I'm excited but there sure are a lot of member berries moments
Hey look a black cat
Hey a guy getting pummelled Dragon Ball style against a wall
Hey bullet casings falling from a dramatic camera angle looking up
Hey a bank/lobby action scene
Hey Trinity sitting down hacking as cops attempt to capture her
A freaking dojo fight scene/training moment obviously set in the Matrix itself
It's the same issue the Jurassic World, Ghostbuster Afterlife and most of these revivals have. Too many winks and nods to previous better movies.

I have no idea what to make of this or what it's supposed to be.
I'm interested though and will wait and see.

It makes sense for The Matrix though, given the nature and themes of these films. And I wouldn't put it past Lana to comment on the right wing red pilling with this movie.
It makes sense here tho cuz of the cyclical nature of the matrix.
But the whole thing with the Matrix is that they keep rebooting it, and the same things keep happening. It's built into the lore. Some things change, but the path for "The One" doesn't.
Edit: all together now!
This actually confirms one of the things that got leaked
That The Matrix 1999 is an actual film inside the Matrix.
Somebody here joked earlier about Lana doing an End of Eva type of studio scene but she's actually doing it lolAlso this.
This thread is like the posterchild for people jumping to all kinds of conclusions, having basically no info. Man, are people really not that self aware?
Big difference is that deja vu and repeating cycles are literal in-universe things in The Matrix, so imo reimagined aspects of the old movies can become narrative-relevant and says something about the characters/world if implemented well rather than just being hey remember this beats
There are shades of orange and blue in the Matrix raining letters too. And those colours were virtually absent inside the Matrix in the original trilogy until the last shot.
Yep, plenty of hints like this in the trailer, which is why I'm laughing at the dumb dumbs saying "looks good, but why are they just doing the first film over again?", etc.
I feel like those references will tie in much more directly to the story than with the other films you mention. I'm sure that the meta aspect of returning to Matrix 1 will be very important, just going by the teaser the "Matrix" that Old Neo is stuck in seems to be very much built around his own memories.
Of all the franchise resurrections that have happened lately, this is the one where I don't really mind the winks and nods because they're more likely to be there for a reason that isn't just fanservice, especially going on some of the other imagery in the trailer
Don't look the same to me and I doubt Weaving would care to return.
Where's my mans Hugo Weaving at? I wanted him to be in this. Looks interesting either way though.
Yes, that's the point of a trailer: to communicate what I'll see in the actual movie. It's supposed to give me a taste of what I'm going to see in the full film.
What I saw in the trailer was a rehash of greatest hits moments from the original Matrix. I found that really unappealing. I was shown the same old thing, rehashed. The same old beats. It's not exciting to me. It's dull. I find it disappointing. It doesn't inspire me to want to watch this, and I love the original movie to death.
The full new film may obviously be wildly original and amazing. The full new film may be a lot of things. But the trailer is here to give me a first impression, and my first impression is not great.
How many of those revivals are directed and written by the original creator with the original cast returning in lead roles, to revisit the original in light of the themes presented by the world today?
The problem with revivals having nods that feel like nostalgia baiting is that it tries to put a fresh coat of paint on what is ultimately an unoriginal idea. Doing Jurassic Park again with a new cast! But look at the references! Etc. Here is a very different thing though.
Didn't know Jada Pinkett Smith is back too. That's interesting

So the machines kept his body. Maybe the AI brings Neo back because there is a larger threat? A competing AI that won't abide by the truce?
All I want from this movie is a scene where somebody frustratingly dumps a drawer full of spoons on the floor. Just a big ol' pile of spoons.
He was asked to be in the movie but couldn't because of scheduling conflicts, actually.
I was joking about the rebuild evangelion stuff in my previous post but maybe they are actually going to do it like RebuildAlso this.
I agree, but I can see this being better than reloaded and revolutions, it won't top the 1st one though.
I liked the trailer, I love that it feels different.
I think Weaving said he was asked to return and wanted to do it but his schedule prevented it.
Now that I look at the image of Neo and the old man in the reflection, it does look like it could be a bad CGI head of an older Hugo Weaving. The Matrix has a history of terrible CGI faces.
Kay... interesting if that's the direction they go in then.
I guess that's true, the black cat is one thing it's everything else that feels too reliant of pulling cool visuals from the first film.
As I said i'm excited and like what I saw so if you're all right that these callbacks turn out to be important for the story then all the better.
Oh totally, beating Revolutions and Reloaded isn't the highest bars though, ha.
