which way to the MACHINES?
Chiming in as someone who had no idea Matrix 4 was coming out.

2 and 3 just had too much scope creep with dumb religious imagery tacked on. The first was great because it had such a rich concept but they didn't really shoot for the moon with the story, it was just a tight action flick.

dark fate was the last decent terminator movie since 2

although a sick part of me really enjoyed the very last part of 3

e: it was the really big computers and radio equipment :tinfoil:

the best terminator sequel past 2 is the TV show

dude, you gotta end it on the rhyme

where they went with the latter two just ignored everything they did with the end of the first. ‘omg hes doing his flying thing so fast!!!’ is dumb because flying isn’t special in itself, but flying is him transcending the rules of the matrix

the fight choreography was spectacle and weightless. having a lot of smiths isn’t a threat

none of the other poo poo (architect, zion, etc.) made any sense either from an in world or narrative pov

also the wachowskis read a book that everyone had to be miserable on a film set so no one had fun doing a billion takes

they also had the plot continue across the matrix mmorpg, they really thought that they could convince people to consume non-movie-format parts of the franchise if they had those parts of the canon exclusive to them

lol imagine if you had to play a video game to figure out what was going on between the second and third star wars sequels, like they just throw you in media res into rise of skywalker and never go back and explain it

it apparently only costs like $150 to book a theater for a private showing. i bet i could convince my bubble of 5 people to go and see dune for 30 bucks each.

granted that's not imax but still better than watching it on a tv

it would be neat if they had to track down cipher and recreate neo from what cipher thought he was like/would be like

$30/person for a private showing isnt bad at all. i'd pay that. maybe $40-50 for a private imax showing

how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?
I'm interested in Matrix 4 if only to find out why Neo, Trinity, and even Niobe are back, but not Morpheus. like, wtf. they apparently didn't even ask Laurence Fishburne if he wanted to be in it. what sort of story can you tell in that world that doesn't include the big dog

also I wonder if they'll resurrect their original idea, which is that humans were used to increase the machines' processing power

they clearly didn't understand (or just flat out didn't notice) the gnosticism underpinning the story they ripped off for The Matrix so the sequels are sort of a mishmash of Lutheranism and Buddhism
