Why i HATED The Matrix - Resurrections - Disappointing Movie

Hello, welcome back to a new movie review.

So I recently just watched the new Matrix

Resurrections movie, and as an avid fan of

The Matrix series and sci-fi movies in

general, I just had to watch this movie.

Unfortunately, it was a massive

disappointment.

So the movie begins with our main

character Neo stuck in the Matrix again.

He doesn't even realize that he's in some

kind of virtual reality world, and it's

just like the first movie all over again.

And you know they're out of ideas when

they just basically redo the first story

from the first movie and say, hey look,

it's a brand new story.

And the story was just really rubbish.

There were no interesting new plot twists

or new developments, no new characters

that were interesting at all, and I was

yawning the whole time.

And I just really don't know why they

decided to make this movie, apart from the

obvious answer: to make some easy money

and a quick cash grab.

But there were no new ideas, and I just

feel like if they don't have any new ideas

for a sequel, then don't bother to reboot

the series or the franchise.

If I had to describe how bad this movie

was, imagine if they decided to reboot the

Lord of the Rings trilogy, and again they

start off in the beginning in the Shire

and there's another ring.

Somehow the ring has been remade, and now

Frodo's son has to take the ring to Mount

Doom all over again and do the same thing

all over again and then expect us to enjoy

it as a brand new movie.

No, that's not how it works.

You can't just copy and paste what

happened in the first movie and then

rebrand it as a sequel.

But apparently Warner Brothers thinks it's

okay to do this.

So I'll briefly explain what happens in

the movie and why I thought it was

rubbish.

Inside of this new Matrix world, Neo is

now some kind of famous video game

developer, and he's famous for developing

a game based off of The Matrix.

The game he makes is called The Matrix,

and all of the events in the first 3

movies are inside of his game.

So everyone knows about The Matrix as a

video game.

So all of the characters in Neo's new

Matrix world, they keep breaking the

fourth wall by— they keep referring to

events that happened in the first trilogy

of movies in the video game, and they say

stuff like, our parents' company, Warner

Bros.

Some people might think it's a pretty

unique idea, but for me it just broke the

immersion of the movie when the

characters— when the main character and

the other characters are self-aware of of

the first movies, it just kind of feels a

bit weird.

But because this whole world is basically

a virtual reality, I guess anything's

possible.

And that's just kind of an excuse that The

Matrix movies uses to be able to justify

anything they want.

And that's one of the main things I never

really liked about The Matrix franchise.

It just makes you not really care about

what's happening in the world when you

know that the world is not real and it's

just like this computer code.

And silly things can happen, like, oh, Neo

can fly?

That's just because he's altered the

coding so he can fly.

Oh, Neo can stop bullets?

That's well, that's just because he

altered the fabric of the reality in this

virtual world.

When literally anything can happen inside

of a virtual reality world like in The

Matrix, then when anything does happen,

none of it's really impressive.

It's kind of like when TV shows or movies

try and trick you into thinking that a

character having a dream or being trapped

in a nightmare world is the real world,

and then all this crazy stuff happens, and

then they wake up and realize, oh, it was

just a dream, and nothing that happened in

the dream world actually mattered or had

any importance.

Well, the entire Matrix movies just feel

like that.

When the consequences don't really matter,

then the actions that the characters take

or have or do in this virtual world don't

really matter either.

And I honestly couldn't care less what

happened inside of The Matrix.

The thing I cared about really was what

was happening in the real world when they

get unplugged.

And even Neo himself, when he realizes

that he's back in The Matrix again, he

says, wait, if I'm back here in The Matrix

again, then, then everything that happened

in the past, none of it mattered.

And That's what it kind of feels like.

Everything they fought so hard for in the

first few movies just seems like it was

all a waste of time if everything just

kind of reset back to Neo being stuck in

the Matrix again.

So the first 40 minutes or so of the movie

is just Neo kind of bumbling around, going

crazy, starting to realize that he is in

the Matrix.

And this new bunch of people come to save

him, and this new guy who plays Morpheus

now tries to get him to take a red pill so

he can get unplugged from the Matrix.

And I don't know if they had any problems

trying to get Laurence Fishburne to come

back to play Morpheus again, but they got

this new guy who does actually look a lot

like Laurence Fishburne.

And then they've got this whole story

about how the real Morpheus, he didn't

survive the war, and they have a statue of

him and he's this amazing person that

everyone looks up to.

But it just feels like the whole story was

just made up on the spot because they

couldn't get Laurence Fishburne to come

back and they had to get this new guy to

play as the new Morpheus who isn't really

the real Morpheus.

It's like a copy of Morpheus.

I don't know.

So the new characters finally managed to

rescue Neo and pull him out of the Matrix

and make him remember who he was again.

And now they have to go back into the

Matrix to now save Trinity, who's also

stuck in the same Matrix world and also

has no memory.

And I just found this to be extremely lazy

writing.

They just kind of copy and pasted the

events of the first movie, but then also

added Trinity as one of the people who has

to be rescued and unplugged.

Nothing really new happened in the whole

Matrix world, or there's not, not really

any new developments Basically, the whole

movie just follows the same template as

the original ones where they start off in

the Matrix, they get unplugged, then they

got to plug back into the Matrix to do

something, and they unplug again, then

they got plugged back in again.

It's just like hopping in and out of the

Matrix during the whole film.

Now, as this is an action movie, you would

think maybe the action scenes are really

cool and fun to watch.

No, the action and the fighting in the

movie is just really bad.

Number one, the shooting action is just

all the characters and the bad guys

randomly spraying their weapons at each

other without hitting anything.

It's like the agents just open fire on the

blue-haired girl, miss every shot.

She then fires back at them and misses

every shot, or the agents just dodge all

the bullets all the time.

The guns don't mean anything.

