Matrix has become like Jaws: one all time CLASSIC movie with 3 unnecessary sequels. None of em are as bad as the shark's are, but they're all pretty eh. This one wasn't bad really, it was just mostly fine. NPH going full Barney Stinson during the heel turn was hilarious though and I'm unsure if that was intended or not Hey man! Jaws 3D and Jaws: The Revenge are so bad their good masterpieces.

I watched it tonight. Was alright. I doubt I’d be rushing to rewatch it any time soon but better than 2 & 3 at least and I enjoyed myself The new actors were enjoyable too {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Pitch Meetings guy has ruined movies for me lol (Okay not really) but when they escaped Io I could get hear the “Oh man that must have been hard to escape, super easy etc response”
And at the end I was thinking why couldn’t they just unplug everyone instead of fighting since as they said they don’t need to reach a phone line to do so and in my head I went “So the movie can happen”
Seriously though if anyone has an answer to those two that I missed that’d be great lol

Seriously, we need a side movie with Bugs. With a different director and writer (with the Wachowskis as simply overlookers).

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Honestly, my favourite parts of the movie were the game meetings early on, purely because I was laughing my head off at the image of Lana Wachowski absolutely stewing in her seat while a bunch of studio people tell her Matrix 4 is gonna happen whether she wants to or not, and arguing about political and trans allegories.

Oof, 22.5 million domestic opening (this includes Wednesday through Sunday)...
It could be it released same day on HBO Max, releasing on the second weekend of Spider-man:NWH, or the IP being older (and the sequels being considered crummy), but those are just excuses.
Looks like this is going into the time out corner along with the Terminator franchise.

My guess is there just wasn't demand for it. No one was especially asking for a new entry, it's about 20 years since the previous one, and even Matrix Revolutions did terribly compared to Reloaded. HBO Max certainly played a part but I just don't think the audience was there.

so do you need to see part 2 and 3 to understand it ? a good deal of the movie does relate to the events of 2 & 3

The Matrix getting a fifth (or sixth if you count Animatrix) bite at the apple is baffling.
A franchise that, in 25 years, has produced one good movie (or two, Animatrix mileage may vary) and then everything else was a straight dog turd. After Revolutions, we were done! It was over!
Then they brought it back and it wasn't bad, but it also was not good. That should have been it, now we're gonna do it again?
Boy, I can't wait to see Not Morpheus again.

I hope it's just Neo playing the original Shenmue for 3 hours.

As people have pointed out, it's not like Resurrections actually did any business. Of all the movies released simultaneously in theatres and on HBO Max, it took the least money in theatres and posted the lowest streaming numbers.

Maybe the next Matrix project should be a prestige TV series. Sense8 was better than any movie the Wachowskis have done since V For Vendetta if not the original Matrix movie.

I was half way through watching Matrix 4, when I got a call from a friend who’s car had broken down. So I went and helped him, came back home and realized that I didnt remember a single thing that happen in the movie. So I just never watched the rest. I dont see the point of the fifth

Maybe it'll be like Sony's "Spider Man Universe" films.
Almost all terrible, almost all unsuccessful, but they'll be damned if they're going to give up on a franchise.

I am actually ok with this. The Matrix films need a breath of fresh air by being by being done by somebody who isn't the Wachowskis.
