The Matrix Resurrections Thread - Woah

The full trailer is out.
Fuck me. That looks terrible and I have no clue how this is supposed to tie into the original movies. Did Neo suffer amnesia (how creative) or what the fuck is this? Clones? Mind Upload?

I especially like the fist-sized blue pills, Not-Morpheus looking like straight out of an Asylum knock-off and the fact that the whole trailer looks... insanely bland.
The action and effects of the original movie were mind blowing and have left their imprint on the 90s and ealry 00s. The style was also peak 90s for better or for worse.

This? I did not see a single effect that made me go "wow, that's cool". All I could think of was how much this reminds me of other movies. Like, the scene where they go through a mirror, looked neat... but fuck me, Stargate did that effect more than a quarter century ago.

It's a movie that will bring nothing new to the table, with a setting that stopped being mind blowing over a decade ago, featuring a style that hasn't been "in" for 2 decades and just to top it all off: Hamfisted political soap-box bullshit.
 
First 0:07 seconds, literally the first words of the trailer 'you seem particularly triggered right now.'

That's it, that's as far as I got. fuck that shit.

It looks like a remake. Even some of the camera angles are identical, as the close-up of the gun barrel from above.
 
From the trailer it looks like a beat for beat rehash of Matrix 1 marketed with nostalgia. Remember agents? Remember when neo fought Morpheus in a dojo? Remember blue pills and red pills? Remember the white rabbit? Remember all the Alice in Wonderland references?

I knew it would be bad. How do you do a 4th movie after both the male and female leads pretty conclusively died at the end of the story, and the primary antagonist agrees to peace and an end to the primary conflict. Definitely not gonna watch this and ruin my memories of the original Matrix, which remains on the list of culture my kids will watch before they turn 18.
It’s like making a sequel to Terminator 2. I would have preferred it if the franchise just died.
 
If the rumors from that legendary Rolling Stone article are true, Lana (the first one to troon out) is the sibling who didn't give a fuck about the sequels, he spent 90% of the time fucking with his demented dominatrix rather than shooting the film. The fact the slightly more sane sibling refused to work in this sequel is not a surprise for me.
 
Trailer didn't look like complete hot garbage to me, just really fucking generic.
Not hoping for much though.
 
I mean, the trailer looks good but if this movie is going to be a glorified remake of the first, why bother?
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.
 
Looks better than I expected but that last line about "back to the Matrix" ruined my mood.

That's the trailer basically flat-out telling you this is just gonna be a reboot of the first for nostalgia consoomers and kids who grew up with heckin breathtaking wholesome-era Keanu.
This thing is going to make money. If you're wondering why billionaires and despots see people as dumb cattle who need to be controlled, it's because they're sort of right.
 
So how are Neo and Trinity both alive after the end of the third movie? OK, Neo there is some wiggle room, but Trinity is dead. Deader than dead. She's a pincushion. How is she alive?!
