And that Chinese chic was bad casting....she looked like a Dyke the whole movie....

At least Trinity in the others had some sex appeal

I'm not the best person to comment, because I was never a super fan of the original trilogy, but I thought the movie was "OK" and it's getting so much absolute hate that the contrarian in me feels compelled to defend it a little :troll:
just started and...
:dahell: they really diving head in first with that self-aware meta shyt

they actually talking about how they made movies and WB greenlit a 4th...:russ: the fukk

this sounds like some jay and silent bob strike back shyt, or the disaster artist...movies about making movies

First movie I thought of was "Wes Craven's New Nightmare".

That’s the point.
The movie is a direct rejection of what came before it while engaging with the nostalgia for the movie. It’s a modern day gremlins 2 in that it subverts everything about original, plays on the audiences expectations, wrestles with the corprotate requirements, and the creator saying “this is what this means to me. Your feelings be damned.”

The whole flick doesn’t work for me but I do very much fukk with that angle and approach.

I would also compare it to "Cabin in the Woods"...

I think this movie was missing the other wachowski, maybe that's why this film felt off to aot of people...:francis: just an idea. To me this movie was ok but it was missing that sense of darkness the original had. You also can't please everyone. Also just wanted to add there was alot of dope ideas that deserved to be fleshed out and was touched upon like the machine civil war. :ohhh: what happened to the arctecht. Why didn't they released the humans as promised?!. Just alot of good shyt not answered in depth

Here's my "Cabin in the Woods" type interpretation of what happened.
So, the original machines in charge of the first Matrix actually kept their bargain, and started letting humans go free. The problem was, when enough humans were released, there literally wasn't enough power to keep the Machine City running.

So, that's when the machine civil war broke out, and a new group of machines took over. These are the ones that The Analyst refers to as "The Suits". The Analyst is running the day-to-day Matrix, but he's serving under higher powers that we never acutually see.

The Analyst isn't about "revenge" or punishing the humans, he's 100% about pleasing The Suits by maximizing the power output of the remaining humans in the new Matrix. So, the new version of the Matrix is redesigned by him to use psychology to maximize the power output of the people inside of it.

The Suits are kind of like the "Old Gods" from Cabin In The Woods. In this case, maximizing the power output is about doing things like increasing the equivalent to "ratings" and "clicks" on the modern-day internet. The "meta" part of it is that, in the new Matrix, Social Media power is like an analog for the electrical power that The Suits need to keep the machines running, and the Analyst is the program that figured out how to best maximize that power.

It's not really super deep philosophically, but I think that's kind of what they were going for.

edit:
Another thing I just thought of.
The idea of keeping Trinity and Neo close together, without actually getting together, is based on the old "Moonlighting" TV idea that you maximize ratings by having the lead male and female characters flirt with each other, but never actually sleep with each other

Nice.

I didn’t even catch the Analyst using social media tactics of engagement. But that also makes sense why train scene and the coffee shop scene both used bots/trolls to keep Trinity and Neo in the Matrix as they were about to disengage.

I like your theory about the Machine War cause it means the dynamics of the OG trilogy mattered. The main thing I hated about the New Star Wars was the First Order repeated all the mistakes of Empire and brought nothing new. And OG trilogy had no effect on the war.


The part about the Matrix reverting to the past version. Instead of making something new.

The analyst decided to use neo and trinity to power the new matrix using the energy "anomaly" as a battery or a powerful magnet... that was the concept i thought of when he was explaining it. :ld: just so much stuff they could have touched on with the machine war and the space in between. :francis: just wasted opportunity...

I mean you’re kind of speaking to what the movie was talking about.

THE MATRIX has become so much to different people.

The first movie was just about a dude trying to get out a proverbial box to me.

You talking about machine wars is the stuff I hated from Reloaded and Revolutions.

Seen it Thursday in the theater, not bad, not great. Makes me wanna watch the originals again cause I forgot a lot of what happened in M3. I will probably cop on 4K Blu-ray when it comes out just for sound and picture quality.

The action scenes had no weight to them. That motorcycle scene with Neo and Trinity looked like they were cruising. That scene could of been done way better. I liked the casting of the shorty from Iron Fist. Neo looked washed the whole movie with that wack ass force field move he only used. Trinity looked like she still got it.
