3 had the whole Matrix turned into Smiths, but 2 had that courtyard type area where Neo runs on them in a circle them using a pole.
Come to think of it, if 3 has the entire Matrix turned into Smiths and 4 just rolled the Matrix program back then what was the point of any of it?

I still have not finished 4. Forgot it came out lol. No interest at all. Warner should let it die.
That might actually work out better, like what Caprica was to Battlestar GalacticaSure why not
If they’re going to do the meta stuff again though, I just hope that they put more budget into the effects this time around.
Honestly a cool concept would be an HBO show called ‘Zion’, that would take place post-Matrix 1. It would be a hidden gem with a great storyline and good acting, then be cancelled after 2 seasons(like most hidden gems).

Keanu Reaves is 59. So by the time it comes out he'll be in his 60s!

So, has there been any actual resolution to the series? At the end of 3 it seemed that there was a “peace” and things were going to start getting better. So, how did 4 happen? Does it have an open ending as well?

The only notable thing about that last Matrix movie in my mind is that I legitimately keep forgetting the subtitle no matter how many times I read it, so I just call it "The Matrix 4".
Sticking a number at the end of the title is all that movie really deserves, and I don't think a follow up to that will be any less deserving of the same treatment.

I'll watch it. 4 was fun, IDC that it wasn't the best movie ever created.

There is peace and things are better, with humans and some machines living together, but the new Architect is a bit of a cunt. The Matrix is our modern world:
This just as relevant to us as the cubicle hell and dude taxes lmao was to 1999.
Half of the population being bots is terrifying IMO.

I didnt see the last Matrix movie. I didn't know Neil Patrick Harris was in it. All I know is anytime I see him in any role he's always comedy. Even in that clip you posted, I cant tell if he's supposed to be a drama or fun scene since I can never take him seriously.

Not really.
The first film does it best and will never be bettered. The extended lore they have created in this franchise is fucking awful and incomprehensible at times. Its clearly made up as we go along because they need more money type deal.
I'd take a reboot of the first film i suppose, but what's the point when the Matrix is perfect as is?

I think there’s enormous potential for it considering they could conceivably take it in any direction as long as there’s still the duality between the ‘real World’ struggle and the highly stylish Matrix ‘reality’. It could be any number of genres while in the Matrix or even several genres at once.
I would rather see a reboot with completely new characters with a new ‘one’ than a remake with Neo and Trinity again personally.

Potential yes, but everything they have done since the first ranges from just ok to fucking awful. Apart from that Animatrix thing, that was pretty good. Wipe the 3 other movies from cannon and just make a completely different story in the same universe as the original. Neo's "story" did not need expanding on IMO, well not in the way they did it at least.

Take this franchise out the back or keep the Wachowskis out of the project.

Totally agree. I’m not a fan of the sequels and especially not whatever pile of shit that last one was lol. I just think the franchise has massive potential in the right hands because there’s almost unlimited ways you could use the Matrix in cool ways.
Days like these...

I didn't bother with 4 don't think I'll watch this one either.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Matrix movies after 1 were ok, i've seen the first movie tons of times.

Brother if you truly think Matrix Resurrections is a good movie then you're better off alt-F4'ing irl.

My guess is they will have an old man smith Hugo Weaving played character that somehow survived and is too old and decrepit to do anything, but will have a nice chat with Neo
See, I would have more confidence if this wasn't Matrix 5, which implies a continuation of the Reeves stuff. I'd be more down for a totally separate story.

It's time for Matrix Rebooted.
Flip the entire script.
Make Neo the villain and set it many years later.
And change the setting for the simulation. The 90s or whatever it is, is played out.
Don't let the Wachowskis near it.

Might be an unpopular opinion but it would be wise to drop keanu for this movie. Neo's story concluded in Revolutions, his arc is done and bringing him back would be lame as hell. I want a whole new cast and I would hope it borrows stylistically from the first movie and replicates the atmosphere it had.
