5 minutes into this movie all I hear in my head is Peter Griffin saying: _this already doesn’t make sense._ 😂

So much of this movie felt radically under explained or maybe explained so quickly that it didnt stick, or worse explained and make zero sense.

I thought the idea of neo living in the matrix after everything and suffering from depression and not being able to tell what is real and fake in his life now would have made for a great movie plot just on its own nothing else needed

It felt like it was full of matrix ideas but literally turned them all into a joke instead of taking them seriously, felt super weird like a fan fic or a what if scenario. I would’ve enjoyed it except for the expectations WB set up with the trailers (and all the precedent in tone from the original)

in the scene where smith talks to neo about making matrix 4 and he said the mother company warner brothers are gonna make it whether with the old crew or not, it felt like lana was trying to tell us that WB forced her into making that new movie and that hollywood is really out of ideas and content and they are making stupid descisions.

The idea that Trinity is resurrected in the Rebooted Matrix and now an Anomaly and co "The One" is a ridiculous story. Now the Agents are going to say "The 2 love bird anomalies, but they're still only human". No wonder the real Morpheus and Smith probably said "I'm staying away from this version, it's getting really silly". Next will probably be Neo and Trinity's Wedding in Matrix 5. 1 Star rating for me.

Because both Neo and Trinity died at the end of the trilogy, Resurrections needed to open showing more of their resurrection by the machines. Similarly, a more fleshed-out depiction of the 'Machine civil war' that happened between Revolutions and Resurrections would have added the much-needed context that the current film was so obviously lacking. Not having more of the original actors or its original darker cyberpunk feel to instead replace it with a campy atmosphere throughout, led to that feeling we're all having over what was a landmark example of film making turned corporate mess, the very thing the original film stood against. Heard there's a sequel. Maybe we’ll eventually discover the entire Resurrections film was just another one of Neo’s dreams from safe within his pod. That would explain the dream-like campy theme to Resurrections and allow the next film to play out much more like the trilogy. One can only hope. “It was all a dream.”

Loved how there were cut scenes from the original trilogy.

The thing that kind of bothers me is that they could completely cut out the Io and Niobe scenes and have it not affect the story at all. We can learn about the machine allies another way. Having Niobe be a wet blanket at first and then immediately reverse herself to fight the Analyst makes no sense at all.

it cost him so much because he needed to use energy that is scarce, not money

1. I hated that the new Smith called Neo Mr. Anderson only twice and the rest of the movie Tom. 2. Laurence Fishburne should have been in this movie as Morpheus. 3. When you mix action with extremely predictable, that makes it boring. 4. Where is the golden code? 5. Making anyone an agent was a mistake... I like it when the matrix took a human battery and morph it into an agent dressed in a black suit and dark sunglasses. 6. Where is the back story for Merovingian, and why did he just leave as if he became bored with the whole situation. 7. Not having the green hue that we like and recognized when in the Matrix was another big mistake. 8. Another big mistake is making Trinity the same as Neo, ergo "The One" which now makes it *The Two* 😡 9. Having the new version of agent Smith become the hero was just ridiculous!

Matrix confuses the hell out of me

This movie could’ve been saved had Neo been teleported in the middle of the Spiderman No Way Home where the three Spiderman meet together. Also they could’ve included the Mandalorian and dea agent Steve Murphy just to add the Star Wars and Narcos fans. And Hugo weaving Agent Smith appeared as one of the villains in the finale conflict itself.

Thank you for explaining this mess.

"Trinity is the one" All I needed to hear. Maybe this would have been shocking 5 years ago..but all franchises are now playing up this trope. Whatever.

Between the confusion/exposition and the laughably bad action scenes, the 4th Matrix may have sucked harder than anything I've ever seen. It's almost impressive.

Close but separate? Sounds like Hancock. Lol

Wasn't clear on what happens with Smith in the end. Is he going to stay out of the way of neo and trinity to rebuild, or is this a setup for smith to be the main antagonist in a possible sequel?

