Once the nostalgia card wears thin, you’re left with cringe-inducing characters played by uncharismatic actors and redundant new plot elements that were either convoluted, embarrassing or just unintentionally laughable. I can’t decide what was worse: How to Train Your Robot Dragon or the leftover transformer from Revenge of the Fallen. Seriously, how the fuck as a producer do you just green light a $175M film like this without snorting cocaine off of a hooker’s anus first, I’m just saying!

[The Analyst steps into frame in a lapis t-shirt, never blinking]: “I am proud to announce that starting today, our new company name is now: Meta. Our Mission remains the same. It’s still about harvesting people, together. Our characters and our visuals, they’re not changing either. But now we have a new North Star, to help bring the Metaverse to life. The dream was always to feel present with the people we care about.“ (Wins ‘Most 2021 Film of the Year Award’ {TM})

A wild, meta, earnest, fascinating, heartfelt mess that isn’t going to be fully understood for years, Lana Wachowski has made the least cash-grabby franchise revival of all time, taking WB’s bux and channelling it into a bombastic story about….well, partly its own creation, but also identity, peace, and more than anything that oh-so-corny power of love to conquer all. Not everything works, and the action is unfortunately unmemorable….but for the most part, this movie SOARS. Expect lots of hate.

The first Matrix had groundbreaking philosophical dialogue on how we perceive reality. But it fit the era as well: as our end of the millennium loner hero became less detached and understood the world around him. This picture revisits those themes and asks how we consume stories and myths--especially ones that're recycled for us. Cinematically it has some of the franchise's best fights, action, and music. And I love the slights towards toxic fanboys and incels. A fantastic return to the source.

This movie sums up 2021 sensibilities nicely: Stupid uninteresting characters, childish insipid writing and brainless boring action scenes in a franchised universe where all sense and originality are absent. The first Matrix movie is trampled under the boot heel of gender politics and woke culture, with Trinity as the new improved female Jesus and Neo and the rest of the males ineffective yes-men to her and a blue haired female who can't fight. Why? Because fuck the patriarchy I guess.

The gall to weaponize nostalgia in this way is bold, silly, and mostly successful. People of a certain era (myself included) probably cannot objectively critique this in a way that has much merit. I realized this about 30 seconds in, and then just sat back and watched with a stupid grin on my face. Far from perfect but its uniqueness is what is missing from 95% of movies over a certain budget.

Rather brazen to make a personal essay about the creative process for two hundred million dollars. So this slightly eye-roll-worthy post-modern text is not a Matrix film, but an op-ed about the impact of the Matrix trilogy - at least until it turns into the worst Matrix iconographic representation anybody could make up. Anyway, the suits got their revenge and released this fan-fiction to streaming.

1>2>4>3. Reloaded had awesome fight and chase scenes but boring philosophy. Revolutions was more middling with its generic bulletstorm and okay final fight. Resurrections really had an interesting premise (minus edgy meta commentary) but pulls the sequel trope where it makes the previous films' hard work pointless. Neo was The One but now everyone is a superhuman, the agents are bad, and he's nothing special. Recasted actors were fine. Fav scene: office gunfight and Mr. Smith coming back online.

Only can knock it for the fast pacing and generic action, but otherwise this is a blast. Starts by brilliantly satirizing corporate/tech/IP/remake culture by sticking The Matrix trilogy inside the matrix, then leads us through a plot that boils down to the same thing the original Matrix boiled down to - Neo and Trinity's relationship. It's just a love story. A wonderful love story surrounded by both an acknowledgement and a rejection of the binary choices life throws at us. And it's also funny!

First act was great, basically a midlife crisis film within a wonderfully silly meta narrative, that arguably felt more true to the originals premise, than the other sequels' generic sci-fi plot. Then the red pill kicked in and the movie lost focus in the serie's ever-underwhelming "real world", that was equally over-explained and underdeveloped. The finale, messy as it was, still in essens felt thematically resonant, though, if scrutinized, the underlying message may be a bit problematic.

