The Matrix Revolutions brings back Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Ann Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving, and other humans and machines to conclude the original Matrix trilogy in a way almost no one wanted. It left a bad taste in our mouth that we can only hope will be washed out when the Matrix Resurrections comes out in 2 weeks!

[@HughMungoose]

I liked the scene with the Architect. The perfect diction, the way he pronounces each and every word so precisely, but it's not forced or exaggerated. It's like a reflection of the perfection the program is trying to achieve.

[@aforty1]

I agree. Most people hated the architect maybe because they got lost in the words but I loved that scene.

[@chanceneck8072]

I agree. I even like both sequels more than the original. I know I'm alone with this. Also, I intentionally say "both", because a third sequel doesn't exist......

[@baddmatt9588]

The problem with freeing all the humans at once from the Matrix is they would all die off due to lack of food and resources.

[@tylerdurden788]

Also just pure shock

[@LauRoman]

So, i always thought Neo's powers outside the matrix would be due to his interface implants, like wifi vs ethernet, never something magical. The flying squid machines have it. The reason other people don't have it is because they haven't broken the encryption yet.

[@chanceneck8072]

I always thought it was just because he was the anomaly. No one before him just ever TRIED what he did. Meaning stopping the sentinels with his bare hands.

[@chanceneck8072]

I think, it was ingrained in the sentinels program all along, NEVER to attack the anomaly....

[@MrGunpocket]

the smith scene with the cookies is the best scene in the movie.

[@KrissKania]

I always understood Neo being able to see in the real world while blind, and being able to control the machines etc as evidence that what we think the real world is, is also a simulation. Neo isn't just the chosen one in The Matrix, he is also able to see the fiction that is the real world. When he meets the architect and realises the world he thought was real isn't, the story from the first movie repeats. Him being aware of the world around him being a simulation enables him to control it, just like that first time he had to jump between buildings in the first movie. He has to know it, and believe I'm pretty surprised you started to explain it as magic, I always thought this was the obvious explanation. But maybe I'm missing something, it has been a long while since I watched them

[@AustinHargett39]

The "real world" is also a matrix is why neo can see the source code. Either that or the real world is just a separate portion of the matrix with some sort of dampening in place.

[@r.daneel.90]

That should've been the plot of Matrix 4. The "real world" was just another Matrix for the people that were not happy enough with a calm and normal life in the 1st one. Basically, another map in a bigger sandbox. So, by being "revolutionary", those people are just entering in another fantasy world that accommodates to their perspectives to please them, but still a fantasy. That would've been really interesting, like the plot in 1984, wanting to join the "rebels" is just another way to control people. But yeah, of course it didn't happen. It's too complicated for today's Hollywood Remasters...

[@Eagle3302PL]

@@r.daneel.90 This also would've let them hand wave away so many contrivances they created, e.g. humans are a useless power source, Neo has powers outside the Matrix, machines never just built nuclear power plants, machines didn't just go to space, how is there no physical evidence of previous Zions, why the machines have a face god, why are they so generally inept, and many more.

[@chrisdear1033]

@20:50- Glitch in the matrix.

[@DJReflect]

Riley - we have to jack him in to jack him out. James - Trinity, you're up! Fucking killed me!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@DizzyBusy]

Just watched Resurrection, can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. The bf and I had a long conversation... on the way home... in our "carpool"

[@idktho463]

1:03:30 "Zipperhead" (not a good word to use) wasn't shorter than other terms either. Surely James has encountered a few nicknames that are coined for reasons other than brevity?? That's the only one I can think of at the moment, but they come up kind of often.

[@crowaust]

I always thought of the train station as an interface layer from Networking (like a Router/Firewall) so basically the unknown external program Neo got quarantined and had to be inspected and released, lol. As for how Neo was able to interact with Machines in the real world an perceive them, I thought that it was like a Genetic mutation of the One and gave him a Electromagnetic organ of sorts, kind of like migratory birds have a organ that is basically a magnetic compass.

[@sovereign1160]

This channel is my favorite content from LMG these days. Please never stop!

[@dav2mai]

The UE5 Matrix demo doesn't require a super fast SSD like the one in current gen. consoles. As reported by Eurogamer and Digital Foundry, it uses 10MB per frame and the consoles only run it at 30 fps.

[@jrock-hk7rm]

2.3 sounds about right for Resurrections.

