The Matrix Resurrections Reaction Post

Now that I’ve seen the movie twice, presenting my big rambly mess of thoughts!!! 

Overall I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to rewatching again! I haven’t decided if I loved it as much as the OT, but that’s a very high bar for me since the trilogy is my all-time favorite story. I definitely think this was an extremely fun and cool way to continue it, and I’m glad it exists!!! (It also realllllly made me want 5 & 6, gosh!)

I’m gonna break this down in bullets because I’m still processing everything. Here we go!! Spoilers ahead.

favorite parts 

IO!!! omg I fucking loved IO.......give me an entire spin-off about the botanist/garden plz?? 

Trinity finally remembering and kicking her bot “husband’s” ass, A++

Neo and Trinity's real world reunion!!!!!! I really wish we saw more of them and their cute bald heads actually!!!!!!! 

Neo/Thomas once again enjoying some really good noodles

Very well-used flashbacks!

SATI AND HER PRETTY LITTLE SECRET GARDEN SIM HELLO PERFECTION

Basically everything in Act III OBVIOUSLY

“ANOTHER CHANCE” 💗

Closing on that brass cover of “Wake Up” was *chef’s kiss*

biggest surprises

LEXY 😍😍😍 marry me challenge??

Wholesome robot friends...surprisingly so great!

The new (magnetic?) tech for programs to walk around in the real world!!! Hello what!!!

Niobe’s flashback story about the machines fighting each other had me like ???!!! damn okay!

Berg’s fanboy crush on Neo, A++ 

stuff i’m a little ??? about (updated x2)

I’m not sure I get the purpose/benefit of the Anomalium for the current version of the matrix? Like, what percentage of energy are they harvesting from the two of them vs all the other pods?? Confused.

Also not sure I get why Zion was attacked again after the Analyst came to power.

Does it.....make sense for Trinity to open her eyes in the pod before she’s remembered herself?? Like yes sure maybe she felt a disruption with Neo being unplugged, but her briefly waking up felt really dramatic to me and there was no evidence that it had any effect on her? (I would have liked more scenes about Tiffany’s life tbh!)

and finally.....some small nitpicks

Seems like a missed opportunity not to show the (immersive??) gameplay of the Matrix games and/or if they had special hardware tech, etc!

As much as I love callbacks to 2 & 3, I’m not sure the Merovingian needed to be in this movie lol sry :/
