The Matrix Resurrections – Movie Review
all right so just to let you know Im,not going to talk spoilers in here this,is a spoiler free review however I will,touch on some things that were seen in,the second trailer which I hadnt seen,so I was like does everybody know that,its in the second trailer so youve,seen the second trailer Im not spilling,anything new also theres one thing in,here again I was like how much can I,talk about that in interviews with the,actor they freely talk about it so there,is that so yeah not spoilers but I just,want to warn you as to what spectrum of,information Im pulling from and it is,information thats out there thats not,considered spoilers per the filmmaker of,the film little double speaks trip me up,anyhow lets go,[Music],so the Matrix resurrections is the,fourth film in The Matrix franchise and,the trailers well I didnt see the,second one but the first trailer I,thought was pretty extraordinary in,terms of how trailers go great song,Choice great editing to go with the,music I was intrigued it had my,curiosity and then the movie started and,the entire beginning of this movie is,recreating literally recreating the,opening scene in the first Matrix movie,I was like oh is that how its gonna be,its just gonna be Nostalgia bait member,berry pie uh what kind of a lot a lot of,this movie is that but first going to,talk about what I liked in this movie,and Jessica henwick I liked her a lot I,really liked her character shes a,character thats easy for me to like you,know shes like nope this is the mission,we gotta find and help Neil shes a pain,in the ass to wear superiors who feel,like nope she shouldnt do this thing,shes like well screw you Im gonna do,it anyway I like characters like that I,liked her in the movie shes actually a,really big standout In Here Also it goes,without say but its great to see Keanu,back I mean its great to see Keanu and,carrion Moss but theres this build to,it you know neither of them remembers,the events of before but theres a,strong connection between the two Ill,say that about this movie in concept Im,going to say that a lot theres theres,a lot in concept that works in here as,its a really interesting Concepts and,ideas its different than stick in the,landing but a concept they definitely,had in here is the concept that theres,this connection between Neo and Trinity,because in the Matrix Reloaded when,Colonel Sanders is breaking it down and,hes talking about Neos motivation for,saving the human race is very focused,its love its love for Trinity this,movie did its best to drive you to the,point of like okay these two really mean,a lot they have a love that transcends,life death and any version of The Matrix,very love conquers all in a few scenes,in here where something happened and I,just thought of the power of love,the visuals in this movie were cool,theyre fine not groundbreaking like the,first Matrix maybe thats just the fact,of any Matrix movie The Matrix changed,fi at minimum and Cinema in reality its,like movies changed after the Matrix,this isnt going to have that effect,short of like plugging the entire,audience into an actual Matrix for them,to experience this movie its not going,to be that however if you look at the,original Matrix not only in some of the,fight scenes are there long shots of,just fists going back and forth uncut,but also shots that looked like they,were pulled from a graphic novel like,you could pull that shot put it in a,graphic novel or a comic book and youre,like oh yeah visually,same energy as they say even the Matrix,Reloaded in revolutions like visually,speaking had some really cool stuff that,stood out this movie just you know felt,like an action movie in 2021 looked cool,had some really cool scenes maybe weve,seen it all but maybe thats why they,shouldnt make a fourth Matrix movie now,the Press,reality lends itself to being self-aware,and meta and self-aware and meta this,movie is this is a very self-aware and,meta movie one of the most self-awaren,meta Ive ever seen Ive seen it,compared to Wes Cravens New Nightmare,different things not like Keanu Reeves,plays Keanu Reeves and he was once Neo,and he has to re-figure that out Keanu,Reeves plays a software developer who,created a Trilogy of games called thats,right the Matrix the premise lends,itself to being self-aware absolutely,but I think it does it to its detriment,it just beats it over your head the,point that this movie is self-aware of,the Matrix theres even a monologue,someone has with him is like oh we need,to make a fourth Matrix Warner Brothers,says its gonna happen with or without,us and at a point it just kind of felt,like a Wachowski vanity project there,were so many meta references in this,movie that the audience I was with was,laughing it I dont know that the Matrix,is supposed to feel like a comedy but at,a point it did it breached that meta,line to being like okay were going for,laps now and we are accommodating I give,this movie credit for addressing how the,world changed after the events of the,original Matrix trilogy its not like,okay Matrix is happening again it takes,place after the third one everything,they did was it didnt amount,to anything there is definitely it,amounted to something I appreciate that,thats actually one of the things I find,most interesting about this world seeing,how the world changed how its different,how the Matrix is dealt with differently,how robots in our world and robots in,that world and humans in our world and,humans in that world like theres a,different Dynamic there I probably,appreciate that most about this movie,because that is the film looking forward,not looking back I mean granted they do,quickly look back after moments like,that its like yes heres the present,look into the future and that happened,because the original Matrix trilogy,speaking of the original Matrix trilogy,uh remember that you remember I remember,great remember the original Matrix,trilogy because it was great and that we,need you to remember that and how that,was