[@idktho463]

1:02 Sati is being smuggled to the machine world because she'll be deleted in the matrix (for purposelessness). I don't think it's confirmed whether she also wouldn't be allowed to exist in the machine city, or she just isn't allowed to travel to it (maybe as an extension of the matrix's rule - "you need to be deleted because you're purposeless, and we'll prevent you from trying to leave and avoid that fate" or whatever), or both. Actually, I think just very little transit is allowed between the matrix and machine city, for specific reasons, and they're not allowed to leave. Particularly, I think the parents' purposes involve them being in the matrix, which is part of why they're not supposed to leave. But the reason that only she is being smuggled at this point, and her parents aren't, is that the Merovingian's smuggling deal was only for her - maybe they could've paid triple for all three to leave, and maybe the Merovingian would love for them to "save up" and buy a trip from him later. But for whatever reason, they essentially bought one ticket for their daughter, and their daughter gets to ride the train. That part is simple.

[@MusicByAngels]

Appreciate the Diablo references

[@myztik5716]

Neo was 'jacked' into the train station when he was brought aboard the ship. He then jacks in officially in order to enter the actual Matrix and talk with the Oracle. That's why it shows them taking a jack out of Neo, they just didn't show the transition

[@ericwoll]

You guys read WAAAAY too much into the eyes of the oracle thing. The Merovingian was basically saying hey, go kill your most valuable ally and give me her eyes and I'll give you Neo because he knows they wouldn't kill the oracle since she is so important to them. It was basically making a false bargain as he had no intention of giving them back the only tool they could use to easily defeat the Merovingian.

[@Corvaire]

The Oracles eyes represented Administrative Privileges. ;O)-

[@vikata5499]

Well about music it was from Upanishads. Philosophy of it affected them they said.

[@WPPatriot]

I think you're reading too much into the Eye's of the Oracle thing. It was just an incredibly heavy handed way of reaffirming the Merovingian's douche bag status while allowing Trinity to blow the momentary cease fire out of the water in a way that not even the most uninterested viewer could in any way consider unreasonable.

[@Corvaire]

The train station is purgatory. The train is a digital version of the boat crossing the river.

[@mabbaa]

"Tostada" HAhahahahhahaha

[@ramonmata]

So what's the air? A program? Why can we feel it and not see it? Maybe that's the way to connect the matrix world with other programs.

[@tylerarkin3376]

I don't know if you saw my comment on the Spiderman video but I really appreciate the spoiler warning for the new Matrix in this one. I was able to get my volume down in time and nothing was spoiled. You guys are awesome!

[@justanotherfollower4693]

The fighting felt slow, like they wanted to make contact to feel“realistic ” I guess but they didn’t want to hurt each other in the choreography but Jesus it just felt bad, I can barely remember the fights to be honest, I didn’t even get to the end of the film, the tower just felt weird with the exiles or whatever, they just threw em off the edge and they were done like what is this ducking smash bros 😂😭, and the blanking French guy. It took a minute to realise he was from the trilogy

[@buzzybeepopman2009]

I like the fight between neo and agent smith and the ending but before that I wasn’t the biggest fan of this film but that’s just me

[@blackasthesky]

Whoa, I don't think it's *that* bad. It's not great, by no means it's great. But it's ok in my opinion.

[@iana.3388]

Watching this after the podcast on Matrix 4 and they're on the part where they're throwing predictions and getting hopeful for the sequel Me: _oh no_

[@joshwilliams8863]

"It's inevITABLEE" Major Zim vibes there.

[@jorelc6]

I'm gonna like this video and you can see it in your extension thingy ;)

[@iamjuan5596]

The Matrix is an excellent movie, Reloaded is not so great but still good. Revolutions make the past 2 movies infinitely better, it completes the story and adds so much to the lore. I love Revolutions. I always watch these movies all together in a day or two. When im done watching The Matrix i feel unsatisfied, i want more and by the time Revolutions ends im very satisfied with the conclusion of the story. Edit: Added a paragraph.

[@DizzyBusy]

Revolutions was okay. Ending was good, the way there was rough though. Reloaded shouldn't have happened. I wished Reloaded had been a feature length The Second Renaissance instead

[@chrisl8292]

Agreed! I also enjoyed all of the originals. And this ep is just kind of the worst... can't even get through it. It's just them dumping on the movie. Super juvenile.

