The Matrix Resurrections

[roxics]

Watched it on HBO a couple days after it came out. It wasn't the worst, I might watch it again at some point in the future if I'm bored. But it was kind of slog in the middle there. A couple of times I wondered if it was going to be over soon. Kind of hoping it would be. It felt like a lamer, safer version of the original trilogy. I'm kind of convinced that the meta stuff at the beginning is actually a true confession. That maybe Lana didn't really want to make another one but the studio got pushy and was going to anyway. I don't know that for certain and haven't done any "research" on that. So I could be completely off base. But that's kind of how the movie feels to me. Almost like a fan film that somehow convinced Keanu and Carrie-Anne to be in it. But not the worst fan film ever. Just not one that was all that exciting or was able to capture the soul of the original trilogy, and certainly not the first film.

I don't think any executive on the planet genuinely thought it was a good idea...I mean what other possible outcome could there have been by releasing it to both at the same time? None.

Although I am a huge fan of the Matrix Universe but this sequel is the only film in the series which I couldn't watch till the end

I guess they can’t sue them for making a terrible sequel that no one wanted to watch.
