The Matrix Resurrections

I definitely need to watch this again. It’s a lot to process. Trinity and Neo are ordinary folks in this. Not super-cool, monotone, sunglass-wearing, gun-foo ninjas. But ordinary schlubs. But Neo knows something is amiss. His life in the Matrix is filled with dreams and glitches. Efforts to make this snarky and media savvy yield mixed results. Some of it’s fun, but some of it’s… oblique. Neil Patrick Harris throws out a lot of curve-balls as a manipulative therapist, but who is he really? The architect? Could somebody please call me and explain. The fighting and chasing is, as always, top notch. Images of brainwashed citizens falling from the sky, leaping to their deaths, are terrifying. And the love story between Trinity and Neo is still sweet and solid. But my brain needs a little more resolution than this story provides.
