It was… fine. There’s some great shots and action, and some interesting new ideas in there somewhere. But it does some meta level self aware bullshit that doesn’t work. Also, thinking back on it, there really aren’t many stakes to feel threatened by. And it leans way too much on the original trilogy. Like, there’s so much footage from the old ones… There’s a decent movie in there somewhere, I think. But they needed someone else not involved in the originals to wrangle the screenplay.

What a load of incoherent nonsense.

> Recursive functions and algorithms are a cornerstone of computer science, that is simply how computers work.

No, not at all.

> What is recursion? It simply means taking something you have, running it again, but running in such a way that it gets slightly better next run.

What in the...

> Even the word “Resurrections” sounds a bit like “Recursion” which might be a coincidence, yet knowing Lana’s unparalleled talent of creating meta everywhere, makes me wonder.

My eyes rolled back so hard that I'm now legally blind.

One review put it nicely. It's better than the sequels... They were so awful. This, I didn't need it. I expected the worst. It exceeded my expectations and was reasonably entertaining. The two other sequels were awful.

There were sequels?

I'm happy SOMEONE is enjoying it. Because it... christ it was awful. I had no expectations for it, and it felt like some big budget fan fiction tripe. Almost a parody. But I've come to understand that whether you enjoyed it or not comes down to what you decided the film was about, early on. For me, I assumed it was all in Neo's head. Especially the bits outside the Matrix. So I didn't bother investing in or even taki…

Haven't seen it but other movies or shows like the witcher, I liked a lot but apparently a bunch of internet people are about to start a revolution over how horrible they say it was. Same with the recent Star wars movies, they were all great for me except the one about Solo. I've learned to remind myself that my experience and taste can and will be different than the crowd. I watched seasons of shows in great enjoyment and then apparently I was not supposed to! Don't let others' reviews and opinions set your expectations, people tend to see what they're looking for.
