Morpheus got old so they made a new one. Neo and Trinity are apparently ageless vampires however.

*dons blue checkmark hat* Wachowskis are rich white racists that hate successful black people. Here's 19 reasons why this movie is racist and problematic. 1/109

On the one hand, he's black so Hollywood is less interested in paying whatever he might ask. On the other, even by the third movie Morpheus was pretty much written out.

Actually the movie is perfect and it is owning all the haters, whoever they are this time.

Unless WB tampered with the film... in which case it's retroactively bad and you should ignore the praise I'm currently heaping on it.

Also the original three films were never actually that good after all which means Matrix 4 is not terrible.

1 was and still a great action flick. there's some probs with it: 90s cgi generally looks awful these days (and looked bad at the time), and the whole human-battery thing is stupid that it's hard to get past. like using human brains for mining the blockchain for ai bitcoins or w/e would have made way more sense

so is there a very broad and on the nose philosophical message like matrix 1 or is it just kinda dumb scifi with lots of worldbuilding poo poo like 2 and 3

i think that was the original premise and then they had to tone it down

rewatching as an adult its kind of remarkable how long they go establishing all the themes and rules without explicitly telling you whats going on. the battery speech is like 60% of the way through the movie

Yeah, the studio made them change it because they thought it would confuse audiences.

Yes it's incredibly well made. It's the kind of film that by all rights should have opened with a studio mandated wall of text trying to explain the universe, but instead they got away with just making a good movie.

Though the changes the studio did demand were bad.

Also despite how the narrative is almost certainly going to go now, the original is a very sincere movie.

and it just works on every production level. in a vacuum a lot of the music is corny but it fits well in the movie, the sets are all amazing, there’s a unifying aesthetic between matrix vs rl, the action is top notch, the cinematography is brilliant at times. Resurrections isn’t nearly as well done on those technical levels (granted Keanu is too old to be doing amazing kung fu) and makes the movie feel a bit muddy
