The Matrix Resurrections

shemdani shared a tip "As a Matrix fan, I was a bit nervous about reboot. Reboots are generally messy and fail to deliver but boy this is awesome 🙌. The plot, the way to get things back rolling, character building etc etc. just AWESOME! 5 ⭐️s"

2gmiguel shared a tip "Felt more like just a walk down memory lane to cater to people's nostalgia rather than someone actually coming up with a brilliant idea to justify making a 4th movie. But the story itself was passable and actually not that bad. The new characters were ok. I think the final act could have been extended a little more."

joslyn shared a tip "What a very meta ride. The criticisms you’ll hear are valid, however, I’d recommend you watch with little going in and enjoy the fun. Like the other movies, it’s a #romance at its core, with some action and sci fi mixed in 😉"

chad_cooper shared a tip "At times, interesting. Some fun action sequences. Acting is spotty. The story feels rushed, even at a long runtime… (undeveloped might be the better criticism). Worth a watch if you’re in the mood for a fairly typical action flick. But overall, disappointing from a storyline standpoint."

jax89 shared a tip "Oh great Lana Wachowski thank you for this sweet, hilarious, melancholic, deeply romantic (in every definition of the word), meta rabbit hole. This feels more like a successor to Cloud Atlas and Sense8. This might be the best movie in the Wachowski-verse."

ecstasyleech shared a tip "Not bad, but I miss the old Morpheus. Cowboy Curtis was the best one. At first I really wasn’t into the storyline but it got better and made more sense. 7/10"

ryan_b_3056 shared a tip "**NO SPOILERS** I came into this w/ tempered expectations bc I’ve been underwhelmed by the Wachowskis’ recent work. I really enjoyed it. The setup was unique and the intrigue of the narrative carried the movie throughout. That said, the action elements had a “been there and done that” feel and it relies a lot on call backs, so you’ll need to have watched the first 3 films to fully understand everyone’s motivations. I’d say it was the best Matrix since the original and I’d give it an 8/10."

despondent_hull shared a tip "If you're a hard sci-fi fan who holds the first Matrix film high, this film will feel uncomfortable at best and a bit silly at moments. If you're a soft sci-fi fan who just wants to see some new shiney, this may be a better fit. For everyone else, this is a mixed bag that can't change your mind about sci-fi. Lana Wachowski gives us the full Sense 8 treatment in this film, adding a layer of self reference and slathering on nostalgia to a bubblegum action story. It's fun—and shallow. YMMV."

hendrik_pape shared a tip "This series lost a bit of its flare after the first one and I cringed when I heard it was coming back for another kick at the can. Finally gave in and watched it on a recent flight and not only did it kill off 2.5 hours of the flight I actually enjoyed it almost as much as the original. Plenty of action and romance this one gets a thumbs up from me!"

stewart_jackson_9725 shared a tip "VERY Disappointed. Has NOTHING to do with the other Matrix movies, plus constantly shifting back on forth, one loses interest quickly. A real yawn of a film."

blake_8747 shared a tip "Just terrible! The movie tries to be a commentary on remakes, but it just fails spectacularly. It almost feels like Lana Watchowski didn't even want to make this film. It also didn't help that fishburne and Weaving weren't there. It would have been better if their characters were written off instead kf relating them because it just comes off as jarring when you see the actual film. This is one of those films that isn't even so bad it's good. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!"

jrm shared a tip "4/10. The franchise continues to decline. Like Star Wars in Disney's machine without Lucas, the Matrix 4 was written by a non-Wachowski. It is a big budget train wreck of "Matrix cliches". Originality is absent, instead "resurrecting" wire cable fights, slow motion bullet sequences (way too many), etc, etc. This film should have been called "The Matrix Unwatchable". It is far too complicated a plot line to follow for such a bad experience. The wire work and makeup are horrible, especially Niobe's"

ibetheshooter shared a tip "Well that was Hella-META .. and I enjoyed cause I was totally in on it. I also totally understand why they did it however I definitely could have done without the "entanglement" aspect. #MoreMorpheus"