Even among the original trilogy, each subsequent movie showed a decline in popcorn entertainment and a increasing inclination toward what seemed like a pompous mixture of philosophical bumbling and equally self-satisfying sci-fi complexity. This one is, naturally, a continuation of the downward trend. I have no explanation for how it got made, nor what the fuck Lana was thinking. It's a story not worth telling, compete and utter bullshit.

While it was the expected utter crap, it wasn't even the expected hilarious utter crap. Just another sad reminder that movies used to be something other than watching 2,5 hours of random brainstorming by questionable mental health and no process of elimination whatsoever (or i don't want to see what DIDN'T make the cut). There should be a law not to touch property more than 2-3 years after release. It's safer for everyone, trust me.

A typical Wachowski movie: constant exposition, weird shit happening at a super fast pace, quirky characters dragged through an adventure against their will, and an out of place love story at the core. Most people don't seem to love that formula. I've always loved it. Could have done without the old scenes being shown, but other than that I'm glad I got to see another legit Matrix movie in the 2020s, though it's more a movie about The Matrix trilogy than it is a Matrix movie.

matrix baby! read someone defined this as a reboot, remake, sequel, prequel, and self-analysis at the same time and that is the perfect definition! it's compelling, self-reflexive, funny, and entertaining. most action scenes are not as iconic as the previous ones and that would have been a good thing if there weren't this many generic action scenes - and if we didn't know what wachowski is capable of. otherwise, it's one of the best ever sequel/revival.

'The Matrix: Total Recall' is a couple of hours of enjoyable nonsense, and easily the second best 'The Matrix' film. The story is near incomprehensible, but the motivations of the characters are simple enough, and we aren't held hostage to another philosophy seminar ala the Wachowskis. Speaking of. I couldn't help but notice a distinct suicide theme throughout this movie. You okay there Lana? How's the whole sex change thing going? Is all still well?

Definitely a kind of ‘wtf’ experience… which I suppose fits the themes of The Matrix. Meta to the point of masturbatory, in some ways deeply weird, in others a surprisingly safe and straightforward continuation of the lore (spoiler alert - they’re in the Matrix). Not without entertaining spots, and refreshingly takes place more in the cyber world versus the overly real world-based Revolutions. Still though, the action is largely underwhelming, compared to all three previous films.

I understand that it's purposely self-aware & deconstructing its own mythology, but that alone doesn't make for a good movie. There's nothing super clever about this. I also understand the digs at the patriarchy & can appreciate that message if better written. Too many recycled ideas, scenes, and literal flashbacks. If it's meant to be a joke about the nature of sequels and franchises in general, good for Lana, but it could have been a 10 minute short film. There's absolutely no rewatch value.

Exactly what the hell is interesting or clever about Lana Wachowski acknowledging she's repeating old ideas & scenes? The 1st Matrix had groundbreaking efx; new ways of shooting action & a great sci-fi metaphor that had viewers consider the idea that their reality wasn't real. But this is LITERALLY the same old plot (Neo doubts reality; decides not to escape, then escapes; gets powers; goes back to save loved one); same old action; & the sequels' pointless existential talk leading to not much

One of the most interesting blockbusters in years. I’m not sure everything gets nailed completely, and quite frankly it leaves something to be desired visually, but I’ll give it a nod for trying. Not only is it trying to play with the idea of these forced sequels (it does this in a humorous way) it’s trying to come to terms with how the Matrix has infiltrated culture at large. This movie is what the last Jedi or force awakens wishes it was. What the marvel universe would never have guts to do.

Too many thoughts for a mini-review. The first section (meta and possible psychosis) was really interesting and I almost wish they really committed to that and gave us a St. Elsewhere ending. The new ideas were fun (the evolution from the Architect to the Analyst/Zuckerberg was a great 2021 update), but it was really dragged down by trying to bring back too much just for fan service. Overall, there's a lot I really did like about this but it just felt underdeveloped.