Seems to me that the entire thing happened in the matrix including the 'earth' scenes and the ending. It was mentioned that there were many simulations, no other humans around trinity and neo and the other people are call 'bots' (NPCs). Morpheus first met Neo while walking out of the bathroom (seems like an insult the machines would do). Both Neo and Trinity were strangely un-guarded.... I think Neo is still trapped and it's a lot easier to keep him there if he thinks he's already escaped. Also Morpheus was shown exercising.. why would he need to do that?

People are shitting on this movie a little too hard in my opinion. The themes and the social commentary of this film are pretty epic when you start diving into it. Its almost too dense or packed of it. They tackle depression, anxiety, suicide, recovery, being manipulated by media and fake news, algorithmic media and consumerism that enslaves us online, social media and avatars, the Hollywood machine, the hypocrisy of nostalgic sequels and reboots, adam and eve, detrimental impacts of technology on our lives, and many aspects of the human condition including the whole longing for our desires while fearing of losing our securities, plus the whole classic matrix reality vs dream world debate. Im leaving a lot of other themes, etc out as well.The underlying messages and philosophical references are easily just as good as the ones from the first trilogy and actually compliment the original trilogy's themes and social commentary quite well (any die hard Matrix fan knows these movies are all about and built upon hidden themes and social commentary). This is a movie that is going to resonate with people as time goes on and more analysis is done on it. That said, the movie itself still needs to be good, so I can understand why people are disappointed with the basic/surface story line as it is a little bit disappointing. I agree that they went a little heavy on the humor and references, also I think they did Smith pretty dirty.. seeing Smith sock-less in loafers wearing ray bands did hurt my soul. Again though, everything was done for a purpose. I can understand why people were hoping for something different - Lana Wachowski could have made the tone and everything just like the first movie if she wanted to, but she obviously chose to do something completely different. Regardless, nothing in this film is by accident. Everything has meaning and serves as a point, theme, or message in some way - humor and satire included. I hope people come to appreciate it as Id like to see a follow up; however, I dont expect one.

Sick proper head-spin

Hello, whats up doc?

Hey, you know what, I low-key enjoyed. Yes it’s gonna get picked apart, but you have to expect that when you have to meet the such high standard, it always almost set up for failure just by having to meet the standard level of the previous films, there are some shoddy parts, but also good, personally I didn’t mind it

This movie was unneeded. And it was cool….but doesn’t feel like it’s part of the trilogy at all. More like a stand alone love story.

The cost he meant i assume is referring to computational cost. How much of computational power it took to rebuilt him.

That is the reason why there is a 4th Part (and why it sucks) Here is what Lana said “I needed something to help me with the grief and inventing a story where two people come back to life was healing and comforting and I was non-judgemental, I just wrote it. I didn’t know what I was gonna do with it, but then I read part of the story to that woman right there [pointing to someone off-camera] and she said, ‘Oh my god, you have to tell this story’.”

there is mention of the machines having an economy in "the second renaisance" from the Animatrix

But what made general naiomi change her mind when meeting the brown girl at the well? What was the opportunity besides rescuing trinitiy? A chance to win over the machines?

*The Matrix Confusions* is what this should have been called.

This is what the Oracle meant when she said he wasn't the one.

I enjoyed it. Of coarse ppl are going to pick it apart. But am thankful to be able to see Neo and Trinity again.

This movie was dope. What is the matrix about "bullet time!"

I'm betting that the idea of "swarm mode" must have been inspired by games like Bezerk, Robotron 2084, and Smash T.V..

yes the movie makes sense!!!!!!!! Thank you very much War Lord!!!!!!!!

I wanted to know how agents smith was able to move freely doing bullet time ?

Damn comment sections for this movie are entertaining.

I.O was worried Neo being gone would cause another winless war between machines & humans.. thought that was pretty obvious & explained

it was like made by a fan without any budget, planning or experience

The cost of bringing them back is not in currency... Its power and resources... Because they are scarce. Scarce to the point the machines are fighting each other

Ok so "The Matrix" did happen and he made a game based off of his experience ...he was just put BACK into the Matrix. Is that correct? For some reason i thought they said the Matrix never existed and it was a game the entire time

The analyst built the new matrix to run off of despair Neo and Trinity are going to build it to run it off of hope. Thus creating more power, thats why the analyst wanted them alive.

