My quick rating - 7,5/10. Glad to see a down to Earth explanation of how this exists. One of the few times I must insist that you either rewatch the first 3 or check them out for the first time. You will need the backstory since often throughout this flick you are seeing scenes from them and it makes it that much better to follow. Massive kudos for this flick going so dark and violent towards the end. Once you realize what is going on for a few minutes, you'll see what I mean. I'll gladly disagree with the IMDB masses here. I am fairly sure following the flock and being confused by the story led the charge in their ratings. There is nearly no way to explain the plot here without spoilers so I'll be vague. I might take a deep dive on this one later since I have some opinions here. And as far as how this one came to be, it was basically pointed out already. I'll leave it at that. If you need a valentines day love story, here you go. You'll also get some top-notch action to go with your feel-good romance. Neil Patrick Harris is a nice addition her as the analyst that brings things together within this new Matrix. A nutshell idea is Keanu Reeves as a video game designer that has flashes of what seems to be himself in another world. And when he runs into Carrie-Anne Moss at a coffee shop, they both swear they know each other. I think you know from there it is going to head down the rabbit hole and yes it does so full-on. I really like how self-aware the makers are in this flick. It is public knowledge that Warner Bros. told Lana Wachowski that they were going to make this movie with or without her help and she used that to take a jab directly at them in this flick. Not only the obvious dig there but also at the fans themselves in making light of how completely absorbed they are in everything Matrix-related. Those bits of humor give subtle changes of pace as Reeves struggles with the whole situation all over again and tries to differentiate that from his sanity. All nicely written and how the characters interact to keep the illusion whole. The supporting cast is quite good and a necessary component as this seemingly is setting up a reboot of the whole scenario. If you didn't see that coming, well, I am pretty sure you missed plenty along the way. The action is choreographed really well to go along with the needed CGI to make everything happen. The fight scenes are again there for the fans of seeing an aging Reeves still utilize his kung fu skills. Finding a way to breath life into a story that had an amazing start and did run to a satisfying conclusion isn't an easy task but one that has been pulled off about as good as can be expected. Check it out!!
