Re: Movie: Matrix Resurrections
Stuff that elicits a wide range of opinions is usually at least interesting, and in my experience has a higher chance of being good
Immediate universal praise from film reviewers usually means fucking Jojo Rabbit or some shit

Re: Movie: Matrix Resurrections
I went to the cinema for a screening of the original and loved every second of it, even on what was probably my thirtieth screening. And I've been trying to re-watchvthe sequels but I keep falling asleep during Reloaded. If you had your hopes up that this new one would be great again, I'm really not sure what you were basing that on. My hopes were never up, but I was always going to watch the thing. Nothing could change that.

After watching Jupiter Ascending, I seriously doubt they have anything left in the tank.

It’s a lot. Its a whole lot. It’s dumb. It’s cool. It’s meta up it’s ass. Or mad mad on the nose. Or both.
Definitely needs a few spins.

Re: Movie: Matrix Resurrections
The whole meta concept for a Matrix movie is interesting, in paper at least. I saw in the trailers that they show a big chunk of moments of the first Matrix so im intrigued on how they actually use that footage.

To be honest it could lose the first hour and be better for it. Lara is beating you over the head with the point. But you’ll either like that or not. I thought it too much.

It really feels it at points. There’s a lot in here feels unnecessary. But when it’s Moving it’s well paced and well thought out.
