![]() ![]() While there are a few visually striking moments, those sequences are offset by puzzling ones, like a massive close-quarters fight that makes it difficult to discern who’s doing what to whom, blunting any excitement. So, what’s left? The stylized action, stunt work and look, which felt more distinctive way back in 1999. While that remains, the film is so chaotic even their storyline proves uninvolving through no fault of the stars. Wachowski has also included several cast members from her Netflix series “Sense8” in smaller roles.Īt its core “The Matrix” has always been anchored by its grand love story, with Trinity’s faith (assisted by prophecy) having helped Neo embrace his messiah-like destiny. The principal additions are Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as a new version of Morpheus, Jessica Henwick (“Iron Fist”), Jonathan Groff and Neil Patrick Harris, with Groff enjoying perhaps the juiciest of those parts and clearly relishing it. Clearly, there’s been a glitch in the program, one that will require drawing him back into the previous worlds he occupied and introducing characters to function as his guides. Spoilers are understandably a concern with this sort of eagerly anticipated genre movie, but the one benefit of “Resurrections” is that it’s not entirely clear what there is to spoil.Īs the trailer has revealed, some time has passed, and Neo/Thomas Anderson (Reeves) has moved on, while Moss’ Trinity harbors no memory of him. Although the previous “Matrix” sequels marked a steep decline from the freshness of the original, compared to this film’s missteps all is forgiven. Instead, Wachowski has conjured a film that falls into its own kind of strange nether realm, mixing nostalgia and self-referential callbacks with what feels like a redo of fundamental elements, without satisfactorily explaining (despite scads of exposition) how we got from the earlier trilogy to here. Although director/co-writer Lana Wachowski slyly comments on the commercial nature of the undertaking and it’s nice seeing Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reunited, the better plan in hindsight might have been to completely reboot the system. ![]() Note 2: I am not a english native speaker, sorry for possible grammar mistakes.Complicated in the best of times, “The Matrix Resurrections” is simply convoluted, a collection of flashy digits that don’t add up to much of anything. It's just a movie analogy, not turning the movie Matrix into reality. Note: Taking a red pill wouldn't mean that you will be waking up as Neo in Matrix. “Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness, give me truth.” My personal estimate is that you can probably handle a big load of depression. All lies and conspiracies revealed, all dreams and expectations destroyed, seeing strings that move puppets around you, corruption and power of money - Just plain and simple truth. True reality is a life that has no filters, it doesn't protect the feelings of you as it's observer, it just shows you the real events unfolding behind the scenes, without mercy. Red pill represent life in the true reality. You want to wake up tomorrow and every other day, in your bed, and keep going with your life like usually, accepting the illusion. You don't want to wake up and realize that you are a naked actor on a movie set, preprogrammed NPC in a video game, Truman in the Truman show - you just prefer to take our current reality over everything else. ![]() You don't mind living your life without knowing it's meaning but you can still be happy as things are, or appear. Just to do a little recap:īlue pill represents the life in reality you created for yourself by your own perception of it and how you were taught to perceive it. I hope all people who will be making a choice really deeply understand what blue pill and red pill stands for. Know any others? Message #scifi and let your friendly mods know!
