If you look at imdb user reviews, then many people seem to be saying it is trash.

"Hackers, game, and crypto developers will enjoy “Resurrections” immensely. The general audience might have a more tepid reaction, since one has to be a coder to really get all the references and insider humor."

Yes, but when you read the reviews, it seems that people who are Matrix fans also don't like it.

The script has some very interesting ideas and a really entertaining anger toward its own existence. The actual filmmaking however is really cheap and poorly done. Bad editing, bad shots, bad fight choreography.

I watched it and the best review I read about the movie was “this could have been an email”.

There are no fight scenes like in the previous matrix, the soundtrack is also lacking. Just know this before watching the movie. This is the last time I’ll watch one of her movies personally. This is dragon ball evolution all over again, but with one of the original director. It makes no sense.

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 taking seriously any of it, expecting it all to crumble around as Thomas Anderson's fantasy life collapses on him by the end.

But uh... then the credits rolled, and I realized all that nonsense was "real". Huh.
