Not as great as the original, and doesn't take itself too seriously, would've been better timed to release as a summer movie. More like a solid 8, but the internet Trans hate brigade is downvoting, so giving it the nudge up it deserves.

Incredible in very unexpected ways. Looking forward to watching it again. There is a lot going on that isn’t just surface deep.

Although, Resurrections is so much better than Reloaded and Revolution. Believe it or not, this film is a love story... I wouldn't be surprised if Lana and WB make the fifth installment.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Remove the faux philosophy of Reloaded and Revolutions, and throw in a dash of scathing real-world commentary, equally targeted at the studio machine and at the frothing audiences that demanded its existence, and you get The Matrix: Resurrections. I guess it's arguable whether this film is 'canon Matrix' or an experiment in using an existing film franchise to make a statement about the nature of impractical and unneeded sequels to completed stories. There's a very clear subtext in the film that Warner Bros strong-armed the Wachowskis into making a Matrix sequel and told them if they didn't do it, they'd do it without them (and we've all seen how that turned out for George Lucas). To me this is a much more clever and cutting Matrix than the last two that is more focused on present-day societal problems and how we interface with media. It's extremely metatextual, and takes critical swipes at large portions of its own audience. Some will love it, some will hate it. Personally, I found it refreshing and about time some creator with clout said something about what the endless fart stream of unnecessary sequels is doing to the movie industry and to people's minds. There was also a handy parallel between the film's Matrix and today's internet and how it makes people act and think.

There are fresh new concepts like some magnetic nanoparticles that allow programs to take a physical form in the real world (cool!), and not ALL the machines are evil, which paves the way for interesting human-machine relations. I liked all the new characters and loved that Agent Smith was portrayed by a different actor this time. I personally like that they didn't bring back the entire old cast because I'm getting sick of seeing all my childhood heroes grow old, unflattering and fat, as is done in many other film rehashes. If I want to see Hugo Weaving's deft performance as Smith I need only to boot up any of the original three films. Watching it again for the member berries would have done nothing for me, so it felt nice to change it up. They kept the primary actors/characters, wrote some out, and reimagined others. The new characters were more fresh and enjoyable than many of the trilogy's original side characters, though they're no more or less throwaways overall than your average film side characters. I feel as if many people haven't seen the original trilogy lately and are looking back at those films through rose-colored glasses. Aside from the first film, they aren't as good as anyone remembers. The fights in them aren't all as good as people remember, either, and the new ones in this film are on par. I think it goes over people's heads that the "Morpheus" in this film is not actually Morpheus, but a program Neo created for his video game from his vague memories of Morpheus and with dashes of Agent Smith thrown in. It's a new character who is simply named after Morpheus. The actor did a very good job playing a character that was a bit of a mashup of Smith and Morpheus (the fusion of their personalities was fun) and I enjoyed him a lot. Bugs is the show-stealer of the new crew, however, because unlike many characters in this series she blunders more often and has a bit more of a novice edge, making her seem actually vulnerable and enhancing the dramatic tension of fight scenes. I liked her charm and humor, and that the film overall had more wit and humor, not as over-serious as its predecessors. NPH is a great villain.

At the core of the story is really just a heartfelt romance between Trinity and Neo. It ended with flashes of Magnolia and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and I wasn't sure where it was going to land, but was happy with it ending less bleak than the last one. As for claims that the film is woke, I didn't see it. The messages and humor take jabs at all sorts of groups and felt nonpartisan overall. There's a subtle jab at MAGA that might trigger you if you're balls-deep invested in the MAGA slogan, but there are as many parodies of snarky liberal hipsters, so I don't really see the big deal. The cast of the film is full of lots of women, many races, and a handful of gays, but it's never politicized. Any "feminist" moments in the film are pretty practical ones I think any rational person could get behind (e.g. don't judge me unfairly just b/c I'm a woman), not the horribly artificial gender tiffs and male-character-bashing of films like The Last Jedi. I'm sure this will result in many downvotes, but I think there are two reasons this film is getting lambasted.
1) It should never have existed, and rather than the creators simply folding to audience/studio demands to make it or watch someone else make it (and potentially ruin the trilogy's legacy) they wrote a film that directly addressed the issue.
2) This went over people's heads, or they simply don't like that the creators decided to do that instead of just trying to churn out some needless sequel.… Expand

