However, it remains uncertain if Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne-Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving, and Jada Pinkett Smith will return
DON’T! Tell a different story set in the universe. Preferably at a different time. The stories from the Animatrix could be explored further.

I haven’t even seen the fourth one. Don’t really see the need to.

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.
Ginger666@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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…

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

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?
Vinny_93@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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.

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.
