I really wanted to like this but it was ok at best.
The flashbacks to the previous films got stale quickly, the action and fight scenes were terrible, it was like watching a bad tv show. Made even worse by having the John Wick director playing Chad. Recreating the opening scene from The Matrix but somehow making it worse, set the tone for the rest of the film.
It was great to see Neo and Trinity again but the plot was just a mess.
well it is supposed to be bad on purpose,
that's the point. that's why it exists. it's awful on purpose.
the bad diogue, the bad action. the cheesy ending. all on purpose.
it isn't a real sequel or a real movie. it was never meant to be serious. the movie tells you that repeatedly.
this movie is a director telling the audience, the studio and the fans of the matrix to stop asking for sequels and reboots.
this movie is criticizing movies like terminator dark fate and force awakens.
it is literally telling us to stop watching sequels and reboots. it might as well have had the director yelling "STOP CONSUMING TRASH SEQUELS"
the awful terrible action is a critique on modern action movies like marvel. the awful horrible shaky cam and awful awful cgi and bullet time are mocking all the movies that copied matrix 1. It mocks big blockbusters.
this movie is closer to scary movie or THE PRODUCERS
think of Lana the director as the characters from The Producers. (making the worst possible sequel on purpose)
I understand all of this. I get it. I get the message. yeah I get it. I get that terminator and star wars and marvel are soulless crash grabs
and I didn't enjoy it even though I get it. so, mission accomplished? I will never war h it again. the acting is awful. I did not enjoy it.
the funniest thing is that the movie is flopping and failing against big budget cash grab spiderman and sing 2, and that was supposed to literally happen lol
going against spiderman (which has all the problems that this movie mocks) is the most hilarious thing that could have happened.