The new characters didn't feel forced and there acting was exceptional. Everything fit together so well in context with the original matrix trilogy, Ani-Matrix, the video games and didn't feel rushed. The matrix nerds like myself will appreciate the way everything was tied together and will definitely identify how much they stayed true to the source universe. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I get there are some differences between the first movies but as Smith says in the last movie "I know you said the story was over for you, but that's the thing about stories. They never really end, do they? We are still telling the same stories we've always told, just with different names, different faces and I have to say I'm kind of excited. After all these years, to be going back to where it all started. Back to the Matrix." I think what people need to see that things were never gonna be the same after the first movie. People were never gonna be happy with the following movies. Making a sequel doesn't mean **** on the legacy of the trilogy. I felt great going back to the matrix and I don't understand the hate. The movie still made me ask wtf is going on at times, just like the trilogy. I just feel like people nowadays complain and cry like babies when they don't get what they want.… Expand

I don't want the previous trilogy retold, I want something new and this movie brought that. Not here to spoil things or argue about "woke" culture. The story itself is pretty interesting and the writers and story tellers have done a wonderful job of updating it to modern times. Frankly, I had a blast watching it and would recommend anyone who wants to watch it and was a fan of the previous trilogy to watch it without any preconceptions or bias. Sure Neo (Keanu) is an amazing person and his character was pretty damn great in the first trilogy, but so was Trinity (Carrie-Anne). Just keep that in mind.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed the movie a lot. There is a lot of self-referential/meta-humour in the first third of the movie but it works well in my opinion, I don't think it is distracting or annoying and it also makes sense within the plot of the movie.

Since we already understand the matrix going into the movie, the bending of reality can be turned up a notch without confusing the viewer and I found that they made good use of that in the first act to still keep us guessing about what is "really" happening in the Matrix or what are superstitions within Neo's mind within the Matrix (so second-degree simulations, I guess).

Dialogue and in-universe concepts are multi-layered in a good way, many lines and aspects of the world are clearly social commentary not so coded that one would miss it but also not so blatant that they would be immersion-breaking.

Of course, there are some holes in the plot and some plot points are at least unclear. But none of that is totally unexplainable and so big that it would have taken me out of the experience. Some of the exposition is a little vague and some doesn't go anywhere.

The movie has action and violent conflict but they are not the focus. The focus is clearly the experience of the main characters, Neo and Trinity, within a system that tries to control them and their decisions. At no point was my main concern whether Neo or Trinity were about to be hit by a stray bullet. That might make the action scenes less exciting but if the action had been the focus of this new Matrix movie I would have been disappointed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a huge fan of the matrix Trilogy... I literally consumed my first collection that included the Animatrix along with plenty of extra footage on how Keanu and all the others trained so hard...

Now... That was the past. And what do we get here? A bunch of online keyboard lions crying that woke colture has once again destroyed something that we grew to love during our younger years... Like it happened to Ghostbusters and Star Wars.
Why?

And I'm gonna get deeper into this: the union between Neo and Trinity was what always made things work, even in the past.

You think that now she has been changed and is a woke character? So it was fine when she gave Neo a kiss of life? What about Trinity busting Agents' asses on that highway to secure an asset and all the other stuff she did? She's a badass and always was.
And when they died, as it said in the movie, Neo and Trinity's source codes combined. Which was what could bring energy to this new machines faction that want to reopen the fields for growing humans... But instead, with just those two, that they saved from death, it would be sufficient. Why? Because they are BOTH THE ONE now.

The only problem is that a mind that was already freed tries to break the illusion again... And while the coding for this altered Matrix was being done it's damn obvious that part of Neo went into Trinity...

In short, what the flying **** are you all complaining about! It's freaking amazing and perfectly working in the Matrix lore! Trinity was always a badass, Neo was the superman of Matrix, now we have two Chosen Ones born from their feelings for each other, through death and time!

Bring it on! I loved all of this. And I hate gratuitous wokeness. This movie had none.

Most of these idiots with multiple accounts downvoting this movie to oblivion probably didn't even realize that Smith, The Merv and all the others were just bots created within the simulation and not the real programs from the past.

