The Matrix Resurrections Thread - Woah

I expected this trailer to show me how generic and boring the upcoming fourth path will be.
I wasn't dissapointed. At all.

Seriously, Keanu, it would have been worth to get a cameo in The Raid 3 as some jeneric John Bob with good fighting skills instead of this.

So, one of "sisters" have played CP'2077, eh? This one had an engramm of Johny Silverhand (also Keanu... wait... OH SHI~)

Laurence Fishburne Was Never Told Why ‘Matrix 4’ Left Him Out: ‘You Have to Ask Lana Wachowski’

Fishburne said “it doesn’t get old” constantly being asked about “The Matrix 4” despite not starring in it.

How did it look good? Did we see the same trailer? How is rebooting everything, literally, "good?" Did it have impressive fight choreography? No. Did it have something we haven't seen before in a good way? Fuck no. It's a bad trailer and I see what they were doing with White Rabbit but it comes off as tacky and just more bullshit trailer music.

It looked good, as in, it didn't look like the trash I feared it would be. It still relies on tired gimmicks that were only fresh in 1999. A trailer does not establish if its going to be good or not. And it looks like a complete retread of the first movie instead of doing a more interesting Resistance vs Machinists-style storyline that Matrix Online was all about. At least I get HBO Max for free. There's still 11 weeks left for them to fuck this up by adding two albino twins with dreadlocks.

I seriously hope they aren't intending Yaya-Abdul Macursedname to be Morpheus. Recasting is not cool.

I'm not feeling Bootleg Morpheus, neither the atmosphere...

EDIT: check out the old 1999 trailer, for comparison.


It's why I think it's a bootleg version of The Matrix. These fuckhead Wachowskis lost their soul when they trooned out, it doesn't even compare to the OG trailers.

They redesigned the pills to be chrome metal 2 piece powder pills instead of the original solid oil type pills. One of the most iconic images from the matrix and they fucked it up. Subtletey's completely fucking gone from the trailer with thw whining dramatic echoey 'go ask alice" and constant references to alice and wonderland when it was just a few short referential quips in the first movie, alongside a bunch of other literary references. OG matrix trilogy trailers actually manage to build intrigue. This new one's is literally hollywood skinwalker AI agent Matrix.

They're bringing back morpheus, as well as agent smith, a character who was killed by being wiped from existence by original trilogy's end, yet didn't bring back the original actors who were still readily available. This will be utter dogshit.

Well, White Rabbit is a great song...

But yeah, this just feels unnecessary. Clearly it's set after Matrix 3 so I'm wondering if Neo had his memories swiped to become a program in The new Matrix or something. Trinity is a reaction to it.

Fuck the danger hair though.
 
The trailer somewhat reminds me of one of those fan-made trailers where people take clips from wholly unrelated movies and edit them all together to try to create the illusion of something cohesive; the overall effect is decidedly perplexing, although I would be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued by the trailer.

There are definitely some potentially interesting directions that the filmmakers could choose to go in with this movie, and this trailer doesn't rule that out for me. The real question for me is whether or not it will be able to build upon the concepts that the first film dealt with, and which the first two sequels—in my view—never lived up to.

It looks like a remake. Even some of the camera angles are identical, as the close-up of the gun barrel from above.

They also re-used the rapid-hands move that Smith did on Neo in the subway, among other things.

I don't see any visual trickery either, like how the Matrix was always under a light shade of green and reality has more blue for contrast.

No Fishburne or Weaving was a huge missed opportunity in getting the gang back together imo, not to mention two of your best original actors who had considerable screen presence whenever they showed up. About the best thing they could do now (if the story is shit and the style is unappealing) is ensure that Neo and Trinity's importance as characters is preserved. Assassinate either one of them and they'll be pissing away whatever long-time fans they had.
 
I've read that supposedly test audiences said that the film is very meta. Is apparently a movie in which the Matrix films are actual films within the story and that's why Neo / Trinity are alive (you see the first film playing on a TV in the trailer). Some people even theorising Keanu Reeves is literally playing himself. :story:
I think the trailer looks interesting but I don't expect much.

Colours looks more like a fantasy film.

Why are we still seeing spaghetti CGI in 2021? The first movie was mostly wire so stunts had weight but this is like the shitty 2000's CGI from the second and third movies.

Why can't I quote Lawgiver's post?

This is modern media. Everything has to be obvious to the Twitterati so nobody is left out the references. The idea of something being a mystery that only internet autists would care about is gone.

First time I noticed it was in Community where every reference is explained ("like that episode of Star Trek/Twilight Zone/etc when...",). Same happens in Dan Harmon's other project Rick and Morty ("it's like a monster from an 80's Wes Craven film!"). Compare to say The Simpsons or Futurama where shit flys past fast and you either get it or miss it and find out years later on a wiki.

I didn't pay too much attention but a few stuck out. I assume we have to fall back on trailers often don't feature the finished CGI shots, until the actual film comes out.

The cinematography is odd, so vibrant. I am curious as to what the meta stuff is. Part of me wonders if this will not be a sequel but just another film based around the whole Matrix concept. The idea Keanu is playing himself is interesting, but the trailer calls him Thomas and he'd know the actress who played Trinity if it actually did that.

Although for all we know, the trailer could be giving us misdirects.
 
This is a stealth prequel. We're seeing an earlier iteration of the Matrix in which the integral anomaly is slightly older when it manifests. Movie will end with Thomas Anderson meeting the Architect, who tells him this is the 15th time they are going to destroy Zion. Thomas agrees to return his code to the source and reboot the Matrix, but warns the Architect, "One day, there will be another one ... a new one ... like me, who will overthrow your oppression." The Architect says, "When that happens, I'll be ready," and a CGI Hugo Weaving walks into frame and looks right into the camera.

If I'm wrong I'll eat my :popcorn:.
