The Matrix: Refunded
-
The real winners of this movie are Hugo Weaving and Laurence Fishburne for refusing to participate lol.

The trilogy was decently wrapped up. With that one line architect said. "How long you think this peace will last? " " As long as it takes" says the oracle. Could have started franchise again with that conversation

For those who knew it was gonna be shit and didn't waste their money, congrats, you actually fought the system.

I remember seeing a poster and just being like: “That’s not Neo, that’s just Keanu Reeves.”

When I saw that they were making this movie…I naïvely thought it would be a worthy revival. I felt 16 again and I was geeking out at the idea of it. Then I saw it…I left the theater quietly and feeling empty. It has to be similar to what being left at the marriage altar feels like.

Based on what I've read, WB kept pushing for a new Matrix, the Wachowskis said no but after losing their parents they said okay. However the movie was pretty much used as a coping mechanism (hence the resurrected characters) and possibly also a mean to satisfy WB's constant nagging. So they clearly didn't put up too much effort for the quality.

The title of this video is the only review anyone will ever need.

The Matrix was known for three things: 1) Amazing hand to hand fight choreography 2) Creative gun play 3) Introducing audiences to some armchair philosophy through the guise of science fiction What the The Matrix Resurrection offers: None of the three things mentioned above.

I can’t get over the continuity error of that handshake 🤝 Their right hands go together, but due to poor blocking, they got Neo looking like he’s going in with the left. Literally could’ve just flipped the camera to over her right shoulder

As YMS said, "If pople ask you if there is a nother Matrix movie, your answer should be no."
-
Keanu spent the movie in full on "I'm just here for the paycheck" mode, and I cant even blame him.
-
The film is so meta, that the director might as well have walked onto the screen, told the other characters to leave, and just talked the audience. “That Hollywood, am I right?”

I just watched it on TV the other day and it felt like a fanfiction in motion. First, we have to circumvent canon. Resurrect Trinity and Neo. Next, construct a backstory around why the machines would not only resurrect them but keep them alive. Sprinkle it with liberal use of flashbacks. Add a touch of modern political philosophy. It's a fanfiction, without two of the major characters. Four, if you count the Oracle and the Architect.

Sad thing is there's a hint of a even better movie in that disaster with the machine Civil War. Human involvement through the Matrix would have made sense and you still get the awesome fights these movies are known for. The humans could even have some infighting over who which side in the civil war to choose. I could imagine two separate crews going into the Matrix to fight over it. Perhaps the humans could finally come to the surface to build a new city with the help of the machines and we see a new Society integrating human & Machines who decide to live in both the Matrix & the real world in the end.

Turns out the Wachowski Brothers were better at making movies than the Wachowski Sisters.
-
I think someone thought the new "bullet time" thing would be really cool, but a lot of those sequences felt made-for-TV quality.

This is the only film where using CGI to de-age the actors could've made sense, since the matrix is a simulation, and they decided not to do it. Hell, they could've used CGI to turn a young acrobatic kung-fu fighter into Keanu in post so he looked like a badass and not a middle aged has-been. They could've even written it off, by noting how "you don't notice things look unusual in a dream until you wake up" if they wanted
