It is not the Matrix that we all loved and changed the world of cinema about 20 years ago. It was just a commercial movie and an advertisement for the Matrix game that is going to be released in the near future.

I wanted it to be another landmark in cinema history. I wanted all of these things, but it wasn't meant to be. It sadly failed in all of these respects. The plot was not respectful to the previous movies, it was weak and I couldn't really care about the outcome. The casting choices were poor, for example Agent Smith, who is supposed to be the meanest and scariest of them all, all but diminished to some generic, forgettable form. Besides Neo and Trinity, the other characters were circus caricatures, each with their own little nickname, party-shop sunglasses and hairstyle. I never felt connected or concerned about the well-being of the characters. Their success or demise were uninteresting. Special effects were average, fight scenes were boring and there was nothing ground breaking, not even on par with the rest of cinema today. Compared to the amazing fight sequences for example in Shang-Chi, it paled in comparison. To top it off, the WOKE messages felt forced, but these I could have lived with if everything else was done right. This movie could have been better. There are many more plotlines that could have been brain-twistingly interesting and mind-melting. But it settled for average. It wasn't meant to be.… Expand

The latest iteration of the matrix series is breaking my matrix fanboy heart. I have loved the movies since they first released and it has been on my top 3 of all times. But that era has come to and end and it's time to say good bye.

The first Matrix got loved by people around the world for the innovative special effects, the deep story, the anime inspired camera shots and the amazing Bullet time, never before seen in cinemas.
Nothing of that magic is kept in Matrix 4. The soul of the Matrix universe is gone and replaced with some kind of Hollywood washed out garbage standard formula 1A.
It's quite noticeable that they didn't really want to make this movie. It's whole existence is a proof of that. Even the meta discussions within the movie provide evidence for this theory.
The film follows the same formula you've seen a million times before. Introduce main character, poorly executed story elements, a few low budget action scenes, some old washed out special effects, climax end fight, curtain call.

Each and every action scene in the movie is worse than in the original. The choreography is slow and predictable. Nothing new is brought to the table. We have all seen it before.
They have a few special effects (you have seen them before) which they re-use during the scenes of the movie. One move, by Neo, is done over 10 times. The same... effect.. 10.. times.. It's unbearable to watch.

To top it off, as a final stab in the back they removed that old "matrix feeling" and atmosphere (Green tinted, slow mo poses that we all loved) and replaced it with a hand full of wokeness instead. White male is bad, women, people of colour and LBTQ+ is good. Keanu Reeves looks like a lost boy surrounded by a political correct woke cast.
Even though I respect all kind of people no matter colour or sexual preferences, I'm getting so tired of having it shoved down my throat. I just wanted to see a great movie, I didn't pay to get lectured. But lectured is what I got, and a great movie was nowhere to be seen.

Matrix 1-3 will keep on living in my heart until the day I die but this movie will be dead and buried. The legend is dead and the Matrix is no more.

But the memories remain.… Expand

Bad. And not bad in a "So bad its good" kinda way. There is a line in the film which feels like the director speaking to the audience.

There is a line in the film which feels like the director speaking to the audience. Saying the content was happening anyway, and they decided better to be a part of it than not. There is a theory going around, I happen to agree with that the director made a bad movie on purpose. And the Wachowski's have been making limited interest artsy movies or big budget flops for a decade plus now. I streamed this movie with my girlfriend. And we both fell asleep at different places. That's not normal! Especially not for me on a first viewing of any film. On a movie with action sequences? Literally a first. The first Matrix changed film culture, and created imitators. The sequels, though less liked still told, in my opinion, a satisfying story. This is more like bad fan fiction than a sequel. It could have been a good movie. There are elements in there that had the potential to make a great film if done right. But whatever not terrible elements there were, they got done dirty. Thats for sure.… Expand

The story seemed to be rushed and it just felt like the last season of Game of Thrones. I felt like so many things happened that just didn't make sense/were not explained. I wanted to see Neo as a bad ass and more bullet time awesomeness.
I am so used to Keanu Reeves' characters being a super bad ass and in this one Neo seemed every bit of the 57 yrs old the actor is and more. I thought "Doogie Houser" was a horrible casting for the movie, you will understand when you watch it. The musical score even disappointed me, it was no were near as good as the other movies. I especially didn't like the ending credits song. What did I like? Carrie Ann Moss is still beautiful and a hottie at 54. Trinity was more of a bad ass than Neo, is Trinity The One now? The trailer for the movie with the White Rabbit remix was one of the best I have ever seen. The use of HDR was good. Some other things I liked would be spoilers so I will stop here.… Expand

Instead, strong far-left social/political messaging and dialog has been shoehorned into the movie. The whole affair is painful to bear witness to, the tone of the original 3 is non-existent. The action scenes are mediocre. Keeanu couldn't cut his hair due to John Wick schedules so the character is just a mopey version of John Wick. Laurence Fishburne wasn't brought back. Scenes feel pointless, weird and incoherent. The movie feels like a politically left leaning tv series who's two sets are a coffee shop with soy latte hipsters and their office they work at. This isn't what anyone wanted.

