big fan of these, but I've included it simply because the final part is called 'The Last Stand'.
Terminator: Future president of the US, Arnie, starred as the robot that turns good and saves the world. Bear in mind with this trilogy, that the second was titled 'Judgement Day' and the third 'Rise of The Machines' - clearly pointing at a technological aspect to the same great battle at the end of time.
Resident Evil: Again, not a great fan, although I used to love the video-game! Part 2 was called 'Apocalypse'... part three was called 'Extinction' and was symbolically released on the Autumn Equinox of 2007.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Anything to do with Disney has the stamp of insider knowledge all over it, and the third part can leave no doubt, when you realise it is called 'At World's End' (don't fall for the play-on-words - it's not the physical edge of a flat earth, but the END OF THE WORLD!!!!!
Carrying on the Disney theme for a moment, I would like to point out that the most overtly Masonic film ever made - National Treasure - now has a sequel (subtitled 'The Book of Secrets'), and that if there is a third part released, this will be timed to coincide with the climax of 'The Great Work' and it's time to either stand in line and accept the enslavement of the entire human race, or else take an example from the other trilogies and stand up and fight the forces of evil!!!
To conclude, there are various trilogies that don't really fit the pattern, but what I'm looking at are the most successful ones (Godfather was obviously enormously successful too, but is symbolic for other reasons, and the Back to the Future series was not originally planned as a trilogy, but part 2 got too long!).

Well Indiana Jones is interesting, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade (for the grail of eternal life), but now there's the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, aka: Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods. It's the third Indiana Jones movie if you don't count "Raiders," since it's not the same name... technical detail, I know!
There's the Bourne trilogy (so far) and in the last one he gets the truth out to the media with the help of Agent Landy, which is a 'revolutionary' act.
It's called the Bourne Ultimatum which highlights the final choice we have to make: accept a rule by royal bloodlined elites, the return to a (of the) King/Jedi; or revolutions, to fight back in a last crusade, make our last stand and fight the army of darkness and their planned apocalypse at 'worlds end.'
Thanks very much for your comment. I thought about Indiana Jones too, and it was only the fact that they'd made a 4th that put me off: but the last one probably fits into the 'making money sequel' category anyway! I hadn't thought of 'Bourne', but it's a good point - his name is an anagram of Rub Neo (erase the new!).
