Not a fan as such. Not a bad series. Reeves puts in a pretty good performance as he does with much of what he is in.

What is the Matrix? Entertainment that makes a quid.

It's a sci-fi heroic epic where an ordinary male protagonist overcomes lifetime illusions, discovers he has special powers, uses them to save the world in a good v evil morality tale where reality triumphs over illusion and he gets the girl in the end.

Let me guess: this one is a resurrection myth where our hero has become lost and with the help of friends finds his way back to the truth again. Standard fare.

In industry terms it means let's see if we can milk this overworked franchise one more time.

Keep your head!

Ha Ha, most likely the 4th installment, will just be a hook to get the fans to line up for the 5th and possibly 6th installments of the series. . Sadly, I will be one of those fans

Most movies these days seem to fall into one of three categories:
1 - A sequel (or series of sequels) to an interesting original idea, where the script is terrible and the plot is predictable but hey woooooo CGI;
2 - An idea taken from comics (they've already scraped the bottom of the TV barrel); or
3 - the next Bond movie.

It's almost as though a well written script, brought to life by talented actors, is a rarity these days. Or maybe I'm just out of the cinematic loop.

I watched the first Matrix film. The concept was very interesting, but I didn't bother with the sequels. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being a fan of something, and I hope you enjoy the next chapter.

Me, too, but I've never seen one in a movie theater. I'll wait until it's streaming.

It's a love story. The theme is there is always something to live, or die for. I could elaborate.....but pfft.

A shallow rip-off of the Invisibles.
