Matrix Resurrections

Agent smith says things like OMG and robot sentinels give fist bumps now. Though failing to capture the magic of the first movie, I could appreciate the other sequels for trying to expand the universe and keeping the same tone. This one purposely makes a mockery of itself and calls it self awareness. I'll stick with watching the first one only for now on.

This movie is completely unnecessary to the Matrix world as sometimes it doesn't even feel like a Matrix movie. If not for the many original trilogy flashbacks sometimes I though I was seeing some king of John Wick 3.5 or any other sci-fi-action movie with Keanu Reeves. His performance is forgetable and sometimes looks like he's parodying himelf. The rest of the cast never got my attention, neither the story, and I have to be honest. I felt the story to be so bad and uninteresting that I had to use my smartphone a lot to avoid sleeping.

I'm not saying you shouldn't watch the movie but be ready for nothing like the original trylogy in any item you can rate a movie. Not even the fight scenes are good as they are badly choreographed and filmed, and the special effect are just the same as any other 2021 movie. Nothing special here.

I had low expectations but this is even worse then I was prepared to.

I have to say that I was really disappointed with this movie. Growing up with the originals, I remember how ground breaking they were and how much I looked forward to each one coming out. I know that you can't necessarily measure this movie against the trilogy and I went into it with that outlook but I still found that it just lacked the feel that the originals had, it didn't feel like the matrix completely.

This movie seems like a mess, like they tried to cram 3 more movies into one and as such it moves very fast, to the point where I found it hard to even follow. I personally didn't like the casting for Agent Smith, I felt like he did not bring the same menace or authority to the role. You never really see Neo develop his skills, it just kinda happens. Also the constant snippets of the previous movies peppered into the movie did not fit for me, just seemed weird how they added that in.

Overall this could have been so much better and honestly I don't think this movie adds anything to the original trilogy and nor does it add any real closure to the story or characters so I have to question what the point even was. It's weird because there is no plan on turning this into a trilogy, it's just a one off so what was the point? I give six stars because it made me nostalgic enough to want to watch the original trilogy again and the acting was good, the special effects were good. It's just a shame that they robbed so much from the originals and put them into this movie. Sometimes you watch a movie and it feels like they are making the movie just to make a movie, just because they can, not because it should be done. If you don't watch this movie, then you have not really missed anything.

Morpheus was a smart, profound man who left the impression of a kung fu monk. This new one is an antipathetic character that I wouldn't follow anywhere, even if my own life depends on it.

These new characters they did don't inspire and don't have that intellectual depth. The only thing good about this film are the moments of fights, CGI, and of course, it's nice to see Niobe, Trinity, and Neo.

However, when you get to The Merovingian (Lambert Wilson) speech or to The Analyst (Patrick Haris), you come back to IMDB and edit your rating from "terrible" to "hm, ok".

Haha :D The song from credits. My God, this modern-day society killed everything. This is embarrassing.

It was so bad... that I don't have words to discribe it. Never watch if you don't want to compromise your memory about old Matrix.

Every single moment is stupid and not logical.