great in order to assess how this is,great suppose one of the reasons the,whole self-aware meta thing this movie,was going for started to wear on me is,because the movie was joking about it,then it became that which it was joking,about ironically or unironically other,than the fact that when new Morpheus is,talking to Neo he has b-roll footage of,the original Matrix of Morpheus talking,to Neo want to project her in the,background but there are things with the,characters I dont understand why they,felt they had to do that Yaya Abdullah,Mateen II being Morpheus I theres a,story based reason as to why he is,Morpheus and how he is Morpheus but I,never felt like he had to be Morpheus he,could have just been a new character if,you want to have Morpheus back you can,bring Lawrence Fishburne back as,Morpheus you dont have to have,canonically killed him in the Matrix,online I dont even know if thats how,he went down its just like hes not in,the movie I dont know that he died in,The Matrix online and thats what this,movies going off of and this is where,its not spoilerish it was in the second,trailer and in interviews with the actor,but so Im going to talk about it if you,dont want to know youve been warned,but Yaya Abdul Martine the second being,Morpheus is how I felt about Jonathan,Groff being Smith its like these,characters could have been new,characters its fine to have new,characters maybe they saw how,unmemorable the new characters were in,this movie because you have a new ship a,new crew as I call them Jessica henwick,and other people because shes the one,who stands out maybe there was a freak,out moment where theyre like oh we need,to I dont know just make them,characters that people know but new,Smith doesnt embody agent Smith at all,Yaya Abdullah Mateen the second its,like oh yeah thats Morpheus he does,feel like the character more than new,Smith feels like the character music,like from the trailer when you see him,say Mr Anderson,all right,it doesnt feel like Hugo w

The Matrix Resurrections Should Never Have Been Made
you know it takes quite a lot to stir me,from the party food and prosecco-induced,coma that i tend to live in between,christmas and new year but the matrix,resurrections is such a movie not,because im here to sing as praises like,spider-man no way home or anything god,no this movie is quite literally the,ying to nowhere holmes yang a boring,cynical creatively bankrupt attempt to,milk an old franchise for all its worth,awkwardly reconning new ideas into a,narrative that was already completed,decades earlier shout out by a pastor,prime filmmaker who doesnt seem to know,why shes even making this film and,featuring a mixture of creaky,middle-aged actors who can barely keep,up with the action scenes and a cast of,forgettable young hopefuls that are,about as memorable and distinctive as a,late night visit to mcdonalds in short,the matrix redirections is everything i,feared it would be in my trailer review,and more much more damn even i didnt,predict just how [ __ ] this film would be,anyway as they probably said on the,first day of shooting this thing lets,get this [ __ ] show over with so we can,all go home the movie kicks off with a,straight up rehash of the iconic opening,scene from the first film featuring a,bunch of different actors and if that,alone doesnt clue you into the kind of,[ __ ] youre about to experience then all,i can say is,ignorance is bliss,it also introduces us to gender studies,graduate who i initially assumed was,going to become the new protagonist only,for the script to gradually forget that,she even exists also what the [ __ ] is,this monstrosity it looks like someone,took a birds nest spray painted it blue,and super glued it to the top of her,heads,[Laughter],so gender studies graduate suddenly,comes face-to-face with morpheus whos,now an agent for some reason only he,eventually became self-aware and decided,he needed to find the one,[Music],[ __ ] off film anyway once we finished,reminiscing about other better matrix,movies its time to reunite with neo,whos now an older man working as a,games designer for a respectable,software company it turns out the,original matrix movies were just a,series of video games that neil helped,to develop 20 years earlier and now his,corporate overlords are pushing for a,cash grab sequel and if this is all,coming across as desperately meta like,the movies somehow trying to convince,you its on your side by mocking the,very forces that led to its creation,then well all i can say is,that is the sound of inevitability,neo is now a wealthy but unhappy man,living alone and unfulfilled in his,expensive house and yearning after a,strangely familiar woman who goes to his,local coffee shop each morning hes also,having trouble separating fantasy from,reality which forces him to take regular,medication and visit a therapist played,by neil patrick harris in his foreheads,hmm i wonder if this could turn out to,be significant later a few minutes later,so this turns out to be significant when,fake morpheus and gender studies,graduate confront neo and persuade him,to take the red pill and wouldnt you,know it he wakes up in a sleeping pod,again gets rescued by a hovership again,meets the crew again and goes through a,fighting program with morpheus again,then gets taken to zion again and the,place is now led by a very old naobi,remember that extremely interesting,character that everyone cared about from,the previous films nah me neither the,upshot of all this [ __ ] is that its,now 60 years since the events of the,previous movie the humans that were,originally trapped inside the matrix,began to rebel against the programming,leading to an energy crisis and a civil,war amongst the machines but neil,patrick harris on his forehead,eventually found a solution in the form,of neo and trinity by resurrecting their,dead bodies and plugging them back into,the matrix and somehow their unfulfilled,love for each other is what keeps the,system,functioning i dont [ __ ] know man and,i dont