You are incorrect about Bugs taking Trinity's place until she chooses. Bugs only replaces Trinity after she chooses and all hell breaks loose in a bar fight. I was hoping you could help explain why New Smith intervened in the bar to take down The Analyst and then just disappears. It was a good twist, but the more I think about it, the more confused I become. Basically that's the problem with the whole movie.

Did the machines replaced the architect with the analyst ? Also, I feel there was no need for agent Smith, I wish they would brought back Seroph instead...

I liked it, basically they didn’t want to do it

How can Agent Smith be 2 characters at the same time?

Bro, you need to watch matrix explained...

It's not correct that there was no mention of currency "in the machine world" (which should just be referenced as the real world but ok). The machines in The second Renaissance who built their own nation had currency. They had a hugely successful economy which was in large part why the tensions between them and humans grew quickly. Similarly, the references to "suits" by the Analyst are part of this same pre-face that we have from TSR. The machines had a hierarchy with leaders and ranks as was shown during their negotiations with the UN.

Can you explain how trinity becomes the one? I thought it was just neo as the anomaly. was neo code used to bring trinity to life.

I have a feeling that since the humans now live with AI, AI also live with humans - hence the need for profits.

After all these years of watching all 3... then finally watchin the 4th movie... I still have one question( anybody feel free to explain it to me if I missed it) but in ep3 when they fly over the fields of people in pods... how is it that they can rescue people from the matrix and not be seen by the machines?? It appears in ep3 when neo and trin are flying over the fields that they are right by the source... if that's the case then it appears that that is the worst defended position ever!!????

So from my understanding the ending states that Neo and Trinity are in complete control of The Matrix. Therefore, they can recreate the Matrix in their own image and preferences.

Pretty much over arching theme being, everyone is the One now. Great (Sarcasm).

They need to make the game to as part of the movie

I clicked to get an explanation on why Trinity is suddenly the One not a recap of the movie

There was mention of machine currency...in the Animatrix. It's one of the reasons there was a war. Zero One became its own self sustaining city. And their industrial complex killed human kid currency because their goods and services were better than humankind's And I don't think Trinity is the One. They both are. She was the trigger that created an anomaly within the anomaly himself. Neo was the only incarnation of The Ones that chose love over humanity. I think that has a lot to do with her new powers...being that they cam both fly

Why did Neo’s boss (Smith) help him??

Currency was mentioned in the other films before when the guy trapped neo in limbo and the come to make a deal with him to get him free and he says where people see blah blah I see cost. So it’s to imply the meaning from that to this movie and why the girl keeps suggesting the matrix is about crypto fascism.

"Cost me a lot" doesn't mean money.

Resurrections was the truth at its basic form. As humans we hate change , but change is inevitable. Sometimes life is simple, a joke , a great story etc . That’s what makes it REAL . Like it or not , resurrections paints the world we live in today. I mean the Matrix is literally an adaptive machine . If we all had the right answers to make life better, we would , but sadly not.

Smith has always desired the power to be as free as he possibly can from the constraints of the Matrix. So why in the heck didn't Smith just stick his virus hand in the analyst's chest (like he did to the Oracle) and seize absolute power from the one guy who exclusively operates the current iteration of the Matrix?! I'm baffled.

Maybe I missed something. I thought Morpheus was just posing as an agent. Plus the OTHER guy is Smith. That part of your assessment doesn't make sense at all.

I'm getting some massive adam and eve vibes from this one

I watched it twice already on the first day I think it’s fantastic

What exactly did you explain?

So is it worth watching ? Were you satisfied with the movie ?

The cuts of the video game just distracted me from being able to focus on what was being talked about. I would have preferred just a static image or repeat scenes from the actual movie.

Sooooo convoluted. I really wish this movie wasn’t made

It made perfect sense. I Loved the movie I hope they make part 5

Ne1 else think the action in 1 and 2 surpass this movie?

Wasn't it ion?

So the movie is about freeing Neo and Trinity. But why do they need to do that?