Every character that fires a gun, they all

just have absolutely terrible aim, and

it's just like the guns have no

significance at all.

They could all be decked out in the

highest most high-tech weaponry ever, and

they will just miss every shot, throw the

guns away, and then start doing arm-to-arm

combat.

Now, the kung fu and martial arts combat

is not really fun to watch either.

It's just a bunch of whooshing sounds like

whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, poof,

poof, poof.

The martial arts combat fighting scenes

just don't really look realistic at all.

It looks very wishy-washy.

Most of it is just Neo waving his arms

around, doing some flips, doing a few

kicks, and The punches and the kicks don't

really look like they're painful at all.

They can do like these most powerful

punches that knocks the enemy flying

backwards into a concrete wall, and they

just get up as if nothing happened.

There's no blood.

There's no really like brutalness to the

hand-to-hand fighting.

Compare the hand-to-hand fighting in The

Matrix to something like Game of Thrones.

I just never felt on the edge of my seat

watching these hand-to-hand combat fights

going on like I did when I was watching

the Hound fighting Brienne.

And to be honest, all of the action scenes

just gave me a headache.

They zoom in way too much.

The camera's shaking way too much.

You can barely catch up, keep up with

what's going on because it's shaking and

the scenes keep changing, zooming in and

out so much.

I felt like I was going to vomit from

motion sickness.

And then at the end of the film, the last

action scene, all of the people in the

Matrix get turned into like these zombies

and they swarm towards Trinity and Neo as

they're trying to escape on a motorbike.

And the whole movie just turns into like a

zombie apocalypse movie.

So Neo and Trinity managed to defeat the

therapist analyst guy, and then they fly

off into the sunset and that's it.

The credits roll.

It's the end of the movie.

And it was just such a rubbish ending.

It didn't explain anything.

It didn't give me any feelings of closure.

So now Neo and Trinity are in charge of

this Matrix world.

What are they going to do?

Who cares?

It's just the Matrix virtual reality

world.

What about the actual real world?

Since the ending of the 3rd Matrix movie,

there's literally been no progress with

the whole humans versus the robots in the

real world.

Still, the robots are in charge of the

entire world.

Somehow the robots don't want to kill the

humans anymore and let them have a city

where they sit there growing strawberries.

It just doesn't make any sense.

In the last movie, at the end, they had a

massive battle against all these flying

octopus squid robots and they managed to

survive it somehow.

And now the robots just like, okay, we'll

let you live, I guess.

Here, have a city where you can grow

strawberries.

And now the humans also have robots on

their side as well, and apparently the

robots had a big civil war because they're

running out of electricity.

I want to know or see if there's any

progress being made against the war

against the robots.

When are humans going to take the upper

hand again and take back control of the

planet and teach the robots who's boss?

I'm sick and tired of this whole

narrative, this whole story of, oh, the

humans, they lost the war.

Now we're being harvested and all our

babies and the human beings are being

harvested in these big fields.

I was never happy with the ending of the

last movie because still the humans were

the losers.

And we were still like the cockroaches

trying to survive, trying not to get

detected by the really powerful robots.

I'm just wondering if things are ever

going to change.

Are the tides going to turn?

If not, then the whole movie trilogy

series just seems like a waste of time.

If humans are just never gonna win, then

what's the point?

I really hope that they're gonna make a

new trilogy springboarding off of this new

movie, and I really hope Neo and the gang

have some kind of tactics or plans to use

this Matrix world that they've now taken

over to try and turn the tide against

robots and then to tell them who's the

real boss of this planet, because we made

the bloody robots.

We're in charge.

Why are we still getting harvested for

energy and electricity?

I'm just sick and tired of this whole

movie franchise where us humans, we're the

punching bag for the robots during the

entire thing.

When are we going to get some revenge is

what I'm wondering.

And if you're going to tell me, oh, it's

hopeless, the humans can never win, the

robots are too powerful now, they've got

too much technology, there's no chance for

the humans to ever fight back, then what

is the point of the whole thing?

So yeah, those are my thoughts on The

Matrix Resurrections.

Not really a great start to a new trilogy,

which is what I'm assuming they're going

to make more movies based off of this,

because why would they only make one?

Not really a great movie.

It was kind of boring.

I found myself yawning several times

during the movie.

Keanu Reeves is just the same as he always

is.

He's not really a great actor.

If you've seen any movies he's in, he's

always like the same person.

John Wick, that movie where he's on a bus

that has a bomb on it.

Keanu Reeves is not a bad actor.

It's just the thing is he doesn't really

act.

He's just himself in every single movie.

He barely has any expressions.

He's just a bit of a dull actor compared

to that guy from How I Met Your Mother

who's in the movie as well.

Forgot his name.

He's got a massive forehead and he plays

as a therapist guy.

He's a much more interesting actor and he

has got a bigger range of emotions and

expressions.

He's more entertaining to watch.

Keanu Reeves is not really entertaining to

watch.

He's just like very bland.

Expressionless kind of robot-looking guy.

So yeah, unfortunately I have to give this

movie a very low 2 out of 10.

The fighting action scenes just gave me a

headache and weren't really impressive.

I can't remember any of the action

fighting scenes that made me go, whoa, I

can't believe he just did that, that was

so amazing.

And the story was just kind of meh.

The new characters were kind of meh as

well.

It's a bit like the new Spider-Man.

The new Spider-Man: No Way Home also just

brought back a load of characters from the

old movies And now The Matrix just

bringing back old characters for the sake

of nostalgia.

It's like they've run out of ideas for

movie stories now and they just bring back

the old characters.

I just feel like the movie industry as a

whole has just gone down so much.

Where's all the originality?

Can they just stop relying on bringing

back characters from our childhoods to try

and hit that nostalgia feeling?
