I really wish you'd put a spoiler alert at the beginning for anyone who hasn't seen it, and/or waited a week before posting it. You may as well have played the movie in its entirety in making this list.

Spoiler alert in this video. Y’all pretty much give everything away. So glad I watched it last night.

[@salty82ndveteran]

You missed a HUGE DETAIL!!! It was a complete slap in the face to "True Matrix" fans who watched the originals, played the video games, read the comics, and this is the best Wachowski can do? And the ending was understandable in Matrix, with Neo flying off. But an exact copy of that and ALL THE OTHER LINES/SCENES! Stop kissing up to WB Daddy and call it what it is: a wasted opportunity to bring life back in the world the Matrix created in the summer of 1999, not this pile of 💩💩💩

I'm pretty sure you're wrong about any pandemic reference. "The Viral Agent" is clearly Agent Smith who like a computer virus spread and took over the entire matrix.

Not sure I can explain this but I'l try anyway. Tom AKA Neo wanted to work on his new game Binary, instead of working on Matrix 4 which was all about him being "The One." The new game/this movie is about Binary or Two so in this new movie there isn't the One but the Two.

[@Craig_Narramoore]

I'm sure we all rewatched the trilogy leading up to seeing M4. The whole "only dangerous when together" point is clear to see in the three films. We see the lengths they go to for each other. It should have surprised no one and if there isn't any more films after this one it is a much better ending to the whole story than Revolutions.

Another funny bit: about half the main cast of Sense8, a Netflix series produced by the Wachowski sisters, is in the film: the actors who played Capheus, Will and Daniela play Seq, Berg and Lexy from the Mnemosine crew; the actors who played Wolfgang also plays that Io guard who fanboys over Neo; the actress who played Amanita, as well as the guy who played Raj, both appear in the "Matrix" game development team scene.

[@AgentChachi]

“Knuckle up” was from the first trilogy, where they said it wearing the mech suits to fight the incoming sentinels. It didn’t have to do with the pandemic.

[@guillermovaccarezza7105]

I have to admit that I'm fine with the new take on the story, making it meta-self referenced. I think this approach is a lot more original than trying to carbon copy the 1st Matrix and make a direct , linear continuation of the story which inherent concepts were based on a cyberpunk commentary on end of the century corporate America. 20 years have passed and the world, culturally and socially, has changed, so the writers had to adapt and come up with something new, based on the old. Fine with that, HOWEVER, the Matrix 1 is, and will forever be, a milestone in the art film making, whereas Matrix 4 is just a pasable, fun film, but that's about it. it's as if the parodic, self-referenced approach, brighter tone and excesive over-exposition prevent the film from becoming more than just a revisionist exercise.

"Knuckle up" was a callback to The Matrix Revolutions

[@starella.]

*here's what I liked:* - the cinematography - Keanu and Carrie Anne's chemistry - the cast was really great - the concept - the action scenes - the nostalgia of the original matrix movies - Keanu Reeves *dislikes:* - pacing is too quick near the end - storyline isn't that great compared to the original - didn't have the original vibes from the movie - talking parts kinda boring - action was cool but not as good or iconic as the original - nothing too memorable in this movie - the plot of just saving Trinity seems too simple for such a complex movie - not as good as I was expecting it to be but still fun to watch - villains are weak and the new agent Smith isn't as evil or as iconic as the original

[@kadeemb1501]

I AGREE!

[@doctordoom4458]

Unpopular opinion: I thought Jonathan Groff did a pretty decent job as Smith, the only problem was that he was cast under Hugo Weaving's shadow and that there wasn't much of a point to recast the agent when Groff could've played a different character. I feel as this is a huge disservice to Hugo's performance in the franchise, to Groff and the iconic villian.

I think it was a call for people to wake up. The message I got from the movie - people are giving up on fighting for freedom. We allow to be controlled because either we are scared or we want to keep living in our comfort zone. We don't like to make an effort. We sell our freedom to avoid complications in our live. You can see it now. It happens very slowly... but eventually we will also loose our comfort zone.

