This movie was so dumb. The whole joke was “lol I don’t even wanna make this but they’re making me” but it shouldn’t excuse this stupid turd for being a pointless dumb meandering piece of poo poo

It’s also the best matrix sequel

Edit: also I predicted it would just be the exact same movie as the first. I was wrong, so I guess it gets points for that

The movie spends 30-40mins retelling the premise and events of the original Matrix, except infinitely less impactful. Lana's meta commentary doesn't make up for that portion being terrible.

It was nice to see Keanu and Carrie onscreen together again though.

I am willing to accept that I might be in a fake reality, but the whole "machines use us for living batteries" idea just doesn't work. So the fake reality I am trapped in is definitely not "The Matrix".

That always bugged me about this setting. It's fine for just the first movie. It doesn't matter. He knows Kung Fu. There's guns. But the more in-depth you go and the more you build on it, the more the original premise cracks under the strain. The Matrix would, 100%, be a net loss on raw energy generation. There's no way around that, no matter how much technobabble you throw in.

There are so many other reasons why people might be trapped in a realistic simulation (either against their will, or maybe even originally with their full cooperation) and they picked one that makes no sense.

They had a huge chance to correct this stupid mistake from the OG movie as apparently WB thought their original idea was too complex? but instead it was more important to recycle beloved characters as loving hobo's ranting about...sequels? Didn't the wachowski's make the biggest loving sequels of all time @ 300million before? but now its stupid and bad and this movie is shot like garbage its an inside joke teehee

yeah the 'humans as batteries' never made any sense at all, i always read it as the studio saying 'hey you gotta put in something really super simple so idiots can get it'. would always have made more sense that the matrix needed the power of human brains to run or something

a throwaway line about 'you know the 10% of the brain you use? they're using the other 90%' is a better explanation

and then never talk about it again

This would have improved the movie immensely and the thought of what might have been really bugs me a lot more than it should.

Kind of like how much better Star Wars: Return of the Jedi would have been if the Ewoks had been Wookees.

There were a lot of points where I felt the movie was written by someone who watched Attitude Era WWF, and it was like the movie kept blaming me for it existing and the swarm mode is a literal take on Twitter or Reddit or whatever and all this non-stop super on the nose poo poo.

But the visuals were kinda neat, so 6/10 Matrixes. Second best at least.

Watched an hour or so of it, was actually somewhat disappointed I couldn't stay up and watch the rest.

Doogie Howser using the actual words "bullet time" as his grand plot to control Neo and Trinity was pretty stupid.

The entire movie is very meta. There’s literally a scene where they are brainstorming ideas for a fourth Matrix.

During the brainstorm one person says the matrix is about "trans-politics" but unless I missed it, there weren't any trans characters in the movie.

More than half the movie was the characters explaining the loving movie. The writers were too lazy to make a movie so they were like "let's have the characters stand there and say what we wish to convey in this convoluted clusterfuck. That way we don't have to put the effort into coming up with an actual movie that does this through an actual story.
