Review of The Matrix Resurrections (2021) by Cph127 — 02 Jan 2022

One of the wonderful things in the matrix 1 is the audience are kept in a 'not-knowing position' struggling to find an adequate interpretation of the narratives. In 'resurrection' everything is pretty much a standard movie - it's 'face value' from beginning to end. In the great final scene a 'voice over' narrator is telling you, what is going on while it happens - tryi ng to fit a ‘this is how we are going to rob the bank’ plotting in to the mix. 'Resurrection' introduces an ironic self-disclosure twist trying to make fun of the taoist philosophy the the original one - it gives you an easy laugh but does not bring anything to the table.

Matrix 4 is unfortunately a missed opportunity for us to go deeper into the rabbit hole. - big missed opportunity.
