Film: Matrix Resurrections

Dead on arrival...too bad. Because Keanu plays depressed middle aged man incredibly well. And damn, if Carrie Ann Moss still doesn't command the frame. Some of the new cast was fine to look at. But the writing and story design lacked. Did every proper scene need to be a total info dump? Was it too much trouble to bother creating character chemistry? Why didn't they scrap the entire beginning and enter on Keanu as a depressed middle aged game designer seeing a shrink, etc. Incorporate clever nods to the past movies and how the memories lurk within Neo...

And the meta sequel stuff was annoying.

UPDATE: The only thing worse than watching the Matrix is reading The Ringer commentary on it.
