It really looks like they want to suck you in and then subvert your expectations on what the Matrix is this time.
I didn't get past the second one. They felt very redundant to me personally. Maybe this ties up the reasoning for it feeling redundant?
I only saw the first one.
I have all three on physical media and have watched them multiple times. The second and third movies aren't anywhere near as good as the first movie with exceptions to some of the major action sequences. The trailer here compares some shots of the original three movies to the new one is a very fascinating way. I think this movie will be HOW a new incarnation of the matrix compares to the old one.
The first Matrix was the only movie I went to the theater and saw twice.
Me too. I thought it was pretty good.
I saw all three and I have to say that I thought the second one could have been divided between the first and the second and cut some of the garbage out of it and it would have been fine. I actually love the whole concept and I am looking forward to a family event of going all together to the movie since my son-in-law loves the series as much as me.
Btw the trilogy moves tend to have a week part two. I felt the same way about "The Hobbit".
To be fair, movie makers have been forced to put the best ideas in the first move, never sure they'll get a second or third bite. That leaves a lot of filler for the 2nd and a often a complete reconfigure to have it make sense. For sure my favorite 2nd act would be The Dark Knight from the Nolan Batman trilogy.
I liked the Matrix Trilogy- even the ending. What can I say- the heroes really weren't heroes- they were all deeply flawed. The fact that things stayed exactly the same as they were before the Matrix started had an ironic appeal to me. The Matrix still existed, but humans would have the choice of living in the Matrix- or living in the real world (not sure many would choose that). No telling how Neo's deal would be enforced or even if it could be; as the machines had possession of him (or at least his body).
Bringing the whole thing back again seems forced. Is this really the same Neo; or just another reboot- the 8th iteration (There were 6 before the Matrix Trilogy). What do they hope to accomplish? Has the world outside the Matrix improved to the point that people no longer want to live in the Matrix given the option; and the Matrix is losing it's power source and brain for adaptation?
Damn, now I am going to have to watch it. Hope it lives up to the Trilogy.
Yeah... I'm interested in where they are going with it. I'm pretty sure they are playing with new iterations of characters we already know, like Neo & Morpheus.
I take it to mean the machines tricked us, and everyone was still in the Matrix after all.
The first one blew my mind the first time I saw it, and was by far the best of the three.
I hope this one is good.
I only saw the first Matrix and it was outstanding. Perhaps this newest one can be competition to the first.
I only saw the first one as well, and thought it was a pretty good movie. It will be a few years before they play this new one on cable TV here honouring the copyright. It will probably be shown in the theatres here soon because they love action movies in China, but I don't go to theatres - the only time I went was when a student invited me to join him and that was way back when they first showed the final Hobbit movie, which was in 4D. Getting bounced around, punched in the back and my face sprayed with mist was not particularly entertaining for me.
Another day... another trailer. This is about love and war.
This has some previously unseen footage and more about Trinity.