think lana wachowski really,knows what shes trying to say here,either the point is that neo wants her,back so he launches a mission to go back,into the matrix find trinity and rescue,her from neil patrick harris in his,forehead meanwhile gender studies,graduate and her forgettable friends,have to sneak into the machine city and,retrieve her physical body without the,machines finding out so neil does all of,that [ __ ] and gives her a chance to,leave the matrix but then trinitys like,nah itll be fine then her husband chad,and i really mean that his name is,literally chad gets just a little bit,too pushy so shes like nah it wont be,fine so neil patrick harris in his,forehead is like right you guys have to,die then agent smith who now looks talks,and acts like a completely different,person shows up for some reason and,saves the day then neo and trinity jump,off a building and trinity decides that,she can fly now because shes also the,one or whatever,[ __ ] off film then they go back to neil,patrick harris in his forehead and,trinity beats him up despite the fact,that hes a [ __ ] administration,program who cant even feel pain then,they have a good old laugh and fly off,into the sunset while holding hands,[ __ ] off film the matrix regurgitations,is a [ __ ] ridiculous disaster of a,film that reads like a piece of clumsy,fanfiction written by a sweaty,overweight teenager from 2004 who was,bummed out that his favorite heroes got,killed and wanted to bring them back to,life again for more adventures it,accomplishes absolutely nothing except,to undermine and reset everything that,happened in the previous three movies,once again neos trapped inside the,matrix and has to be freed so that he,can see the world for what it really is,once again humanity is enslaved by the,machines and only a small force of,resistance fighters can rescue them once,again theres hovercrafts and sentinels,and a human city deep underground and,once again a character has to discover,their true power so they can fulfill,their destiny it doesnt just recycle,the same concepts and philosophical,ideas it literally rehashes the same,exact scenes dialogue and characters,beat for beat sometimes even going so,far as to overlay footage from the,original movie instead of paying homage,to its predecessors and cleverly working,in iconic lines and character beats into,a new story like say oh no way home the,matrix revelation is just straight up,copy stuff under the week pretends that,its ironically making fun of cash grab,sequels sorry lana but you dont get to,have your cake eat it and mock the whole,concept of cake at the same time back,when i reviewed the trailer i questioned,why they would even make a sequel like,this long after the matrix bubble had,burst and what new ideas they could,realistically bring to a narrative that,already felt pretty complete and after,watching it from start to finish i still,cant [ __ ] tell you and i dont think,lana wachowski can either theres some,pretty crude observations about modern,culture being obsessed with feelings,over facts which i can almost imagine,driving certain parts of twitter into a,frenzy of impotent rage some extremely,clunky dialogue about the red pills and,how a persons life boils down to more,than just a binary choice hmm i wonder,what that might have been influenced by,and if i was to be super forgiving ill,acknowledge that the films message that,neither men or women can reach their,full potential alone and that a union of,the two is needed to maintain a balanced,society is actually a pretty fair one,and again picturing the reaction to a,premise like this really does put a,smile on my face but generally speaking,the film feels like a cynical repeat of,the same process that drove the force,awakens reintroducing characters and,events from previous movies and using,them as a jumping off point to retell,the same [ __ ] story all over again,like the romance between neo and trinity,i mean as cool as they were individually,they werent exactly ele

The Matrix Resurrections Is HORRIBLE – Movie Review
just gonna dress up for this put on like,a black outfit with some shades im sure,a lot of other critics are doing that,you know because the matrix is cool,i didnt though because unlike the,original trilogy the matrix,resurrections isnt cool it isnt smart,it isnt revolutionary it doesnt make,you question things yes the matrix,resurrections isnt a lot of things but,the one thing it certainly is,terrible,this is going to be a spoiler free,review ill put out a full-blown [ __ ],fest afterwards day or two later and,well talk more well go further into,things i feel like you have to set the,table when your four movies deep and,its been over a decade since the last,one i am a massive fan of the trilogy,specifically number one i like many,impressionable teenagers when this film,came out was all in on the matrix i was,running up walls i was pretending to,dodge bullets saw the film in theaters,three times i wouldnt shut up about it,i had wallpapers on my computer i just,the movie is still in my top ten,its just so unique its so special it,has some amazing characters and ideas,its got one of the best villains in,cinematic history agent smith it has,such a cool protagonist with not just,neo but trinity and morpheus the sequels,went a different direction than i was,hoping for i still enjoy the hell out of,them number three was a massive letdown,when i saw it in theaters a long time,ago over time its gotten better for me,and for a while i thought man are new,movies just getting that bad where im,looking back on some older ones fondly,or were my expectations just too high,and the ideas i had in my head werent,what the wachowskis were thinking about,so it ultimately went a different,direction and let me down the answer,most definitely is the former movies,today especially these big blockbuster,resurrections of sort,are absolute garbage and even when they,are competently done like a jurassic,world or a star wars force awakens,they ultimately fizzle out