There's a fourth??!
I was reading this headline and thought they would make a fourth now. Guess I missed something, and apparently that's not a bad thing.
Why don't they make NEW stories instead of squeezing the old ones?
I think at this point, the film industry just makes whatever and as long as people show up to the theatre and party their streaming bills, they get away with it.
From a data perspective, we love reboots and franchising because we all watch em.
There is no 4th matrix movie.
There is either a complete abomination of a thing masquerading as a matrix film, or a wonderful bit of protest art mocking the big studios. Which it is depends on your view.
It is absolutely dripping with hate for the studio. I'm honestly shocked it was released in that state.
For those who haven't seen it, the story has Neo and Trnity having been returned to the Matrix, where Neo is famous for having created "The Matrix" franshise (initially as a game).
Now the software company is out of ideas, so they've decided they need to reboot the Matrix and tell Neo that the project is moving forward with his input or without it, but that if he does it they'll give him creative control.
Then more stuff happens and it gets worse, but it has zero subtlety about how and why the film exists and that nobody involved really wanted to make it. So they make the best of a bad situation bh throwing the bird at the studio.
I appreciated that part. I highly recommend pirating the film so that the studios don't make any money off it.
If you count Animatrix as number 2 I guess.
