This is more of a story than action. It happens after the end of the third movie and how the characters were tricked into complacency by the computers and how they realize it.
The Matrix has changed the game again. Action on a grand scale, with a solid script and top performances from all. Simply marvelous.
It's the best.
I was blown away by the latest chapter in the Matrix franchise! Obviously, it wouldn't make any sense without the previous films and the Animatrix but I really loved where they took it - very meta! For anyone who is a Matrix fan, I would definitely recommend Resurrections!
The year's best sequel. Welcome back, Neo!
Not worth seeing at all...zzzzzzz.
I WISH I WOULD HAVE WATCHED THE PREVIOUS MOVIES AGAIN SINCE IT WAS HARD TO REMEMBER HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT FOR THIS MOVIE! SHOW WAS VERY DULL FOR THE FIRST HOUR OR SO BUT PICKED UP THE PACE LATER ON! TOO MUCH KUNG FU FIGHTING FOR ME! THE ONLY SAVING GRACE FOR THIS MOVIE IS WHEN THEY WERE IN THE ALIEN BOT WORLD TRYING TO SAVE KEANU REEVES! SUPER SPECIAL EFFECTS BUT THE MOVIE WAS TOO LONG AND COMPLEX!
As Keanu said, this sequel has a very good "why". It's a sophisticated film with amazing effects, excellent acting, clever dialog, and hidden references. Even the layering of the film and the way that its pace changes makes you think about reality and what is real. It helps if you've seen the previous films though.
This movie made me realize what they don't want us to do, and that is to grow your own food, buy your own land, stay away from the noise of propaganda. Its the last thing they want, they want civil war, want chaos. I just want my own animals, vegetable, fruits and peace and quiet.
No new ground here. The magic of the first is lacking. Definitely not worth a ticket price. A renter, maybe...