right away,because they were playing off nostalgia,and didnt have really any creative new,bones in their body there was a lot,there and i havent even talked about,matrix resurrections and honestly i,dont want to,the film once again goes deep into the,whole blue pill red pill thing you can,take the blue pill stay ignorant in,wonderland with alice or you can take,the red pill and see how deep that,rabbit hole goes which pill makes me,forget this movie exists thats the one,i want when i first heard that lana,wachowski was coming back solo to direct,this i thought to myself okay this might,be okay actually the wachowskis as a duo,had a few good films and then a whole,bunch of bad ones,starting right after speed racer they,basically made nothing but trash maybe,their tv series was better but uh my god,cloud atlas whatever that film is with,channing tatum where hes got cat eyes,uh jupiter rising or jupiter ascending,what a what a disaster but maybe lana,witchowski untethered from her sister,would do a better job well see if shes,the one with the talent in the family,shes not,shes not at all especially in the,writing department the script for this,movie is an absolute [ __ ] show i think i,read an early review that this movie was,going to be polarizing for fans old and,new,no,no its its just bad,if its polarizing then the taste of,moviegoers has gotten so awful that its,not even worth talking to them about,since this is spoiler free were just,going to go through the checklist of,what i look for in a good movie the,script the story the plot,bad bad bad are you sick of sequels that,come out many years after the original,regurgitating plot points and dialogue,and nostalgia just for the sake of a,cheap reaction then its going to be,hard for you to get past this over two,hour film let alone the first 10 minutes,because the whole movie is remember this,remember this it is so meta it is so up,its own ass,that it cant even be bothered to tell,anything unique i was predicting scenes,camera shots and music half an hour 45,minutes before they even hit i went with,my good friends to this movie weve seen,all of them together in theaters so this,was kind of a big deal generations of,the matrix in theaters what a splendid,idea all of us hated it,not even disliked it full-blown hatred,of this movie lets push away the script,how was the action a staple of the,franchise they they birthed bullet time,they gave us phenomenal choreographed,action and spectacle the likes that,hadnt been seen before whats a more,aggressive word for dog [ __ ],first of all there is a decent amount of,action the camera got a lot more shaky,since the first three movies though uh,secondly neo mostly does this,stopping bullets and throwing and doing,force pushes he doesnt do theres like,one scene where hes doing hand-to-hand,combat in this movie and thats a,training simulation which you see in the,trailer not not good either every single,time lana reminds me of the older movies,shes doing herself a disservice because,they were done better in those films,shes cosplaying here shes doing a,shitty interpretation of a movie she,already made at best this movie comes,off as a bad parody at worst it ruins,the matrix films that came before,theres a scene in the film where they,reference bullet time they actually say,those words and they talk about how they,need to up the game for a sequel so what,do they do,bullet time but way worse,it has this herky jerkiness to it almost,an in and out of focus,blur effect that looks miserable its,not fun to watch,the only thing thats retained from the,original trilogy is the sound effects of,what,so story is a miss actions a disaster,by the way the action scenes theyre,theyre cut up really poorly too that,shot in the trailer where shes running,in the hallway and goes up sideways and,then flips over,it doesnt connect well the the shots do,not line up theres something off about,it and that goes throughout this picture,okay of,the music remember the music from the,original trilogy don davis,junkie xl,lincoln park and marilyn manson good,freaking awesome bands plus the symphony,plus the overall scoring of the movies,the burly brawl i mean theres so many,amazing songs gone,gone from this new one,where we have like two composers ive,never even heard of you have some of the,original theme obviously sprinkled,throughout but the new stuff is boring,its its lame,everythings lame this is the matrix,wheres the coolness wheres the leather,where are the shades where the where are,the agents theres like no agents in,this movie and theyre not a threat i,was never fearing for this new morpheus,or for neo or trinity i was never scared,for them i never was enthralled in the,rich,backstory of the machine world and and,how theyre able to do all the things,theyre doing i never once had to tap,into my brain and think about things i,was more or less just,befuddled,confused,not in a smart way in a why the [ __ ] did,they do this kind of way its amazing,how lana knows exactly what made the,original so great but doesnt have the,capability or the wherewithal to make it,again this is a hard pass usually i say,watch the film make up your mind,yourself no,no if you i i cant imagine any fan any,real fan of the original trilogy going,to this and saying like oh wow this was,great this was such a return to form,its a chore to sit through its a bore,to sit through its frustrating its,miserable,i hated every second of it those are my,thoughts on the matrix resurrections,wasnt that fun,if you saw the movie let me know in the,comments below how much you hated it if,you liked it oh i cant wait to hear why,like the video if you had some fun,subscribe to the channel for more honest,reviews and hopefully ill see you soon,nostalgia sure is a wonderful tool isnt,it we can cart out these old ass actors,make them do the things they did 20,years ago much better its a fun time,you know what else is fun supporting,people you like on youtube such as,myself you could talk to your friends or,fa
