This looks great! I wasn't a big Matrix fan back in the day at all (way more concerned with Star Wars over LOTR and Matrix) but over time I've grown to appreciate the first one to a level I didn't get at a young age.
There are a lot of questions I have that I am actually looking forward to getting answers to. The footage of the first movie that looks like it's included makes me wonder what we're getting. Hopefully it's as experimental and unpredictable as the first was at the time.

Hopefully it's as experimental and unpredictable as the first was at the time. My prediction is that the machines are tricking Neo that he is a movie star, and the Matrix 1-3 was all apart of his "acting" hence the fancy apartment, his 'agent' (GET IT?!) going "Back to where it all started, back to the Matrix." So, basically, they are trying to make it seem like what happened was just a movie, that is why we see shots from the first movie on big screens in the trailer. |

great prediction! I was getting that sense too...for sure some aspect of wall-breaking is going on. It's too bad more people aren't excited for this at the moment.

I agree that the new Matrix we're seeing is some kind of construct to contain Neo, and make him believe he's lived a life that wasn't the reality we saw in 1-3. I'm sort of leaning towards the idea that the Architect did a system reboot using an older backup of the Matrix. Wherein, he was able to stop Trinity and Neo from joining Morpheus, thus unfolding the events, catastrophic to the Matrix and Architect, that we saw in 1-3. The problem being, Neo is still the Chosen One, and Trinity still has this soulmate magnetism with him.
The Morpheus scenes we've seen in the trailer appear to be some kind of Resistance effort to wake up his remind. Repeat the steps from the first film that set him free in the first place. Unlock him to fight the machines in the same way.
The fist film is one of my favorite films of all time. One of the best sci-fi films ever made, imo. The second two I could have gone without, but this one can give more value to those films imo. So I'm really looking forward to what happens next. Wachowski takes creative risks. My expectation is for something we're largely not expecting on this one, for better or worse. I'd rather have her explore new ground with these characters than retread a paint by numbers script, and I'm not overly concerned with that problem on this one.

I finally caught up and watched all the sequels. The older sequels are ok but they're kind of boring for me personally. Some of those memorable action sequences are for sure pretty cool but I'm not as engaged by the universe they were trying to build and especially in Reloaded some of the stuff gets really over the top.
I thought Resurrections was good and found a pretty unique, all inclusive (reboot, remake, sequel, however you want to look at it) perspective and I don't understand the hate and lackluster response at all. Definitely worth the watch.