[@6sixtysix]

When are you doing matrix 4????

[@chanceneck8072]

They should have named the 4th one Matrix Rebooted. Computer term.... 👍

[@shashankaj1750]

I'm gonna be very disappointed if they don't do arcane after Spiderman

[@avace917]

I think Smith might've said "the purpose of life is to end" because Neo JUST killed Bane a couple of scenes prior. I'm guessing Smith felt that

[@HitumiAkki]

I really like your podcast and most of the time I find at least some of my views and arguments are represented but this was terrible episode for me. You all dump on the movie from start to finish just for laughs and it feels like you didn't even try to understand the deeper concepts and ideas this movie is full of. I hate this episode. Keep up the good work, hopefully this one is the one bad for me in many very good episodes. ✌

[@kshitijkumar4383]

17:28 to make Matrix 4 haha

[@Corvaire]

I liked it also Riley, not as much as the first but if I had not watched the other two it would higher on my list. ;O)- Also, I gaurentee if it were an option, many people would choose a matrix over RL, that's why entertainment is so.. entertaining.

[@SimplyMavAgain]

So, maybe I totally misinterpreted Agent Smith's monologue in the first movie, but to me his statement about the point of life being to end totally makes sense. In the first movie it seems like his goal was to die. He hates the stench, the everything around him. He really just wants it all to end. So when he comes back in Matrix 2, seemingly unable to die, the only alternative is to absolutely take over everything and in that way cause everything around him to cease to exist. Practically getting rid of "life's stench" by becoming the equivalent of the heat death of the universe. So, to him the point of everything is to end and he's the means to that end.

[@akshar8160]

Please watch and review "3 idiots"

[@imthestein]

See, I actually like this one better than Reloaded. I just could have done without the Zion scenes all together. But I enjoy every scene in the Matrix and when they’re on the ships and go to the Machine City. The Train Scene is also one of my favorite scenes but then I prefer the talking to the action so maybe that’s why I like this one more than Reloaded

[@imthestein]

As for the train station, it’s Mobil Ave where Mobil is an anagram of limbo. Also, I don’t know why no one talks about the Through The Looking Glass metaphors in this and Reloaded

[@bridgest843]

Key to enjoying the new movie is low expectations. Great as always guys 👍

[@Bearadactyle]

Train station is the trash bin before they are actually deleted forever

[@PLDrums1]

The ship is actually called the Mjolnir, Hammer its nickname. Not that I particularly give a crap, given that its a disappointingly mediocre film.

[@chanceneck8072]

Why "wrong"? I love this movie....

[@taddawesome]

Neo's brain implant has a WiFi chip, nothing more complicated

[@TwigsDee]

I took Smiths weirdness as part of a problem with his program from consuming a real world human body. Reality messing up his coding.

[@ElimiNate117]

Anyone else thought for the first few minutes they were reviewing matrix resurrections? The one that just came out. That one's also a shit stain and I hope they do it soon

[@psychopopdesign]

Should be called The Matrix: Honky Version

[@avace917]

I already know by the title that this is gonna be hysterical. That said, the Super Burly Brawl alone made this movie worth it for me despite the several misses this movie makes.

[@taranjk1]

Lol the first comment on this video was a fake Mr.Beast bot. Anyways I really wanna watch the new matrix when it releases, currently though I don't know how to feel about watching a movie where all I can think of is Keanu and his Unreal beauty.

[@MxODraconis]

The end of Revolutions was a tie in to the Matrix Online game. Which extended the universe cannon, for example Morpheus died in the "Rumbaar water treatment facility". So players were those that have been able to exit the Matrix and then return to play as a MMO.

[@4Everlast]

Still muchhh better then the new one.

[@jrock-hk7rm]

The new movie, Resurrections, is a total failure; extremely lazy writing, breaks my heart.

[@Carboxylated]

I liked Revolutions however I will admit it took me about 12 years, multiple viewings with about 4 years apart and my first time watching it...it put me to sleep. However over these years and recently re-watching it, its not as bad as everyone says it is but its not even close to the 7, 8, 9 , 10 range. I give it 5 out of 10.

[@Arander92]

It’s an 8 for me

[@Illindi]

Matrix within the Matrix, that's how he interacts with the machines. At least that's how I understood it.