The Matrix Resurrections — How to Fail at Sequel | Anatomy Of A Failure
this video is sponsored by morning brew,a free daily newsletter that keeps you,up to date on whats going on in our,simulation in a quick non-boring way,inside youll find the breakdown,including keyword association with the,brand which i think are great things to,keep in mind as you begin working on,matrix four this cannot be another,reboot retread regurgitate why not,leave itself,oops,[Music],the matrix resurrections is a story,about a storyteller being forced to,return to an old franchise to make a,sequel,thats not only the premise of the movie,but also the premise behind the movie,because according to the producer,warners was adamant to continue the,matrix with or without the original,filmmaker which you can definitely find,in the subtext as well our beloved,parent company warner brothers has,decided to make a sequel to the trilogy,one,they informed me theyre gonna do it,with or without us i thought they,couldnt do that,oh they cant,and they made it clear theyll kill our,contractor,and im not gonna sit here and pretend,not to understand the studios decision,the world of the matrix has so much,potential both narratively and,financially so it makes sense to return,to it and whether the general execution,here was positive or negative whether,resurrections is a great movie or not,thats up to you im sure theres great,arguments for both sides,but when it comes to being a sequel when,it comes to strictly continuing existing,material resurrections is a,predominantly negative example and i,think the best way for us to understand,why that is and learn from it is to,contrast it against the positive sequel,aspects we identified about wrath of the,titans in a video before now i dont,think wrath of the times overall is a,better movie than matrix resurrections,but it is hands down the better sequel,because it basically copied the most,essential sequel qualities from arguably,the greatest sequel of all time,terminator 2. whereas resurrections,pretty much drops the ball with each and,every one of those essential qualities,it recycles core franchise elements,without doing anything new with them,ive been looking for you he doesnt,build on or upgrade things from before,agent smith,and it also cannot even justify its own,existence by fixing and concluding,oversights of the past its not easy,augmenting the genome to photosynthesize,so today thats what were focusing on,lets take a closer look at matrix,resurrections as a continuation of a,franchise and identify the core reasons,it fumbles at that so that well know,what to watch out for with our own,resurrection movies in the future heres,how to fail at sequel,the first sequel problem with,resurrections is that although it plays,with familiar elements that are,essential to the franchise as a sequel,should it doesnt do anything new with,them i am morpheus,and i have to find neo,something very familiar about all this,the best way to explain this is to just,look at the story which is basically a,reskinned version of what weve already,seen we begin the movie as we did the,original and on the surface it does look,different because this time were in an,outside perspective this time trinity,isnt trinity this time morpheus is one,of the agents and we have a longer,dialogue scene with him like,aesthetically things appear new but in,terms of the broad strokes and dynamics,its still exactly the same,look we know what happens next we still,get attacked by officials at this,apartment we still run from agents and,do big jumps from rooftops we still,successfully escaped the simulation just,in time if weve seen the original we,already know what happens here something,very familiar,after that we find neo living his life,in the matrix which looks different,because this time hes rich but the main,point still is that he hates his job and,his life around it and the only glimmer,of hope is when he meets trinity you,know that road and i know thats not,where you want to be this is the best,thing ive done in a long time we then,get to the first office rescue attempt,which looks different because this time,morpheus actually shows up and theres a,firefight but the main point still is,that neo hesitates and gets captured as,a result after which he then gets,brought to the safe house where things,get explained and he chooses the red,pill then neo gets rescued as before,then he immediately faces these,preconceived notions about being the one,as before,then he trains with morpheus as before,and then we go to this human city which,might look different from zion but still,plays the same because once again,theres no real danger or conflict here,because once again the story is,primarily about good humans versus evil,machines even the ultimate goal then,becomes about neo saving someone from,the matrix which is visually different,but dynamically and in terms of the,broad story strokes not so much,and even though it is important to use,the core elements that give your,franchise its personality you have to do,new things with those elements wrath of,the times begins with a monster attack,just like its predecessor because thats,what makes these movies what they are,but this time the hero successfully,kills the monster and saves his family,this time the story becomes about,prevention of evil rather than revenge,weve seen these elements before but not,in this way the dynamics are different,the broad strokes and outcomes are,different i know its not the kraken i,want to kill how do i get the hades they,talk to my father you must journey to,the underworld,and its that type of change in the,familiar that resurrection should have,utilized as well what if this time neo,is happy with his life in the matrix how,would that change the process of getting,him out what if this time neo doesnt,first discover his powers in a safe,training module but rather in a real,situation but if thats what snaps him,out of the matrix spell how would that,change his way out of the matrix what if,this