I can't stress enough how bad this film is. The last 3 are art by comparison. Don't ruin your day by watching this.… Expand

After a truly bitter first taste the glimpses of 1/2 of the Wachowski genius started to seep in through the cracks. A taste of brilliance here, a dash of somewhat decent writing there, before I began to slowly settle in to what this movie has to offer. Unfortunately the small taste was all this film had going for it. I stand firmly in the camp of not completely disliking either Reloaded or Revolutions. To put them next to this film makes both hated sequels to an undeniable classic seem like Empire and Return of the Jedi. The Matrix Resurrections is a deeply flawed picture. It begs the question if it should exist at all. So much of the style, the exciting life of the former movies of the late 90's and early 2000's had is nowhere to be seen. The writing plops off the page like wet dog excrement. Iconic characters are recast for the worse. Action set pieces and, god forbid I say it, kung fu action sequences the previous films were known for are completely absent in favor of cheap, jump cutting "thrills". There was perhaps a solid 10 minutes of decent storytelling near the middle of the film that shone a bit brighter amongst the miasma before it inevitably took a nose dive into mediocrity. All in all the film is a shocking mockery of the franchise, built to fail.… Expand

There is barely enough story to drive this forward, the dialogue is really akward, there is too much stuff cramped into it, the constand referencing of the first movie is annoying... I honestly don't know where start/stop complaining because I'm still not sure what I have seen. I even didn't realize the movie is over, I had no idea that was supposed to be the climax of the movie. Apart from all these issues, what bothers me even more, the style is simply gone. Enemies are dressed like clowns and where the original made you believe they can evade bullets, I constantly had the feeling they are now jumping into the bullets.… Expand

THE GOOD
- Its original cast returns.. except for Agent Smith and Morpheus.. Really? For real? If I was the director, I would've cancelled the film if they couldn't return.
- Sometimes great visuals
- Entertaining action set pieces
- Great score
- Sometimes stylish (which I like)

THE BAD
- Mediocre performances
- Pacing issues
- A cliche, unoriginal, bland, and overused story concept
- The lighting is too bright and the color correction is too vibrant (it just doesn't look or feel right. The original film better utilizes the CC as it had a green haze plastered over it, when they were in the Matrix. But here, you can't distinguish reality from the Matrix and it can sometimes become confusing)

These are just a few of my main complaints with the film. I had my expectations low and was still disappointed. This sequel could've been a return to form for the Matrix film. A landmark in the Sci-Fi genre, but all that potential is immediately lifted when the writing and sense of direction mixes.… Expand

To think that this abomination of a movie has the same name of the infamous trilogy that changed action movies forever, you'd think you've been living inside an alternate universe where everything is a parody of itself. Trans and black majority main cast cater to the twitter and reddit mob while the mindless, sloppy jumble of mess that is the action scenes reminds me of marvel movies where everything but the kitchen sink is thrown in front of a green screen without any sense of direction or cohesion. The story is laughably skin deep and feels like an utter travesty when compared to the infinitely deep concept of the original films and neither the cinematography, music or anything used in this borefest is memorable or inspiring. Hollywood has truly become creatively bankrupt and not even the big boys from the past can save it anymore. All they care about anymore is to become more woke and try to devour every single beloved franchise out there until nothing is left anymore but utter crap. RIP.… Expand

Neo and Trinity doesn't seem to fit in their own movie, the pacing is atrocious, the characters are all over the place, the plot doesn't make any sense, and it ultimately goes nowhere. The CGI and the fighting scenes, once revolutionary in cinema history with the original trilogy when they were released in the late 90s-early 00s, could have been the only saving grace for this movie to be acceptable, but they are dull and completely forgettable. It almost seems like an attempt from the Wachowskis to boycott their own franchise. At the beginning I was sad that neither Hugo Weaving nor Laurence Fishburne came back to reprise their roles, but looking back at it I believe they just dodged a huge bullet. Save your money (And time!) and watch the other three movies.… Expand

You need to have aUnfathomable garbage in every possible manner, resembling the Wachowski brothers original vision as much as a festering dog turd covered in horse excrement. This abomination is a Razzi award for the next decade. You need to have a concentrated soul of pure hatred or delusion to produce something so loathsome and repugnant to witness. My heart breaks for Keanu Reeves & Carrie-Anne Moss who could not make this script work under any pretenses because of The Matrix Resurrections' unwavering forced woke culture garbage spewing out of every cinematic film grain. It does not surprise me that Lawrence Fishburne isn't Morpheus in this trash heap, and that his unnecessary replacement, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II falls woefully short of both the original actor and character. All the intelligence of the original trilogy has been replaced by offended culture and easy to construct and manipulate plot points that lead nowhere constructive. It is obvious that deception is the only effort put into this disaster, to stretch out a terrible and forced story into a two hour abomination that desparately pleads with the audience to remember the original trilogy as much as possible, even ripping lines and scenes blatantly from the Wachowski Brothers earlier work trying to polish this turd into the same content, failing at every level.

The Matrix Resurrections doesn't resurrect the Matrix franchise; it places a legendary series on critical life support, to the disappointment, rage, and frustration of all who dare to stomach this flick.… Expand
