If only they focused on making a good story instead of trying to call that aborted twitter post a movie.

And here i was thinking it did not suck

Don't forget, estrogen pills were usually red when the original matrix came out
DianNaoChong
The entire movie is a troll, more than 22 jump street, it's wild
KobaandChurchill4eva
Let's be honest: the wachowskis never were what you would call GOOD directors.

Christina Ricci made it worth while for me.

I noticed he was holding the deja vu cat in the trailer.

This pandemic showed me that the incompetent people in commercials are real people and they take up about 50% of the population.
Topherhov
Terrible movie. It was like a theme park ride movie. The people in it are familiar, but then it's filmed like a bad Dr. Who episode.
CrimeThinker
Hollywood needs less nepotism. The Wachowski sisters don't make movies as good as the Wachowski brothers did.

I hate this comment, but also love this comment?
ministryofpeace
Apparently it was made poorly on purpose.
CitizenPrime
It looks like Matrix, sounds like Matrix ...but it's not Matrix
Someshithead241
The films been out like, a day? And people are already doing this bullshit. Fuck me, does no one wait atleast a week anymore?
FuturePerfectTense
If you don’t understand the red pill reference being from the first movie, no amount of spoiler tags is gonna save you.
Someshithead241
Its also a reference to the current film. That's why it says its name in the post.
LCMcG
Wait a week for what? There aren't any spoilers here...
Someshithead241
Not the post. But every post having Keanu in it is littered with them. I just want to see the immortal and laugh and not get spoiled.
meatballdreamer
So disappointed with the movie :-(
Every1friend
huge fucking fan of matrix was hoping they would not shit the bed
Rebullo
You have my condolences
Ribaldrie
I’ve waited on Lilly several times, she’s pretty dope
Every1friend
new one was uncalled for and feels like they are going to make more:(
Admeus
What an awful movie
FabulouslyTiti
I just watched it. So glad that I didn't pay any money for it. What a piece of crap.
PineappleLoopsBrOether
I enjoyed 2 & 3 just for stupid fun (like a bonus round) …. 4 was a fucking insult.
Admeus
A fucking insult is well said
PineappleLoopsBrOether
FabulouslyTiti
Aw, really? I was sincerely hoping for something similar to the first one. Guess I won't be paying to see this one then. :(
tattoogigolo
It was fine. Does HBO Max have a trial period? Maybe do that.
FabulouslyTiti
They do, but I need a credit card to start it. Soooo nope!
schlockchurch
I know of a worthwhile way.
shutdafuccup
the answer to a question nobody asked
AndrewS816
More Cash In Crap from Hollywood, no surprise really since Matrix 2 & 3 were the same... Dark City is a better movie anyway.
yello0
I saw yesterday.. big fan.. but DAYM. Its the equivalent of the last season of “Game of Thrones.”

tzahtman
I didn't really like the last two that much so planning on just watching in HBOmax at some point.
ministryofpeace
Haven't bothered yet, but heard they tanked it deliberately

Dionysus187
Only explanation I saw was you had to understand 2 and 3 WELL to have any chance of appreciating it. Not a big fan in general, though.
MithridateEupator
It absolutely wasn't. It started off quite strong, only the endin..... damn it, it was the last season of GoT wasn't it?

Strong start, very meta, mind bending existential, doing great... oh, weird chase, random enemies with no reason attack, 4th wall? what?
FlyingButtPliers
The merivin-again for some reason battle - then he just disappears? Agents can't block a bunch but can dodge bullets. His name is CHAD?
DuxNautarum
The writing is horrifically bad and heavy-handed. Bleh.
FlyingButtPliers
I feel like they had a great movie in the works and then about half way through had to hand something in
DickMercenary
So.. like basically every Wachowski movie since the original Matrix?
KilliK69
shame the movie is crap. just like the two other sequels.
numbonvalium
Matrix 4 starts off making a joke of nostalgia bait, and member berries, then proceeds to become that joke from that point forward.
dangerbuckley
You called it. I paid attention for about 70 minutes
WaveMotionGum
I've started calling things like this a term I picked up from a discussion of trash ghostwritten novels. Continuity Porn.
sesnut
i like how they mention bullet time as the thing to remember then show us that "i took some drugs" scene in the garage that looks awful

OnlyDaftPunkGifs
Was I the only one who enjoyed it? I thought the meta commentary was cool.
FuturePerfectTense
The meta commentary was what I hated the most. I GET it, but didn’t need studio jokes so incessantly shoved in my face. It was self-serving.
Vallete
I actually really liked it? (Especially Neil Patrick Harris's performance) sorry?
GenXHippie
You weren't the only one, but we are in the minority on this one.

