Lofarl Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) Not a retro night at Ingliston but a new film starring John Wick. Edited September 9, 2021 by Lofarl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 All you can really tell from the trailer is that it's the Matrix. Could be amazing, could be shite. Keanu having the same hair and beard he always has is an alarm bell though. It reminds me of Harrison Ford not bothering to shave for Blade Runner 2049. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Good trailer tbh. It got my interest piqued. Was the Matrix just all a dream? The last 2 certainly were nightmares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 The original trilogy is soooo of its time (not to say the first one's bad whatsoever) that I was kind of hoping they'd just go with that style to see how it looks in 2021. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire Keanu for just doing the one guy at a time. He spent ages just doing Neo and I'm excited to see him do John Wick in a Matrix 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Presumably they aren't showing much, but the trailer makes it look like a reboot with (mostly) the same actors. Got a horrible feeling this could be a Godfather 3 situation, with Lana Wachowski making another Matrix film to fund stuff she actually wants to do. And we've already had two Matrix sequels made for cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Started the first one last night having never seen it. Plan is to finish the trilogy before watching this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a total reboot wouldn’t be out of sync with the originals. Certainly looks good from the trailer. Neo munching all the blue pills intrigued me the most. Sick and fed up of the real world, so gorges on the blue pills? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I got the vibe initially that Neo was in Matrix heaven. I’ll definitely be seeing it in cinemas regardless if I can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 The machines revive Neo after he died in the third one and put him in his own personal matrix as a thank you for defeating Smith, unaware of who he is. Like with how the traitor said in the first that he wanted to be re inserted into the matrix and not remember anything. The film will be about the humans trying to break him out of this 'jail' and him remembering who he really is. Setting up sequels. Neil Patrick Harris as his shrink is an agent keeping an eye on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I dislike all the hate the original sequels get. The 2nd was a fine film, with the absolutely Monica Bellucci looking incredible. The 3rd was what it was, a finale to it all with a war with the machines. There was nothing wrong with it at all and I demand that someone put forward a case to say otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they were pretentious, unnecessary, and (worst of all) boring shite made purely to cash in, and no amount of Monica Bellucci can change that. If you (understandably) want to molest yourself to MB, there are far better alternatives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent many a Sunday in bed with a bagful of shite from the local corner shop (Irn Bru, sweets and crisps watching through the whole trilogy, normally with a hangover. Time well spent. The original was absolutely incredible and it was impossible for anything to come close to it. Once you realize that, you can enjoy them a lot more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original was absolutely incredible, and the sequels gave us Fat Morpheus and the world's least appealing orgy. I suppose they could be entertaining to watch the pretty pictures go by, but put any amount of thought into them and you'll chew your foot off from the cringe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play it on fast foward and its kinda funny tho Aye, Stanley Kubrick had that idea for A Clockwork Orange. The protagonist raping a couple of twelve year olds might have come across as a bit grim, so instead he made them of legal age and consenting, and ran the scene at high speed to the William Tell Overture, like some kind of early version of The Benny Hill Show. I'm really not sure how someone starts at "horrifying child assault" and ends up with "wacky sexy fun times". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