time neo isnt important what if,hes not rescued because of his name but,because hes needed for something else,how would it change his journey if he,has to build his reputation rather than,rely on needing it what if this time,theres a big human antagonist if the,story this time is about humans and,machines versus humans and machines how,would that change things,im not saying these are the changes,that should have been made im just,trying to highlight how they would have,forcibly altered things because the,changes that have been made theyre not,enough to alter anything nioh and smith,joining forces at the end does switch up,the relationship dynamics but it only,lasts for one scene,the stuff about the matrix existing as a,video game in this world is intriguing,but it ultimately serves no other,purpose than to hammer in the same point,that neo hates his life cat videos the,series of videos,that we call the cat tricks i mean,theres this really interesting idea,about making neo a public enemy maybe,theres no foundation to the rumors that,you disappeared because you were working,with the machines from the beginning,which never goes beyond that one line,and its a shame because having neo be,hated would have automatically played,out very differently than him once again,getting special treatment because of who,he is ive never met a legend before,which weve already seen and if weve,already seen it if we already know,exactly how things begin and end and,play out what is the point in seeing,them play out again,he read it on the flight over and then,we met for breakfast the next day and he,said jim i dont know about this i turn,into bambi here i dont kill anybody but,im the terminator dont worry youre,going to be seriously badass throughout,the film but were going for something,different here that is a really new,twist and i think this is why people,celebrated the terminator,the second sequel problem with,resurrections is that instead of,building on and upgrading things from,before it mostly just offers inf
The Matrix Resurrections Angry Vlog Movie Review
hey guys so im out here in nature as,you can see colorado its freaking,snowing as a texan this is uh beautiful,to me and unknowns,to me,but uh i gotta make a v-log video uh of,matrix resurrections,which god damn you guys for making me,watch this uh,in fact i had to go into town just so,that it will download on the you uh,on the hbo max app,because i get no internet right now,um and then hopefully i can upload this,at some point back in town later but,uh matrix,four,is essentially if you redid the matrix,only did it,worse in every way possible,worse acting,worse action,worse story,and then did this whole cringy,self-parody thing,um and i understand what they were going,for they tried to do this whole um,you know sort of were all in our own,matrixes with our social media and our,phones and and you know how is it that,neo is still alive,and um,if youve seen the end of the original,matrix trilogy they explained that and,i am okay with that explanation one,thing i will say in the movies favor is,it does sort of deepen the lore at least,between the humans and the machines uh i,dont want to spoil anything ill wait,for the spoiler section on that but,everything else,it is a travesty what theyve done to,keanu reeves this character neo,he is essentially sidelined and a bullet,shield,for most of the film while the action,which is what matrix was known for uh,this slo-mo bullet time amazing kung fu,is i have no idea if they got the wrong,cinematographer or choreographer or,whatever,but its,not anywhere near as inspired as the,original perhaps lana uh needed uh her,sibling in order to,make this work because it honestly feels,like a,uh bad b movie version of the matrix,story that we know,um and this isnt really uh you know the,new characters youve got this uh,morpheus like character uh and youve,got bugs the blue haired lady,um and you know a few other uh red,pillars is what theyre called but,honestly theyre theyre mostly fine but,majorly in the background this is mainly,a story about neo and trinity now if you,are a trinity fan you are going to love,this film because this film is all about,trinity and you know bringing her up to,speed and sort of the relationship uh,between neo and trinity which is fine,because uh if you know the trilogy um,that is essentially the love between,these two is what uh neo chooses in the,end and whats different with all the,matrix reboots that have happened and uh,it is sort of clever uh what theyve,done here in order to,uh,what this new matrix is its clever im,im doing my best not to do spoilers,however,the acting and the replacements the,essentially redoing the matrix because,theyre seen straight out of the matrix,in fact playing on the screen this whole,idea of this matrix video game and they,play the video game and they watch the,video game which is actually the first,film playing and they pretend that film,is a video game its just so cringy its,so dumb i hate it um and so neo has,sort of created this model is what they,call it this sort of matrix within a,matrix for him,um and from this modal is born this,story when these red pillars figure out,what what this is and discover this,little uh looping matrix because the,original matrix is kind of playing,itself out again,and the problem is is that morpheus god,nobody can top lawrence fishburn and as,as well as this new morpheus does its,just not enough he does have a,uniqueness to him because of the way his,character is um and i dont want to say,too much there but it it just,its not the morpheus uh it,its an interesting performance and he,is one of the better parts of the film,uh but what ruins it for me is uh you,know this,mr smith agent smith is in this film,and nobody can touch hugo weaving and,this actor is uh i guess hes probably,doing the best with the material hes,given but i feel no,threat from him he he apes lines and,just re-reads lines from the original,film it just does not work,um theres so much self-referential,humor