I would say it's better than Revolutions but I feel like the underlying elements of the movie don't create as much thought-provocation as the trilogy. It feels hokey and shallow, although they still try the philosophical angle despite the weaker underpinnings. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. ...

The gunplay and close quarters fighting is really, really weak. Like, the bullets don't have any weight, the martial arts are hard to follow and lack style, etc. For a movie that's part of a franchise that had an enormous impact on action cinema, even to this very day, you wouldn't think the action would be its weakest aspect, but... it is. The story is fun enough and full of nostalgia and fan service moments, and I personally really love the ending, but it's not something to watch if you're expecting another mind blowing experience. I think we know now which one of the Wachowski sisters was responsible for the amazing action in the other entries to the series. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. ...

If you haven't seen the other movies, the first is this amazing piece of media that wraps up perfectly And the next two are really poorly tacked on and forced because the first was such an unexpected hit I'd imagine a third sequel is even more forced and pointless --- Until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are ...

LordMarshal posted... A coworker theorizes a convo in the movie was literal and is why its so bad. I cant decide but based on the movie its possible. If you're talking about Warner Brothers saying they were going to make it with or without Lana that much has been confirmed. It also isn't a problem of budget because the movie cost more than the first three matrix movies. Lana was basically forced into taking control of a sequel and decided to spend the first half of the movie shitting all over studios and audiences for forcing people to make sequels and then the second half working through a kind of lazy love story to help her deal with the death of her parents. There clearly wasn't any real drive to push the limits of action like the original movies or explore philosophical concepts like the sequels. It wasn't tapping into some new technology like when the first movie came out and the internet was still relatively young. It wasn't trying to be any one thing in particular and the result is it's kind of mediocre at a bunch of different things at the same time. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

It's compromised, but the issues stem from some really deeply ingrained flaws that go down to the foundation of the movie - studio interference and director apathy basically forcing this movie to exist rather than the movie being a product of love or a genuine desire to tell a story.

Through that viewpoint, maybe the movie is worth watching. Take these for what you will: https://collider.com/matrix-resurrections-sequels-meta-dialogue-james-mcteigue-interview-lana-wachowski/ Because for a few years before Lana said she was going to make it, there was a lot of talk about people working on different versions of Matrix scripts. So, I got the vibe that they were getting ready to move forward on something, with or without Lana. But I'm happy that Lana came back. https://www.indiewire.com/2021/09/lana-wachowski-revived-neo-matrix-4-comfort-parent-death-1234664318/ My dad died, then this friend died, then my mom died, Wachowski recently said at the International Literature Festival Berlin (via /Film). I didnt really know how to process that kind of grief. I hadnt experienced it that closely You know their lives are going to end and yet it was still really hard. My brain has always reached into my imagination and one night, I was crying and I couldnt sleep, and my brain exploded this whole story. And I couldnt have my mom and dad, yet suddenly I had Neo and Trinity, arguably the two most important characters in my life. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
