The more things change, the more they stay the same.
This is getting more hate than it deserves. Did we need more Matrix movies? No. But yet the one we got managed to recapture some of that magic from before. The Matrix was a blockbuster action movie with deeper ideas that made you question your reality. The same can be said for this movie. Ironically, I think a reason this movie is not being received as well is an idea core to it, we don't want to wake up from the lies. We know the world around us is bad and getting worse every day but we don't want to confront it. We are afraid of radical change so we tell ourselves we can't do anything. If anything I think this movie leaned a little too heavily into the philosophy and didn't have enough mindless action to placate the masses.
