The Matrix 4!
- Thread starter mikid
- Start date
It’s set about 60 years after Revolutions. After Neo and Trinity die, the Machines take their bodies and effectively rebuild them. It’s a pretty horrific scene in the movie of the two of them being hacked up and rebuilt.
Once they’ve been reinserted into the Matrix, the Machines convince Neo/Thomas Anderson he is game developer who wrote the Matrix as a computer game and then had a psychotic episode making him believe the game was real. This part of the movie really screws with your head because you’re constantly questioning what really happened or if Neo is just a crazy person.

Why do we need this? I don’t get why they do this stuff..
So the truce between humans and machines is still going on? Did the machines free everyone from the matrix?
Halfway through the movie, Neo returns to the real-world--a new Zion called, Io---where an old Niobe tells him that after the events of Revolutions, there was a period of peace and that many of the machines wound up working with freed humans in Zion, but there were many who still resented them. A civil war breaks out between the Machines as their resources started to dwindle (they do this in one big exposition dump and I didn't catch all of it) because I guess too many humans were leaving the Matrix. Eventually, the Machines wiped out Zion while Niobe led a group of people out who worked with the Machines (who are now cute cuddle-y anthropomorphic things) to build Io and plant strawberries while hiding from the same angry Machines. Again, a lot of this was sped through and I didn't catch all of it but it seemed to be a bigger problem for the machines more than people, but the stakes were still the same: people were free to stay or go.
Neil Patrick Harris plays a second Architect, called "The Analyst" and he built the new iteration of the Matrix and all the iphones and tech junk we have today are ways to keep people numb and afraid to leave the current Matrix. The new power source used to keep the current iteration of the Matrix going was mostly due to Neo pining over Trinity. How and why it still exists at the end of the movie after they unplug themselves is beyond me.

Isnt that The Polar Express
I don’t think it’s bad…just not everything I had hoped it was going to be. A lot of good stuff. A lot of stuff that makes you go, “…eh?”
I would give it a watch.

It's one of the rare modern movies that I'd rewatch. It really isn't that bad and you can't review movies based on what you wished they'd be, only on what they are. It's nowhere close to perfect, but it's better than 90% of what's out there right now.

I gave up after watching Matrix Reloaded. That movie was garbage.

It wasn’t great, or anything, but it least it kept me interested until the end. thats more than I can say for 99% of the movies that come out these day. It would have benefited greatly by having more returning actors. A solid “meh”
I went into it with open eyes looking forward to a bit of Matrixisms
Cool music score
Flashy visuals
A dash of Bullet time madness
Oh and a bit of Kung Fu..
Like the empty void above It didn't have Any trade marks of the franchise and much like Keanu forgetting the name of the movie he was promoting in interviews sums up the movie...
I only got to 1 hr 40 mins..
Maybe it got better ?
I watched it for the second time. It helped being less confused about the plot -it’s worth watching if you liked the other movies but it’s not particularly memorable. Like visiting old friends discussing stories you’ve talked about before.

Nope.
I agree. I started watching it a second time to pick up what I missed
I can't point to anything that I could say was bad, but even being a huge fan of all 3 previous films, this just seemed unnecessary.
I really feel like WB did exactly what was alluded to in the film, & the makers chose the lesser of 2 evils.
All that said, I'll probably watch it at least 1 more time to see how it grows on me

Watched it last night and all i could think was they watched RoS and decided that
.
It wasn't bad, it wasn't great, but i felt that WB bit in the beginning was right and that they were more or less forced to make it. My question at the end was, we needed this why? If there's another 2 in the pipeline it makes more sense, but if not, i'm not sure i get why unless the answer is they were short on money.
Dyad aspect was pure gold and used that.
