I really liked #MatrixResurrections. I'm sure that's going to be an unpopular take, but I thought Keanu was compelling AF the whole time, NPH was excellent, and every single thing they did with Trinity was fantastic. Also young Morpheus looked cool.
Philosophically, look, no one can be told what the Matrix is, for them. *For me,* I really felt the Matrix-as-Fake-News allegory and the question that drives me, at least, is why so many people accept it, and I liked Wachowski's answer so far.
Also, I'll just note that Keanu and Carrie-Ann are the only white cishet couple I could see IN THE WHOLE DAMN MOVIE, and if that's not cool to you, I don't know what to tell you.
Finally, I think I went in with the right level of expectations.
A: I *liked* the originals. ALL THREE OF THEM. I liked the Matrix allegedly canonical MMO. I like the universe, not just the kung-fu.
B: I'm old. "Choice is not all it's cracked up to be" is a message I like now.

Anyway, yay Matrix. Yay, liking things. Happy Holidays.
