Are you fucking with me ? Literally none of the questions i asked you are answered here.

Why Engineers wanted to destroy earth ? "emmm... because destruction and creation ! because there is sequel in making, why do you need answer ! Best Sci-fi is without answers !"

Who cares why they wanted to destroy Earth. First, Prometheus was the FIRST movie of a TRILOGY planned. Alien Covenant is actually the 2nd Prometheus movie. Why do you need everything answered in the first movie, or why do you need everything answered at all? If something is "not answered", it doesn't automatically mean it's illogical.

But even if this question wasn't answered. On top of my head I can easily think of 2 plausible things why the Engineers wanted to go to Earth or even destroy their creation there. A) they could have thought that there creation evolved in a wrong way (greedy, capitalistic motherfuckers like weyland yutani ruling the world) or B) they could have needed Earth as their own home, because something bad might have happend to the engineers themselves (maybe they played too much "god" with the black goo - in short, a very dangerous evolution enhancer) and needed Earth for themselves. Or C) something completely different which by that time just simply wasn't explained.

But anyway. I don't want to argue with you anymore. Believe what you want. Cheers.

Project Icream shooting in San Francisco, rumored to be moving to Germany for studio work next. Except for Jupiter Ascending, all Wachowski productions after Revolutions were at least partially shot in Germany. Even Ninja Assassin lol



Someone should make a production thread...

 

[SuperGooey]

Keanu is gonna have long hair and a beard? No black coat?

I wonder if this isn't Neo, but an reincarnation or something.

 

[Urprobablyright]

I reckon you could say they were one hit wonders, the magic of the matrix lay in its relatively low tech and stand alone vision of a gritty parallel reality... The two other films in the trilogy smacked of a George Lucas style spawning of as many shallow archetypal characters as possible in order to rope in as many new fans and merchandising/licensing windfalls as possible.. any reboot seems to me to be destined to take the path of the recent star wars trilogy of fabricating vignettes to excite people and get them in the gate then pulling the rug out with an ersatz plot.

I'd like where the "one", was reabsorbed into the matrix and that he has become the Oracle... Goes on a way to reobtain the eyes and finally free man. Either that or we learn there are multiple versions of the matrix and not all machines are friends with one another. Human bodies are their resources and they are fighting over them.

The Matrix sequels actually some really great ideas, the problem was that they were rushed. They needed a second or third draft to condense things and pace out the story better.

This new Matrix film seems like it is more of a passion projects for Lana Wachowski, so even if it ends up not being a great film, I'm sure it'll at least be inspired--something the Star Wars sequels were not.

Here’s why. : P

I’m not insulting Keanu, but people do get old, and have to change their styles to continue looking good. He looks really good with the beard. Not so much with the same style he had in his 20s/30s.

That makes sense. He still doesn't look bad, but he looks far more badass with a beard.

Alex Winters looks the same!

 

[EightBit Man]

I like Keanu Reeves. Seems like a chill dude who doesn't seek attention.

Hahaha! Based on what? A 5 second video taken on a phone with no context or idea for what they are filming?

Just a few different looks for keanu for bill and ted 3.


Also John Wick 4 is out the same day as Matrix 4, he’s gonna need to keep the long hair during the filming of the matrix so he can go straight to filming wick.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Or there's this thing called "a wig". Todays wigs especially in Hollywood production are like the real thing with proper make up artist.

 

[Tesseract]

dear god that picture of keanu with a moses beard is avatar worthy

Let's do it. John Wick 4 is too far away, lets have matrix next year

 

[Coolwhhip]

I rewatched them recently. Matrix 1 is great. But 2 and 3 are cringey as fuckkkk.

 

[Dontero]

I rewatched them recently. Matrix 1 is great. But 2 and 3 are cringey as fuckkkk.

Don't even start what they made after matrix 3, all of those are even worse.

 

[Sub_Level]

Yea people focus on the special effects of 1 which made it influential. But the film is so much more than that.

No, they are not. The whole Trilogy is amazing. All 3 movies are visual, cinematographical, philosophical masterpieces. However, the story and deep elements only start to really gain steam after the first movie, which is great, but follows a pretty simple "what if everything is a dream" story. If merely introduces the whole world/setting, but with 2 and 3 everything gets really good.