Too many things bothered me to say this movie was great. I'd say it was top 2 of the series, the Matrix being the best. Problems were, Why was Agent Smith back? His program was purged at the end of 3, aka, deleted. If they can just be brought back then why was that woman program whining about losing her parent's programs? Neil Patrick Harris's character had the power to rewind time, yet he only used it once? I thought Agents were these OP programs and only Neo could beat, yet the random human goons take some out like they are nothing. And the new "Swarm mode" was very stupid as well. The swarms was just cannon fodder for the humans. How is a swarm ever better than a handful of Agents? lol. Rant over, I don't want this response to be super long.

To be really honest with you, I have enjoyed every second of The Matrix Resurrections with their references, easter eggs, incredible acting and amazing narrative including a trip down memory lane. Also, the thought that Lana used the film to be a videogame has a lot to cover from The Game Awards where Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss introduced the demo of Matrix Awakens which is cool. The problem, however, is that the future of this film is uncertain because it's not a movie, it's an event but a movie nonetheless. I know that some people will beg to differ with my review here but the secret for these films is not just to watch them, it's to feel them and emphatize with them, take the liberty to find the meaning of the whole story. It's just my legitimate opinion. All i'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

It seemed as if I was watching "Friends" for a while. 4)Nobody died. 5)Fighting style was SLOW-MOTION. Where is the SNAPPYNESS AND QUICKINESS OF "MATRIX" ??? 6)Bullets ? No prestigious bullet scenes in this one. 7)Morpheus character was a joke. I don't even remember the names of the new characters. I didn't care. A disaster that didn't have to do with "Matrix".

[@PetrivanWyk]

Yeah, the postcredit scene could've been used to set up the sequel. The only let-down for me of the film.

She's still partly there in Agent Smith before he remembers he's Agent Smith. You can see the way he talks, very nicely and comforting, to deliver news you don't wanna hear, all while smoking a cigarette.

[@h.c4898]

I think Sati (Priyanka) is the new Oracle for this reboot. The old one got assimilated by Smith along with Seraph (the Chinese dude).

[@mlggamer5296]

By the way it's interesting as well that when the trailer came out I kind of guessed that his "boss" was agent Smith in a new form. Hearing him yell "mr. Anderson!" one more time made the movie for me

[@troyevitt2437]

Yeah, but this actor should have understudied Hugo Weaving the way Ian Bliss did in M. III. When Agent Smith reverse-hacked into the real world and possessed Bane, Bliss spoke like Weaving, both of them British doing a North American accent, inflecting in that meticulous way Agent Smith did.

[@claranguematio6717]

The analyst remains the character that blew my mind , his sass and his powers in this new matrix where just top notch, Neil Patrick Harris bodied this role. The other thing that blew my mind even though its mostly an emotional pull is the actors from Sense 8 and the scene where bugs slightly replaces Trinity like in Sense 8.

[@PadreDePato]

Movie has no stakes. No one dies or seems like they might. Unlike the first movie, which is incomparably better

[@iamrobbyd]

i was really surprised by how much fun i had watching this movie, especially when trinity wakes up and joins the fight in the coffee shop. i was a little unsure of smith being recasted but as soon as i heard groff yell “MR. ANDERSOOONNN” i was sold

"Knuckle up" is a reference from the third film. The humans would "knuckle up" when getting their mechs ready to fight the sentinels

The Matrix Resurrection = Sense8 Reunion

[@Urlastnerve]

Wachoski already said that this movie wasn’t ever planned or seriously thought out to begin with. They wrote it when they were going through a sad time and someone read it and forced them to make it the new Matrix movie. I wouldn’t dig too deep into thinking this is some existential masterpiece. The movie was barely fun. Also shouldn’t get your hopes up for another trilogy. Lana as zero interest in doing so.

[@cerberus01]

It's actually pretty obvious with the scenes when talking about Warner Bros asking for a sequel of a trilogy, or that it took 20 years to find Neo.

[@Axolotl_Mischief]

Yeah it was completely unneccessary. As a huge Matrix fan, I disliked it's cheap parody feel.