This is not the movie people want/ expect, but IDGAF, I loved it. It is earnest, it is horny, it is completely sincerely about the power of love and also anti-capitalistic. I am tired of tired and narrow cinematic paradigms of what a film should be, I am tired of chosen one/ power fantasies and cinephiles who are afraid to feel feelings. And this film is not that, it is true. It also takes fun digs at plenty of things from our time.

"The thing about stories, they never really end do they? We're still telling the same stories we've always told, just with different names, faces." A great meta quote that ends a probably overly meta scene (the WB mention is too much) but kicks off the film's fascinating re-examination of narrative truth and fiction, identity and choice, binaries and in-betweens in an old but new world. As the plot picks up it stumbles though; the story mechanics are convoluted and the stakes feel strangely low.

The weirdest and most interesting blockbuster of 2021 (and surely among the most experimental of all-time). Manages to be absurdly meta without feeling smug or irritatingly cute. On the contrary, the hyper self-aware first act is honestly pretty delightful. The action stuff is surprisingly weak (especially considering the pedigree of the franchise), but everything inbetween is so strange that I felt completely absorbed in it. I kind of can't believe this movie got made, but I'm so happy it did.

I really liked how it started, with Neo back in the Matrix, caught in the lies of a mundane life once more. We are never really shown what the threat towards the remnants of the humankind actually is, but we're told about it. The storytelling is weak so that despite some interesting ideas, cool fights and of course Neo + Trinity doing badass stuff again, the movie is too much all over the place to work.

This starts out as a very self-referential and self-conflicted film, but it doesn't quite dare to go “all-out” with that. It also has other themes to get across, while simultaneously keeping the guardrails in place and providing lots of comfort food. The action is surprisingly underwhelming. Not terrible, I'd call it "industry standard", but this is The fricking Matrix and I hoped for better. Ultimately, this is a film with themes better than its details, and ideas better than its execution.

Not bad enough to detest, not good enough to like. A Matrix movie should not make me feel so "meh." The first one had lofty ideas and a sense of style/attitude, with great imagery. Even the sequels looked and felt better than this. I liked some of the action sequences but some of the hand-to-hand lacked impact with little crunch in the hits. The ideas themselves are fine (hardly revolutionary but decent), and some nostalgia works. A bunch of ideas smashed together but lacks a real identity.

Probably better than the first two sequels, but it's hard to decide. Those were really bad. This one is too self-aware for its own good and every aspect is of poor quality. Half of the screen time is filler and the allegory is obviously and unashamedly leftist. Spoiler: the real antagonist of the movie isn't the robots. The enemies are gaslighting, the strive for objectivity, hating robots, and not including a woman as one of The One(s). Would have been regarded as brilliant by preteens in 2001.

Like all the wachowski movies there’s like a zillion ideas intertwining. The iron grip IP has on cinema and on the mind. How capitalism can’t approve anything but safe sequels. How sanitized and exploitative tech culture has become (it was always obvious this would happen)and how the matrix itself has woven itself into the very fabric of western society and what happens when creators can no longer control the power their creations have. A refusal to give into political and movie systems

Only way Lana could return before WB 'Force Awakened' it. Self-mythologizing concept of Matrix as cultural phenomemon within itself, a game built by Neo inside a neo-Matrix about his old times as The One. That's why first hour is so weirdly brilliant. There are bills to pay, but Lana still shines - Last Jedi fashion to reshape Trin as also The One, few but iconic set-pieces (jumpers in the bike 'ride', bar Swat brawl). You mirror the past not for a brighter future, but to survive the present.

As a die-hard Matrix fanboy who actually has enjoyed every entry into the franchise (yes, even the games), I still went into this film with lowered expectations. After all, how often have 'resurrections' of dead franchises worked out in the past? I was pleasantly surprised that this actually is a pretty decent entry. While it does heavily rely on fanservice for roughly the first third of the film, it all comes around in the end to be a decent romp back into The Matrix. Wouldn't mind another.