I get why there are a bunch of people who just like the first one, though. Some people just don't like complex storylines.

 

[Tesseract]

you can do worse than the matrix as your first r rating with heavy themes and ideas

i was 13 or 14 when it came out, was damn fun watching it in theaters

I like Keanu, but this is gonna be a woke-fest isn't it.....

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

But hey maybe it ends up being great

 

[Meowzers]

Of course he wouldn't say no to it.

Like a viagra addict saying no to a wank.

 

[Grinchy]

I can't wait to be educated by a Matrix movie. That's where I go to learn about what things should make me feel guilty and how I should change my ways.

 

[German Hops]

I'm still adjusting to the fact that the Wachowskis are now chicks.

This is the worst take of all time. That's akin to thinking Robocop sucked, but 2 and 3 were amazing movies.

 

[Stitch]

robocop 2 is amazing

 

[Grinchy]

I guess it at least explains all the terrible movies outside of the first Matrix (when they were at their peak male form).

 

[GeorgPrime]

I'm still adjusting to the fact that the Wachowskis are now chicks.

When they were talking about the Wachowskis i still had the picture of the two guys in my head. When i heard that they are women now... i was like "WTF.... you are kidding me?"

From blood brothers to period sisters.

 

[Faenrir]

I like the 3 Matrix movies...never understood the criticism...people just wanted Matrix 1, 3 times. What would be the point ? Just go rewatch the first movie and be done with it.

Here’s why. : P

He looks like Alan Rickman in that pic !

While I am generally not opposed to a Matrix 4... I am concerned after seeing the lashing out against Elon Musk for the Red Pill tweet.

 

[Mobilemofo]

I rewatched them recently. Matrix 1 is great. But 2 and 3 are cringey as fuckkkk.

They look fuckin great tho and nobody can say the burly brawl wasn't a fuckin joy to watch given the limited tech at the time.

 

[GymWolf]

But i can surely say no after the last 2 films...

 

[Thabass]

2 was decent at least. I can understand the hate for three. But the second one was great.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Thr action in 2 is next level. The freeway chase is still great

 

[Thabass]

Right? The "Burly Brawl" battle, the highway chase scene, and the Trinity stuff was all great.

 

[Ixion]

The chateau/highway sequence in Reloaded is the best sequence in the entire trilogy, and the DBZ fight at the end of Revolutions is really cool, but as a whole the two sequels are not on the same level as the first movie because they're just too bloated. Way too many new characters are introduced that no one gives a shit about. And yeah, most of those new characters have a very lame and silly look to them. And Revolutions suffers from this more because most of the movie takes place outside of the Matrix.

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

I have a feeling this is going to be terrible, but I still can't wait to see what they do with it.

The second and third movies had some really cool concepts and ideas, they just didn't have someone to tell them to chill out a bit with some things.

 

[Tesseract]

the action sequences were not the problem

 

[Ememee]

Reloaded lacked a lot of the resonating themes, scenes and character moments from the first. I’ll still go back and watch for some of the action.

Revolutions is..bless you if you like it, but eesh.

I still hold Matrix close to my heart so I’m appropriately excited for this all-the-while the logical side of my brain is screaming about all the red flags.

 

[Xenon]

I like Keanu, but this is gonna be a woke-fest isn't it.....

It's going to be like a gallon Five Hour Energy for your soul.

 

[transformer]

The original Matrix is one of the best films ever made IMO. The issue, is that it was never meant to be a trilogy. The creators had issues carrying on the story. I still enjoy them all, but they got progressively worse after the first.

 

[Skyfox]

Feminax Reloaded. Neo takes the pink pill this time.

I'd put the odds of this being a decent movie at about the same as the wachowskis squeezing out a single sperm cell.

I only saw the third somewhat recently and was surprised by how much of it is based in Zion. That's not what people were coming to those movies for.

Matrix 4 is delayed to April 2022
Godzilla vs Kong takes its May 2021 date. This piece of shit was in the can before the last Godzilla movie launched and it was originally scheduled for a May 2020 release.

I'd love a cut of the first movie without the closing telephone booth/superman scene. Or maybe that was our warning for how off the deep end possible sequels would be.

I'll still watch the 4th. Love Keanu even if most of his movies are a miss for my tastes.