[@tylerdordon99]

It felt like a bad first draft screenplay tbh. I was in disbelief at how awful this is. Almost no redeeming qualities

[@tflyer90]

“Knuckle Up” has nothing to do with Covid it’s a reference to Matrix Revolutions. Captain Mifune says that line MULTIPLE times during the invasion of Zion

[@tuckerbowen4626]

here's the one thing i don't get about the movie: why do they get in and out of the Matrix using mirrors now? i mean, i get that they needed something to replace phone booths, AND that it ties into the 'Alice In Wonderland' themes that the series has always had, but I mean from a technical standpoint. with phone lines it makes sense because they're a literal connection to the computer, but mirrors are just surfaces that reflect light.

[@TalentCaldwell]

That “Wake Up” end credits cover was TERRIBLE. Why not just use the actual song or the trailer’s orchestral version?

[@JoeSiegler]

2:06 - They’ve been using facemasks in Japan years before COVID-19. Given they were in Tokyo at the time I did not see that as a night to current time so I just saw it as a nod to where they were.

I just enjoyed watching Neo and Trinity becoming 'one' again after shedding their 'other' lives! I'll leave all the other details to The Matrix nerds!

[@danamarvelstar]

Something I liked was the fact whenever they couldn’t get one of the OG actors (except for the stars of course), they come up with an in story reason for it. Let us not forget it takes place 60 years after revolutions.

[@mlggamer5296]

Yeah I like that about the programs being semi corporeal so you got to see Morpheus as like this hologram you can actually touch. And he can manipulate his matter as well as we see him try to get through a vent. That was wicked awesome

The first Matrix is one of my favorite movies of the last 30 years. I certainly could've done without the two sequels but this one looks like it has potential, conceptually speaking.

[@lobal2]

Treat it as it's own thing. It does have more in common with the first movie. It's not a huge epic event. Smaller scale, more story focused.

[@godsmacked1000]

Terrible movie.

[@Axolotl_Mischief]

I enjoyed the sequels...but this is waaay worse. It looks cheap as hell, and is a shallow, sloppy mess of a film. There are no amazing action sequences, martial arts choreography or compelling plot points. I disliked it a lot.

I saw The Matrix Resurrections in cinemas at the Swedish premiere on December 22 yesterday. To be completely honest, it was better than third and as good as second. So my rating from 1-10 = 8. The Movie was great!

[@gwalter]

People saying they didn't like the movie still don't get it. it's a freaking movie and it will go with the times. And we fucking grew up. Older people back in the days never understood the hype. And you'll have to watch it again to pick up a few more things.

[@brianguayartist]

The copies of 'people' that pass outside the window in Neo and Trin coffee shop scene. A nice call back to the copies in the training simulation from movie one. :)

[@wowomg1980]

I thought it was interesting that the other agents referred to Morpheus as “Smith”

[@JWadGallery]

Because neo programmed him to start as Smith in the game and evolve into Morpheus to find and awake neo again

[@PetrivanWyk]

I went in expecting the same trend as in M1, and I was slightly disappointed. But, after watching it the second time, seeing it as a continuation of the original story, it made so much more sense, especially all the flaws and non-sensical stuff pointed out by the critics. And this whole movie, for me, is set as a precursor to something bigger; definitely the feel of a "1 of 3", or so, movie.

[@Cyrunix]

I feel like the first half of the movie was it speaking to fans and our theories, also telling us not to take this too serious and not applied to reality. Basically a disclaimer... smh I hated it, dragged too much.

@@Cyrunix I hear ya. When I watched it the first time I was also on the edge of my seat waiting for something to happen...

Spoilers The movie started with a very intriguing plot. But the way they executed it was bad. Like many people said, the Matrix felt too safe. The fighting wasn’t up to par and the agents weren’t threatening. The new characters (except The Analyst) were forgettable and boring. I thought the death of The Analyst was was anticlimactic. All it took was a bullet? He was super interesting and you kill him like it’s no big deal?

So bringing Agent Smith back after he was purged, aka deleted, was freakin' great? Why in sam hell would the machines ever bring Agent Smith's program back, it literally destroyed the old matrix.
