Well it's interesting lots of kids were not alive when I randomly movie hopped in 1999 to some weird flick called the matrix. I was just trying to pass the time before going home that day, don't remember what movie I was there for whether it was star wars or something else, long time ago 20 years, I was 13 years old and hanging out at New Roc doing my thang...
Let me just say that day was glorious...
Couldn't be happier they're going to finally give us Matrix 4 and not bullshit around with whether to do it or not do it...
Matrix revolutionized cinema... what it did, how it re-charged the film going experience is still to this day completely undervalued... Movies were never EVER the same again after the Matrix came out. It wrecked people's minds and visually pushed films to a new level.
Still enjoy just the feel and flow of the first film and the wacky ridiculousness of the sequels.
Are there better films about similar subject matter that I've seen since the last matrix movie came out waaaay the hell back? Yeah, I mean I've been watching quite a bit of sci-fi that's about rogue AI like 2001 and 2010 and the Alien series now is apparently about that subject if you want to look at recent films... We do indeed have a new terminator movie too which was essentially the father of the matrix movies, so yeah it's interesting what's going on seeing the sci-fi worlds kinda existing side by side now adays... I forgot to mention blade runner 2049, great little exploration of similar matrix concepts.
I think I know what's going to happen in the new movie, so if you don't want spoilers, bounce.
Neo and Trinity are pure digital beings now... It's the only thing that makes sense at all... Some how Trinity and Neo's peronalities are still inside the matrix even though their physical real world bodies are no more... Only way this can work at all...
I guess it's going ot be about them dealing with new threats to the peaceful co-existence between man and machines, or even a new One.... lots of possibilities.
What I want for f's sake is there to finally be a more matrix stuff... tv show, cartoon, games... It's been probably the most over-looked gold mine in the history of popcorn cinema. I know I know, the matrix did get games, but to not do another better MMO for the matrix which is literally about humans living in a digital world, wtf. Seriously every matrix game is ps2 leWvel graphics nonsense... how does that happen to one of the most revolutionary franchises of cinema history? Explain that... should have gotten a matrix game to just give us something to chew on a decade ago to celebrate the 10th anniversy, we got a fart.
Well I'm kinda pinching myself about this. I've wanted it for so long, I don't think this moment is real. We've gotten so many matrix clones and wannabes for so long. I've become used to going and seeing yet more matrix-lite, not really used to feeling like oh wow new matrix movie coming... wow, to get back into that state of mind, it's wild stuff...