Here's my 10 to you, Keanu, still my favorite of all time. To you, Carrie-Anne, for being the best badass EVER (probably along with Ripley from the Alien movie series)... It's a masterpiece, worthy of the name Matrix.… Expand

If you went to the theatre expecting another Matrix (the original), then you had unrealistic expectations, as no movie from this franchise will ever equal or surpass the original. And so to give this movie a bad score based on that unfounded disappointment, seems rather unfair to me.

I liked the updated Matrix. I was glad I found out what happened to Neo and Trinity after the end of Revolutions. I'm also quite happy with how the movie ended. The new architect was spot on (remember how much **** everyone gave the old architect?). Smith's storyline could have received some more screentime. The way the Merovingian was treated would be my only critique of this movie, as it was quite over the top, to the point it was cringy...

I hope everyone gives this movie a second chance, and finds it worth their time to review their initial reviews.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before watching the movie, I was confused about some of the criticisms. however after watching in person, it turned up to be outstanding! I realized I was misleaded by some reviews. The true is, a little patience you need to watch the matrix 4.

If you are a serious audience, you should be able to appreciate about what the movie going to tell after one hour's watching. The movie has a deep structure, not a shallow one. simply amazing!

I have to salute to the writer, you are awesome as usual. you did a really good starter for a new trilogy! no disappointed!!… Expand

Not sure why a hate mob is forming around this movie, but I strongly disagree with it. Matrix Resurrections is an extremely well-done film that has a solid story that covers both what you'd expect out of a follow up to the Matrix RevolutionsNot sure why a hate mob is forming around this movie, but I strongly disagree with it. Matrix Resurrections is an extremely well-done film that has a solid story that covers both what you'd expect out of a follow up to the Matrix Revolutions but also spends the early part of the movie dealing with the meta text of what it means to make a new matrix movie and the glaring problems with reboot and sequel culture. This is a far more meaningful film than any late sequel/reboot to come before it (perhaps because one of the original authors is involved, thank you Lana).

The only problems I see people regularly complaining about that are reasonable relate to the use of CGI and the cinematography, simply put this movie just doesn't look as good as the previous entries however that is purely down to the way the scenes were shot and edited, the sets, the costumes, and the concepts are all great. Still, such a thing is a minor complaint and I'd suggest anyone using that as a reason to give this movie a low rating is missing the forest for the trees. This movie is deeper than its action, just as the previous Matrix films were about so much more than their set pieces.

Oh, and if you dislike the movie because it's "woke"; congrats, you failed to understand that the whole series has always been "woke" from the start. Your prize is this dunce cap. Enjoy.… Expand

A message that may be a hard pill to swallow as it demands reaction - either You ignore it or acknowledge and take responsibility for the problems that are shown straightforward. Acting is top-notch and sounds along with narrative layer, again having a good dose of auto irony and humor. You may have a different feeling and opinion about the movie, but I am sure that within the time it will only get more and more respect and understanding.

POW! CRACK! SWISH! BOOM! DEJA VU! IMPEDING DOOM!

18 yrs have passed in the "our" world since Revolutions, 60 yrs in the Matrix "real" world, & "The Matrix" franchise as we knew it has been cleverly turned into a video game series.

Trivial video games, coded & created by none other than, our high-flying digital superhero, Neo "The One", who is once again his Matrix friendly "Thomas Anderson". Blue-pilled & despondent, coding his faint memories into even more controlled actions via a game controller.

It is utterly depressing. Defeating. Bitter disillusionment. As Agent Smith (Anderson's new business partner) would say, "It is inevitable."

But within the Matrix, reoccurring paths are taken & those faint memories are slowly reawoken with the help from new character "Bugs" & a "Thomas Anderson" digitized memory of Morpheus.

Soon after, Thomas (Neo) & Tiffany (Trinity) are reunited, rescued & released from the Matrix human copper-top pods & suddenly the Matrix is not just another video game.

The fight for freedom once again is set in motion between our human heroes & Matrix bots. And in dire need & perfect prophecy, Trinity harnesses the power of the Matrix to fly, saving them from free fall & inevitable death.

Triumph ensues for our beloved couple because in the end, & in the beginning of it all, through the complex codings & philosophy, religious undertones & flying bullets, love is the overarching theme of "The Matrix".

Love is what binds, breaks & bonds us all. Love is a belief in one another - a thought, a memory, a feeling, & conquers all. And with the two of them together, they are fully formed, complete, & unstoppable. Together they are, "The One."

