Matrix: Resurrections

I almost brought myself to watch it last night... but I watched the last ep of Hawkeye instead.
My favourite comment on the new Matrix so far has been "I was expecting it to be bad, but it exceeded my expectations. It was worse than bad."

Unfortunately it just seems to be an unfocused mess. I would have rather wanted another Animatrix or hell a video game over this mess.

my uncle and mother are going to be watching this tonight on hbo max, but I just downloaded it via usenet and nzbhydra2. I'll get around to seeing it, just been fiddling with the wii all day. tomorrow, I'll see if I can solve retail discs not working (only burns of both cube and wii works).

I tried to watch it last night, but found it so bad that I had to quit half way through. Imo it was predominantly boring, with a smattering of cringe dialogue, and more frenetic cgi action than was ever required.
...if I get drunk enough over crimbo maybe I'll try to finish it.

This movie est really a shame for the matrix trilogy.

Hm I actually like it, it is quite meta and poke fun at itself

Jessica Henwick is the only redeeming thing about the film. Poking fun at itself didn't pay off, its cringey

So, I sat down and watched it in its entirety (without resorting to alcohol to make it through)... and it's bad.
Annoyingly it does have a few ideas that are almost very clever, but it fumbles the execution of everything and just left me shaking my head, muttering "WTF?".
My advice to anyone that really has to see it is to pirate it - do not pay money for this shit!
