Abysmal. Began with a relatively interesting idea of The Matrix being a game and a few knowing quips about remaking the same product before descending into an incomprehensible farce which resembled one of those dreadful pop videos which try to integrate scenes from a movie for which the band has recorded the soundtrack. These scenes from the original only served to remind me of how far superior it was. The rest was references to the original or scenes that resembled the popular scenes from the original, only broken up by long explanations which tried to clarify what was going on. There was an enthusiastic girl with blue hair who ran around like a latter day Scrappy Doo, trying to enliven an old product for a young audience while a woman from one of the other movies did a terrible impression of an old woman. By the finale when people began throwing themselves out of windows, I knew how they felt. I will always love the original Matrix but this was bad, really bad.
