Blaze[Discussion] According to you, what was the most unnecessary and worst sequel of all time?
AndreyAsimowMatrix: Resurrections
Totally unnecessary sequel to a not so great 3rd part of a great franchise.
I felt unsafe watching it the whole time.
nieceandtowsI went in after not having watched any matrix movies in a very long time, and enjoyed it. I think people overprepared for the movie by watching all matrix movies back to back, and the movie ended up recapping the previous movies for 1/3rd of the runtime. It’s a true reboot for a new generation where you don’t need to have watched any of the previous movies. It’s enough if you just knew about them. That’s what I think.
maegul (he/they)I went in not expecting anything good of it (I think I had an intuitive hunch about exactly where it was going to come from) and ended up really enjoying it. I wouldn’t really recommend it to anyone and don’t think it’s “good” … but as a long time Matrix fan I feel like I could get where the film was coming from, and while watching it in the cinema, that was a unique experience.
Also, the idea of the new matrix being based not on consent to a fantasy but constantly unmet but tantalising satisfaction … I felt that and it was a good extension to the trilogy IMO.
