It's terrible. I am so disappointed in the story, and look of the movie. It looks like a made for TV movie. Some effects are so cheap, but besides the look, the script is awful for a "silver screen" follow up.

I have no doubt good man Keanu read the script and thought to himself, (are they serious? Ok, I'll do it if that's what they want, I'll give most of the money away to the creative team).

I am so disappointed that I wish I never watch it, it's so detached in style and story that, in a way it ruins the trilogy just knowing it exists.

There are certain movies that shape the movie industries for decades to come. The original Matrix from 1999 was so fresh and shocking that up to this date it is unbelievably good and even though the second and the third movies were not on par with the original one they were still very solid.

That said, anything that is based on the initial Matrix legacy will be so much more anticipated and expected by millions of fans, therefore the disappointment will be even worst if the movie fails to deliver.

And to my great disappointment this one failed to deliver. Even compared to a 22 year old original movie the cinematography and the atmosphere, in my personal opinion, are on a very mediocre level similar to that of low budget Asylum movies. The cast play is also something I would not want to see in anything related to Matrix.

I have no idea how they made our beloved Keanu to participate in this thing.

As I said, movies such a Matrix are benchmark for most of us, especially millennials, and when they fail, it hurts even more.

I hope they will stop making more sequels and prequels of Matrix as they have proven that they can only harm the legacy with this.

I think everyone was expecting a lot better senario than this one.. This is not a casual serie this is MATRIX it deserves some respect and more effort.

Looked forward to this film. After watching it I ask why was this made. The script was as dated as the main characters, the fight scenes pointless and the finale predictably poor. Someone give me this time back.

Shiiiiit as fuuukk what is this you killed the trilogy and why Keanu accepted it script is trash and who are those trach actors i rewatched the trilogy to see this movie but i really got disappointed.

So disappointed, there was so much potential and so many directions the story could have gone, but instead, they showed clips from previous movies and stuck with the played-out love story between Neo and Trinity. Very disappointed, and I would NOT recommend this movie.

The first Matrix blew my mind.

This Matrix is the icing on the cake.

I've meditated many times and what I've found is that our mind is very dangerous and beautiful.

I've witnessed people being hypnotized and were told that a cat scratched them, and sure as the sky is blue, a scratch appears on the forearm. Another time i saw a person convinced that he was lifting a balloon and in fact it was a 75 lbs kettle ball with a string. So if that's what our mind is capable of. Maybe this reality is but an illusion. Now back to the Matrix, it's not for everyone, unless you have an open mind. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.

What an embarrassing sequel to a great Trilogy ( well , most of it was " great " in my eyes anyway ) The movie makes fun of itself as in they were trying to make a spoof of itself . Was this supposed to " funny " to us ? I just don't get it. Yeah , CGI was decent but who cares when the script and main characters we all grew to love , weren't there anymore. I almost found this movie to be confusing ( in a bad way ) Why couldn't they come up with a much better and interesting script ??? The only thing I'm glad about is that I didn't pay anything to see this " masterpiece " You can figure out how I did it ;)

The Matrix is one of my favorite films ever. Firstly, because of what it said. It was a prescient, dystopian commentary about the world that seems to be increasingly hurdling towards us. Secondly, because of how it said it. So many elements felt ground-breaking, from the script, which was littered with many memorable lines, the cinematography, the memorable characters, etc.

This latest installment, unfortunately, falls way short of the Matrix legacy. You will be disappointed. Gone are the memorable lines and layered story telling. Indeed, the screen play felt like it was in shambles. Many elements just did not work for me or were just confusing. For example, whatever was going on with Agent Smith. I don't know if the story was just not well thought out or if key elements ended up on some cutting room floor.

Reeves and Moss just really never achieve the chemistry needed to pull off the premise and you were just constantly being reminded that their characters were shadows of their former selves. The incessant flashbacks also did not help. Whose idea was that? Less is more.

Finally, unlike the first film, where even the minor characters where memorable, most of the performances here were disjointed and forgettable. No wonder. It seemed to me like being one of Lana's favorite people she worked with in the past was the primary driver of casting versus if the actor actually fit the role. The movie felt more like a series of cameos than a serious attempt to tell a story. That statement, on second thought, may be unfair to those actors. I know many of these guys to be really excellent. Brian J Smith, Max Reimelt, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, to name a few. So, I guess I just don't have an explanation for why their performances felt so disjointed.

To be sure, on the other hand, some performances just really rose way above the limits of the material. Despite not having a lot to work with, Niel Patrick Harris' performance was definitely outstanding and a ray of light. Jonathan Groff also did a good job reprising the Agent Smith character. With a little more help from the script, he too would have been able to add a new dimension to the Matrix mythology.

What we watch Romeo and Juliet love story after this years this is the movie they made? It's was a terrible movie. No fight no excited sciens. This was second movie make me down on this year.

This is far from what I have was anticipating. The flashbacks were pointless and the story line seemed very lazy for a production that had a trilogy that was and still is timeless. The legacy should have been kept intact if the producers weren't able to come up with a better script.

Visually, acting, story is good... Bad reviews are because people can't sit and watch a movie anymore (all addicted to fast pace media).

I waited that it went on sale because of the bad reviews.

I waited that it was on sale because of the bad reviews. The movie is good (better than the other 3 matrix). But I deleted tic-toc a week ago so I'm able to slow down to Hollywood pace.

Turned off after one hour. The acting was tired. Story overly comp!icated. No Morphes or Agent Smith. Minimum 150 characters in review so I have to continue with how bad this movie is.
