The new Matrix is trash 🎵🎵🎵

Is it out already?

@iiii it’s on HBO max. Not sure about theaters.

@wackOverflow I would be waiting for torrents anyway

@iiii probably the most appropriate way to watch it honestly.

@wackOverflow nah, it's just I don't go to cinemas at all and paying a subscription for one movie a year does not look like a good deal to me

First half sucked. 2nd half was comparatively better but dragged

The new Matrix movie is the equivalent of a well-made frozen pizza. It's edible and not even half-bad, but it's still frozen pizza.

Agent Smith fan detected

Was hoping for it to be just better than I feared. Still got disappointed :(

@Ison yeah but a terrible frozen pizza. Too many plot holes that broke the immersion reminding that it’s not “real pizza”.

@Fapoleon I was really looking forward to this movie. After watching it I concluded that getting divorced this year was only the second worse thing to happen to me in 2021.

Hey don't give trash such a bad name. Trash is better than that!

Making a comparatively great Matrix sequel is impossible.

When it came out, simulation theory was not that much of a mainstream philosophical concept yet, and any movie that "blows people's minds" can't "reblow people's minds".

The Matrix has a fairly weak universe.

Everything in it just serves to explain the concept of simulation theory to the viewer.

Not bashing the original: It completely works in an utterly brilliant way, you don't really need a pile of consistent lore or complicated personal development arcs for what #1 was trying to do.

But regardless of how you spin it, any sequel will just be a generic movie.

The shallow characters aren't a great foundation to build on. Mythology works best when it is allowed to retain mystery. The SF tropes besides "it's a simulation" can't be stretched further either.

Some amazing things should just be cherished for what they are, instead of trying to squeeze more out of it.

It's not Matrix...
It's like a comedy spin off...
I liked it as a fan... But that's what I thought while I was watching... It's not my matrix.
Story is to shallow, more like a Easter egg hunt.

@iiii there's a "surprise sale" on the p. bay already. I watched it recently and yep, I would've regretted paying money for this shit. It's worth watching as a comedy, best if you get high or drunk first.

It sucked monkey fuck... I'd say it started kinda strong, like the first 3rd or 4th had potential to be turned into something at least decent but after a few minutes it just turned into a giant joke, everyone was covered in plot armor and then both neo and trinity were just a giant deux ex machina...

really shallow bullshit, at best it's a mediocre comedy... and you really don't want the Matrix to be labeled as "comedy"... it's as if they tried to make it into avengers
