Review of The Matrix Resurrections (2021) by Realmaier — 23 Dec 2021

I'm very disappointed. From a fans perspective, the movie is insulting. Not because it tries something new, some ideas aren't even that bad and in the first 15 minutes of the movie I had a bit of hope.

But everything execution wise is mediocre at best. Action scenes aren't edited well, you never really know what's going on, there's no sense of a well done choreography here. The superhuman fighting scenes in dark, gritty, rainy places had a whole lot of swag in the first movie.

This movie completely lacks that atmosphere. It looks like some weaker netflix production. The acting isn't something to write home about, sometimes even ridiculous. The merovingian carried the second movie, in this movie they made an unfunny joke of this character.

Many scenes are just comical, but involuntarily. Music? Meh. New characters? Completely forgettable. And the biggest irony is that 4th wall break in the beginning of the movie, which is a brazen move given what they delivered us with this movie.

Don't spend money on this, you're going to be disappointed. Just wait a few months, stream it and be disappointed then.
