What are you watching?

@tr0nic , you make some interesting observations.  Morpheus being a Smith replica that chooses to be a Morpheus is an interesting concept. The movie's persistent use of mirrors as both imagery and means to progress the plot are not accidental.  There's a lot individual ideas in Resurrections that I like, but just about anything that isn't about Neo and Trinity feels underdeveloped.  I know a lot of material was cut for time, and I hope someday, maybe, a longer cut will be released (such as one that was confirmed to have been screened for critics) that will let these ideas breathe more.

I gave it three chances, and it never clicked with me.  I've made peace with it.  Maybe someday I'll give it another go, especially before that fifth movie comes out.  But I can live with disliking a Matrix movie.  I'm still a fan for life.  I've come back to lesser series with far worse films in them!

See I'm right there with you. 15 minutes into this second rewatch, I was already telling myself "Fuck why am I watching this again? Just watch clips on youtube." Nothing else on this planet does this to me like Matrix films do, where I'm sitting there thinking "Why am I watching this again?" Then days later I'm still thinking about all these ideas that were presented to me, generally unfinished, and I'm captivated all over again.