with warner brothers here and sort,of sequel baiting and stuff like that,like is is this say matrix four,necessary were gonna do it without you,anyway so we might as well do it its,just,its cringy um,and unfortunately the action is what i,have a major problem with uh when they,first start shooting youre like okay,here we go this is to be awesome but,immediately your sense of immersion is,broken because like they are missing,when they they have a cl a serious case,of the stormtrooper right and the,original matrix was smart about it you,felt like they are dodging the bullets,in unique ways and yeah there was a few,shots where youre like that should have,connected but you dont really realize,it because its so well filmed in this,and yeah i watched the first matrix and,then i watched this the the gunfire and,the gun play its so ridiculous and,extreme that it,loses its sense of reality and when you,realize that nobodys gonna die theres,no tension uh,and it loses a sense of danger and,tension the original nebuchadnezzar they,lost,um operators and they lost red pillars,and here um,theres none of that tension and,it just sucks there is a unique thing,between,what this thing is and the future i mean,theyre definitely sequel baiting they,want so badly uh to try to do the second,and third films but the way this ends uh,i dont know,its,it just its a travesty it sucks uh,and i wish it was better i really really,wanted to like it because i love the,world of matrix i love neo i saw that,film seven times,in the theater and this just aint it,man uh in fact i like the original,matrix films way better than this one so,i was thinking maybe this one will be,not not as good as the first nobody,expects it to be but better than the,sequels no i actually like uh matrix,reloaded and uh resurrection or whats,the third one uh revelations i liked it,way better than this one um,despite all the you know heavy dialogue,in the second one but amazing fights and,excessive cgi in the second one,um,yeah its a its a damn shame,because uh although keanu reeves is,putting in a good performance theres,just not much for him to do here uh and,the relationship between trinity and neo,it was it was fine in the original films,but to to have a whole film around that,and that the idea of their love it just,doesnt work quite as well um but like i,said if youre a fan of trinity youre,gonna love this film,um but im a fan of neo and i wanted to,see a lot more better kung fu uh when,you watch basically the subway scene to,the end of the film in the first one,and then you watch some of this film,its just a huge start difference and,its a shame because i,i wanted this film to do well and,just bad,performances bad acting uh,the whole mechavellian scene is is so,bad like i expected way more these,exiles coming back and you could see,some of the exiles are actually from the,original matrix reloaded but it just the,scene is messy it doesnt work and,unfortunately i just didnt like it,so im going to,stop dancing around spoilers and give it,a final verdict,um,it gets some things right towards the,end they introduce new matrix ideas yeah,i cant stand their bullet time in this,and kevin almost forgot that like bullet,time was revolutionary when it came out,this bullet time is pathetic its you,know that frame by frame choppy movement,they do slow movement for everybody else,but one of the characters moves so damn,fast,i just hate it when they do that so,bullet time is worse the kung fu is,worse the uh gunfire and gun action is,worse i did like the idea theyd redo,the helicopter kind of scene a little,bit i did like that um and then they,introduced this new idea of the swarm,hey joe want zombies and matrix no i,dont want zombies in matrix so they,tried to do the swarm idea but you knew,i was gonna hate it i didnt like it i,it i thought it could have been done,better actually in the third act the,final act the swarm starts to work a,little bit better when theres this huge,chase sequences and theres a you know,several exp
The Matrix Resurrections – SPOILER Talk
yeah so i saw the matrix resurrections,again for the second time i cant do,that voice the entire time but i did see,the matrix resurrections again i saw it,online i saw it on hbo max when it came,out so i could skip through the boring,scenes ive been watching it a second,time did it get any better well,well first of all i am going to give you,a spoiler warning i dont even know if,this im going to title this spoiler,talk maybe just title it i saw the,matrix resurrections for a second time i,dont know regardless i am going to talk,about more spoilerish stuff that i,couldnt talk about in my spoiler-free,review so youve been warned also i,promise,i will not use the term meta at all in,this video youve heard it enough,you dont need to hear it ever again if,you hear it,in three lifetimes its itll be too,soon but i will say upon second viewing,it was interesting to see those concepts,i mean granted i saw them in the first,viewing but its those moments where you,see something there youre like i felt,like this movie started out as an,interesting concept probably a back and,forth between the wachowskis back in,2003 is like if we were gonna do matrix,four what would we do they both amicably,decided on the smart choice which was,there is no matrix four its a trilogy,and its done but,here we are but this movie does start,out with an interesting concept i wont,lie i was the most engaged with the,matrix resurrections at the prospect of,everything we saw in the original,trilogy being a video game i dont know,if that was the way it was maybe it,would have pissed me off but it was a,thing where i was like whoa this looks,bold,lets see where this goes lets see,where this train takes us not like bad,cgi train but you know plot train but,then the movie just kept going and wound,up with its head up its own abs this,movie felt like you ever bounce ideas,off of someone maybe youre talking,philosophy i dont know maybe youre,super stoned you know when