The Matrix Resurrections

I don't understand. I really don't. The movie is coming in a few months. Why are they so against the public seeing a trailer at this point?

I would've rather, ya know, just seen the trailer, than have the description of it spread everywhere first.
They want you to want the trailer harder.
 
I know we got some great descriptions but did it look good. Did the cgi look good? Did it have a smaller tighter feel to it like The Matrix or was it big and open like the sequels?

I can’t get away from announcements about more movies for you — you’re the busiest man in Hollywood. The next one is another secretive project — “Matrix 4.” What is the biggest difference between stepping into a piece of IP like “Matrix” and doing one like “Candyman”? Or is it a very similar situation?

It’s not very different. They both are classics that people love. They come with high expectations of excellence, and audiences cannot cannot wait to see them. And it’s nice to be a part of that.

Of course, they also come with the opportunity to, to add your own spin to moments and characters. And we’re looking forward to doing that with the “Matrix” in the same way that we did it with “Candyman.” It’s all an opportunity to tell new fresh stories and to change the narrative and to add a new perspective on it.

So then does that mean you’re playing a new character, or a version of somebody that we already know in “The Matrix?”

In “The Matrix?” Yeah, I think you’re breaking up a little bit. All of a sudden, I can’t hear you so well.
 
Official website for the movie has launched. Bringing back all those feels from the early 00's! Nothing to see yet unfortunately but a background wrapper, but maybe a trailer or something will be there soon.

First film was the pinnacle but I still enjoyed the sequels despite their flaws, I felt there was generally more good in them than bad.

Maybe they will address how Neo could use his powers in the real world. What they offered in the last movie was nonsense and made little sense.
 
Yeah, it really bothered me that Neo could use his powers in the real world with almost no explanation. I always liked the theory that the “real world” was just another simulation.

That's one explanation.

Another is that Neo had some kind of neural link to the machines. After all, we only saw him use his powers in the real world specifically against machines; he never displayed flight, increased strength, superhuman speed or any of the other more generic 'superpowers' he had. Given that his real world body was still full of bio implants that originally connected him to the Matrix, I always thought it was a possibility that he'd managed to use these to exercise some kind of basic wireless control over the machines - perhaps by conditioning his physical mind to behave like his Matrix mind, which had more elevated control over the environment around him than virtually all other Matrix inhabitants. The stress of doing so first time round caused him to lapse into a coma.

The wireless/neural link would also explain how he ended up in Matrix limbo at the subway station, without being physically jacked into the Matrix.
 
Cool. I really hope they managed to make this good again. The sequels ruined what could have been an epic franchise but I’ll give it another shot.
 
I still enjoy the sequels haha, particularly Reloaded. But I did hear this feels more like the original film, so that should please a lot of people.
 
The original kept things simple which made the film much better, Reloaded added a layer of complexity but began going off the rails by the third act, and Revolutions isn’t a horrible film by sequel standards, but it just didn’t feel right as an ending. I really hope Resurrections goes back to basics.
 
Not sure if I said this already but Reloaded was such a weirdly paced movie. The action scenes went on too long to the point where they became boring and in between you just had characters monologuing at each other. It just gets tedious after a while. The pacing in Revolutions is better but they spent too much time on characters that no one cares about and then killing Trinity makes Neo’s efforts to save her in the previous two movies feel like a waste. I hope they right the ship in this one. At least Trinity is back (somehow) so that hopefully fixes one problem.
 
I think Reloaded and Revolutions are vastly underrated films. The Matrix is far simpler and more satisfying as a stand alone film, but I think Reloaded and Revolutions are unique. Rarely do you see blockbuster films take risks like those films did and explore heavy ideas as extensively as they did, and I get why many don't like them. But I find the sequels are movies that I like more and more everytime I watch them.

Yes I know I am in the minority on that one, lol. I don't know yet how I feel about this new one. Really depending on the trailers to sell me on it.
