The Matrix: Regurgitation

I haven't done a movie review in awhile. I normally don't have a lot to say about movies, but this one... good grief. 

Eighteen years ago, the Matrix trilogy ended. The original in 1999 was an absolute game changer. The sequels in 2003 were... meh. I liked them because I wanted to like them. The original asked more questions than it answered, and told more of a story than it actually told, whereas the sequels just answered them among a lot of action sequences. 

Like I said, I liked them because I wanted to. Beyond that they lacked the soul of the original.

But this fourth movie did nothing. It asked no questions it didn't quickly answer. The action sequences were a jumbled mess. People that died in the last movie were somehow alive (dues ex machina retconning the ending, always sucks).

It's just a mess. Nobody asked for this movie.