SupremeAnu shared a tip "Interesting concepts, bad execution. Overall, this entry was unnecessary. The movie gets very meta in the first 20 minutes and says as much itself. Without spoilers, the addition of two characters without their original actors was wholly unnecessary. The new characters are interesting enough and they could've spent more time fleshing them out. I just feel like everything wasn't very well thought out. I ended up having more questions, but ultimately wouldn't be willing to see another movie to answer them. Decent movie overall, bad Matrix movie. It's better than Revelations, but worse than the original. Also, there's a lack of stylized actions scenes that the Matrix is known for. The action in these movies used to be on par with anime 😂 literally, what happened?"

robert_wasson shared a tip "thoroughly enjoyed this. super meta. not quite the dense philosophical minefield of the last two. kind hope they do more as long as they can fold in a new generation and find new stories"

s_hwang shared a tip "I want to start this by saying I loved this movie. It was such a beautiful story of true love between the main characters, and yet it did not feel cheesy or did not fall flat, it felt like it had weight, a purpose. The action scenes and special effects were amazing, and though I agree it was a bit messy, there was no down time. Especially loved the addition of the character of Bugs. The tone was drastically too different from the other movies also, it felt a little too polished and lost its style. Still worth a watch."

sheli_keyes shared a tip "Ignoring those who received this movie negatively, it stayed true to its beginnings and I look forward to more. Watching Keanu in any way is always a treat!"

franco_cefalu shared a tip "Felt it was a better sequel than Reloaded and Revolutions. Would be cool to see if there is room for story continuation in the future if possible. Nice to see Carrie-Ann Moss and Keanu Reeves playing their characters again. 7/10 #opinionbased"

crazylikeafox11 shared a tip "Neo still knows Kung Fu. Pretty fun once it got past the whole, "warner brothers was going to do this with or without the original creators so here we are, revisiting the matrix" meta thing."

koroegf shared a tip "I can definitely see no one in any of the offices wanting another Matrix but Warner Bros just NEEDED to get another one out. At least they made it good."

walter_croft shared a tip "Good flick for closure on the ending of Matrix Revolutions, but left much to be desired...remix of Rage Against the Machine included."

mdotm shared a tip "The matrix should have stayed a trilogy 🤦🏻‍♀️ aside from the action scenes this movie was not it for me. The only good & classic matrix was the first one."

goatPush shared a tip "Hello, I'm here to say that the moment Keanu Reeves did the "I'm an old man, but let me give flying a shot" move (if you've seen, you know) I was absolutely tickled."

Antonio757 shared a tip "C+ | I’d say it was just “okay”. There was no need to restart the franchise except that I think the studio and Lana Wachowski saw an opportunity to jump on the fan bandwagon of Keanu Reeves’ popularity (Don’t get me wrong, I love the dude. But after the first one, the Matrix Universe has never meant a lot to me.) Nothing new came out of this film. No astonishing revelations. Just more of the same. I would even say even LESS deeper meaning was left out in the storytelling. IMHO forgettable."

giovaughn_hill shared a tip "As a huge matrix fan, idk how to feel about this one. The concepts and ideas presented are matrix level quality, but the execution, and certain elements bring the movie down. This film felt like either just set up for more films and media, or multiple films crammed into one. If there is a 5th film, I hope Lana tightens up the writing."

rain_333 shared a tip "it was good but i wish there was more of a climax to the story, rather than it just being fighting and action the entire time, i also feel the ending was rushed but it was okay"

christina_belanger_5839 shared a tip "It was enjoyable but my least favorite out of the series. Too much focus on their love story, wanted to see more machine/human action."

inna_siegel shared a tip "Finally, the trilogy explained... And the same quality entertainment continues. Was awesome to have almost the same original cast 5 ⭐ rating"

gabriella_forrester shared a tip "Spends so much time on "meta" elements that it loses momentum. Cheesy for reliving the glory days of the trilogy. I didn't finish it."
