Sometimes it's nice to watch a movie and see something, anything at all. This movie has nothing.
The loss of Hugo Weaving and Lawrence Fishburne is a hard pill to swallow to begin with, but to replace the characters the way they did with a typically lacking explanation? It's all too Matrixy in its lack of compelling explanation, but not Matrixy enough in its execution. Then - to placate the viewer with the worst kind of callbacks and tired plot devices already well used up from the first three movies...? Its just frankly insulting.
This movie cares way to much for itself, and forgets what made the concept and execution so compelling in the first place. Not unlike the situation neo and trinity find themselves in this movie.
A poor installment to say the least...
