So, Matrix Resurrection. It's not half as bad as some have made out, not even close, but it reminds me a lot of Trainspotting 2. It's a sequel nobody needed, and is caged in every dimension by the past, so they make a little meta joke out of it. The whole time. Is it necessary? Is any art necessary? I honestly don't know.

It falls short of the innovative high of the original films, but Wachowski knows this isn't repeatable - that's a cornerstone of the film. But I didn't understand the third act at all. It wasn't comprehensible to me. For all that I quite enjoyed it.

I didn't mind the ersatz Morpheus so much, but the antagonist didn't really work for me at all. They really needed someone with Hugo Weaving's weight in that role. Instead we got some valley chad.
