I had great expectation for this movie and was especially glad I could watch from home on HBOMAX. I also was excited about its 2.5 run time expecting a lot of time in the world of the "Matrix" too. Then, the movie started and me and my guests were at full focus watching, listening minute after minute expecting greatness and then the bomb as in DUD was revealed & dropped right on the viewer! The first half hour was useless and meaningless and a waste of time. Then, the actors were corny, the fight scenes weak and redundant and the Director (was there one?) needs to take dot-connecting 101 if planning to make a career in movies. Yes, the movie will make money but also at the same time join all the other dud sequels like Rocky, Terminator & sorry to say Star Wars too! Shame on everyone involved in this fiasco. Why is it that when successful people make a lot of money that they lose their creativity, drive, uniqueness and sense of wonder about their journey and its accomplishments? As for NEO, a weak, goofy and disappointing individual with no depth and you find it hard to link up to where the trio of movies left off? Trinity as well and all the other characters have little, or no background let alone point or purpose. Star Trek took us where no man has been before, Star Wars gave us Yoda and Obi wan, Jurassic Park dinosaurs, Rambo with his awesome fight-back skills, Terminator with its relentless machine mission, Alien mysterious lifeform, and all of them including this Matrix have poisoned our parting memories of some superior earlier work & concept. Hollywood, once again is in it for the money (viewer money) and while they should run it like a business, they should also not insult the viewing audience either. Shame and shame again on all involved.
