[@roberteriksen6434]

I always understood it as they DID die, and we were following clones. It doesn't work either way at all, cause The One was supposed to be an amalgamation of unforseen errors in the system, and it doesn't really work if he can just build that...

The "homeless man" is Carrie-Anne Moss' real life husband. And Chad was Keanu's stunt double in the first movie. Also his name Chad has less to do with the type of character he is, and more to do with the fact that that's also the actor's name.

"Why are neo and trinity still younger than everyone else?" From what I remember in the moments between laughing my ass off; the new architect explains that the machines rebuilt Neo and Trinity with some crisper shit or something that makes equally 0 sense. but yes neo and trinity died at the end of the 3rd matrix, then the machines rebuilt them and discovered that their love for each other is so god damn strong that it creates enough energy to power the entire machine city, so they don't need to enslave all of humanity, just enough to keep trinity and neo close to each other inside the matrix BUT NOT TOO CLOSE or else they do the boom boom thing and blow up the matrix. That is all to say, I'm assuming that since they now depend of Neo and trinity to be the batteries they cant allow them to die so the machines magically unlocked human immortality to keep them young forever so that in 60 years they wouldn't be shit out of luck anyways. Or maybe they just deconstruct and reconstruct their real bodies over and over again to prevent aging. No, it doesn't make any sense.

The movie does explain this. After Neo died at the end of the third film, the machines literally rebuilt him over a period of several decades, which is why he has his eyes back, and it's also why he's only 20 years older and not 60 because his new physical body is actually younger than his original body. As for the extra neck parts, that's because the Matrix pod that Neo was plugged into was upgraded in some way and thus looks different.

It was only until the credits started rolling that I realized that wasn't happening. The whole film feels less like the logical continuation of the series and more like an afterthought added on well after the fact that has no good justification for its existence. If Neo sacrificing his life at the end of Revolutions doesn't scream finality then I don't know what does.

She should be devastated that the kids she loves aren't even real and has to figure out how to deal with that. Instead she's slightly mad because she got to work on motorcycles slightly less.

Yeah, I hated all of that. I'm also just really confused as to what "people" in the Matrix are "real" or not. 1. Some programs are basically real people with thoughts, feelings, goals, etc. They can even join humans in the real world in nanobot form. 2. Some of them are NPCs that seem to pretend to be real but turn into a mindless hivemind when Architect 2.0 wants them to. 3. There's Smith, which is supposed to be a rogue program, which doesn't really seem any different from the first type of program. 4. And then there's real humans in there who're sleeping in their pods. Given how the children are handled, I'd guess that they're the #2 type, but theoretically she could have still had her family in nanobot form, if they weren't just mindless shells to trick her into staying.

[@D0NU75]

Maybe someone will remember this along with me. In Superman The Animated Series, there was this episode of Clark waking up in Krypton, with a wife and kid and a seemingly normal life; no super powers, no obligations or anything he about his Earth adventures but still something feels odd to him. Long story short, Clark figures everything is an illusion caused by some parasite he had attached to him at the Fortress of Solitude. The part i wanna point out here is that when he has to tell his kid, who he still loved, that he, nor anything else was real, you can tell how much that breaks him. Trinity on the other hand, seems to believe miscarriage can still be a thing even years away from birth.

@@PenitusVoxIn the first movie, agents take over people's bodies so it isn't that weird to me they can force people to jump out windows. What's weirder is in the sequels they establish that there are living AI programs in the matrix which eventually become obsolete. Because they are AIs they would rather not get deleted (die), and therefore try to hide inside the matrix and may even help humans. This would be a really cool and interesting concept, but the way the Wachoski's implemented this idea was having a rogue program make a cake that gives a woman an orgasm then his crazy wife makes Neo make out with her in front of Trinity because she's jealous or something even though she's an AI.

