The first time I saw this movie, it resonated in a way that I had never experienced with any other movie. At the time I didn't even really know why, all I knew was that I was hooked. The more and more I watched it over the years the more and more it became obvious that it was more relevant than I even knew. It's a Golden Egg.
The Matrix was awesome and felt original and relevant in a way no other movie had. However, the two sequels weren't anywhere near as good. Maybe the producers didn't expect it to be such a big hit and hadn't planned on sequels and had to write them on a tight deadline. Because none of the storylines were nearly as compelling and the ZION scenes were just cringe. I also didn't like the fact that the role of Tank was race swapped and given to an actor who wasn't nearly as good. I haven't bothered to see the newest sequel based on what I heard about the plot and all the bad reviews. Sounds like a remake of the first with more POC characters. Hard pass.