MithridateEupator
I liked everything except the last 10 minutes, felt like they forgot they had to make an ending and rushed it in 3 days with a 10$ budget.
OnlyDaftPunkGifs
That’s fair. The mystery of what was going on in the first 25 minutes got me hooked though!
MithridateEupator
oh definitely
BednaR
Apparently the new one is meh
Wrenfield
That's being kind.

bravo.
schlockchurch
I enjoyed most of the movie. Didn't enjoy NPH ... He didn't fit for me. Really disliked 3rd act. Wasn't a proper conclusion. Seemed more a >
schlockchurch
> set up for another trilogy. I had high hopes, mildly dashed, still was all right.
[deleted]

schlockchurch
That's fair. I really like NPH in general, I just didn't think he was adequately sinister for this role ... Still, whatever, not the worst.
APersonofSomeDescription
He was a pretty huge douchebag in a very offensively trite way, but being trite was kind of his point as a character almost?
randomname27329
Can someone explain?
newsguycraigevans
20 years ago they made this one movie called the Matrix. It was awesome and there were never any sequels. It was a happy ending.

Correction, 2 brother's who have since become trans. They were not back then
AStupidWeeb
The red pill was red because Estrogen pills were red at the time, & the 1st movie is all about rejecting conformity and being yourself.
IWantedOneOfThoseLongUsernamesTooSoIGotOne
No leftists use "woke" any more and haven't for years. It's like "politically correct" - a few people said it sincerely a few times...
ProgeriaProstitutes
The term "politically correct" has widely been in use for a really long time now.
IWantedOneOfThoseLongUsernamesTooSoIGotOne
...and then the right jumped on it and turned it into "THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY ARGLE BARGLE!!1!11!!"

I didn't think they were actually twins

They aren't.

Two awful human beings reference The Matrix and one of the creators of the series tells them to go fornicate elsewhere.
liquinas
I think most ppl seeing this get that. But how is that "The ultimate stick it to the man move" ?
tzahtman
I didn't think it was most people being explained to but the person asking but as to the latter question no idea.
stja
The entire movie is one giant fuck you to rehash culture, publishers milking old IPs for money in general, and to WB specifically, by name.
stja
IToldYouSo1
No spoilers! When you know you know ??✌
randomname27329
Not the movie. The red pill part.
uzerok
From what I gathered from the people using it, it's the conservative analogue to wokeness, but usually the stupid version.
randomname27329
Thank you
firehawkcultist
"take the red pill" is a right wing troll slogan online supposed to mean they're "woke/enlightened" through conservatism because in the
firehawkcultist
original Matrix Neo is offered 2 pills, a blue one that'll let him continue to dream and a red one that wakes him up from the matrix.
firehawkcultist
American conservatives associate themselves w/ the color red and "libs/communism/everyone they hate" w/ blue (ironically red means communism
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Not sure what it means in this specific context, but the expression is derived from the first Matrix movie and basically means seeing (1)
TheWombatStrikesAgain
through an illusion and see the world for what it really is. And of course it has been appropriated by some very delusional people. (2)
HootSloot
The red pill was the one Morpheus offered neo to wake up from the matrix to the real world. The right wing has reappropriated red pilled
HootSloot
As a term referring to becoming conservative. Though that is pretty much the opposite of the plot of the matrix.
HootSloot
Worth noting the Wachowskis are trans women and Lana supported Bernie.
miked854
Lilly Watchowski looks like a stoner in Whoville
Buttercupsbaby
I think that's actually Lana. Lilly wasn't as involved in the new film, but spot on description lol.
Freak0zoid
I think it’s Lana. And she reminds me of the kid in the “freestyler” videoclip.
BananaParagon
Don't drag people for their appearances. People don't owe you anything.
Nader393
I see what you did with the word drag.
BananaParagon
It wasn't intentional.
mustardburp
And yet here we are putting our own meaning into the words you said without consideration of intent...
BananaParagon
Was there any other interpretation of the original comment other than being insulting her?
Dionysus187
Stop trying to police people's thoughts.
BananaParagon
Stop trying to police mine, then.
Dionysus187
I'm not trying to police your thoughts, I didn't say you could or couldn't say or think anything.
Dionysus187
Saying or thinking an observation is entirely different from telling people to stop making that observation.
Insanepixi
I didn't take it as negative. Was it meant that way?
miked854
Nope. It's just funny to see Thing 1 in the middle of a bunch if techno goths.
mutedia
and he doesn't owe people anything.
LooseyGooseyBrett
Is Lilly anyone special?
KingDD83
Co-creator of The Matrix.
natachan
She was Andy (?)
brisketdotcom
Please don't deadname trans people
Buttercupsbaby
I came back to say this, thank you.
natachan
(genuine question) but then how do you explain who they used to be? The person asked who Lilly was as if she was new to the project /1
natachan
So how to explain that she is one of the original creators but under her "deadname" and as both transitioned to explain who is who?
