If you look at imdb user reviews, then many people seem to be saying it is trash.

The script has some very interesting ideas and a really entertaining anger toward its own existence. The actual filmmaking however is really cheap and poorly done. Bad editing, bad shots, bad fight choreography.

Is it bad or is it just different from original Matrix and on a higher resolution/framerate? The cinematography reminded me of Jupiter Ascending which wasn't bad imo.

It's not just these things. The dialogue is so poorly written one wonders if the accusations surrounding the first Matrix lifting the script from another screenwriter were true. [1]

Who thinks writing in a MILF joke is an appropriate follow-up to such a classic (and classy) film?

I dunno, this comes off like some sort of hyperbolic fanboyism

Some of that is due to COVID restrictions.

"Hackers, game, and crypto developers will enjoy “Resurrections” immensely. The general audience might have a more tepid reaction, since one has to be a coder to really get all the references and insider humor."

Yes, but when you read the reviews, it seems that people who are Matrix fans also don't like it.
