The best part of this movie is it’s callbacks to the previous 3. I’m disappointed with this movie for a multitude of reasons. The first is they nerfed Neo. Based on the plot, of course he needs to jog his memory to get back in the swing of things, however the writers apparently thought it just wouldn’t come to fruition. Next, in every fight scene there was multiple frames where you could clearly see a pause between blows. It was rigid and not very well choreographed, which is sad because the whole point of a 2021 remake is to explore with today’s CGI and special effects, neither of which were capitalized on. Also, the entire (was trilogy) was based on the development and savior principle of ‘The One’. In this remake they abandoned the very core of the story to make way for a new development. Overall the acting was good amongst the characters and I don’t think they should be remembered by a terrible failure courtesy of the writers, directors, and cinematographers. Leaving the movie open for a sequel to the reboot was drastically optimistic. Ultimately, I’m disappointed and far more impressed with The Matrix movies made in the 90’s than the cash grab film they composed. The actors and fans deserved a lot better.