someone talks,and at first youre like oh you got,something here all right lets see what,you have to say and then they just keep,talking youre like oh no youre just,youre just making [ __ ] up thats what,this movie felt like to me its a thing,that actually the matrix sequels do,suffer from the first matrix is i think,flawless its an imaginative telling,thats self-contained they probably,didnt think they were gonna get sequels,so it works in that self-contained way,its created to be so its all right,they need to make a trilogy so they add,things to the lore they do a couple,retcons i say retcons because you know,the first matrix they were like oh emp,its the only thing we have against the,machines also we have mechs and very big,guns you know that exists too forgot to,mention that so the wachowskis have,always just pulled things out of thin,air it causes the audience at least,myself to be like wait a minute wait,what what doesnt change the fact that,the matrix resurrection started out with,some interesting concepts on the table,one thing i did like is the neil patrick,harris dynamic i didnt like everything,about the guy like when youre looking,at him and comparing him to colonel,sanders youre like well,you are a step back i like the original,architect the way the guy talked you,could tell youre like yeah you are,above human beings neil patrick harriss,character looks like hes taken over as,the new architect he keeps talking about,my predecessor and he was all about,precision he didnt like human nature so,it looks like hes the new guy but he,also doesnt have that commanding,presence you know he talks and acts like,hes a product of the matrix weve gone,from colonels original recipe to spicy,he does have a great monologue that,monologue he has about human nature and,how feelings supersede facts and the,only reality people are concerned with,is the one that we create up there i was,like this is,true i dont know if its trying to go,for that thing its like a villain said,it youre not supposed to agree but i,totally and completely 150,do agree so i dont know what to say,its like when the joker talks about,things going according to plan im like,well hes not wrong i like it when,villains see more clearly in movies than,the heroes and i thought that monologue,was,i thought that was as real as it gets,the i o stuff drags on you see some neat,things about how machines and humans,have worked together absolutely but the,movie undeniably slows down to the point,where i know for a fact you dont want,to hear me talk about it so were going,to move on its actually neat to see,jada pinkett smiths character back,niobe because whenever i see an old,character that used to be a young,character theres decades in between and,was like what happened with them you,made strawberries thats cool i wonder,if the strawberries tasted like,strawberries in the matrix though you,think about that thats the thing that,the first matrix also did that this this,movie didnt do,is that it had a great thought a great,thought experiment,broken down in a very simple way how did,the machines know what tasty wheat,tasted like maybe they didnt know what,to make chicken taste like which is why,chicken tastes like everything im i was,always pissed that he got hush like,mouse shut up i was like wait the kids,got a point lets hear him out i always,liked that argument it would have been,kind of cool to go the next step with,this maybe the strawberry tasted like a,strawberry but not exactly like it,tasted like strawberry ish maybe a,little off i get that you know theyre,working with the machines the machines,are probably like yeah this is created,from the data from the matrix so its,gonna taste the same,maybe not exactly no copy is identical,maybe it takes a little off but well,never know officially monologued too,much about strawberries but they are an,excellent source of fiber the thing in,this movie that was blatant nostalgia,bay that was in this movie for no reason,other than nostalgia was the merrell,vinjian hey i like the merv as much as,the next guy best part of the matrix,sequels absolutely is why i say it but,he clocks into this movie for about a,minute and a half for nothing having him,in this movie did nothing for the plot,might as well have just had him come in,and be like,remember having him in here was just,absolutely shoehorned in and it was the,epitome of member barry also merovingian,sounded like skeletor in this movie yeah,he-man its a four maybe theyll have,him in the second,fifth one maybe theyll have him back,and he wont look like he just escaped,from [ __ ] jumanji but the biggest,thing about this movie that stands out,its not only some of the cgi youre,like thats the best you got the matrix,that had a vision thats thats why bad,cgi and bad choreography in this movie,are such a letdown they hit so much,harder than other movies that have those,problems because the matrix was a vision,that had to create new technology to get,the job done to have that vision on,screen you cant go from that kind of,filmmaking to some basic ass [ __ ] like,this you can,but its a letdown you think of the,other matrix movies how would they have,made,a character look if they were getting,disoriented and things started to get,euphoric do you think they would have,done some basic ass choppy frame rate,1995 effect like they did in the matrix,resurrections because they did in the,matrix resurrections thats kind of what,this movie felt like actually now that i,mentioned it it does feel like a matrix,fan film at a point this movie felt like,a matrix parody and the martial arts,martial arts and matrix,its a its such a great and wonderful,marriage i would say thats a better,love story than trinity and neo its the,matrix and martial arts the matrix has,always been this aggregate this,amalgamation of genres that defied genre,its sci-fi its gun fighting its,martial arts the martial arts is,definitely a flavor of the matrix and,those martial arts fights and the other,matrix movies they were so clean