As the evocative end quote states, "Love is the genesis of everything."… Expand

There’s plenty ofThe trio of primary characters, Neo (Keanu Reeves), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Morpheus (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II taking the place of Laurence Fishburne) are back, but reality has changed…or are they still in the Matrix? There’s plenty of discussion about their situations, but this franchise is more about visuals and this one delivers. Director Lana Wachowski has masterfully created dazzling worlds and cool effects, all gorgeously framed and lit. Even though the dialogue sometimes drags, the performances are engaging. To top it off are the incredible action scenes; wild fights and insane stunts, all with breathless editing. Fans will appreciate the continual showdown between the realities, but everyone can enjoy the cinematic eye candy. As a result, it really needs to be seen on the big screen for full effect. NOTE: Watch thru the credits for the only really funny moment.… Expand

You won't enjoy it much. But if you're up on the original trilogy, its storylines, its philosophies then you'll see so many enjoyable things. But you have to be UP on everything.

It feels almost in a way like a reboot with a modern-day spin to it. It feels more light-hearted, especially with Neil Patrick-Harris' character. I definitely want to give it a second watch.

However, I think if you're a "woke"-hating, older conservative you should probably give this movie a pass because it will trigger you with things like females taking leadership roles that classically belonged to men as well as youth-centric culture and lingo. If you cringe at terms like "lol", aren't interested in things like video games or the inclusion of minorities then you should probably do yourself a favor and pretend like this movie never happened because you will very likely get upset from watching this.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The bad reviews here are from people stuck in their own Matrix in their own head. It’s actually genius how this film used the opportunity of yet-another-fricking-Hollywood-sequel to comment on WHY those things are happening, why these things make the money, why our modern culture builds these echo chambers that trap us in our own comforting illusions. Sadly, despite the film trying it’s best to do all this within a clever re-imagining of an upgraded Matrix world, it seems many people are just not able to get it at all. Instead they get straight back to being outraged in their own little matrix of socials like Metacritic. Well done, Wachowski and crew! You had a seemingly impossible mission and you did a great job. You even explicitly spelled out what you were doing in the film and still folks are missing it. Which just proves your point.… Expand

My problem is that the movie wanted "too much to tell", so you get the feeling that things are happening too fast. It is obvious that it needed to split to another 3 sequels instead of just one.

The other problem is that the action scenes are downgraded compared to the former movies, and yes, the characters of Morpheus and Mr. Smith aren't hit that hard as before (bad actor choices).

But regardless of these, this movie is just as unique as the former Matrix movies. I'm unable to grasp all these negative reviews. Maybe the problem is that this movie requires you to think a little bit more, which seems to be impossible for most of the people.… Expand

And it obscures some of its better commentary in smatterings of techno-babble. Nevertheless, it offers up a number of excellent twists on the theme, including one big one that would have been excellent to see in the first film. Perhaps the world wasn't ready back then for action films with big ideas. Regardless, it is now and this Matrix tries and often succeeds in delivering an action-thriller which cares as much about its ideas as its set pieces and fight sequences. And, if some of its bolder messages -- like questioning the necessity and value of neverending war -- are an awkward fit for a film that revels in so many explosions, it pokes enough fun at itself (and the Matrix universe in general) to get away with it. Audience disagreement could be seen as part of the overall joke; as in, "Did you really choose to like or dislike the Matrix, or was that just your programming?"… Expand

Matrix 4Matrix resurrections had to walk a fine line to deliver something special. It had to create something distilled and essential, while large in scope. While Matrix 2 & 3 couldn't accomplish this, Matrix 4 does it effortlessly .

Matrix 4 manages to inject a fresh eyed view of the universe and put the focus back on the relationship between Neo and Trinity. I think the only issues with the movie is the beginning. The lighting on Keanu and Carrie-Anne when they meet lacks dimension, almost like a soap opera on tv. Given the opportunity the director has here to show the meetup of an iconic pairing, I think this subconsciously feels disappointing, but it’s only a few scenes in the beginning. Also, movie clips from the first movies are shown, multiple times. This does not feel great, it’s very self aware and almost feels cheap a few times. But none of those are major roadblocks.

