This could go either way: it could be absolutely amazing or an absolute trainwreck with no in-between.

I'm ready: I got hyped for the sequels back in 2003 when I was in high school and remember leaving the theatre legit pissed-off after Reloaded. So if Matrix 4 sucks then it sucks.

Inspired by Halloween (2018) and Dark Fate: A Terminated Story (2019), The Matrix 4: Awakening will ignore all previous sequels and will instead be a direct follow-up to the 1999 classic.

Then it fails spectacularly, critically and commercially.

I'm not going to lie: if they took that route than I would at the very least give it a watch because I believe in second chances.

But, it will likely just be another confusing and confounding mess and fail critically and cement the 1999 film as a fluke.

Great, now I get to relive the high school philosophical debates about The Matrix that I hated when I actually was in high school in 2003.

Wasn’t there a pretty big pause in production when Aaliyah died?

Not to my knowledge. The only hold-up they had during production is when Gloria Foster died and they had to recast her role.

They shot a lot of Aaliyah as Zee including the Revolutions ending, so they not only had to recast but entirely reshoot in Aaliyah's case. Matrix sequels are cursed productions between the deaths of actresses, 9/11, the death of Keanu's ex, and now Covid with 4.

Ah, I don't know how I didn't know this. I looked it up and, yeah, she was in the middle of filming Reloaded (didn't even get to film Revolutions) and had to re-cast her completely to finish the film.
