And don't forget the human army of ED-209s fighting the AI army of robotic octopuses.
Film The Matrix Resurrections

It's overdue an update. Since the last film Elon Musk has made groundbreaking philosophical and technological advances that'll have huge implications on the series.
Hope they remake 20 Billion Leagues Under the Sea next for the same reasons.

1st matrix blew my mind, I did watch it coming down off an acid trip though. 2nd one was ok, entertaining enough bu the 3rd let the trilogy down in my opinion. Didn’t they have different directors for each film though? And that’s why each one was different from the rest? Or have I imagined that?
I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to it. I saw the first Matrix and thought it was alright, but I haven't seen 2 or 3. I guess the prospect of a fourth feels a little different to the seemingly bottomless pit of remakes and reboots we're currently falling into, at least to me anyway. Since Matrix 3, as we all know, the Wachowskis have both come out as transgender, and a lot of people have rightly gone back to analyse the original films for metaphors and messages about identity and queerness that we missed the first time around. Maybe now they're - for want of a better term - unburdened by that secret, the 4th might have something interesting to say about what being transgender is once everybody's aware? Films are more than their messages, of course, but messages do make things interesting at the very least.
Yeah, I'm kind of with you on that mate. It depends if they actually make the messages clever and interesting this time, rather than jumbled and shoehorned in like before.
That being said, it is hard in the days of nostalgia to see it as anything other than a cash grab. Especially with only one of them directing it, thay suggests the other one didn't like the idea.
The Matrix was a good movie because it was 'original'.It was different and innovative in it's substance and style. The sequels can never be that. Trying to replicate originality defeats the purpose. That's why the sequels sucked and any new sequel/prequel is doomed.
Looking forward to Bill and Ted much more.
I don't think that's true, yes the Original had awesome fight scenes the story like was what made it, it was a real rabbi hole of a movie that made you think, 2 and 3 were confused with no real carry through from the first.
Will see how it turns out, I'm optimistic.
Certainly gives fresh meaning to Off with their heads!
Two tried to build on the original both in story and style. Three was a bit different. Where both sequels fell short was the 'rabbit hole' element, already done in the original with not much to add in the sequels. Also the over the top fight scenes, cinematography with the slo mo rotating scenes etc. had been done to death by almost every other action movie that came out between the original Matrix and the Matrix Reloaded.
The Matrix Revolutions, I think due to poor reception of Reloaded, gave up on trying to replicate the original and tried to be different. The sharp suits and trendy sunglasses replaced by shabby clothing, and more war movie than martial arts.
Anyway, I'm not looking forward to this. I wish Hollywood would take more risks with fresh ideas rather than this risk averse sequel/prequel approach that's been the trend.
I actually enjoyed the Matrix Reloaded, while not as good as the first movie (which is my favourite movie ever), I thought it was pretty good. Revolutions was a bad movie though.
Still, I am quite excited about this.

I often have nightmares where I’m stuck at a dinner party next to someone trying very earnestly to explain to me why the Matrix sequels are actually really deep and important.
It’s my own personal version of hell.

This is going to be dreadful, isn't it?
you can reply with your opinion on the star war
How about being stuck between such a person and a Star Wars fan?
It would be like bringing nu metal back, a foolish idea indeed.
Not even Keanu could pull off wearing those sunglasses again in 2019.
Just wait and see Nilssy. Just wait and see.

I'm beyond erect. I can't wait for this.
Has to be better than bringing back Bill & Ted surely.
Ooh. Colour me excited.
Just a crying shame that red pills are now synonymous with thousands of utter tools.

Innit. The American Talk-Radio right will never stop ruining good things.
At least we can laugh as their heads explode when they find out that their favourite pop-culture thing is written and directed by two trans women.
Keanu still rocking his coasting through life look I see.... it worked for John Wick I guess.
Is Keanu Reeves the coolest guy to ever live?
Nah that's Tom Ellis. Keanu is close though.
Cooler