This movie felt like a personal attack and like I was being bullied for appreciating something that had a lot of influence in my life. The original Matrix movies introduced me to philosophy. I learnt about Plato, I learnt about other religions. Ideas that as a young person inspired me to look at things differently, understand humanity and I took those films to heart as really influential media that expanded my understanding of the human condition, it's questions and it's ideas as a collective consciousness. This movie I ignored all the marketing to. I didn't want any spoilers. The thematic and existentially packed movies I saw were enough to give me trust that there would be something worth seeing this for. This movie literally made me buy an overpriced movie ticket to an IMAX screen based solely on the amazing work by everyone involved in the other movies (I had not bought a movie ticket in maybe 15 years). Then as I sat there mouth wide open at the sheer audacity to insult an audience the way it did... I looked around and everyone was eating it up. They were giggling at the hurr lol moments and even laughing at the things that were on the nose stupid. I knew then what was happening. The director was making fun of me. Pointing at me and saying hahah you actually respected media because it helped you branch off to read texts and understand philosophy and ACTUALLY thought I was trying to give you something to think about while also being entertaining? Well FUCK YOU! You wasted your life, you never should have tried to be smarter or grow intellectually and emotionally. You should have stayed in fucking line and committed to just being a dumb consumer who only wants the bottom of the barrel only then would you still be having fun. Like I felt that in the theater. I felt Lana fucking Wazowski making the conscious decision to shit all over an entire generation of people who were inspired by the movies to discover very amazing works of art and philosophy and religion through those movies.... JUST to make a personal and selfish joke on her politics. It was a front for a mean and cruel personal fucking vendetta that took the heart and soul out of the importance out of everything. I did literally cry in the theater and how much it hurt. At how I was being shown how stupid and meaningless I am as a person who took the movies as an avenue for great inspiration to explore humanity. She is like a person who installed a sand pit in her garden. Then watched her children build sand castles and enjoy themselves. Only to walk outside and kick the fuck out of what they were making because they are dumb for getting enjoyment out of it. Like could you imagine becoming an amazing animator from watching animation and studying it and really making it a part of your life THEN applying for a job at Pixar and them being like "OMG you ACTUALLY like cartoons?

Scream 5: the Screamening was also pretty self indulgent & too long but somehow less of both than this Matrix movie. It's been a good six months for nostalgia.

The main characters aren’t 60 years older Bc the main villain’s whole plan on “more efficient energy” or whatever for the matrix was to literally reconstruct neo and trinity’s dead bodies and structure the matrix around them, since they had such a strong bond or whatever that made for better electricity.

Why do you think they have all of those tubes attached to them? For shits and giggles?

@@rars0n you're wrong. the human battery concept does make sense. stop thinking about it in terms of OUR understanding of science, and realize that the machines exist in a different time period, and are using very advanced learnings and technologies. the matrix puts a lot of emphasis on how powerful experience and emotion are, and obviously the machines have utilized some form of alien-like tech that can use that power and convert it into usable energy. the humans in the pods aren't "sleeping", they're very much awake, their minds are that is. they aren't dreaming, hence why you die in the real world if you die in the matrix, whether youre plugged in on the Nebuchadnezzar or the machines have you jacked in on a pod tower, it makes no difference, result is the same. death. not a dream.

Explanation of age difference: Trinity and Neo were actually dead for a few decades before being resurrected (for some reason) as the age they were when they died (for some reason), and then allowed to age naturally (for some reason) even though the Matrix apparently needs them (for some reason).

[@diegogutierrez1997]

When the trailer for this thing dropped, I honestly thought they were going to justifi it by saying that the world outside of the matrix is a second matrix where the humans live thinking they can beat the machines (or that neo did). At least that way you can say that Neo and Trinity didn't die and they just got rebooted into the next update of the matrix to keep the cycle going.

A hearty shout out to our boy, the legendary Yuen Woo Ping (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Kill Bill, and a ton of other martial arts movies), who choreographed the fight scenes in the first three Matrix films and help elevate them to iconic status. The Wachowski's homage to the art of wuxia is obvious, what with the focused, single shot slow motion coverage, minimal cuts in the fights, and really letting things play out while the camera rolls. The fourth, on the other hand, was as bad as Taken or some bargain bin Steven Seagal video, with frenetic edits in just a single scene, cutting at the moment of physical contact and destroying whatever intensity the fight would've delivered. This alone really made it a generic, unremarkable actioner. Compare that clip of Neo fighting Seraph from Reloaded with the one with new Morpheus, for starters (they tried to do a Roger Deakins 'fighting in silhouette' shot but failed spectacularly). As you've mentioned, there simply was no sense of wonder, awe, or amazement in this Dumb Matrix. And by God, how Lana did the Merovingian bad. Sad, overall.
