Matrixing Hard
Some Not-So Hard-Hitting Commentary About the Fourth Installation of a (Mostly) Hard-Hitting Franchise
I don’t know about you, but the Matrix is Matrixing pretty hard right now…
To honor this (and with the somewhat recent news that the 5th installation is on its way), I have decided to review a film I held off on watching until now. The Matrix Resurrections. First, you should know that I saw the original in the theater.
Yes, it blew my mind that much (↑) at the time. Okay, maybe a little less, but my mind definitely blew. Sadly, the other two films were much less blowy and more inplode-y? Sh*t was dense… If I wanted to read Hegel, I would read Hegel (which I don’t, but I will if this reference doesn’t land). In any case, this fourth iteration has its place alongside the original, in that it was more easily understood without having to take the prerequisite master course in philosophy. Just kidding, it was still pretty cerebral, but way more digestible than two or three — so, thumbs f*cking up!
