Review of The Matrix Resurrections (2021) by Madagreement — 22 Dec 2021

It's really hard to give a clear review on that movie. Sure I was happy to get back to the matrix but honestly, for the past 10 years, what outstanding movies the Washowski's did ? None.

I was affraid to see an LGBTQ+ propaganda or some PC **** and it was not not the case, so at least one good point (even though you could argue that there is a lot of implied messages about the transcandance of the gender through the machines etc...).

My main problem is the film in itself. It feels "odd" or "out of place". I did not believe a single second in the new Matrix update that is now Yellowish. I thought it was too warm for me. But also Keanu... what a useless dumb f in is Avatar form. It looks like the director asked him to play the Keanu Reeves from the Cyberpunk 2077 E3 presentation in 2019 ! Back bent, clumsy and always with this agape face... What a disappointment. Also the movie is pretty predictible and the plot is... How to say it... Kind of "meh". Sure there are some interesting shots but, not much more. Also I realised when the movie ended that Neo NEVER EVER Touched a single gun... I don't know if they are trying to differ John Wick from The Matrix but for me it's a shame.

Overall I did not have high expectations but it's far from good even if not catastrophic. I'll just re watch the masterpiece from 1999 that had in my opinion far better VFX in terms of creativity and grittyness.
