Lana and Lilly haven’t had a falling out, have they? Seems weird only Lana is working on stuff lately.

A tremendous number of the non-main character people in the movie are cops so gently caress em. And the bots jumping and splatting into code blobs make it clear they aren't really human. Trinity's Matrix family is likely also bots because otherwise they would have reacted to walking into a room with a billion cops in it (even if they're white).

They showed a bunch of people reacting in horror as these bots threw themselves out of windows and the like, which should heavily imply they're Matrixed humans who swarm mode doesn't affect.

So it's merely that hundreds of bluepills were in love with / married to evil computer programs, and then these programs violently committed suicide in a coordinated catastrophe to try and kill Neo and Trinity, and this is better somehow (?!?)

Yes? What's bad about it? The Analyst is evil, I don't know what to tell you. They already established this possibility with Trinity's family's eyes turning black in the cafe after she rejects them.

To comment on the action, I don't think what hurt the action had anything to do with direction or choreography, but a floatiness and a lack of stakes for most of the fight scenes. Compare the action in the first Matrix - halfway through there's a fight scene were a good chunk of the humans just straight up get murdered easily by Agents. I'm not sure any human dies throughout the entire length of Matrix Resurrections. The action is thus fairly perfunctory - you never feel like the characters are in any serious danger.

This is kind of a problem with the whole series though, in the first movie someone says that nobody has survived a fight with an Agent which is what makes it all the more impressive when Neo can handle them - but the later films just turn them into cannon fodder.