Matrix 4 succeeds in sucking you back in, making you actually care about the universe it created. 2 and 3 felt drawn out, but 4 is unique, exciting, fresh, and bold. It crafts a script that explains the details of the first 3, answering what happened in our time away and what that means. And it does it while making a great movie.… Expand

The Watchowskis did not expect their Matrix to become a cultural phenomenon. As such, both of its sequels fell into the usual trap of topping itself. They both failed miserably. This time around, Lana sans her sister attempt to provide a follow up, serving their exact sensibility and commentary to today's audiences. The result is a divisive response. Where are all the old casts? Where are the so called bullet time level innovations? Guess what folks. There is none of that here. The action sequences are surprisingly very lukewarm. There is no attempt to top the previous efforts. Even Watchowsky in a meta way commented about it. Yet, what we cannot deny is that this is a labor of love for all involved, and seeing Reeves and Anne-Moss back again, and the surprising and heart felt storyline is worth the price of admission for old fans like me. The original Matrix is more like a thriller, and when this Matrix is in that mode, it delivers that suspense. So to summarize, it is better than the previous two efforts but is not the original, which is a 'one in a million' kind of film.… Expand

Why the movie's start is "weird" is explained later on and makes sense within the movie's world. The story continuation makes sense, evolves the world and the characters. The visuals are absolutely top-notch. Don't let people tell you they are not, while they keep watching the umpteenth mediocre marvel movie. The action is great too. And, most importantly, this movie is about emotion and connection, and as a day-one matrix fan, this movie certainly clicked for me in that regard. Sure, there are some silly things I would change, but I'm not going to assume everyone make their movies how I personally want them.
This leads to one of the key problems with many sequels these days. You have hardcore fans, and time. Everyone has their own theory of how this should have been continued, if at all. Personally, I was in luck, as the movie did almost exactly what I had imagined it would need to do and so the story made sense for me. This is a solid 8 from me.… Expand

Good overall. Different tone at times and style to the action than the first movies. Glad they made it.

Another return to another long-dormant franchise. In this one, we see Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) having returned to a normal life and living blissfully unaware within the Matrix as a top-dog video game developer based off of his experiences from the previous films, only to find himself being pulled back into reality to further face his destiny as Neo, as well as past threats and familiar faces, including Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss). I think I speak for just about every fan of the incredible and game-changing first film when I say that both 'Reloaded' and 'Revolutions' left so much to be desired in terms of overall execution, as well as building upon the first and all of the mind-blowing and innovative things it ushered in for the action and sci-fi genres when it was first released back in 1999. So it goes without saying that I approached this new one that's released 18 years after 'Revolutions' with hopeful caution. If it could at least top the last two films for me, then my expectations would be glady met and satisfied, and I'm happy to report that that's exactly the case here with this film! Director Lana Wachowski seemingly knew how difficult of a task it'd be to try and live up to the already perfect first film, and so instead, we're graced with a film here that embraces and celebrates all of the best aspects of it, such as the stunning action choreography and sequences, with just the right amount of nostalgia sprinkled throughout. The action here is as top-notch and entertaining as almost everything we saw in the first film! Furthermore, the inept Jesus/messiah symbolism surrounding Neo is completely done away with that really bogged down the last two installments. Reeves is also in top form here, giving us some of Neo's most epic and even humanistic moments as well. Carrie-Anne Moss is also a welcome return here and stands out in several moments throughout as well! The film even finds room to cleverly poke fun at itself and the franchise's past, becoming very meta in some scenes, especially towards the beginning. Granted, there are some pacing issues here and there, along with a slightly excessive amount of exposition, but all of this is greatly overshadowed by a very ambitious and for the most part expertly-crafted new addition to the franchise that none of us knew was coming or needed for the longest time. Overall, I found it to be a very worthy and greatly entertaining installment that was able to right the wrongs of so many things about the last two films, and is easily what I'd consider to be the next best film in the franchise behind the ever-so-classic and amazing first film!… Expand

No way to rate this film for everyone. Many fans of old Matrix will feel let down. It's very surreal, not a crowd-pleaser. It's more about female agency than male agency.

