Matrix 4
for a long time, I was like if I had a wish, it would be to see the Matrix movies like the very first time.
after seeing the 4th, my wish is to clear Matrix 4 out of my mind.
There are two ways to view The Matrix 4.
When I first watched it I hated the fuck out of it.
After thinking about it, I realised its genius; it is immune from criticism. The movie is shit on purpose.
Don't think of the movie as a Matrix sequel - because it isn't. Lana didn't want to make this movie (as explicitly stated in the first act), but she also didn't want anyone else to touch it.
So, she permanently and deliberately sabotaged her legacy. There is no ambiguous ending; she executed her baby in the messiest way possible and I respect the fuck out of her for it.
well, to me, reading all this, honestly broke the whole series a bit.
Just consider 4 a parody. The original creator regards 3 as the ending, so you should too.
Matrix 4 felt like a direct-to-video sequel.
It more or less was to be honest.
If I remember correctly the wachowskis were about to lose some rights to Warner Bros or Warner had to remake to not lose rights or so.
Therefore the one Wachowski sister did that one... That's similar to a lot of the direct to dvd sequels that are done by disney. They remain to hold the rights.