[@kitnoman]

For me, basically if it's not a "matrix movie" the 3rd one is a decent movie that I would finish watching if I stumble on it on HBO but otherwise would not care about. However, since I already have a connection with the 1st movie, I just watched it to complete the story.

[@elwick_photo]

Here's a thought, when they broke into the merevingians place, the whole get past the guards, be the only one with guns, they got to him and everyone drew guns on them 🤷‍♂️👍

[@ClellBiggs]

I'm not defending this movie because it's definitely not good, but the reason Neo has power in the real world is pretty simple. The humans that are part of the Matrix have a fairly large amount of machine tech in their head. Just look at how far the jack is inserted into their brains. A part of that tech is a wireless transmitter that the machines use to keep track of them. It's basically the same as the chips we use to track animals. Because of the anomalous code Neo had in his brain he was able to reverse the transmitter. This is also how he was able to disable the sentinels in Reloaded.

[@MonolithStudiosMelbourne]

I definitely have this as head canon… but god damn is it convenient haha

[@ThaSandwitch]

Sounds like you didn't like it cause you didn't understand it. Any movie that bruises the delicate ego of its audience draws ire

[@DizzyBusy]

And your ego is obviously so strong, your super-ego is barely hanging in there?

[@iancarlsen7213]

Ease off the compression on your mics, boys

[@doublezeroun]

for me the logical thing is that Neo has no magical power, but because he has been coded (by the machine) to be the one, any machine outside (or inside) the matrix have an internal kill-switch to self-destruct if they interfere with him. when we see Neo's vision while blind, it's just his imagination, he's blind, he just thinks he sees... he can beat Smith because he moves around and speaks (classical villain trait) while fighting... echolocation and ability to sense movement is a thing for traumatic blindness. just a thought, the movie is very average, but to me the lore feels OK

[@joshallred1829]

Haha riley litteraly had to catch himself from saying " you cant replace a black woman with anyone eles" hahahaha this world is broken

[@redhammer92]

uwu

[@NecroMorrius]

People constantly misinterpret what happens in Matrix 3. The matrix is a cycle, like a virtual machine returning to a checkpoint, the code is green. When neo breaks the cycle by making a different choice "for love" (urgh) he gains the ability to see the gold source code. The source code is the code the robots and robot city run on. This is why he can control and converse with the robots in the real world. Not because he “takes his powers into the real world”. He can’t fly or bend reality. He basically gets a Bluetooth upgrade to allow root access to the machine code (which is entirely different to the Matrix code). The humans have all got machine parts and code inside them (the ports on the back of their head etc). They're not entirely human. So Neo gains enlightenment by understanding his true nature as a hybrid being and then uses it to strike a deal with the machines to kill their common enemy, Agent Smith, in exchange for a truce. Most people don't even realise Agent Smith doesn't work for the machines by the end of the first film. Also I think a lot of people subconsciously didn't like 2 and 3 as much because they have loads of non-white characters in pivotal roles, and it confused them because they're so used to seeing non-white characters be expendable and unimportant to the story. So whenever Neo isn't on the screen they stop caring. It's crazy how diverse the cast is for a movie from the early 2000s.

[@RobVespa]

The majority of people who didn't enjoy 2 and 3 was because they aren't good movies - Not because they're stupid or racists. Your comment makes me feel tired and sad. Heck, the first film is overrated. It's derivative and the script is often just, well, stupid. It also hasn't aged well. Now, as always, YMMV and this has nothing to do with how much someone enjoys the films. Facts are facts. There are many essays out there on this very topic. Pick any of them. All this typed, I like it... and, as an aside, think the Ws best film was Bound.

[@PrimusStorm]

I think everyone needs to just focus on the movies, not connect into the comics, the anime movie, or the video game. I feel like the storyline is super obvious to understand and anyone who wants to hate on it in 2021, clearly didn’t understand the movie in the early 2000’s and they won’t understand it at all. I have to disagree with all of the bad ratings. Matrix revolutions is one of the movies I’ll ever give 9/10. That being said, I gave Avengers endgame 9/10 and I also gave infinity war 10/10. 🤷🏽 in overall, I’ll give Matrix 7/10 and matrix reloaded 7.5/10. Reloaded was so long but I made it and I understood the lore now FINALLY.

[@RobVespa]

"anyone who wants to hate on it in 2021, clearly didn’t understand the movie" - Wow.
