Matrix 4 did not need to be made

I thought the first was great both in concept and execution (and I think Keanu has sucked in everything he made after Bill and Ted #1- which he was excellent in of course- perfect for his style and capacity.)

The rest are a film studio trying to make $$ on the back of a great film.

All the sequels were pretty lame comparatively- adding mostly naught to a great single film franchise.

I can't speak to how #1 aged however, which is why I will force the kids to watch it with me in the next few weeks and then we can talk apples to apples.

I own the trilogy, but don't remember anything about the second or third film.
So they must have been forgettable.

The first one was an awesome concept and good execution, but once that reveal is over I don't see how you keep it going short of equally mind bending reveals which could get absurd if they were continuous.

I'll probably still go see the new one in the theater on discount/free popcorn night.

Some friendly advice: be sure to drink plenty of coffee and/or Mountain Dew before you go.

Second thought, nevermind. The inside of your eyelids will likely be more interesting to watch than this mess. Literally fell asleep 1/3 of the way through and was surprised I made it that far. Forced myself to finish watching it and felt stupid afterward for doing so.

Seems like just another entry in the list of things in modern life where substance is ignored and style is expected to carry the water.

But on a high note, the Matrix Awakens technology demo using the Unreal engine looks amazing :)

I like Speed Racer... much like the cartoon it's ---smurfing--- stupid and if you keep that in mind it's highly enjoyable.

What is this "theater" you speak of? The entire WB release is free on HBOmax. Theatre is dead, long live the max. The future is now.

It is not looking good for theaters but I hope you are wrong. I love the theater experience.

We just finished rewatching the first Matrix and it really holds up. The cinematography in-particular is still amazing. The newer HD print HBO has is also very sharp.
