The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
The Most Misunderstood Movie of All Time
Let me just quote the new Agent Smith here. He says this to Neo when they talk about making a sequel to the Matrix Trilogy games inside the movie: "Warner Brothers has decided to make a sequel to the trilogy. They informed me they're gonna to do it with or without us. They made it clear they would kill our contract if we didn't cooperate."
Now ask this question again: "why did Lana Wachowski make this movie?"
Yes if you treat it as a serious sequel, the movie is indeed laughably bad, but once you understand the notions and intentions behind it, you'll have to respect and admire Wachowski's boldness and ingenuity.
This entire movie is a satire. It's made to mock Warner Bros' greed and shameless attempt at milking a franchise with no regard for the fans, the creators, and the artwork itself.
The Matrix Resurrections is a big fat middle finger to Warner Bros and their corporate greed. I say Bravo, Lana Wachowski, well played!
Army of the Dead (2021)
What the...
I like what Zack Snyder did with DCEU, but man what a mess this movie is! Cliched dialogues, nonsensical plot, and cringeworthy performances. Plus all those "nuclear" grenades, I would've thought it was a Michael Bay film, if I hadn't known who directed it.
Dave Bautista (as Scott Ward) and Tig Notaro (as Marianne Peters) did a decent job in my opinion, and the other ones, not so much, but with scripts like this, I don't blame the actors.
If you plan on grabbing a beer and simply shutting off your brain for 2.5 hours during the movie, you will probably still end up wondering what on earth you've just watched.
The Lie (2018)
The Most Far-Fetched Twist I've Ever Seen.
Q1: Would you lie to the police and falsely accuse your best friend's father of child abuse so that your best friend could run away for a couple of days to see their SO?
Q2: Would you throw your purse (assuming you have one) in a river and break your cell phone in order to pretend to be pushed off a bridge by your best friend to play a joke on your parents?
Q3: Would you scream at your parents and yell you were a terrible person and you killed your best friend because of your Dad when you knew this was a prank all along?
If your answers to all of these are "yes", this might be the movie for you.
