It was disappointing to say the least. I'll try not to spoil the movie if you have not yet watched it. This review is from some one who grew with the franchise and an actual programmer. I will however have to spoil some from the first movies in order for you to understand where my disappointment comes from. THE SENSE 8 CAST Lana Wachowski, the director from Matrix resurections was also the director for Sense 8, in this Netflix show 8 people with supernatural powers were able to communicate and share their lives with each other, but why am I talking about Sense 8? Well, 4 of those 8 characters participated in Matrix and worked with the main characters to develop the plot of the movie. In addition, the camera work seemed to have been transferred from Sense 8 to this new installment of The Matrix. Now, this may be nothing at first and could be quite fun, but this concatenation of characters can make you beleive that you are watching an installment of Sense8 instead. NEO (ONE) The main character in the Matrix trilogy, The One that we call Neo was the character where the whole show revolved around, the trilogy were focused on the development of this character, how he was born, grew as the one and died as Neo, the one. If you think hard on these movies you'll see that there is no range to extend his storyline, that's why on the 3rd installment he and trinity should've die. The purpose was to free Zion and brings peace, and the objective was achived, but somehow on the 4th installment we find his "Resurection". Yes it does seems corny and you'll feel identified specially if you see the Trilogy. THE TONE On the first movie the story is about Mr. Anderson, a programmer tired of the cyclonic living with nonsense existance, many would feel identified with an 9 to 5 job with a living cycle of work, eat sleep until he meets a "white rabbit". The tone used to show these sad feeling was a grey, green tone and this tone remains over all the trilogy and it only changes when Neo is out of the Matrix, the the tone is changed to a dark blue. These are characteristics of the saga that were not passed along to Matrix 4. COCLUSION If you can well see it now, Matrix does not seemed a continuation of the trilogy, far from it the  new installment looks like a new season for Sense8 that no one asked for, the plot of 5his movie never fit and with all honestly it seems like it was rushed and not well funded.

I tried liking it. As a former fan of the original show I saw it upon myself to watch this show, motivated by the dtory line and the plot of it I was expecting to see either a continuation of the story or even a replication of the actual show, but I've never been more wrong. One of the biggest disappointments in this show are Fay Valentine, Radical Ed, Visous, and constant bad acting from extras, it almost felt as if this was a youtube video instead of a Netflix show. Fay's character in this show, although never depicted in the original show came out to be bisexual, short and older than the original character, her story line was changed to fit the show's purpose, but it completely remodeled the show to the point where the show should change the name. Radical Ed does not even show on most of the show and in many episodes where the character should've show the TV show makes Ed's existance as none. Radica Ed's aparence is non existance even when the actual appearance was necessary, many episodes required Ed to be in the show, but the show made not even reference to her existance when it was necessary. Vicious character is a character full of determination and evilness but only few times Vicious cared to show his insane personality during the original show, while on Netflix's show his personality is seen to be unhinged all the time. For this and many other reasons I can't give any stars to the live action of my favorite show and nothing would be better than to see Netflix remaking the show the proper way.