It's more about female agency than male agency. Lots of males will hate that. Matrix 4 was a thankless task from the beginning, as Lana W. has said and has Thomas Anderson say in the film. Two other films may help the confused relate to this Matrix reboot better. One is Charlie Kaufman's Adaptation (2002) where breaking the fourth wall between fiction and the viewer's expectations is much of the foreground of the narrative, spectacularly in the third act. The other is Johnathan Mostow's Terminator 3 (2003) where another director publicly lamented his task: following up and improving on Terminator 2. In this context of movies about making movies, I liked Matrix 4 better than I thought I would. I appreciated Reeves' understated presence. I liked teh moments of clarity and insight framing the issue of sheeple-followers vs. independent and critical thinking (waking up). What might have improved this and made it more coherent is more awareness of and attention to two memes: Healthy democratic socialism as alternative to corporate consumerism neo-feudalism; and, Cultural Creative/Divine Feminine rhetoric. Both these themes haunt the fringes of the film as these really are the likely ways forward culturally and for which new leaders are needed.… Expand

But the story picks up in an ingenious way where the third film ended. Several previous characters reappear, albeit some in new forms. A few new characters are deftly added to the mix. The latest (last?) film honors the previous ones, while advancing the story line in new and effective ways. Highly recommended!… Expand

Cynical, yet very personal dive into Matrix. Lana goes far beyord fanservice expectaction and bravely create something new with clever meta content surpassing both Reloaded and Revolutions in terms of telling important things about out reality.

I wasn't expecting much from this but I was genuinely surprised. The story feels a lot smaller. It's laser focused on the relationship between Trinity and Neo and that, in my opinion, is a good thing.

It would have been impossible to make a film like this and please the people who hated Reloaded and Revolutions, so Wachowski channels the massive weight of twenty years of discourse into her narrative in a 'meta' form which is at times overbearing but never boring.… Expand

Uma continuação digna pro que foi estabelecido no 2 e 3. Eu estava ansioso para ver como iam dar upgrade nos conceitos tech do filme com nossa tecnologia e conexão atual. Tem autocrítica, ironia, lutas, BULLET TIME e a base da trilogia: o amor.

Resurrections is a fantastic return to the world of the Matrix. It's thoroughly entertaining, extremely thoughtful, and visually stunning. It serves as both a remake, a sequel, and another ending.

In comparison to the enormous deception that were movies 2 and mostly 3, I really appreciated this "resurrection". The sense and writing were clearly superior. Also, for me, this new film had a lot of symbolic resonance (Resonance: that makes sense to me; Symbolic: or metaphor). I like it.

I presume our memory of The Matrix (I) stops a lot of people from just letting themselves be immersed and appreciate a different chapter and take on the story. Is it not also a sign that we have become so spoiled and saturated that we cannot appreciate decent (but not great) movies and give them horrible scores?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Uneccessary but not that bad but infact it was entertaining, As a strict original matrix fan it will piss most but for fun time with little similar concept and little parody it was amazing considering 2 and 3 was little dissappointment, The trilogy was completed but the further expansion of story with the little changes was done nicely, The whole story of aftermath of stopping robots and the matrix destruction turns out the neo and trinity being alive/resurected and the whole neo's game designer journey and similar feel start to original the truth seeking and then the whole real life world stuff with "IO" it made sense, The group and captain was decent and the starting intro the morpheous as an agent felt little "WTF" Then the matrix in and out mission of group and real world quest to find neo where the neo living as tom the game dev the whole office stuff was literally fun the self parody of matrix trilogy but as a game the complaints about sequels and not more orignal content now a days and the "WB" invovelment as head that wants the sequel it was cleverly awesome and fun, The smith as boss and the whole simulation world the old playbacks of trilogy here and there and the 1st act was like 1st movie but with funny elements, the neo's struggle to find whats real and fake then the waking in real world and the whole story filling in with the new mission to awake trinity the theme of how people are love to be in matrial world it was just brilliant and then the neo's trinity meeting invaded by the real culprit the therapist his time slow talk it was awesome and then the sati's plan to rescue trinity the whole ending fight surrounded by people was amazing and then therapist killed by smith was just shocking then the whole zombie like fight summoned by smith defeated by Trinity with powers it was good then neo and trinity reunite in real world after that The final meet with therapist to change the world and the casual teasing kills of therapist in simulation was awesome and ending with neo and trinity flying it was decent end, Overall it was entertaining and like the mixture of trilogy where starting part was like 1st one and rest of it like 2 and 3. It can be avoidable as its dissapointment for hardcore matrix follower but for casual watch its good,Its a fun and decent movie!… Expand
