Review of The Matrix Resurrections (2021) by Theg33K — 26 Dec 2021
The heart of the story was pretty good, if they didn't ruin the movie with 30 minutes of cringy meta bs it could have been serviceable. Morpheus and Smith characters are totally underwhelming, Neo's dynamic with the machines and gaslighting was actually pretty good.
It really feels like Lana tried to scuttle the franchise because she didn't want anyone to make more of them. For me, kind of a superfan, I'll not be seeing any sequels to this, and for me there are only Three Matrix movies.
Neo doesn't hold a gun, and he has a fancy force field now, kind of undermining the feel of his powers being the result of him hacking the world. Bugs could have been Morpheus and they could have left Morpheus dead.
Smith didn't have to exist. The meta bs could have been cut and you would have a far better movie.
