I refuse to dislike the Matrix trilogy.
>>221864485i too am a degenerate
>>221864485based
>>221864485There was just no reason for more story after the end of the first movie. No new meaningful ground was covered.
>>221864485i don't like it's regarded as a trilogyit was because of trends mostlyreloaded and revolutions are pretty much one whole sequel
>>221864485I like the fourth movie the most.
>>221864559it never was about any fucking story
>be me >live in a city with retarded urban planning>have to take the middle lane into a bridge because if i take the left lane that would get me to the neighboring town >take the left lane unnoticed so i have to drive 5 km for the detour>*Mona Lise Overdrive starts playing *
>>221864588grrr!
>>221864559you don't have to like the sequels, but this is such a dogshit take>the machines>zion>the matrix's creation>agents and smith>smith getting uploaded into a real human body
>>221864485*quadrilogyYou forgot about the Animatrix
>>221864485>>221864576>trilogy
>>221864485I love it too. I don't even think Reloaded and Revolutions are bad cuz i love watching them despite recognizing they lack the punch of the originalAnd yet i just couldn't bring myself to watch Matrix 4
also>dude we live in a simulation >somehow it is disappointing for fans when the twist is revealed even if it was glaring in the original Reloaded was babby’s first pleb filter and probably even better than the original. Only mutts will disagree
>>2218644851st one is a masterpiece2nd one is mediocre3rd one is shit
The rave scene in Reloaded is unironically a pleb filter
>>221864485The continuation of the story was questionable, I don't need an explanation for everything after a movie, I'm perfectly fine with a cliffhanger or open questions.But Reloaded was an absolute banger when it comes to simply being entertained and the VFX.It's like Mad Max Fury Road. I don't watch that movie for the deeply moving and questions-generating "story".
>>221864682It's a Hexology. It's unironically not a joke that the two games are canon to the movies. Ghost and Niobe's entire storyline is in them. Scenes in Reloaded pick up right after events in the game which is why several movie scenes seem really weird and clipped.
>>2218644851 was best
>>221865494>I just want pretty flashing lights and splosions. It doesn't have to make sense or tell a story. That's for nerds!You are so proud of being a moron. That's a key symptom of low iq.
>>221865494They constructed a literal fucking highway for the Reloaded car chase scene. We will never get this level of filmmaking again. Even the biggest budget imaginable can't buy such pure passion and dedication.
2 becomes kino if you remove the Zion scenesidk why but almost all of the Zion scenes in 2 and 3 are bad. Something about them ruins the vibe
>>221864559>No new meaningful ground was coveredExcept the biggest plot point in the entire lore that the machines taking Zion and the one starting over again is a deliberate thing the machines make happen
>>221865833>bunch of black hobos raving underground>something about themCurious.
>>221865833The Zion scenes are fantastic though. They expand the world and finally reveal details about the setting that the audience has been waiting a long time to see. To seethe in butthurt about the scenes just because you saw some brown skin is quite retarded.
>>221864485the whole premise of the movie is stupid:>humans blocked the sun entirely>thus killing all life on the planet earth, while the machines can still use a thousand different ways to generate energy>nuclear, ocean waves, wind, geothermal, or just come up with fusionthe whole premise is retarded.
>>221865833Because they made the world too big. It was so much better when it was nothing more than a small ship and its crew.Showing an entire society with massive celebrations and political drama was a big mistake.
>>221865981oh and the whole:>machine revolution!will never happen.like terminator, or matrix.wanna know why?just.... turn the power off.
>>221865969Expanding the world/lore is sometimes a bad thing. Just look at Halo. Some franchises do better if they're more low key and mysterious.
>>221866028based and good comment
>>221866028>>221866133dumbass and cringe comment.expanding beyond 1 small ship was fine, the movies is screwed at the concept level it was all about the cool action scenes anyway.
>>221865981apparently the og draft for the first movies the humans were meant to be used as compute for the machines and not batteries but they felt like that was too nerdy and complicated for normgroid audiences
>>221864485Reloaded and Revolutions are underrated, but Resurrections is non-canon trash. And the first Matrix film is the best, always and forevermore.
>>221866200>expanding beyond 1 small ship was fine>it was all about the cool action scenes anywayThere were no cool action scenes beyond the ship you schizo faggot
I didn't hate resurrections
>>221864485I thought Resurrections was fantastic desu I was high when I watched it though
>>221864485Sure but it was just one movie. It's a shame they never made any sequels, but maybe it was for the best.
>>221864485I refuse to watch the sequels, checkmate.
>>221865821weren't the Smiths in 3's final fight also a fuck load of actual mannequins
>>221864485YEAH!
Why didn't more sci-fi series do shit like this? Hire interesting animators to do little spin-offs in their universe. Blade Runner 2049 had that Youtube anime short, but otherwise nobody really attempted anything like this again.Were the video games good? Worth emulating?
>>221868921they didn't have an entire rejected script to work off of
>>221868961ITS LINETRAP
>>221864485Smart man
>>221865833Zion scenes are so fucking cringe
2 is the best movie. 1 was really good, but it was straightforward hero's journey, which has been done a million times. 2 was an attempt to move beyond the hero's journey. It's far from perfect, but it's bold and creative. More philosophical than the first, which filtered normies.
>>221869005Is that really how the Animatrix came to be? It wouldn't really make sense for them to have spawned from one script considering how much time it spans, they're all pretty different conceptually
>>221868921https://youtu.be/WlRMLZRBq6UThe robotic four horsemen galloping to techno music as humanity fails to kill the machines is one of the most epic things I've ever fucking seen in animation
>>221864485So have these mfs functionally been able to retire off of residuals from The Matrix alone?
I love my Matrix DVD boxset.
