Maybe just maybe it’ll be Ok. It seems to throw back to the original format.

Fingers crossed, loved the first one then it went down hill rapidly.

Laurence Fishburne has aged well!

I tried watching the Trainspotting sequel and gave up in disappointment. The first Matrix was amazing, then it just got lost in the sequels. No appetite for any more.

Whatever happened to the court case surrounding the franchise? Saying that the story was stolen from another author or such?

The first was brilliant, proper jaw dropping stuff.
The other two were complete bobbins, they don't even exist to me. I'll watch it and hope for the best but expect the worst.

That looks good.
He needs to be careful taking all those blue pills though - he'll be 'stiff' for hours!

Good trailer

The first film was an instant classic.

The 2nd film was just a mess of poor ideas and daft characters, I didn't think it would get any worse.

Then Revolutions came along and said "Hold my beer"

+1

Personally I can see how they got from 3 to 4(if this is indeed 4)

TS2, dear lord what an embarrassment.

101% this

I hope it is either a good sequel or, failing that, just a good action movie.

I am disappointed Hugo Weaving doesn't appear to be in it but I can live without Lawrence Fishborne. TBH, it would have made more sense to have none of the original cast/characters (apart from Neo) to give more flexibility over the story without the audience seeing some original actors and some replacements (I appreciate the original Oracle was replaced but let's skip that bit).

Have the Wackoffskis run out of money?

I predict great awfulness.

Anyone else think Neo would have been better off if he'd just taken the other pill?

Also,

Is it just me, or does it basically look like a fan service remake rather than a sequel.

checks Yep, I'm still in.

Trailer looks great.

Despite loving the first film and Animatrix, I have literally no clue what happened in either of the others. All I remember is some twins shooting cars, trinity falling and some stupid rave.

Feel like I need to find a youtube video explaining it in dumb-dumb terms, cos I sure as shoite ain't about to watch 2 + 3 again.

I'm pretty sure it's a Normantula McMan production. Guy has a solid track record.

I never made it through 2&3 without falling asleep or just wandering off to do something else.

Can anyone explain what happened at the end of 3 that might lead to Keanu, and Trinity being apparently back in the Matrix, and unaware?

As long as it's not 'Somehow, Palpatine returned...'

Didn't they all die when their underground rave cave was drilled to death?

And the architect told them this was the 7th time it had happened?

He should get in a better civil engineer to do the calcs next time. Make that rave cave a bit more robust.

They should have turned the music down a bit. Serves them right for being noisy neighbours!

Kind think that’s maybe an alternative storyline.

Probably rubbish, but still looks pretty good

White Rabbit. Still possibly the best song ever made

I'll be at the cinema come Xmas watching this. Bring it on 🙂

The sentinels attacked in one huge army, Neo switched the Matrix off and back on again.

I'm also fairly sure there was something about Neo being a construct of the Matrix itself, and when he died he didn't truly die but was reabsorbed into, just like had happened many times before.

And something about the oracle saying there'd be another Neo some day.

I may be imagining this/making it up, but it's what I remember happening when I made the mistake of sitting through 2 and 3 in the cinema, and I'm not revisiting them to confirm/deny it.

Screenplay by David Mitchell apparently, who is a most excellent writer.

Worth a punt for this alone.

I will also require someone to explain what happened in 2 and 3 to me.

First Matrix is one of my favourite films of all time.

To me, it was a film I desperately wanted a sequel to after the first one, and when they did you thought why.

Is it me or do some of the effects in the trailer look a bit ropey? I was in to it until I caught a glimpse of the human enclave thingy from those two films we don’t discuss in polite company. Please just stay inside the Matrix. By the halfway point of the second (third?) film I was on team robot

Neo switched the Matrix off and back on again.

So this is a reboot then?

I worked full time in a rockers pub for 3 years once. They played White Rabbit on a constant loop. Must have heard it 50 times a day. 6 days a week. For 3 years.

And yet... what an utterly brilliant song.

The trailer looks great for what appears as a simple remake.

I will try and make the trip to the cinema. In the new year I reckon 🤔.
Had the Ghostbusters reboot been released yet? Or will that be out around Halloween?

Is what I was thinking - there is a lot of reference to the pills in the trailer and that could suggest they play a significant part of the story. In the original (correct me if I am wrong) if he took the red pill he would forget the meeting with Morpheus and just carry on being a part of the construct but taking the blue freed him to become Neo.

In this film perhaps he is taking the blue pills to keep him in his new 'reality' (he throws a load down a basin).

Or I could be talking ballcocks.
