This was so awful, it's laughable.
There were some really good ideas about the nature of reality addressed in this.
In saying that, I never used this word for a film before, but this is just pure vomit.
1/10.
Yup. Estrogen is not the hormone of choice for men.
shareI couldn't finish it.
shareYeah this movie is awful and was a waste of time for everyone involved and also a waste of money for Warner Bros.
I was fine with this franchise being left as a trilogy, but yeah sure if Lana Wachowski came up with a good story for a fourth film I’d be up for that.
She didn’t and she decided to mock the fans, the studio and the idea of doing a sequel in the first place. If Lana felt that way so much then why did she even bother making this film?
Even more embarrassingly she doesn’t commit to this meta idea and she drops it halfway through the film as it then nosedives in to becoming the very thing it was mocking to begin with.
What a waste of Keanu’s and Carrie’s time, wtf was even the point.
1/10 from me as well.
Basically a "fuck you" to the studio, the NPCs, etc.
It felt like a shitpost.
It was little more than a very weak cash-grab on behalf of the Wachowski Freaks. In fact, if you watch the interview Lana had during the premiere, (s)he was very stoned and couldn't give a coherent answer to the reporter when they outright asked "Why did you make this movie?"
It also shows that the Wachowskis might not be that good at making movies after all, and took credit from more competent people working under them with previous films. We're only now hearing that there was a third Wachowski who actually wrote the original story for the trilogy and refused to participate in this sad-sack of a film. There must have also been some talented cinematographers that were not available when this film came about; people who came up with those amazing action scenes.
That, and I think all those ridiculous treatments fried the two trans Wachowskis' brains.