Sure, it's not as good as the original Matrix. However, I liked it better than 2 & 3. The meta references in the video game development scenes were a clever way for Lana to lash out at the studios and her critics. Unfortunately the film gets far less clever in the second half. And all the critiques of it relying too much on flashback scenes are accurate. Still, I enjoyed it and it's a must-see for any Matrix fan.

I think that Matrix: Resurrections, as a piece of film, picks up where "The Matrix" left off 20 years ago. I think it is a similarly important piece of film, but I expect it will be largely panned by everyone because it tries to keep the action elements that many believe made the original film (films?) great. But here they clearly detract. Cut out the action and consider it a piece of drama and I think it's actually pretty good.

Ultimately it just feels unnecessary, and its own awareness of that hardly helps. Abdul-Mateen II does justice to Morpheus but Groff is hugely miscast as Smith.

It’s closer in spirit to the sentimental YA novel-ness of Jupiter Ascending than any other Matrix movie. There’s scarcely any memorable action. The art direction/costumes MIGHT be cool if I ever got a proper look at them. The soundtrack is songless, leaving nothing but a bog-standard 21st century Hollywood score. Yes, I’m buried up to my neck in nostalgia and no, I will not cut this movie a break. It is a competent, average summer flick that is even less palatable outside of the hot months.

Considering that it was doomed from the start - something clearly acknowledged by Lana herself and in the movie itself - it was better than I expected. Especially the first hour was actually pretty good. But this is not a "villain of the week" type of story, and after the meta commentary was mostly over, there was little left. So yeah, would have been better if Warner respected the creators' wishes but, naturally, they didn't.

The RW side of the culture wars is 99% insane, but that non-insane 1% is that more representation doesn't always mean better. Resurrections, TLJ & that Ghostbusters remake are the biggest examples of flashpoints in which some people on the left are compelled to defend pieces of media that are of terrible quality in the face of actors getting death threats. This has fragments of interesting ideas, but it's so pleased with itself & devoid of memorable action that it's even worse than Revolutions.

I take this to be a meta-film about the state of superhero films today. The film tries to deal with the reality of having too much baggage, expectations, and possible frustrations in a superhero movie even before it was made. The Q is how to have a thrilling, fresh movie in an age where everything becomes vintage even before being new. Perhaps the only way is to acknowledge that reality and reject any claim to authenticity. Maybe only then can there be a genuine beginning? I liked it.

The Matrix 4 is an embarassing trash fire that thinks it can get away with it by being overly meta. Half of the movie you have no idea what's going on because it simply doesn't make sense, the other half you're wishing it was over. The robots resurrected their biggest threat because he's such an efficient battery? What? The action scenes are awful. Reeves is wooden even by his standards. The old age makeup is terrible and for some reason Chopra looks yellow. It may actually be the worst Matrix.

It starts out quite interesting as Neo's experiences from the first 3 films are apparently recreated in a video game, and certainly the visual effects industry has come on a long way since the last instalment. However, it gets a bit too meta, and the story essentially just falls back into the first one, rehashing the "what is really real?" bit, when we know that he's in the sodding Matrix again because why not at this stage. Makes you realise how much Fishburne and Weaving were doing.

Resurrections takes the dumbest idea from the original trilogy (batteries) and expands it into a major plot point with painful techno-babble. There are some interesting concepts raised, but a frantic pace used to masked too many ill-thought-out ideas obscure the goods ones from being developed. The constant flashes of the originals were reminders of better films, with paralleled action shots feeling too derivative. A few amusing moments, but I rarely found the film immersive. A let-down!

There's actually some surprisingly decent and fresh ideas here and for the most part everything involving Neo and Trinity works really well. However all the new characters and their performances are mediocre and bland with the except of NPH's Analyst, YAM2's reimagining of Morpheus didn't work for me and the constant flashbacks to the original films were jarring and seemed like forced attempts at nostalgia.

A reboot was not such a great idea, and has some interesting content in parts, but what weighs down the movie most is the bulky baggage from the past. And from there it gets worse. And now I know why almost everyone is disappointed. Only half bad though.