Someone who looks like Trinity, but only 20 lb heavier

Its odd that the first three old episodes are more cinematic than the latest one considering they are decades apart. (unlike star wars movies). overall i felt this movie is just forced because it will generate money. It only degraded the legacy of the trilogy. They could have done better. Reeves should have not accepted this project till they come out with a really good one.

The thing I don’t like about the new matrix movie is how is doesn’t continue off of the third one. And the movie itself just seemed like a cash grab. Them focusing on super powers the whole movie. Huge disappointment

Literally what.

My opinion, Warner Brothers wanted a new cash grab, and the Wachowski's kept refusing them a script for years. Finally, Lilly decided to give them something to make them quit their thugged out bullying. But writing it wasn't good enough. She wrote the most convoluted thing she could think of, even writing in a dig at Warner's expense, with the soul purpose of forcing a box office bomb and making sure people didn't unanimously like it.

So, basically what you're saying is that its garbage and shall be retcon'd from my mind forever.

To better understand what the author's saying, you'd better close your eyes. The video is just random shots from all Matrix movies and even the Matrix UE5 engine demo.

Why

Is John wick neo?

If the machines wanted to make sure that neo and Trinity could never escape the matrix again why would they bring them back to life?

I tired hard to follow the movie but why did agent smith beef with the Analyst

Hold on, they had a robot civil war and that shit was just glossed over like “yeah sure that happened- anyway back to the confusing plot”. A movie where the robots fought and humans were caught in the middle would’ve been the tits!!

After I seen the 2nd matrix movie I was hyped for the 3rd, but after I viewing it, I'd wished they had just ended it with the first movie...this version, strengthens that opinion even more.

Checkout the difference between Source Code vs Object Code. ... It's a programming thing.

The movie in general is all about identity and gender transformation. I just re-watched the movie and this is what my brain rendered. I'm probably wrong, but you just try watching the movie and keep that in mind.

I remember back in '98 when they were running trailers for the Matrix, like no other movie ever before, I couldn't wait for it to open in theatres. While this movie has been out for some while now, I get the feeling it's not worth watching. The trailers seem like a bunch of sci-fi nonsense and aimed at a quick money grab. Just throw in a bit of nostalgia and special effects and a believable storyline and that should carry the film. Why do I feel this one will be a waste of time? Ans: probably because it is. But then I finally got around to watching this new rendition and I have to say, "it's not that bad." It certainly doesn't carry the same deep philosophical message as its predecessors. It's mostly special visual effects and lots of violence. The undercurrent of the storyline was supposed to be the reunion of Neo and Trinity and the rekindling of their love affair. If it was the intention of the writers to make the audience feel a deep personal attachment for and an identification with this reunion, it certainly failed on my end. Just not enough substance there to invoke that type of response. Neo seemed confused and clueless throughout and Trinity seemed torn between two worlds, which made their reunion appear pointless. Those who see this as a love story must be swallowing the blue pill because there was not enough there for that to make sense. It was simply a bunch of renegades flouting authority to reunite two symbols of an earlier era, to see where it would lead. And most likely, it will lead to another installment. Unlike the other installments, I think this is going to be a one-time watch.

It’s called the one not the two that’s the only problem I had with it

Is there any motive i may have missed coming from the analyst that revels why he’s doing what he’s doing

I've tried to listen to a couple of these summaries and I give up. It seems I have zero desire to understand this convoluted movie.

how trinity can fly now?

She did not become the one hater

Still confused

How is Agent Smith still alive?

Who does Christina Ricci play?

Holy F I am still seriously confused as to wtf these people were thinking trying to make this so ridiculously rtarded

I'm so confused.

I think the matrix is just a game being explained into a movie probably the last movie gonna be about the matrix starting another war like starting another campaign but different difficult level and soo on.

what really happened to the real morpheus? I couldn't understand it in the movie. Also, the ending was so confusing, why does trinity has neo's power? also, why, all of sudden, they just fly to the sky and say they will change matrix to whatever they want? I really love the Matrix series, but this movie is so unnecessary.

I walked out of this. First film I've done that
