better than 2 and 3, admit it

I made it about 45 minutes in

i actively hate this piece of shit movie, but only because i'm such a matrix fanboy

too bad this unique and cute character was completely wasted in a dumbass movie that was about long-dead characters from far better movies.

That's the best part of the movie

THANK YOU. Finally someone says it. Resurrections is absolutely the best since the original. Erendira Ibarra is so hot I wish she had more screen time. I still haven't seen Animatrix so can't rate that but for me

Matrix > Resurrections > Revolutions > Reloaded

>>212046698
you will always be a low-energy retard

i want someone who likes both the originals and resurrections to defend the absolute dogshit cinematography and general tone of resurrections.

the trilogy is kino. idk what is with this new forced meme pretending otherwise, but it's gay

>neo is such a geriatric he's reduced to doing force push gestures for most of the movie
it's such a sadness, it also really drives home how much care and effort they put into this

So he never bothered to realize that you don't give a shit about facts. It's all about fiction. The only world that matters is the one in here. And you people believe the craziest shit. Why? What validates and makes your fictions real? Feelings. You ever wonder why you have nightmares? Why your own brain tortures you? It's actually us, maximizing your output. It works just like this. Oh, no! Can you stop the bullet? If only you could move faster. Here's the thing about feelings. They're so much easier to control than facts. Turns out, in my Matrix, the worse we treat you, the more we manipulate you, the more energy you produce. It's nuts. I've been setting productivity records every year since I took over. And, the best part, zero resistance. People stay in their pods, happier than pigs in shit. The key to it all? You. And her. Quietly yearning for what you don't have, while dreading losing what you do. For 99.9% of your race, that is the definition of reality. Desire and fear, baby. Just give the people what they want, right? She's the only home you have, Thomas. You should. It was a victory. Bravo. Now what? You've come here to negotiate some kind of deal? You think you hold all the cards, because you can do whatever you want in this world. I say, go for it. Remake it. Knock yourselves out. Paint the sky with rainbows. But here's the thing. The sheeple aren't going anywhere. They like my world. They don't want this sentimentality. They don't want freedom or empowerment. They want to be controlled. They crave the comfort of certainty. And that means you two, back in your pods, unconscious and alone, just like them. Face reality, people. Movies are dead. Games are dead. Narrative? Dead. Media is nothing but neuro-trigger response and viral conditioning. Wait, what are you two talking about? Cat videos. What we need is a series of videos that we call "The Catrix."

this thing was such garbage I'm thankful every day I didn't went to theaters to see it

>explain why it's good

You don't have to "explain" why a film is great or not. I will say the fight scenes in Resurrections are probably the worst of the films but the overall story, binary game dev arc, general themes railing against remakes/demakes/cycling content and the character changes mirroring the actor changes with Agent Smith+Morpheus made it mad fun. I still like all the films but Reloaded is the one that firmly belongs in 4th place. So much potential wasted with dumb characters like the ghost twins and the Architect

>>212046506 (OP)
Not a high bar considering 2 and 3 were overrated garbage

It’s such a meme movie, it’s great.
They actully named him Chad
Chad: Tiffany. Tiffany, you have to come with us. Tiffany!
Trinity: I wish you would fucking stop calling me that. I hate that name.

> The packet in front of you has our focus group research. Inside you'll find the breakdown, including key word association with the brand, the top two being "originality" and "fresh", which I think are great things to keep in mind as you begin working on Matrix 4... and who knows how many more?

>>212046992
> Everything was simpler back then. People wanted to be free. It's different now. Sometimes it feels like people gave up. Like the Matrix won.
Protip, she was talking to us vs 1990s us

>>212047055
Why use old code to make something new?

>>212046506 (OP)
The Matrix itself having to be reinvented as a post-modern farce to keep quasi-aware people plugged in is an incredible idea and the meta-narrative commentary around commodification and production by committee is well executed but the movie is still a big piece of shit with really poor action.

Shame, it was almost there.

2 > 1 > 3 > 4

>>212047037
i'm not hostile to the 3rd movie like some, i think it's just weaker than Reloaded. Reloaded has tremendous well-documented effort behind it, including a deliberate effort to remain practical when possible. Whereas Revolutions has a lot more pure CGI which is hard to be enthusiastic about. the whole movie feels very padded, and the important stuff is not enough material to justify a 3rd movie. ultimately it was a commercial decision to turn it into a trilogy.

as for Resurrections, eh... Matrix has never been about deconstruction. the films lean into their settings and their plots, they are authentic dramas. Resurrections is the snear, we have enough evidence, from the WB snub in that dialogue with Groff to the neon sign with the derisive message, that it's meant to dunk on WB and their hopes for another cash cow in the form of a soulless Matrix sequel. I'm still perplexed that they let it get made with that scene mocking WB. WB execs presumably sat through that. why did they greenlight it? it's SO weird.

Neil Patrick Harris was so good in Resurrections. Seriously knocked it out of the park

>>212047037
I think they should have had Merovingian in new Smiths place, a holdover from the previous matrix versions forced to monitor neo. Though seeing him as a seething hobo was funny. Morpheus 2 was ok, but they could have elaborated more on pro-redpill machines.

Modern WB execs are not known for their self awareness or foresight

Someone just dilated, lol.

I heard they saved money by filming this scene in the sisters basement, they already had all the gear

1 > 2 > 3 > 4 trvth
2 > 1 > 3 > 4 production merits

>>212046506 (OP)
Its not just worse than 2 and 3, its also the worst movie of all time.

>>212046506 (OP)
Matrix is only the first movie. The story begins and end there. No need for the rest.
Reloaded is bad bt ha some good action scenese (highway)
Revolution was crap
Resurrection doesn't exist lmao

>>212046506 (OP)
This movie made me transgenic, and that's a good thing