The action directing and stunt choreography in this movie are shameful. This franchise is known for iconic action scenes, and this film brings generic, poorly-lit, shaky-cam, fast-edit garbage, with tons of close-ups and jump cuts to hide shitty stunt work. Hardly any real action. The whole first 30 minutes should have been cut; it is worthless and totally wrong tone for a matrix film. Looks like a made-for-tv movie, complete with soap-opera effect in spots and dumb slow-mo-blur. Atrocious.

Quite bland and a bit boring at times. Nothing new, the meta references are not enough.

A 10-second Chad Stahelski cameo should not have been my favorite part of the movie, but I think it was. I liked most of the meta qualities of this film but it certainly wallowed a bit too much in the grandeur of its own predecessor. It's commenting on how facile/hollow many of these late sequels, reboots, and rebootquels we're constantly being fed by Hollywood are while leaning into those same pitfalls and not escaping them.

Could have been worse. I liked the style and the costumes. I also liked the meta aspects of the first half of the film. Unfortunately it loses steam and edge in the second half, partly becoming the uninspired sequel/reboot it criticizes in the first half. The stakes feel low, the story a bit unclear and unfocused and the ending in particular feels like they ran out of ideas or budget and they had to complete the film somehow. Had it run with the ideas of the first half I'd have enjoyed it more.

What if making the original Matrix movies was an entire Matrix of itself and now we need to break free from these fake Matrix movies to unravel the true Matrix in all of us? Woah.

I don't know if I'm being so harsh but it was like the movie is only been made for pleasing the fans. it seems so pushed to have another story. I am just glad I saw trinity again but like that's all.

Gratuitous in the way Jurassic World and Star Wars 7-9 was and Avatar 2-5 will be, without grandeur or good casting. Could've been way worse though, like ending with "To Be Concluded." Also, can someone please edit a movie to be under 120 minutes? I'm going to pull a Keanu at the Games Awards rooftop after party if you keep editing every major release to 165 minutes now.

Primeiro Matrix que não vejo no cinema, não é especialmente bom, me manteve intrigada por uma hora, depois a coisa desandou toda. Achei interessante o analista como vilão no contexto da metáfora trans, a gente sabe que tem muito analista dinossauro que não se adapta aos novos tempos e que pode induzir muito paciente queer a não sair da Matrix - tenho certeza absoluta que a própria Lana passou por alguns. Plus; Assistam a cena pós créditos pelo amor de Bastet. WEBRip R.A.R.B.G.

I thought the third installment of the series was bad but oh boy, this one is even worse. A disturbing lack in cool sunglasses and tight leather suits and the action is very mediocre. Too much talking, too little fighting and too underwhelming and boring story. The part with the Frenchman is cringe. As Keanu would say: Fuck.

Terrible. The movie itself is self-aware that a sequel to the trilogy is completely unnecessary, and highlights the studio's failings in all of its sequels (more action, bullet-time, etc.). A recast cash-grab that would have been better as a "digitally remastered" Matrix.

In terms of how to approach a late sequel to a beloved property, The Matrix Resurrections is much closer to Twin Peaks: The Return than it is to The Force Awakens. While featuring some familiar faces, calling back to many of the franchise's most beloved elements, and being in essence true to the spirit of the original, this film staunchly refuses to give its audience what it wants while constantly dangling it in front of them.

I think we have the pandemic and HBO Max's hunger for content for this. It feels like an expensive TV movie. Having said that, I'm weirdly glad we got it,probably the 2nd best of the lot. Somehow they improved the romance but the action isnt quite as polished as before. I love Bugs and Morpheus, Smith and Doogie Howser don't work as well.Still, it's respectful to canon and worth a watch. I hope they do something in this universe,even if it's just comics or animated again.

Why does Hollywood keep letting the Wachowskis do things? Was "Jupiter ascending" not the final nail in that coffin? There was no point to this thing other than nostalgia, or whatever passes as nostalgia for the director... And perhaps everyone else involved (well, maybe that and money).
