The Matrix is one of the most well-known cyberpunk movies; I’m not going to argue its cyberpunk qualities. But 20 years after The Matrix was relevant, we got a cash-grab sequel in Matrix Resurrections.
My question to you is: Is there anything cyberpunk left in Matrix Resurrections? Or has the franchise been so diluted that what’s left is no longer cyberpunk? For example, in the first movie Neo was a hacker. By this movie, I really wouldn’t call him a hacker anymore. But maybe the themes of “what it means to be human” still remain?
To each his own. I find it unwatchable. It’s unrelenting high-speed sameness from beginning to end. Very tiring to watch and very boring at the same time.
