  The only good thing about it is the subtext of “fuck you” to the film industry. The entire film was made out of spite and that is dripping from the script.

    Yes, but it wasn’t really subtext. There is a scene where they literally say warner Bros would have done this with or without us…

    But yeah, fuck the film industry for the most part.

    Idr the last time a decent movie came out…

      There was no "us". Lilly minded her business.

    I don’t think ‘subtext’ is an accurate way to describe the most blatant and in your face approach to getting a point across.

      First 30 mins takes place in a studio full of creatives watching their life’s work get torn to shreds, rehashed and commodified by out of touch executives. Idk, pretty subtle.

    Yea it’s definitely a unique vibe to watch a high-budget action film that basically doesn’t really want to exist and is chucking a fit about it.

    For my money, as a fan of the original (being old enough to see it in the cinemas and experience as essentially my generation’s star wars IMO) … I actually enjoyed watching it once I realised it wasn’t really a proper film but some sort of riff on a feeling.

    Additionally, I actually appreciated the core in-universe premise of the film, which I think gets forgotten or overshadowed by everything else about the film.

  There’s a fourth??!

  I was reading this headline and thought they would make a fourth now. Guess I missed something, and apparently that’s not a bad thing.

  Why don’t they make NEW stories instead of squeezing the old ones?

    I think at this point, the film industry just makes whatever and as long as people show up to the theatre and party their streaming bills, they get away with it.

    From a data perspective, we love reboots and franchising because we all watch em.

    There is no 4th matrix movie.

    There is either a complete abomination of a thing masquerading as a matrix film, or a wonderful bit of protest art mocking the big studios. Which it is depends on your view.

      It is absolutely dripping with hate for the studio. I’m honestly shocked it was released in that state.

      For those who haven’t seen it, the story has Neo and Trnity having been returned to the Matrix, where Neo is famous for having created “The Matrix” franshise (initially as a game).

      Now the software company is out of ideas, so they’ve decided they need to reboot the Matrix and tell Neo that the project is moving forward with his input or without it, but that if he does it they’ll give him creative control.

      Then more stuff happens and it gets worse, but it has zero subtlety about how and why the film exists and that nobody involved really wanted to make it. So they make the best of a bad situation bh throwing the bird at the studio.

      I appreciated that part. I highly recommend pirating the film so that the studios don’t make any money off it.

    If you count Animatrix as number 2 I guess.

  I watch around 30 minutes and that was enough for me.

  It was too painfully blatant in a way that was the opposite of entertaining.

  You shouldn’t either. It is horrible.