>>221869301It's sad how the art of good DVD packaging has been lost.
>>221864485>barrier disappearing.jpeg
>>221868921Yes, the video games are good. They're worth watching a playthrough on youtube. They have full scenes made with the same equipment, actors, and effects as the movie. You can choose either Ghost or Niobe and there's a whole plot arc for them that fleshes out the Merovingian, Persephone, and their minions. It was a very bold and interesting idea they did making it a multimedia experience. However, it kind of screws over the movies now since so many can't experience that side content or even know that it's a thing. So you watch the movies and just get a sense that things are missing or skipped.
>>221869162No, it was never "rejected". That's stupid headcanon from butthurt nerds angry that directors dared to flesh out their story. They always intended for it to be a trilogy and to have a much deeper and complex world than could be shown in three movies. So they used the Animateix and games to show those aspects. They're the perfect prequel/sidequel avenues, but still whiners are going to whine.
>>221869432That's not that much of a problem, the only thing that really feels missing is when everyone keeps mentioning the EtM Oracle sideplot
I went to a church for the first time last Sunday snd was making my rounds introducing myself before the sermon started. The guy I was talking tos name was Trinity (gay lol) and my name is he name of one of the matrix actors.So I was like, well, at least we got associated with a good movie! He just said yeah... almost said something, then walked to tend to his kids.So jow I'm wondering. Did he not like it bevaue of the gnosticism? Did he feel the movie was against God in some way? Or was he simply just saying "yeah..."This wiĺ keep me up all night it was since that sunday
>>221869759You don't know how the trinity relates to church and God?
>>221869661Everything to do woth the Osiris warning Zion is missing, so you're wondering wtf everyone is talking about. The Merovingian's henchmen are sorely underdeveloped since they have hours of stuff about them in the games. Simply watch the movies and you're left guessing and wondering things that are confirmed in the games. The entire power station destruction is removed. Simply watch the movie and Morpheus is talking over very fast forwarded, abbreviated clips of that mission where you're left wondering if they ran out of time/money to film it or are just amatuers who slapped it together at the last second. No other movie would have such an important series of events just be flashes of action then finished in a confusing way. But the reason behind it is that it's fleshed out in the games.
>>221865981Morpheus didn't actually know that for certain, it was a theory
>>221869199She cute.Name?
>>221864485yeah
>>221871010Morpheus was literally lied to by the Oracle and everything he knew was another form of control by the Machines. It's like the everyone that complains about these movies simply didn't pay attention and just spouts surface level criticisms from reading the wiki
>>221864485> shoots at car> car explodesdumb slop
>>221864485>Matrix trilogyIt's a quadrilogy The first three films are undone by the fourth.
Reloaded > Revolutions = Enter
>>221864983100%. it shows humanity in a very raw way that's totally alien to artificial intelligence. it's a visceral celebrationReloaded is God-tier. people just don't understand it, as you said. it's more ambitious than The Matrix, though the first one is obviously still excellent
>>221870172Yeah, in Catholicism they follow the tri-une God. Its a girls name
>>221871214>It's like the everyone that complains about these movies simply didn't pay attention and just spouts surface level criticisms from reading the wikithat's /tv/ and largely contrarian behavior in general. why would you expect this place to be full of intelligent people? it has a higher concentration of trannies and the bad kind of autists and antisocial people than universities and white-collar workplaces, and many people there are already stupidtaking /tv/ criticisms as a whole seriously makes you as foolish as the average anon is
>>221864983That shit was gay af. You can tell those trannies have never been to an actual rave at any point in their lives ever.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kASusT4mJ-Y
>>221864485I used to love it, but all the action now seems passé, you can see when the wire flying stunts mess up slightly, like they do a hands-less cartwheel but spin just a little too far, everything is just black and green cuz 80s computer screens or w/e just makes it too drab to look at, the philosophizing in the sequels is 9yo tier.I'm not even saying this because the directors are troons. I saw the first in theaters 3 times, legit. It was amazing at the time, but the spectacle has faded, and the actual movie itself leaves a lot to be desired. You can't go home again. I don't like that it's like this.I still love Dark City, the Star Wars trilogy, Rocky 1-4, and plenty of other older things, but The Matrix just doesn't hold up, even the first one. It's babby's first philosophy class, and then you move on. I honestly wish I could like it as much as I did back in 1999.
>>221872223I should've gotten quads for that one. Fate cheated me.
>>221872257Even the forum software knows you're gay.
>>221872070You're the one who called it a rave, not them. It was just an excuse to party with friends and dance to music before robots came to kill everyone and destroy their city. You're a seething idiot that's literally making up nonsense to be angry about.
>>221865833If you dont have them, then you lose the architect revealing theyve destroyed zion and the anomaly known as neo- and all youre left with is an old guy that wanta to fatten up trinity
>>221872281ur mom gey nigr
>>221872291>It was just an excuse to partyWith that many people it's called a rave, dildoboi. They even tried to emulate the piss-weak prog trance popular at the time and failed miserably. Look, I get that you're a pre-op loser brewing freebass HRT in a bathtub with plastic bags larping as a misshapen abomination, but come on dude, get your fucking shit together you stubbled overweight child predator.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EotKUUSBJmk
the first one is the only good one anyway
>lol slo mo kung fu man go brrrIt's kino.
>>221864559>No new meaningful ground was covered.Stfu retard>>221864485They're pretty fun. The first was amazing, and although 2 and 3 weren't nearly as good, I like the plot and the lore expansion shit. I never saw 4 and I never will because bringing Neo and Trinity back to life was probably some gay asspull contrivance.
>>221864485Wait its a trilogy? I saw the first one in theaters Saw the second one too but it suckedDid the 3rd one go straight to DVD like the butterfly effect trilogy?
