The Matrix Resurrections

[blackdog]

Dunno if you heard that after infinite rumours, they are making a new Matrix film. Actually, since the trailers are coming out, they must have already filmed (during pandemic?).

No Fishbourne this time though (afaik) wonder how they’ll justify that

Looks like a remix of the previous ones, first one especially

Did they ever say why no Morpheus?

As a long standing Matrix fan, I want it to be decent at least. But at the same time, kinda expecting the worst

I still haven't seen any of the films after the 1st one. I'm afraid they'll ruin The Matrix for me. I'm basically ignoring this one too.

[Minos]

I really hope I'm wrong, but there's a high chance it's gonna be just a nostalgic watered down remix of the old movies, like every other reboot these days

Trailer looks good, can’t wait to watch this! 

Silver lining if it sucks, at least Laurence Fishburne gets his revenge.

*pop* Speculation time

The Matrix has been reset, but the machines didn't start from zero. They just did a factory reset and prescribed stay dumb pills to the cast of the first.. Of course, their previous memories weren't entirely erased. They're still there, hidden in their minds, that's why Neo is having these surreal dreams. It's probably gonna be a take on reincarnation. 

Though, for that to be true, I guess one of the fan theories from the end of the trilogies would have to be also true. The theory is that even their post apocalyptic world isn't the real world, just another simulation. Well, if I remember correctly. It's been a while since I've watched anything matrix related.

I'm honestly fairly unhappy with this choice of music for the trailer, its a great song but its way on the nose and honestly feels like Zack Snyder picked the music (he has used it himself before). The Matrix had a great original soundtrack that was very influential back in the day and it would have been great to hear the "updated" version of that for 2021 but instead we get this very old and well known track.

[Radu]

If we're gonna complain, I'm personally not too sold on the art direction and effects.. but we'll see how it turns out.

Yeah i agree on that it has a real digital look to it, makes it look a bit more like a tvshow than a movie. I also really want it to be good, but this trailer doesnt give me alot of confidence.

On that note:

I watched about 1 minute of the trailer and was sold already. Doesn't look like a nostalgia fest (ala Disney Star Wars) but a proper reboot/continuation/expansion 

Looking forward to seeing where they will take this, lots of potential! 

[FMPONE]

Remember that lame ass, watered-down dragonball Z fighting from the last movie? I wonder if they have any new ideas action-wise. Some of the sequences they originated are still hard to top (the lobby scene, bullet-time, freeway chase). I hope they have some decent ideas and concepts there, otherwise it won’t feel like a real sequel

I bet you he’s not woke enough.

Trailer looks alright, I’m not particularly captivated, it’s lacking the wow factor of the original over the top action…

And it looks like everything has just been reset, so easy way out to get rid of Fishbourne. Doesn’t give me confidence they are trying to answer any of the questions left from the trilogy, rather than just repackaging the same ideas.

The replacement Morpheus looks like an annoying, discount, lookalike (as well as white rabbit seems to merge the random girl and Jada-Pinknett ). If you won’t cast the original actor(s) then just go and be fully original, instead of playing the “oh so this is new X character”.

Hope they can beat my pessimism, but given how shit Sense8 was I have zero expectations.
