Resurrections was like someone saying, “Hey remember that awesome movie we made in the 90’s? Yeah that was so great…”

Axiom: You can only see The Matrix for the first time, once.

Unfortunately, no one can be re-told what the Matrix is.

I watched that trailer so many times... The video file was 15 MB, very high quality for the time. Could only run it at around 5 fps.

I saw Dark City first, so I wasn't able to see The Matrix for the first time even once. :-)

It's no The Thirteenth Floor

Haven't seen yet; I want to watch World on a Wire first.

It's no Existenz ;-)

All those three movies were my teenage-hood, with which I had no-one to share. Watched them with some friends, whose reactions were all "meh". Philistines!

How about The Truman Show?

Chef's kiss.

I feel like they did pretty good with this one though, it is THE MATRIX after all and nothing can ever live up to the first watch of the first movie. I actually laughed several times and that was new.

It made $124m so far, its not really an indictment about its quality they just spent too much more making it.

THE MATRIX IS SINGULAR

If the determinant is the revenue of Matrix 4, then yes.

I just watched ghostbusters: afterlife and it was very similar, except 1980s. Procedurally generated fan service.
